Pros

It is so powerful, and I know I'm barely scraping the surface of what all it's capable of. It is amazing for tracking progress, analyzing data, and staying organzied.
I like the ease of this software to input my numbers that have been acquired over the year and is a good reference to keep my numbers straight.
I would easily recommend it as it's perfect for kids in school, in the work place etc. All it's features are detailed and open doors for me to be as creative as I want to be.

Pros

I like that I can easily create, save and share documents using this app. Its also available for Android which is a great benefit.
The best bang for the buck easy to use and easier to set up user friendliness at its absolute finest.
The software is great for adaptation in many different facilities and functions across many platforms. It is easy to use and great for and type of documentation.

Cons

Some of the error messages are hard to decipher when using the software and the functions have confusing variables to put in at times.
The software cannot be readily integrated or harmonized with other information systems. The software is totally insensitive to human errors; it does not prompt the user when there is an error.
When there is a large amount of data entered into a spreadsheet it's inevitable to have trivial human mistakes made. Sometimes it's very difficult to find those mistakes later.

Cons

I hate that I can’t input texts or photoshop picturess and I hate how it’s only for Windows not apple.
Interface can be confusing and hard to figure out where to go.
I dislike that Microsoft Word formatting sometimes gets messy and difficult.

I can't imagine excel not existing. The next best thing would be Microsoft Word.

Pros

It is my first go to any time I need to organize data. Working at a school requires a lot of work with Excel. It's easy to use after learning the basics. I still learn something new each time I use it.

Cons

I wish shortcuts were accessible from excel itself. There are times that I have to Google how to use a specific feature because either I forgot or I don't know how to use it.

We send out bulk physical mailouts to our subscribers, and use Microsoft Excel to make and update these mail merge lists. It integrates well with Microsoft Word, so we are able to print out large mail merged documents and send personalized mail to our subscribers.

Cons

The only negative I can think of Microsoft Excel, is it not having useful live collaborative editing features, which we end up using Google Sheets for.

Highly satisfied with Excel, i would give a 9/10 rating. There are many functions to it other than just spreadsheets. Great software for graphs and charts.

Pros

It is very user friendly, I like how many of the formulas are already listed and you don't have to actually create them. Customization/styles is very easy and there are plentiful options with just one click for those that aren't very creative with colors, fonts, etc.

Microsoft Word

Everyday Document creator

Reviewed a year ago

Microsoft continually updates the word with great features such as draw that was recently added.

Pros

Word has a lot of support both online and through Microsoft. One of my favorite use of this software is the mail merge feature which saves a lot of time and automates data from excel to word.

Cons

Not all features are easy to understand and use. To use word to it's fullest extent, professional training might be required. However, there is no word processor that comes close to Microsoft word that I have used.

Pros and cons of word

Reviewed 8 months ago

There are pros and cons to Microsoft - older generations swear by it and usually purchase and roll it out without considering other options that have hit the market. I prefer Google but like mail merge features and how it talks to excel.

Pros

Everyone has experience with Microsoft Word. It is the nature of the beast working in education and is the standard across the industry. You take the good with the bad as it is Microsoft.

Cons

Only talks to Microsoft software hard to use offline and is most expensive platform with outdated features - also students don't prefer it

Microsoft Word

An essential tool for an office environment

Reviewed 2 years ago

Word is getting better and better with time. The 365 version is even better. Happy with it.

Pros

Word is my tool of choice for any document that requires an organised and professional presentation. It provides many powerful and convenient options such as indexing, integration to office and vast page and text configurations.

Cons

Microsoft could use some lessons from open suites such as LibreOffice un regards to autocorrect in spreadsheets. Also spreadsheets in docs could work as they do in Excel instead of "dummy" tables, providing more power to the tool

Microsoft Word

The gold standard for word processing software

Reviewed 3 years ago

I have to write technical documents describing processes and How-to's. Microsoft word is key in helping me achieve this in a professional looking manor.

Pros

Nothing can compare to Microsoft word. The feature rich word processing environment help Microsoft Word stand out from all the rest. The ability to customize the word processing process for each individual user is incredible. Also the ability to sync with OneDrive is also a great feature.

Cons

Microsoft Word is a little behind on the collaboration aspect and features that their cloud competitors excel at. It's getting better with the Office365 version but there is still a lot of work to be done on this front.
