Pros

“As a physiotherapist working in Canada, I use it regularly for documentation, organizing patient-related information, creating reports, and managing day-to-day work tasks.”

Manpreet K.

Physiotherapist

“Microsoft 365 is a reliable service that integrates email, file storage that can be shared, and other apps that allow for customization/editing or creating files and while also being able to collaborate with others.”

Clyde W.

System Adminstrator

“I enjoy real time co authoring in Word and Excel, the ability to edit same paragraph together at the same time without any issue. When we are on large project the direct video conferencing feature in Teams ensures our day to day work moves forward smoothly.”

Olesya K.

CTO

Pros

“The software is reliable, feature-rich, and suitable for everything from simple spreadsheets to advanced data modeling. Although mastering all of its capabilities takes time, its flexibility and productivity benefits make it one of the best spreadsheet applications available.”

Piyusha P.

Customer service operator

“Microsoft Excel has become one of the most valuable applications we use daily across IT and business operations. Whether analyzing ERP data, reconciling EDI transactions, tracking inventory, building dashboards, or creating executive reports, it consistently delivers the flexibility, reliability, and functionality needed to support informed decision-making.”

Dave R.

Manager

“I like using Excel for its versatility and ability to handle everything from simple data tracking to advanced analysis and reporting. Whether I'm organizing prospect lists, tracking sales activities, building reports, or analyzing data on a spreadsheet, Excel provides the flexibility to customize spreadsheets exactly how I need them.”

Jordan V.

Sales Specialist

Cons

“The platform is used to manage our day to day activities from attendance to parent contact. Although not happy about the annual increases in prices, the change is too disruptive now.”

Katherine R.

School Administrator

“OneDrive syncing occasionally causes duplicate or conflicted files if several users are editing documents at the same time.”

Valentin P.

Administration Manager

Cons

“One small mistake can break everything* If you delete a row or write one wrong formula, the whole sheet can get messed up and all the results change. And "Undo" won’t always save you if you already closed the file.”

Mutahar S.

Pharmacist

“The mobile app is pretty much worthless for us when writing budget spreadsheets - don't have half the columns on my phone during board meetings.”

Katherine R.

School Administrator

“The software is also prone to silent user errors, where a single misplaced formula reference or hidden row can subtly corrupt critical calculations without immediate warning.”
