I am able to send attachments into an email with Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.
It is great for putting documents together. This includes writing an essay or a letter. The formatting is also great.
Some of the tool bar options can be a little overwhelming and always unsure on where to go. But once you get used to it, its not bad.

Overall I'm satisfied with Microsoft office, especially Excel.
I use the Excel program everyday for my business. Once a spreadsheet is setup (formulas in place) it keeps my data organized.
If I accidently erase a formula, the undo button doesn't work. Instead I have to exit out of the program without saving then open the program again.

Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) online everywhere in every platform.
Much better set of tools and experience compared to Google Drive. It is almost all the same you are used to deal with during your entire life with Microsoft Office but It is completely online, you get OneDrive cloud storage, exchange server for your mails, minutes of Skype call and etc.
It is expenseive, even more if you compare to Google Suite, for smaller companies It is not worth it, you can do almost everything but with not so good experience with Google Suite. For mail Google is also much better and have the advantage of having google login everywhere.

We use Microsoft excel and PowerPoint as well as word.
This is a great software for everything Church related. We use it for teaching and preaching outlines and for monthly Calenders and spreadsheets.
The price could be a little cheeper. It is a great option to use it on multiple computers for one yearly rate

Microsoft 365 is so useful for professional work. Excel makes reporting, tracking, and budgeting easy. Power point makes presenting easier. Word makes many administrative burdens easier.
I like how Microsoft sift 365offers a variety of platforms from Microsoft word to excel.
Formatting can be tricky to figure out. Especially on word.

We use Microsoft excel for spreadsheets for all kinds of things at work like overtime sheets, stakeholder records and so much more. I'm overall happy with Microsoft 365. Definitely worth every cent.
Microsoft excel is really amazing for keeping record of all our shifts as it calculates everything with a few buttons to push. Microsoft word is so easy to use and has many great features that make life easy; definitely helped make my thesis writing easier.
Without proper training Microsoft excel can be quite challenging.

Honestly, Microsoft is falling behind a lot of other file storage/sharing platforms. Very disappointed. Really only use Excel since it is the only app in my opinion that has no real competition.
Microsoft 365 is home to many amazing applications that are extremely powerful (namely Excel). Super great that it has become more collaborative now with Microsoft Teams and online versions of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.
Big files cannot be opened online. Also difficult to have multiple team members working on the same document in real time. Outdated look and feel. SUPER slow at times (namely OneNote). OneNote is so buggy and difficult to use both through Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office.

The countless uses each software package offers that constitute office 365: Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc. The easy software interfaces and the seemless transfer of information between each of the packages.
The fact that the software is expensive and requires a yearly renewal for service

I use Microsoft Office 365 to get access to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. I have the latest versions of each, and it says that when new versions come out, I will get it automatically and free of charge. This is better than the situation I have seen sometimes where some people have an older version, and they can't share files with each other.
I like that Office 365 gives me all the Microsoft Office software I'm used to using at work, like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think it would be neat that if you use at work, you also can use it at home, like a job benefit.

Overall I love what Microsoft has to offer word, Excel, Outlook. etc.
I have use microsoft office software for decades now. I use daily and even though there are other free options you can't compare them the software products offered by Microsoft. I a love Outlook for email more than google.
Over the years I have gotten used to and adapted to the Microsoft line of products and I still prefer them over any others.

Since upgrading to Office 365, along with getting the latest versions of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint, we also get the ability to have real-time co-authoring through the cloud. This lets us work on the same documents and see changes appear instantly. This has become a really productive way to work, especially when we are in different offices, or travelling between jobs.
I value the real-time co-authoring available in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint that are available with Office 365.
There is nothing that I do not like about Office 365. I have nothing to say that is negative about it.

I usually just use Microsoft 365 for Word and Excel for college assignments.
If you're a college student, you're able to get Microsoft Office for free! I love using this software because a lot of workplaces use these tools as well. It's easy to learn how to use especially if you have experience with google products.
I would say the only cost is that others have to pay a lot to use Office 365, but I do think it's worth it due to it's ability to work fast with little lag.

This software allows you to use all other applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Microsoft word and any other related applications that require Microsoft office.
In order to have a full functionality of this software, you need to either updated to the latest software and/or purchase it.

As a quality assurance engineer i'm daily maintaining multiple test-case documents and status documents. There fore i'm using Microsoft word, Microsoft excel, Microsoft power-point to fulfill my daily tasks.
Main thing is i can create or edit work-sheets over mobile devices from anywhere at any time. Also i have subscribed "Office 365 Enterprise E3" package in my workplace. And i can access all the required features, such as Outlook, Word, Excel, Power-Point, Access,One-Note
When internet connections is not steady, application will show "laggier responses" to our commands. It's better if you have a good network connection if you're using this application. Other than that there are no any cons to say.

Long-time user of Excel, haven't found any other tool (including new entrants like Airtable) as helpful when it comes to core computation tasks.
Excel has always been the easiest way to manage and process numerical data. Google Sheets has been a recent alternative, but Excel remains the most powerful tool (i.e. custom formulas, shortcuts, acceptable data) in play, and should be installed on every computer.
Easier sharing, especially if the recipient is not integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem (e.g. no Microsoft / Office 365 acct).

We've used excel as a tool to help track sales and also forecast inventory. Our planner has developed different sheets and workbooks to help our business function without having an actual inventory system and forecasting tool. As a small business, its been very useful for us and has saved us a lot of money.
+ The functionality around pivot tables + The layout and flexibility in being able to edit how you want your toolbar to look + The help section is actually very helpful, compared to other softwares
+ It does crash now and then, but might have something to do with Microsoft Office 365

I use excel everyday for comparison charts to doing engineering calculations. Making things automated saves me hours a week in busy/tedious work.
Everyone know's what Excel is, it is the pioneer of the spreadsheet software and is well recognized by everyone who has ever turned on a computer. It is stable, familiar and to say it simply... it just works.
Excel is part of the Microsoft Suite/365 packaging which can be expensive for a lot of people.

Ultimately, very satisfied with the capabilities that are important for almost all businesses.
Microsoft Excel established the industry standard for data manipulation and editing. The new functions and all ones, such as pivot tables, are necessary for many businesses who deal with data.
The 365 version currently is not supported by many businesses and it is the only cloud alternative available by Microsoft.

Microsoft Excel gives me a comprehensive solution for spreadsheets and the extra features that come with 365 are quite useful.
Microsoft Excel is a titan in the spreadsheet scene and it's easy to see why, Microsoft continues to improve Excel with every iteration, the "Tell me what you want to do" feature is an example of this, allowing less experienced users to accomplish more complex tasks with a simple search. All in all a powerful, simple to use solution for spreadsheets. Would definitely recommend.
I've had no real gripes with Microsoft Excel in all my years of using the software to be perfectly honest, any bugs I have experienced have usually been fixed with updates.

Building a database of products and services, as well as estimates was easy to do. But sending out the lists to customers was flawed. After my subscription runs out, I will not be renewing.
I liked that it was available with my Microsoft Office 365. Easy to customize data and add what was needed.
Utilizing the invoice generator, while easy to set up, anytime it was emailed the sheet was flawed. While it looked fantastic on my end, estimates sent out to customers would be displayed askew. Lines not shown on my side would be highly visible to the customers, the format (especially text) would be moved and display only a few correctly.

Excel is a great program if you are using it locally or take it with you on the go and don't have to rely on cloud storage. It does what it says it will and does a fantastic job.
Microsoft Excel is a product that has been around for a long time and has got better with age. Excel has made a name for itself as the definitive spreadsheet program on the market. This program is great for creating spreadsheets or interpreting data and creating graphs.
Microsoft Excel does not come standard with cloud-based save options unless you have the Microsoft Office 365 subscription which can cost $80 per year. Would be nice if this was included free.

My financial life is all built and analyzed in excel. with excel I've done several types of business, create a spreadsheet according to the needs of the company where I worked and with it I also control my financial life without much effort. Spreadsheet development in Excel has helped me and continues to help me with native Excel functions. Spreadsheets with Macros. Spreadsheets with VBA (Visual Basic) Forms. Spreadsheets with Charts. Spreadsheets with Dashboard. excel is essential.
You can access it from any device, anywhere
Excel with Microsoft 365 could be a little cheaper and previous versions with example: excel 2003 could be released to users for free.

I love using Excel to store information and data, whether it is keeping track of contacts and their information, or organizing research data.
I don't really have any complaints except that I know that Excel has way more capabilities for statistics and commands than I actually use. I'd love to learn more!
