Great Product for people with minimal needs

4.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

Simple and easy to use, cloud sync lets us access the files from anywhere, can share files with colleagues and live editing can be done, really helpful as it is used in integrations like google forms where it directly transfers the form data into a sheet, like other google apps, sheets also has collaborative feature which is really helpful, be it personal or professional tasks.

Cons:

No Spell Check, no charts and formulas are a bit hard to implement, during large datasets, processing takes time, obviously a bit slower as it is cloud implemented and not offline like Ms Excel or other software

Google sheet features

Comments: I was using it for dealing with HW change in the industry where Iyqs yorking yhen I needed to deal with multiple teams, it was not easy to set up but worked well after it. It was sometimes slow and even more when I was trying to add dynamic cross tables. At least everyone could work on it at the same time with the possibility to see very easily and quickly what is being done by who and with notification of the added lines/features by your team.

Pros:

It is a lot more easier at first to use this if our company is under google emails and so for the teamwork and data sharing. Furthermore you can easily restric areas and it is quickly handled.

Cons:

We all know excel and this is not exactly the same names/functions, it is so making it harder and takes more time to do the same things as in excel. We have to compare it, this is a bit mandatory. FUrthermore, when you have a bad connection, it becomes much more slower and almost impossible to deal with it.

Google Sheets Review

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Really good, I like using Google sheets and I am confident when using Google sheets as I know it is very good and reliable when it comes to a number of formulas that I need to add up. It is also very fast and secure.

Pros:

Easy tool to use, adds up formulas for you itself. Really good and advanced features. Nice and quick, saves automatically. Amazing when creating tables and forumulas.

Cons:

One thing I don't like about Google sheets is there is no spell check, for someone who inputs a lot of data in to Google sheets and is typically a fast typer, spell check would be amazing to have. Cloud based so always has to have internet

Google Sheets for the win!

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall, I really enjoy the ease of use of Google Sheets. It saves my team so much time and eliminates the need to constantly save different versions of what we've been working on. It has a low learning curve and can be shared when working on the same project. Highly recommended for all teams of any size.

Pros:

Google Sheets takes excel to the next level. This tool is much better to use than emailing an excel sheet back and forth. Updates are viewed in real time and easy to track. My team and I can work in the same google sheet simultaneously and view changes in real time. We can collaborate quickly and easily on a project together. All of the features are similar, if not the same, as the excel spreadsheet on a local device. My team and I can use the data analysis features, as well as formulas and functions just like we've previously done in excel.

Cons:

Currently, there isn't anything that I dislike about Google Sheets.
