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

When trying to coordinate files and data with multiple users in different organizations, it is a very valuable tool. This works really well with my clients who are located in various time zones. We share with candidates that we have sources in the Google Sheets and they can comment at their convenience.

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.

Google Sheet is well suited for creating fast, collaborative, spreadsheets. Whether working on a budget with others on your team, tracking a task list toward completion, or importing complex tables, Google Sheets is a great option. Also, dropping in data and creating interactive pivot tables and visualizations is easy too. Google Sheets doesn't offer more complex tracking. It isn't a database and there are limits on what visualizations it can do on your data. For more complex reporting visualizations I have linked Google sheets to other products.

Google Sheets is well suited when someone wants to keep track of records in a systemic manner. Google Sheets is also helpful in working as a team by giving access to other teammates for some specified task. It is highly secure and one of the best tools to work with.

Google Sheets can be very helpful in a small organization. Where there is less use of analytical function and only need is to store data it can be used. It is also useful for the person who is working remotely as its autosaving and online accessibility feature is helpful. It is not recommended in large organisations where data is huge and requires a lot of formulas to be applied. Also where analytical skills are required it won't work well.

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.

- any scenario where teamwork or multiple sites for remote working happen, make google sheets the perfect tool. - it'd be less appropriate to use if the use of the [Google Sheets] has a strong link for formulas as it has limitations compared to excel Microsoft

Google Sheets is best suited for any data manipulation or storage needs. It is easy to record macros, which is fantastic if you find yourself always formatting abstract data in the same way. It is also fantastic when you need multiple people to all update the spreadsheet at once due to being able to have multiple users online at a time. It is fantastic for collating Google Form data as it supports automatic syncing.

Offline editing is great for working remotely when wifi may not be readily available. It is also great for conversion of Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers documents. When working with large datasets, it seems like Excel can handle more data better than Google sheets. It also works well with other Google programs such as docs. Some users report that formulas work better in Excel. Overall, for most applications, Google sheets has a clear edge for me.

Google Sheets is great for teams of colleagues who need to track and update analytics in real time from multiple locations. If you need to easily upload data you can input into Google Sheets, then download as a .csv file to then easily upload to internal databases. Basically, anywhere you need to input data across various cells and access the data from any location, Google Sheets works perfectly.

The best part of Google Sheets has been the ability to have multiple user use the Sheet at the same time and be able to see your movement and entry in real time. We do a lot of group reports with data we then create graphs and pivot tables.

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 a great option when trying to organize tasks for team members. While working through Jira, we were able to pull all the data we needed, from status, who to assign to, and when tasks were due, In a scenario where you want organization, Google Sheets is for you!

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 find it very easy to save documents without using space in our computer. Also is very useful to edit documents at the same time by several different people, we can share whatever we need and discuss it, we can make presentations very easily, create spreadsheets to study data. I believe it doesn't fail at any subject.

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.

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.

  • Love that [Google Sheets] has an autosave feature when editing as we all have wasted recreating a spreadsheet in Excel when your computer restarts; which it always does but the one time you are working on a huge project and you forget to hit save before you go home
  • The ability to pull up through a browser at home, and one at work, doesn't require you to send emails back and forth; which needed to do with excel.
  • cannot think of an scenarios where it isnt appropriate.
  • Ditched Windows after the Vista debacle to Mac and hands down Google sheets is better than Sheets.
