Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 2016

Microsoft Office 2016 is being used across our organization. We use Microsoft Word 2016 to draft documents and Microsoft Excel 2016 for simple spreadsheets containing tabular data, as well as for more complex VBA code, pivot tables, and data analysis. We also use Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 to prepare presentations and Microsoft Outlook 2016 as our primary email client. Since Microsoft Office 2016 is a suite of applications, it helps to support a variety of business-critical functions.
  • Clean and simple interface shared across applications.
  • Application is locally installed but able to integrate well with cloud storage.
  • Microsoft Excel 2016 can struggle when parsing lots of data and with lookups and custom sorts applied.
  • Subscription/License levels means not all applications in suite are available to all.
  • Default platform for ad-hoc report generation - (+ve).
  • Initial cost-prohibitive - (-ve), ROI - (+ve).
We selected Microsoft Office 2016 due to its ease of use. It is also compatible with our client, Microsoft Operating systems. The common user interface across all the applications in Microsoft Office 2016 makes it easy (and familiar) to perform everyday tasks. It is also very familiar to our existing users who have used previous versions of the Microsoft Office Suite, and so onboarding is straightforward.
We have only used the internal help sections and on occasions done web searches for common issues. We have not engaged Microsoft support (and not had a need to). Because of the wide user base on the web and multiple forums, it is easy to find the solutions to common and obscure problems.

Microsoft Office 2016 is well suited for a general office environment. It runs on Microsoft Windows and macOS operating systems, but it not available on Linux. It is lightweight and has a very friendly user interface. Sometimes the help sections can get unnecessarily intrusive. Lots of online templates can make work easier to get done. Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 allows free form slides.
