Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

We mainly use it [for] reporting and dashboarding. Sometimes we need it to do some quick calculations. We also use it as a source for PowerPoint presentations, Tableau dashboards, python reports, and models. Most of the business users are quite familiar with excel and hence it's easy for us to share insights via excel.

Pros

  • Clean interface
  • Easy to learn and use
  • Data manipulation for low - medium size data

Cons

  • Features in mac
  • Shortcuts for mac
  • Optimisation for handing data manipulation in bigger tables
  • Faster reporting
  • Quick data manipulation for low to medium data size
  • Easy data storage format
Excel is much better than Google Sheets. It has better features and compatibility, especially for windows. For mac, I don’t see a big difference as excel needs some significant improvement for mac os. The Cloud version of excel is very similar to mac and I don’t see a lot of difference there

Yes

Yes

Did Microsoft Excel live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Excel go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Excel again?

Yes

Any quick data manipulation, storage and reporting can be done through excel. Non tech and business users are quite knowledgeable in excel and they prefer excel documents for task like weekly monthly and quarterly reporting. Excel won’t work for big tables where rows exceed a million. In such cases it becomes too slow and often crashes
