Works just like Excel, so not much of a learning curve. > > **Cons**: I don't have any complaints, it was easy to learn and formulas are just as easy to create in tables using Google Sheets. > > I have been pleased with the ability to collaborate with my team using a product we can all access through our Google Business account. ----- ### "Simple, Reliable and Very Useful for Daily Business Operations" — 5.0/5 > **Valentin** | *22 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most is how flexible it is. We use Google Sheets for all sorts of things like tracking purchases, monitoring hire costs, invoice logs, cashflow, and general reporting. It’s easy to update, easy to share, and multiple people can work in it at the same time. It also works really well with other Google tools like Forms and Drive, which helps us keep processes simple. > > **Cons**: When spreadsheets become very large or complicated, they can be harder to manage and sometimes slower to use. You also need to keep things organised properly, otherwise files can become messy over time. For very advanced processes, a dedicated system may be better than relying only on spreadsheets. > > Overall, my experience has been very positive. It has helped us improve visibility of data, reduce manual work, and build useful trackers without needing expensive software. We still use it regularly because it is practical, reliable, and quick to adapt when business needs change. For day-to-day operations, it has been a very valuable tool. ----- 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
