Nhat: Hi, my name is Nhat. I'm an IT instructor from 1:00 to 5:00. I give WPS a 4. For more information click below. Before I was using WPS I was using Google Docs and Microsoft Office, and it wasn't working for me before because Google Docs does not have much features, and Microsoft Office was too expensive for my organization. So I chose to use WPS and it has all of the features that I needed. I chose WPS Office because my organization would like to cut the cost of spending on Microsoft products while using all of the features that are available. Using WPS Office was hard at the beginning because it only have three software available, the spreadsheet, the writer and the presentation. It's not as much as Microsoft Office, but it has all of the features enough to use, so it's the same as Microsoft Office. The only thing is I have to train my staff more on how to use it. I recommend getting the WPS Office because the advice I would give is to have the staff getting used to it first before deploying the WPS for your business on every computer. And make sure to train the staff to use some of the features on there, such as clicking around and using all of the Office, using all of the tools, before you actually implement everything on the employees computers.

Pete S.: Hello, I am Peter. I am the owner of Two Paths Investment Partners. We are a family owned real estate business, operating multifamily properties in different states and I use Microsoft 365 and I would rate that a five in terms of my review. Before Microsoft's 365, I was just using some various ancillary products that weren't tied together. I couldn't cut and paste easily. I couldn't really produce professional type documents and when Microsoft 365 was available, not only I was able to connect on the internet and all my devices, but level of my work increased, the professional work. So it's indispensable at this point. I use 365 because it's really the gold standard on the market and it's one that when I make presentations or produce documents for other investors or partners or vendors or anyone like that, they really prefer to have it in that type of format. They can use that. It's easy to share, easy for them to read. So it's really a must have product. Yeah, it was really intuitive. It was really a sort of simple, intuitive process from the start. Getting on and learning and then having the online learning when I needed to find out how to do something, complete a task, improve my documents, it was easy to access through the 365 help Windows or on the internet as needed. So it's been really terrific without needing all kinds of third party IT support. You really can use it for my business. Being a small business, it's, again, fairly indispensable. Yeah, I would recommend 365 for anyone looking to take their business really to a professional level, as well as being able to utilize technology to lower their own costs. It really is sort of a partner in your business. So if you're doing certain tasks or using technology, you can use 365 really to kind of scale your business and grow with you. So it's really applicable for anyone in business or even in your personal life to use technology and able to free your time to do other things and complete tasks.
