Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Excel

I typically use Microsoft Excel to track cost for project. I find that it's advanced enough to hold large amounts of data and used complex formulas to help analyze data. I use it to create spec sheets and competitor charts for different products. Having the cell structure is very useful in showing a large number of cells while also being able to visually compare the differences.

Pros

  • Show large amounts of data
  • Complex formulas that pull data from different tabs
  • Allows editing to make data visually appealing.

Cons

  • It could be better at making the data visually appealing
  • Offer AI features
  • Easier to connect data in different worksheets
  • Collecting and storing data-Positve
  • Comparing Data-Positive
  • collaborating with others-Negative
I'm giving it a 7 because it is my go to. But the fact other prefer Google Sheets when working with a team does get irritating. I've used the online version of Microsoft Excel that other teams can get into and it still seems behind Google Sheets. It's a little clanky and slow? If that's even a term.
Like I've put in previous questions, Microsoft Excel seems more advanced. I'm always going to prefer using Microsoft Excel if it's just me working on a task. If I have to work with other then Google Sheets is going to be preferred. The online version of Microsoft Excel seems to have a lag in general and it's not a great experience.

Do you think Microsoft Excel delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Microsoft Excel's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Excel live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft Excel go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft Excel again?

Yes

I find it easier to use than Google Sheets , though it's easier to collaborate with other teams using Google Sheets. I also feel like Microsoft Excel is more suited to deal with complex formulas. The best way to put it, if I have a project that I'm solely working on, I'm going to use Microsoft Excel. If it's going to be shared, then I'm using Google Sheets.
