I particularly appreciate the efficiency with which the platform handles table creation, data aggregation, and chart generation directly within the workspace. The AI capabilities are highly intuitive, streamlining complex tasks that would otherwise require significant manual effort. Furthermore, the ability to generate formulas through simple prompts is a notable advantage, and because our entire team utilizes the Google ecosystem, real-time collaboration is exceptionally seamless. > > **Cons**: While the generative AI features are impressive, there is occasionally a learning curve when it comes to refining the specific prompts needed to get the exact data output I am looking for. I would also love to see deeper integrations for even more complex data analysis across other Workspace apps. I am concerned about the number of repeated idea templates; it made it hard to see all the options when I had to go through so many of the same types. > > Google Sheets has become an indispensable tool for my daily workflow, and the addition of Gemini has elevated it to a new level. It effectively bridges the gap between raw data entry and professional visualization. Being able to leverage AI to automate table organization and chart building allows me to focus on high-level analysis rather than repetitive manual formatting. It is a robust, reliable, and increasingly smart platform that continues to save me a significant amount of time. A lot of repeated templates. Great integration with other apps like Gemini, plus many others. ----- ### "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 / 530\ 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
