iWork is fairly complete and does a great job on the usual tasks related to creating presentation, worksheets and documents. Its major drawback is the lack of interoperability in non-Apple systems.

WPS Office
Chose WPS Office
I like WPS office most because it helps me more than the other software. I can easily access the software and do my work. I can design my documents by using the software. Some features of the software are amazing to compare to others. Amazing tools, design parts of the …
Chose WPS Office

Chose WPS Office
We did not use any other software similar to WPS Office. But the kind of experience I get from this app is unmatchable.
Chose WPS Office
It is on par with that but the Microsoft brand is impeccable. Apart from that I love both products. WPS Office is also a little generous to provide a free version to its users. That's what as a student attracted me to WPS Office 2 years back for the first time.
Chose WPS Office
I selected WPS Office over google mainly because of its easy to use format and to give access to my clients for the data. Also you can use WPS Office for free as upgrading is not mandatory. Google has a fee.
Chose WPS Office

Likelihood to Recommend
iWork is suited for those in the Apple ecosystem. It is specially recommended for those who are already familiar with Apple apps. If cross-platform interoperability is needed, I use iWork + Google products. Usually I build the docs in iWork and present using Google products on the PC, when no Mac or iPad is available.

This is the best software for handling office documents during travel. We manage all our office documents from our mobile phones when we travel. We sort out data on spreadsheets, we make client presentations, we create/edit word documents on our mobile phone itself with the help of this software.

  • Unavailability of auto spell-check integration in this app. They should integrate a good program for spelling correction/suggestion.
  • It does not have all the required tools to edit PDF documents.
  • No clarity provided by the developer on the security of my documents on its servers.

I have never had much difficulty and use different software, but WPS Office has a very friendly and simplified interface. Those who are already familiar with programs of this type certainly have no difficulty in learning to use it. Best of all, the main tools of the programs provided by the WPS Office are easily accessible.

I would not have anything to do with the support side as my IT department would handle all of that.
