The robust access controls and permissions ensure the security and privacy of my data, which is particularly valuable in collaborative settings. The document management tools also make it easy to organize and manage my spreadsheets effectively. > > **Cons**: On the downside, I find the reporting and analytics features somewhat limited compared to dedicated tools. While Google Sheets offers basic reporting and analytics capabilities, more advanced features for in-depth data analysis would be beneficial. Sometimes, the data extraction process is complex, especially when working with large datasets. Simplifying this process would improve efficiency and usability. ----- ### "Google Sheets Can Do It All" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *18 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Sheets, both free and paid, is one of my favorite new pieces of software in the last few years. It has allowed us to collaborate on important documents even faster than before, with real-time changes being made as we go. It couldn't be easier to use, and the user interface is nearly perfect. I have documents with complex formulas set-up, so all I, or my coworkers, need to do is plug in a handful of numbers, and we'll get much more data back as a result. We even use it for simple collaboration projects, such as catalog editing. Google Sheets is worth every cent. > > **Cons**: Google Sheets is lacking a few features that Microsoft Excel has, so occasionally we will have to export to Excel, make a few changes, and re-import the file to Sheets. Customer support is also somewhat slow, and sometimes unable to offer solutions. > > I use Google Sheets to collaborate with other offices, allowing for easier editing of critical and time-sensitive projects. We have created our own templates for a few things, the main template being our product catalog, which we also use to help keep prices accurate and match across offices/companies. ----- Page: 1 / 529\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/169718/google-sheets?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/169718/google-sheets) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
