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.

Office 2016 is used across the entire organization to allow the sharing of spreadsheets, documents and projects. It allows real time edits to be made and allows us to effectively communicate via email through outlook. Outlook is used in conjunction with exchange to also utilize calendars and sharing of events and meetings.
  • Sharing of information between users quickly
  • Easy to use with a very simple interface
  • excellent pricing for our needs
  • New releases tend to be buggy.
  • Support can be a little difficult.
  • Major changes to interface can be confusing when it happens.
Typically sharing word and excel documents that need to be edited on the fly has been a very useful feature for us. It allows these changes to be made in real time so other users can see and make changes of their own. EndNote integration with word is also a largely used feature which is very handy.
  • Impact has been positive due to time saved
  • Money has been saved due to not needing any other applications
  • training time has been reduced since most everyone is familiar with the software
Not as robust and feature filled as office 2016. Also missing a mail client like outlook that can be integrated with exchange. have not used any further applications besides this.
Support is a little lacking but has helped me on a few occasions where needed. It can be trying at times when you are going in a circle only to find out there is a bug that can't be fixed until the next update. Typically no major bugs that stopped work from getting done or missed deadlines.

The software is used by administrators, assistants and executives at all levels for various job functions. Much of this is email usage, letter head and letter creation. Spreadsheet functions are also utilized by a large part of the organization.

In general our IT team is in charge of support for Office 2016. This includes the installation, removal and repair of functions related to Office 2016. The skills required are minimal and the issues are usually fixed quickly by our team due to the experience with previous office products (2010, 2013, etc)
  • Used daily for email
  • Used daily for spreadsheet generation
  • Used daily for document creation and editing
  • We have extensively used the sharing and peer editing functions more extensively than expected.
  • We are constantly exploring new ways to use existing software and currently have no current insight into how else we may use this software as we have very specific needs.
We believe that office 2016 offers the best value when it comes to features included out of the box. The software is used in its entirety by our organization and is easily supported by our staff of IT technicians. Users find this software to be easy to learn and easy to use with minimal learning curve.
