Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 2016

We use Microsoft Office within some of the teams to make/read documents, presentations and spreadsheets.
Many of our clients share Office documents to share project requirements. We use Office to read these documents. We also use Office to create status documents, quotes and other business specific documents. We also share documents prepared using Office within the company.
  • Microsoft Word's formatting of documents is very powerful.
  • No other product comes close to the feature set of Office. Very comprehensive.
  • Office is a heavy software. At times it can be slow to load, especially if the machine is not very high-end, or if many applications are running.
  • Office helps in client communication.
  • Being an industry standard, the documents prepared in Office are read and understood by most businesses.
Microsoft Office is more powerful than all its competitors. It is also perhaps most expensive. However its feature set is vast: much higher than other similar products. The other benefit is that it is very popular in the industry. It is used by many of our clients as well.
The Office is very intuitive to use. It is a stable product. The large user base ensures that it gets extensively tested. The online help of Microsoft Office is also very helpful.
In addition to the above a huge number of blogs and videos are available that explain different features of the product.

Microsoft Office is the industry leader in document editing software. All the products are very powerful, and industry standard. The feature set of the products is very vast. Microsoft PowerPoint is well suited to make client presentations. Excel's formula editor is very powerful. The most popular office tool is Microsoft Word. It is suitable for making different type of documents across industries across different business sizes. Many other tools are able to read documents generated by Microsoft Office.

It is less suited for very simple documents. Cheaper/free alternatives are available, if your requirements are for very basic document development.
