Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 2016

We use Microsoft Office 2016 to create training materials across the organization. MS Office is versatile and allows us to collaborate and share content with employees across our global offices.
  • Creating training material (guides, decks, etc)
  • Data analysis
  • Compatibility across devices and platforms (PC to Mac to Mobile)
  • Creating and supporting macros
  • I don't have visibility into specifics around ROI.
  • It helps with communication and documentation, which ultimately have an impact on our efficiency across the business.
Microsoft Office 2016 is more robust and feature-packed that Google's suite of software. However, I find that Drive and Google's online software suite is easier to use for collaborative projects and quick notes.

On specific software within the different suites, Microsoft Powerpoint is FAR SUPERIOR to Google Slides in every way.
I haven't had the need to reach out for support on Office so I don't feel I'm qualified to give the overall support for Office a rating. I'm usually able to find answers to questions about Microsoft's software online and rarely is Microsoft's actual documentation as helpful as community forums. However, I haven't worked directly with Microsoft's support team and so don't feel qualified to rate the level of overall support for Microsoft itself.
