Overall Satisfaction with Google Sheets

I use it as a way to track progress of my own personal tasks. It is a simple use case, but it's effective in my day-to-day life so that I know where everything is at and what I need to work on. I have used Google Sheets in other ways, but this is the most recent and consistent use case.

Pros

  • Templates are helpful
  • Autosaving to Google Drive adds reliability
  • Formula recommendations are always helpful

Cons

  • Less emphasis on AI
  • I don't have many ideas for improvement, it's great for how I use it
  • I've increased efficiency by knowing exactly where projects are at.
  • Removed the worry of forgetting tasks by keeping things centrally located.
For someone who has spreadsheet experience, Google Sheets is very intuitive and user-friendly. The reason I would give it an 8 is because there is always an element of difficulty for people who have little to no experience with spreadsheets, especially when it comes to unlocking the true potential of formulas.
I have used monday.com and Trello for task and project tracking. Those tools are useful in the company-wide setting where multiple people need to have access, though the way I use Google Sheets is strictly for my own eyes. In that situation, I think Google Sheets is far more effective. Excel is the obvious comparison for spreadsheet work, and I don't necessarily have a preference in terms of actually using them.

Do you think Google Sheets delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Sheets's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Sheets live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Google Sheets go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Sheets again?

Yes

When working with client data, it is easier and more practical to work offline in the formats that they typically use. Those would be the more traditional Excel and CSV files. In those cases, it does not make much sense for me to utilize Google Sheets because then I would have to redownload the file when done working and resave it in their preferred format.
