Google Sheets

When you have a large amount of data you need to review/analyze/track, Google Sheets, in my opinion, is superior to Excel because it is more user-friendly in terms of flexibility moving the data around (drag and drop large chunks of data in rows or columns), formatting data so it is easier to read and navigate.

Google sheets was fine for my personal use in college. Google sheets is fine for a business looking to use a spreadsheet for organization of names/lists/information and where online access or group editing is a heavy focus (though this can now be done with Excel as well). Google sheets has a lightweight feel and is great for simple tasks and uses

For beginners, Google Sheet is a really nice platform to start getting used to collating data and creating easy-to-read data. I believe that college students stand to benefit from the use of Google Sheets due to its easy access and user-friendly interface. The easy to share and access ability of Google Sheets stands out amongst its competitors. The function to allow everyone with access to edit and keep a track of the real-time changes makes it easier for the team and also improves the speed. Another interesting feature that has kept Google Sheets in the second place on my list is the chart creation and visual representation features it offers.

If you have a lot of projects with your colleagues and you need to work on the same file, Google Sheet provides a perfect opportunity to save resources and time. It makes the working process much more enjoyable as you can both work on the same file simultaneously. However, if you need to work on large spreadsheets I would not recommend you to use this software.

Google Sheets is suitable for just about every standard Excel task (though I haven't tried to use it for visual analysis or pivot tables). It is particularly strong as the middleman connection point between programs via Zapier. It's extremely useful for sharing and updating information among multiple, geographically dispersed coworkers.

Great for remote teams and long-distance clients. Great way to organize work. A good way to make a schedule and share it with colleagues. Can easily see updates/changes that have been made. Can easily access your sheets on different devices. Some functions require Excel rather than sheets - specifically formulas and different accounting functions/cell formatting.

Google Sheets is an affordable and easy-to-use tool that can help you collaborate with others. It's free if you take out a Gmail account, but the business version allows for sharing data in bulk from entire organizations. Google sheets are not very recommendable when you don't have the opportunity to access an internet browser in order to work with data and download information.

Google Sheets is great for payroll as it's extremely easy to organizes the number of hours an employee works, their rate, the pay date range, in a good looking sheet that is easy for others to read.

Google Sheets is very well suited for large teams or when collaborating with multiple teams as it becomes easier to access data from cloud. Multiple updates can be done simultaneously without any hassles making it easier to work. It is not as helpful when we need to use data for graphical representations ( charts) and also for pivot tables.

I would recommend this to a teammate or colleague who needs a spreadsheet with more collaborative capabilities than mathematical/formula-type capabilities. We use Sheets to track vaccination bonuses and the pivot functionality to ensure no employee is over paid a bonus. It allows multiple teammates across the country to enter data at the same time and then allows me to audit and confirm the data before payroll processing.

Works for more start up companies, not those over X amount of employees

Google Sheets is a great tool mostly for people in the finance department such as accountants who have to analyze hundreds of transactions. The software makes it easy to organize data and handle some analysis. Also, when it comes to data presentation, Google Sheets offers some of the best features. However, this is not to sat people outside the finance docket cannot benefit from this software. It is a great tool to have when handling data.

I use Google Sheets with my Account Executives to plan which person will prospect into certain accounts. It makes it so easy for two people on different sides of the country to edit the same document at the same time. I use Google Sheets every day and legitimately cannot find any scenario where it would not be a useful tool. I even take notes in Sheets.

Google Sheets is great for when you are going to be working with multiple people on the same sheet, need people to be able to see your progress on a given sheet, or when you are using it for project management situations to keep people on track or assign tasks. I would say it is less well suited if you are going to be working on a solo project or especially if you are going to be using advanced formulas.

Google sheets is great for groups or organizations that need to collaborate and share information in real-time as well as being easy to use. Since it is free and it is at no cost to any organization to start and deploy this solution, there really is no decision-making necessary.

It also gives you the opportunity to upgrade for more advanced users, so it satisfies most organizations

I've recommended Sheets to all of my clients. Also have shown a variety of friends how to use Sheets. I use it not only for managing my business in preparing estimates and organizing events, but also for music jams and performances. Everyone involved with the jam can use Sheets to sign up for the songs they know, indicating which instrument they play. It's a game changer for organizing jams.

Google Sheets is best when sharing data in real time with others. It may not be appropriate to use with sensitive information, since it is stored in the cloud and can easily be accessed from various devices, as opposed to having a spreadsheet saved locally on one computer's hard drive.
