Microsoft Office 2016 is a standard application that we utilize at our institute. We use it for both PC and Mac platforms and is a staple that fits our document editing and creation needs.
  • Works well with other Office versions of documents
  • Integrates well with Mac & PC Operating Systems
  • Many Tools for Word, Excel and Powerpoint
  • Some features from the previous versions of PowerPoint were removed causing a little pain with some of our power users
  • The sign in feature can become annoying each time you launch a product
  • The licensing feature sometimes loses its registration, therefore, you receive a message from time to time that your product is unregistered
Works well with previous Office document versions but it could be overkill if your users only utilize one of the three apps. Due to the cost and licensing, we only deploy Office 2016 upon request of the user. Otherwise, they use Google Sheets, Docs & Slides.
  • The product is a staple, so it definitely increases employee productivity.
  • Licensing and cost remain the top issue. We are constantly battling Microsoft to maintain our "Non-Profit" Status.
  • The cost has made us very strict with deployments. Users that request the software can get an installation and others can use Google Sheets, Docs & Slides.
Google Drive allows us to utilize Sheets, Docs and Slides which are the equivalents to the Office Suite. While Office 2016 has more features, Google Sheets, Docs and Slides is a good low-cost substitute.
We are constantly battling with Microsoft to maintain a "Non-Profit" status which allows us to purchase multiple licenses at a lower cost.

Reliability is the most important factor. As a Helpdesk Manager, my job is to implement tools that require little user complaints and it has to be easy to use.
I wouldn't change my process, the tool is pretty straight-forward and easy to use.
