The Gold Standard
Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Microsoft 365 is the workhorse app for my work, and I have a Mac based office.
I use Word daily. There are features that Word for Mac doesn't have, but Word does so much more and I don't need to know every Word trick to make it work. I use Excel frequently, at least weekly. It is much more robust than offerings from competitors. Again, I don't know all the tricks, but I can do what I need to do and Microsoft's help features guide me through new tasks.
I have used OneNote, and it's a powerful tool. However, I don't process information in a way that makes OneNote helpful for me.
Even better, Microsoft's development team have made installing updates bulletproof. Updates no longer tie up RAM or cause conflicts on my Mac.
