From my experience, Google sheets doesn't compare to excel. It suffices for basic spreadsheet needs but does not compare in terms of functionality. An organizational change led me to the opportunity to use Excel and I'm happy to have made the switch and have not looked back. Again, Sheets just feels limiting while Excel feels nearly limitless.

Microsoft Excel is very similar, I don't have much to say in comparison. I have not tried using formulas in Google Sheets. OneDrive is also very similar but it autosaves so you don't have to worry about saving information or forgetting to save and losing data. It is also connected to Outlook, which is my personal email server.

In my opinion, based on my own experience, I believe that Google Sheets stands in the second position in my list of spreadsheet software largely because of things such as ease to share and access data, multiple edits simultaneously and keep a track of the real-time changes, ease of linking presentations and charts to other Google files.

Microsoft Excel might be good for large-scale local work, but Google Sheets is so fast and clean. I have also used other systems like Air Table, and Excel online, but honestly Google Sheets is so ubiquitous and easy to use I always start there first. Other software products I find are too complex and it's difficult to share the sheets with others. I like that Google Sheet offers a way to interact with others without having to create a Gmail account. That makes it easy and fast to compile something and share it.

Google Sheets is newest of all and is easy to understand. It has better UI or display then rest all. Minimal design helps to focus more on work. In built chat features is one that makes it stand out of league then rest of all. Unlike MS Excel and LibreOffice it is available both online and offline.

Microsoft Excel is much more functional and has more functions/capabilities than Google Sheets. It is also faster compared to Google Sheets. On the other side, Google Sheets is better for collaboration and saves you a lot of time. As I usually do not work with big files I select Google Sheets.

We selected it for it's nearly universal integration capabilities to pull data from all the programs in our tech stack for deeper analysis in Tableau. It integrates with Tableau, which is the number one reason we decided to use it. It's a lot more user friendly than Excel, even in the online Office 365 envirnoment.

I find Google Sheets much simpler and easier to use than Microsoft Excel. It is free which can make a huge difference if you are on a budget. It is also entirely web-based which makes sharing and collaborating much easier as well as ensuring that there is only one version of the document at any time.

Google sheets has a clear advantage. It is more simple to use for daily applications, allows for easier collaboration, and has portability (offline working). It allows for easy sharing and integration with other Google online programs such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Forms.

The biggest kicker here is that Google Sheets is free. On top of that, it is way easier to share the file with other users who are not within our company, with easy controls over how they can access and what exactly they can do with the file. Also, being able to see who all has access, and is currently viewing/editing the file is a great way to track who has contributed or not.

I enjoy the ease of access and sharing information with anyone, google sheets is great for that. You can easily send a link in an email or text message which makes it easier than other programs because you have to purchase separately if their software doesn't come included at no cost. I choose Google Sheets because it's very easy-to-use when compared against other similar tools out there where providing data requires additional steps such as creating accounts on each platform before being able to view/share your workbooks across different devices.

We originally selected Google Sheets for its easy to use interface and seamless connection throughout using Google for all of our business. We love how all the different google apps connect and make it easy to share things with the team.

Google Sheets allows for all of the capabilities of Microsoft Excel, but with real-time edits that can create a collaborative experience across teams. By being able to access people's changes in real-time, it makes for an easier work experience, especially in the remote world in which we're working now.

Google Sheets is very good in performance and can be accessed from anywhere being a cloud application. That is the major differentiator for it. Sharing of documents is not a difficult task anymore and no need to use space from our personal devices. It is very simple to access and user friendly.

  • Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued)
On Microsoft, we can't edit the documents at the same time with our friends and co-workers, we need to save everything on the computer memory. I find Google Sheets to be a lot superior, by allowing us to save everything up in the cloud, to read, share and edit whatever document we need at the same time with our partners.

Sheets is more collaborative and allows multiple users to access the spreadsheet at once, but Excel allows for more formulas and tends not to "stick" as much when difficult or multiple formulas are used at once. The capabilities of sheets are robust enough for our purposes and find the collaborative functionality more valuable than some of the more in-depth formulas that Excel offers.

Microsoft Excel and Numbers on Mac. Used the first reiteration of the Windows 365 and was terrible.

It stacks up well against excel due to power of two other Google products 1) Google search and 2) YouTube. If you cannot find an article or video to help you might be disappointed but keep looking.

The major reason I use Google Sheets over Microsoft Excel and Apple Numbers is for its ability to allow multiple users to access and work on the same spreadsheet at once. This is incredibly more efficient and effective than updating and sending copies upon copies of the same Excel or Numbers spreadsheet back and forth as email attachments.

Excel certainly is very robust and is perfect for power users who need to conduct complicated formulations. However, the program is so feature-rich, it's possible that it may be confusing to users. And most users will never need or use 60% of the features available.

I prefer Microsoft Excel's functionality because I think it is slightly more user-friendly than Google Sheets, but because of the cloud storage and sharing capabilities of Sheets, I literally always opt to use Sheets over Excel. I really think the only advantage that Microsoft has over Google in this area is that it was grandfathered in - Sheets has at least 99% of the functionality and look as Excel.
