Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 2016
I use Microsoft Office on a daily basis for individual and collaborative work. The software within the bundle that I use the most are: Word, Excel, Powerpoint; I rarely use OneNote; and, I do not use Outlook.
The software is used by the entire team that I work with. As a team, the software allows us to work on shared documents with all the tools that the software allows. I've organized events working on a single document and or spreadsheet.
In addition, OneDrive allows each team member individual storage and cloud sharing abilities.

- Word: Great for editing texts both individually and collaboratively.
- Excel: I have not found a better solution than excel for working spreadsheets. Google sheets is quite good, but has various limitations to what can be done. In addition, the web experience does not compare to the actual software on the computer.
- Portability: accessing documents and software on laptop and mobile devices is constantly improving.
- Adaptability of the bundle: there are tools that are included in the package (OneNote and Outlook) that we do not use. Would be great that users can chose one or two optional software options.
- Same Mac and PC functionality. Experience working with the software on a PC and on a Mac varies beyond the usual differences between one platform and the other.
- Great. Value for the money is optimal.
- No negative impact
In terms of Layout, functionality, versatility, I believe that Microsoft Office, is in general, the standard to follow. Nonetheless, depending on the requirements, LibreOffice and Google Drive may provide the tools and functionality needed for many users. Furthermore, the constant updates, online storage space, as well as other connected services (skype for instance), make this an integral part of the system.
In relation to security, despite the security of the services, I'd consider adding extra layers of security for sensitive documents.
