Its very easy to use, it allows data to be organized in a very understandable way. It has its problems, but you can absolutely work around them. Pros I like how simple it is to use. Its super intuitive, everything is well labeled and once you start using it, its really great to do a lot of things. I love the way you can costumize graphics to your pleasing. Its also very convinient that you can create multiple sheets in a doc, that way, I can have all my information store in one place and not need to search all over the computer for it Cons It has a very short memory, if you click copy but then go to another slide and click in anything else, excel will forget what you asked it to copy. Its very annoying. Review Source William C. Senior Claims Rep Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A classic Spreadsheet software program with excellent features" October 15, 2020 5.0 Pros I have used this product for at least 20 years and have been through many upgrades. I use this in my job which is the insurance industry as well in my personal life. I love the ease of use and the interface. There are so many features available, most of which I will probably never use. However it is nice to know that they are there as an option. It is powerful and versatile and I really like the pivot table feature. Cons There are not a lot of color schemes and visibly it is not the best and could use some updates . I have had issues with crashes at times and lose the data which is not OK. It also does not support many other formats which can be a problem if importing data Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Operations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft Excel is by far the best spreadsheet software currently available" July 10, 2018 4.0 Pros There are so many great aspects of Microsoft Excel. One of my favorites is the use of shortcuts and autofill. The program is great at predicting what you want to drag down or sideways to new cells. The software also has great formatting tools to help you make rich looking tables and graphs. Perhaps one of the most useful features are pivot tables. This component allows you to quickly and effectively sort information in a spreadsheet using all sorts of unique filters. It takes a lot of the repetitive work out of grouping information manually. Cons There are not too many negatives in Microsoft Excel. My biggest gripe is the fact that the program slows down and stutters if the data set is too big. It works well with smaller data sets, but once you get a few thousands lines of data in the spreadsheet, it lags a bit. Another con is that writing formulas can get very confusing. I wish the team at Microsoft would help users by giving a tutorial or enabling auto fill to better predict what users are trying to accomplish. Review Source IA Ilaria A.

The way excel support data presentations with graphs and all is really helpful during the presentations. Pros Excel is widely used to maintain spreadsheets to keep a track regarding production cycles. Excel is a very powerful mathematical tool that allows simple arithmetic calculations much easier. It has a very user-friendly interface and it is really easy to master the program with available demonstrations and videos over the internet. excel macro is used for higher order calculations and predictions. Cons Excel doesn't have a guidance system build inside the software. so if you want to find something, you always have to browse the internet. Review Source Mert S. Sensor Application Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool for daily works by far!" May 16, 2019 5.0 Most of my daily work is on excel. It's one of the greatest tools ever. Pros It's almost impossible to write down all the upsides of this great tool here. I want to underline especially pivot tables. I always need to have tables that should show the features and costs of my parts. Using this feature, it becomes much easier to show what's needed on presentations upon the pop-up questions. Additionally, thanks to this great tool, I can tidy up all my works and find whatever I need. Also, I make my basic calculations using excel as well. Cons Wish I would have immediate instructions upon my sudden needs. Microsoft could work on online instruction proposals like google instantaneous advertisement. Review Source AA Akhila A. Series Producer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Happy User!" March 13, 2021 5.0 It has been a good to great experience but not too much to complain about. It also keeps things very systematic and organised - which is crucial for some one who needs some sort of order in life. Pros The pros are the easy interface, the self explanatory icons and task panel. Being an older software, it is easy to find enough and more tutorials that will explain things that may seem difficult to do. Cons There is no cons because earlier when accessibility as an issue, they turned out with google sheets which is similar. Having said that , there maybe smaller cons but as long as they do not turn away a user, they dont cause any harm. Review Source Jeremy K. Business Analyst Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excel is one of the best! " February 16, 2019 4.0 We use it for payroll, data entry, adding & multiplying, and things related to the engineering field. Pros I use Microsoft Excel on the daily and what I love the most about it, is all the different things you can use it for. Working in an engineering space, you can use it to hold all data points then calculate them, all along while making it presentable in a clean fashion. Microsoft does such a great job with their programs and excel is one of the brighter points within the office suite! We also use it for time sheets and keeping track of pay roll as well. From basic accounting to profits and losses, Microsoft Excel is the key program in its field. Cons It can take a while to get used too if you are not familiar with it. Once you take a quick course you can start to get the hang of it though. Also, it can be pricey for what you may use it for if you do not buy it in the complete suite that they sell together as a package so I recommend that. Otherwise, excel really is a superb program that has stood the test of time over the years. Review Source MW Michael W. Marketing Director Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There's no legitimate substitute" February 24, 2021 4.0 Excel keeps my data organized and easy-to-digest. I deal with budgets, large projects, groups, vendors, etc. Whatever information I need to store and easily reference, Excel is there for me. Pros Excel does everything. It has to, it's the business gold standard for a reason. While the UI/UX might be a bit clunky at times, the end result is the best value for money available. Cons As mentioned above, the UI/UX has had no real improvements in decades. Little tweaks here and there are fine, but overall, Excel looks and functions the same as it always has. In 2021, a bit more intuition and flare would be nice.

Review Source David K. Owner Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excel is so easy to use" December 4, 2019 5.0 Excel enables us to track sales and commissions more efficiently. Simple formulas help avoid addition and multiplication errors. Pros The thing I love most about Excel is it's super easy to use. Anyone can create a simple spreadsheet to track a set of numbers. If you need to do anything more complex, there's so many tutorials online to help you out. I really love tracking out business numbers using Excel. All of my staff use it to track their sales and commissions. Cons I wish there was a way that when you created 10 worksheets and they were all similar that you could apply a change to all 10 at the same time. Now if you change anything, you have to make all the changes on each worksheet. That can be very time consuming. If I'm going to have multiple worksheets I really try to make sure my first sheet is perfect and then copy it. Reason for choosing Microsoft Excel The best product.

It also provides a lot of tools to make formatting easy and make the data presentable. It is also easy to work with with Python so is preferred by me to store input data Cons With files having large data, it becomes difficult to work with sometimes. Also, the formula when I accidentally move to a separate cell gives continuous errors which is annoying. Errors in formulas can be provided with more details to be able to debug it Review Source SG Sabin G. Accountant Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best software for managing documents and evaluating work productivity." August 4, 2021 4.0 on the overall basis the software is really good. It would be really helpful if we could use the software in old operating system like windows 7 etc. without getting any update option or error messages when working offline. The software works really good if used with latest operating system and processors. I would definitely recommend the software to all my friends as it is very user friendly. Pros Its ease of use and able to link the software with other production software. Cons Its not that operable in old versions of system software like intel pentium, core I3 etc and gets lot of system stuck issues because not all the companies update the processors of the system often.

I generally look at server traffic data and try to manipulate it in different ways to see trends and whatnot. But I’ve also done chemical engineering work through it. There’s no way I could rely on the knock off tools like libre office or google sheets. Pros It can do so much from simple spreadsheets, to data manipulation and visualization, to simulations. (If you know VB) Filling through rows, Pivot Charts, and Solver are some of my favorite tools. The advanced data tools make my day to day IT troubleshooting so much easier. Cons Collaboration can be difficult if you don’t like or have sharepoint. (Unlike OneNote) some of the functions can be tricky to use and you usually have to go someone’s blog to find the right syntax. Review Source HEA Héctor Eduardo A.

Quality Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not a math wiz, but Excel is" March 4, 2021 5.0 Pros This is the Swiss Army knife of software. I can us it to prepare spreadsheets - fabulous ones with interlinked cells, beautifully formatted and presented. I can also write a letter or do some basic graphic design. Cons SO much to learn! The initial onboarding is time consuming. There are some terms that are repetitive which makes it difficult to know, for example, which "insert" you need - the one to insert a chart/graph or the one under the main menu to insert a row, but once you get the hang of it, things work great.

Customer Success Representative Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premier Spreadsheet Tool" December 5, 2019 5.0 I thoroughly enjoy excel and could not see myself using and enjoying another spreadsheet solution. Pros The functionality is fantastic. Everything fits in the screen, unlike other spreadsheet tools that are difficult to manage. The actions are crisp and there is rarely, if ever, any lag time after a click. All of the equation formats are laid out well and explained with the bubble which is very useful. Cons It's honestly hard to find something that I dislike. If I had to point something out it would be a lack of use when it comes to other ribbon options like Formulas and Data. I never know the correct situation to utilize these features and more suggestions of when to use them would be helpful.

Pros What I like most about excel is easy to use for data processing. I also like that it is easy to search online how to execute tasks in excel. I also like how it streamlines with other Microsoft products. Cons I like least that excel does not have much ability for real-time collaboration with colleagues. I also do not like how excel frequently crashes and becomes very hard to use with very large data sets. This can disrupt other computer/business functions and be very frustrating in losing data and time.
