Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 2016

Microsoft Office is the No.1 tool for our office needs. It is being used for the entire organization including all the departments we are working with. Previously, we were using MS Office 2013 and 2 years ago it was upgraded to Office 2016. As we are working in the office, 60-70% of our daily work is being managed by the MS Office products. I'm using MS PowerPoint, Word, Excel and OneNote on daily basis, and Access from time to time. We manage mail with MS Outlook, documents by MS Excel, presentations by MS PowerPoint, data sheets and graphics in MS Excel and databases in MS Access.
  • Excellent mail, meeting and contacts management with MS Outlook.
  • Calculation, graphics, analytics and data management is properly and efficiently done by Excel.
  • Good level management of presentations by MS Powerpoint.
  • Good documentation control and management with MS Word.
  • Capability to save documents as .pdf files or use MS virtual .pdf printer feature.
  • Instant crash issues with MS Office 2016.
  • Difficulty to operate (freeze during sending mail, etc.) while operating large mail databases in MS Outlook.
  • Room for improvement with the analysis toolpak.
  • Compatibility of the files with other Office software.
  • Increase in work efficiency due to the common usage of MS Office 2016 products (file compatibility).
  • Reduced costs due to using MS Office family only (do not need to purchase or use other Office tools).
  • Robustness due to the proper operation of the software.
Well, first of all Microsoft Office is a prestigious product against the rivals.Secondly, it is regularly being patched or updated against security risks. Third, has more features than the rivals. Has wider usage in the business world/market when compared to open office software. Operates more properly and does not cause inefficiency due to crashes or other problems.
Microsoft is a trusted company and provides enough user support when encountered with a problem during the usage/operation. Regular updates are generally based on user experience, crash reports or feedback. It gives online support when achievable or either the IT team gets the support from Microsoft based on our requests/issues. So overall, I feel safe when working with MS Office products at all times.
