Naveen Gabrani Founder/CEO Chose Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued) Microsoft Office is more powerful than all its competitors. It is also perhaps most expensive.

User Testimonials
	Deltek WorkBook	Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	For project companies with management needs and normally companies with more than 5-10 employees. For all project companies within marketing, architecture, audit, it supports, engineers and other professional services Incentivized Frants E. Moraitis Co Founder Read full review	It is quite suitable for daily work in almost any job. Although now there are more advanced tools, found online in the cloud, it is still a good option for daily work. I highly recommend it as it has always been a reliable tool. The problem would be the support since it is a tool that is discontinued. Incentivized HO Hector Ochoa Network Engineer Read full review
Pros	You have a lot of business critical features in one application. You can work in projects and register hours. Incentivized Christopher Fritz Head of Global IT Read full review	Consistent functionality across the several Office components. This consistency is a great advantage for adoptions of other unused Office components. For example, if you want to publish a book that you have done with Word, you don't need to relearn new menu positions, new file-related actions, new reviewing procedures, etc. Functionality extensions with Add-ins. This has always been a nameplate for Microsoft and Office keeps its tradition. I remember the renowned Bill Gates phrase when Visual Basic has been presented to him, he said: "Make it extensible". So, for example, I use Grammarly to improve my translations and there are thousands of Add-ins that you can purchase to increase your productivity. Continuous improvement of online Office 365 allows for comprehensive usage from any platform, like Apple or Android tablets, Mac or Windows, cell phones and more. Every day and regular user's functions are there. And if you need extensive reviewing capabilities or programming, you can always rely on the desktop version. Spelling and translate for multiple languages are now included in the online version. I should indeed rely more on the online version. Incentivized Ricardo G Lopes English Interpreter & Translator Read full review
Cons	Lot of options - Demands training of the users before they can use if fully Incentivized Frants E. Moraitis Co Founder Read full review	Office 2016 professional edition can be priced for a single user license, it would be nice to see a drop in the pricing. Office 2016 home edition is a better price but does not include outlook 2016, so it is not a good fit for the workplace environments. Office 2016 can run slowly on older systems, so you need to make sure you have a machine that is 4 years old or less for it to run smoothly. Incentivized Andrew Shannon Senior System Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We believe that office 2016 offers the best value when it comes to features included out of the box. The software is used in its entirety by our organization and is easily supported by our staff of IT technicians. Users find this software to be easy to learn and easy to use with minimal learning curve. Incentivized Lochan Kalicharan Freelance Photographer Read full review
Usability	Gets the job done, just not the sexiest. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's fairly easy to use, but the automatic formatting or capturing of formatting when pasting is wonky - especially when there are outlines or other bullets/numbered lists. Fixing and sizing up tables can be annoying, and there are sometimes formatting issues that we just absolutely cannot fix for some reason Incentivized Michael Kim Contracts Specialist Read full review
Support Rating	Great implementation support, but haven't had many questions since. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Microsoft support is very good, big corporation has people for everything. You can find a lot of solutions to problems and helpful tutorials, as well as ready to be copied macros and functions made by communities around the world. Very big user base means there aren't situations that someone else didn't have already Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	I have no knowledge of competing software with the same options. Incentivized Christopher Fritz Head of Global IT Read full review	We have always used Microsoft Office products, beginning with the older versions, but we did try a brief evaluation of OpenOffice from Apache. Even though that open source software is free, it's got certain limitations and a different functionality that was missing from Office2016, so we decided not to pursue that path. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Better understanding of financial performance Job profitability tracking Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	For the user groups that use Office in our organization, they would find it difficult to work without it. Decades of development are hard to just walk away from. Office products are considered standard. When sharing data, there is almost never a question of "What format would you like that file in"? For the price of convenience at this time, licensing fees are priced where we don't feel that we are not getting what we paid for.
