Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

We use Word and Excel on a daily basis and currently manage an access database that houses some of our client data. Office 2016, despite being discontinued is still a viable option for those who don't want to switch to office 365 and their monthly or yearly billing.

Despite being discontinued, Office 2016 is still a viable option for those who want Microsoft Office, but don't want to pay monthly or yearly for a subscription to Office 365. We have both Office 2016 and 2019 and have found very minimal differences between the two.

Microsoft Office 2016 Standard has been the main office solution in our company for 5 years now. We used to use Microsoft Office 2010 and we made the migration to Microsoft Office 2016 Standard along with the Exchange Server 2016. We have also an on-premise installation of Skype for Business 2015. We used to have the x86 version installed, but a few months ago we migrated to the x64 version. We had to wait for SAP to support x64 version of Office 2016, before we could switch over to x64. We have also tried Office 2019, but the fact that Office 2019 does not support updates over WSUS made us stick with Office 2016 and no longer consider switching over to Office 2019. We have really checked all scenarios that we have and Office 2016 more than covers all our needs. If the Office 2016 support was extended past 2025, we would really see no reason to ever make an upgrade!

Office 2016 is really the best available office suite solution available when it comes to the Windows ecosystem. So all Windows users should be more than covered by it in almost any conceivable scenario. There is really no scenario where Office 2016 would not be the appropriate solution, unless of course one is looking for a free solution! But again, you get what you pay for!

Before recently upgrading to Office 365, I used Office 2016 mostly for email, word processing, and spreadsheet management. Across the organization, it was used for the same, and any additional services needed (PowerPoint, etc.). I create several Excel spreadsheets each week to track and manage data I receive from our customers via their software portals.

I have always found Microsoft Office 2016 to be well suited for all of my professional and personal needs. It is very user-friendly and has maintained a consistent menu and display format from prior versions, making it easy to transition into newer, more updated versions when they become available.

We use Microsoft Office for writing all official documents (Word), for forecasting (Excel), and for presentations (PowerPoint). MS Office does not require much training. As it is an industry-standard, employees are able to use it without the company spending additional resources on training.

Microsoft Office 2016 is perfect for writing official documents, creating presentations, and calculations on data sets. MS Office 2016 is less appropriate to work at the same time as it is not cloud-based.

We upgraded from [Microsoft] Office2013 to Office2016 as part of our natural software upgrade process. [Microsoft] Office2016 is a better product, has some new features, and a better, more polished look overall. We use it for our corporate email, spreadsheets, text documents, creating presentations, etc. Office2016 suite contains all the different software programs we require for our business.

I'd recommend [Microsoft] Office2016 for any business that has more than a couple of users, as the software is very scalable from just a small business to a large enterprise corporation. I don't know of any case where it might not be appropriate, as even home users and students use the software suite as well.

OneNote 2016 is part of the 2016 "suite" & the part that I use the most. Invoices & bank statements that I formerly retained as papers in a file cabinet are now all in the MS cloud. The Lens App for my Android phone is a scanner that automatically sends images to OneNote.

We utilize Office for 90+% of our productivity needs when it comes to software. We use it company wide for documentation, number analytics and presentations. I specifically use it every single day, and most employees do as well.

This software is helpful for organizations of all sizes and technical capabilities. It is scalable on the cloud, and encourages collaboration with teams.

The whole company uses it every day, it is one of our main work tools. We use almost the entire complete office suite, some users only use the basics, but we have other more advanced ones that exploit it to the fullest. It is likely that without this tool our daily work would not be as efficient as it is today.

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.

Microsoft Office 2016 is used by clerical and administrative positions throughout this company. It helps facilitate business communications within our company and with our customers. It's a crucial piece of software that offers many benefits and options to do many tasks. The main products used in the suite are Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

The most well suited applications for our users regarding Microsoft Office 2016 is for more clerical and administrative work. Examples being documentations, reporting, and general office usage. There are several forms that companies and vendors use that require Microsoft Office applications.

Our more hands-on employees don't use these applications for their required duties for their job.

Office 2016 is being used both at the organization level and also the departmental level. It is mainly used by those that cannot/choose not to run a subscription Office product (such as Office 365). This is also used in cases where there are shared computers (such as a kiosk), where the subscription-based Office will not work. It addresses the business problem of having an Office application suite that would be best for the situations mentioned above.

Microsoft Office 2016 is well suited for companies/organizations that want the Office products, and either don't have a need to have a subscription-based product or don't want to pay the ongoing costs for a license subscription. It is less suited for organizations that want an Office product that will get the latest software updates/patches/feature upgrades, as Office 2016 is not geared for that. It is a one-time purchase, and for users to upgrade to the next version, they would have to buy a license for that.
