Overall Satisfaction with Google Sheets

We use Google sheets to track and update projects in real time by multiple people in various locations. We also use it as a bridge between other applications and Tableau via Zapier.
  • Easier than Excel to create formulas and conditional formats, etc
  • Integrates with almost anything so can be easily used as a workaround to link two programs that aren't integrated with each other
  • Makes sharing work and updates very seamless
  • Would love to see better AI that takes more of the guesswork out of formulas, especially for newer users
  • Sometimes there are glitches with the horizontal scrollbar
  • It's all ROI for us because it is an included part of the Google product suite
  • It's more mobile friendly than Excel and can be shared real time, so things get done more quickly with less back & forth
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.

Yes

Would you buy Google Sheets again?

Yes

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.
