I've used WordPerfect and Office over the years. WordPerfect has a lot of nice features, but recently Office has incorporated most of them. The main reason why my company went with Office is due to the file format. Office files are more widely accepted as the standard and …

Office 2010 is no longer supported, so this was no longer an option, we had to upgrade. Also the Office 2010 has several limits that restricted us. Office 2019 does not support updates over WSUS, so it does create an extra administrative cost compared to Office 2016. Their …

We have always used Microsoft Office products, beginning with the older versions, but we did try a brief evaluation of OpenOffice from Apache. Even though that open source software is free, it's got certain limitations and a different functionality that was missing from …

For certain situations there is a benefit to the "standalone" package of Office 2106, vs. a subscription-based product like Office 365. Especially in the case where there are shared computers, or computers that are used as a kiosk, Microsoft Office 2016 would be one of the few …

Microsoft Office is more powerful than all its competitors. It is also perhaps most expensive. However its feature set is vast: much higher than other similar products. The other benefit is that it is very popular in the industry. It is used by many of our clients as well.

I'd recommend [Microsoft] Office2016 for any business that has more than a couple of users, as the software is very scalable from just a small business to a large enterprise corporation. I don't know of any case where it might not be appropriate, as even home users and students use the software suite as well.

Data manipulation. Excel takes the raw data we receive and allows us to digest it in ways that are useful to our business processes.
Communication. Outlook serves as our primary means of communication and setting up appointments.
Documentation. Word is the default standard when it comes to using a word processor and we are no different in this regard. Nearly every user has to use the application on a regular basis in order to accomplish their work.

It's fairly easy to use, but the automatic formatting or capturing of formatting when pasting is wonky - especially when there are outlines or other bullets/numbered lists. Fixing and sizing up tables can be annoying, and there are sometimes formatting issues that we just absolutely cannot fix for some reason

I am an MS feedback hub participant and they certainly don't pay enough attention to several bugs several people raise it in the portal. For the enterprise, it seems to me based on my prior experience that yes, they have a dedicated team to support operations. For mid to small companies or single users, it has been a struggle. So, you are pretty much with MS Blogs and others.

Microsoft Office 2016 saves me a lot of time daily. I have functions and macros set up that calculate and show me a lot of things just from a couple of my inputs. This would take full days sometimes if not for that.
Apart from time, it saves me money, I manage data in Excel, I don't have to buy software specifically for that.
Sooner or later my company will have to switch to new edition, which will hurt revenues because of a subscription model.
