Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

[Microsoft] Excel is used extensively throughout our organization and across all the departments. The major reason for using is its ease of adding and maintaining data and the ability to analyze large amounts of data. Data organization becomes a lot easier and very useful for visual data representations. Formula features and Macros are precisely the major reasons for using [Microsoft] Excel widely.
  • Data organization
  • Formulas and Macros
  • Visual representation of data
  • Many formulas make it hard to learn
  • Only available in Windows and Mac OS
  • Cannot detect human error during data entry
  • Time reduced by ~60% for data analysis
  • Increased efficiency in reporting
  • Data representations made quicker
[Microsoft] Excel beats Google Sheets due to its ease of usability and speed. As the data keeps increasing, Google Sheets starts slowing down and will make you impatient. It also provides many functions (nearly 400) which is far ahead of Google Sheets. Overall [Microsoft] Excel would be preferred over others due to its ability to handle large data, its speed, [and] its multiple functions which helps for quicker analysis and for visual data representations.

[Microsoft] Excel is best suited for handling and organizing large amounts of data. For its analysis and visual representations. It is also widely used for tracking sales, creation of detailed reports, graphical representations, and for Finance & Accounting purposes. [Microsoft] Excel is not recommended for doing statistical analysis and it doesn't give the results with the required efficiency. It shouldn't be shared with the team to make updates simultaneously as this often causes data to be overwritten.
