"The only sheet you need"
18 December 2025
New
Using Google Sheets in comparison with Microsoft Word is such a breeze. The UI is intuitive, it's easy to apply formulas, it's easy to use data formatting, and the templates were great. And now with the use of Gemini AI, it just makes easier.
Pros:
Very easy to use. You can directly access it from the web. You can access it from anywhere. User interface is very intuitive, and it makes collaboration smooth. There are many templates available that you can directly make use of.
Cons:
This variant YouTube lacks feature capabilities of Microsoft Excel. Google Sheets also has performance issues. Sometimes it freezes and slows down as workloads become large or complex.

"Excel Stripped Slightly But Quicker"
20 December 2025
New
Generally this is the go-to tool for our organization when there's any numerical problem at hand, whether it's logistics or finance. It's never created more problems than it has solved.
Pros:
Google sheets allows us to do everything from building budget projections and forecasts, to handling scheduling and logistics for our programming. There are an increasing number of good templates with interactive functionality that typically you would need something like Air Table to get in the past. As an international organization, formulas that connect to real-time currency conversion are extremely helpful to us. The collaboration is strong with an intuitive way of seeing comments, which is a pain point for other spreadsheet services.
Cons:
At times, pages with a lot of calculations can load more slowly. Compared to installed solutions, it can sometimes be harder to reference other data sets as connections.

"Google Sheets"
1 July 2025
Overall my experience has been good, but between the mobile issue and the fact that some formatting is only done automatically and can't be manually adjusted, the program isn't what I would like it to be
Pros:
There are lots of great customization options, automated setup, and a large variety of ways to store and showcase data.
Cons:
The mobile app is basically useless due to the fact that data doesn't display correctly within the intended cels - it will instead overlap with cell borders. This makes the entire spreadsheet format unusable

"fantastic tool"
6 November 2025
Fantastic tool. We use it for so many applications; for keeping an eye on accounts, creating check lists, rotas etc.
Pros:
A superb tool for data bases, records, diaries etc. very easy to use and absolutely free so great value for money saves automatically in Google drive so can be shared with colleagues for collaboration. formulars are easy to set up with commonly used formular available in a drop down menu. Just as versitile as other branded versions of the software. you can draw from other google sheets and documets too which makes life so much easier.
Cons:
Functionaility is great, It'd be great if you could password some sheets to be locked from sight. so you can share a file amongst collegues but only allow each member to see a dedicated sheet.

"simple, collaborative and an overall reliable spreadsheet tool"
11 January 2026
New
Overall, its a great tool to use for most datasets. It's reliable and allows you see timed updates, so it's great for data tracking and other collaborative projects. While it may not replace other advances data analysis tools it can accomplish a lot of tasks efficiently.
Pros:
Google sheets is very easy to use, the interface is clear, it allows for collaboration. Its ideal for team projects and has useful functions to calculate/graph trends or outputs. The integration with other google tools also make it efficient and it's accessible from all devices. Best part is that it's free, but you do have to upgrade for more storage.
Cons:
For very large datasets or advanced analysis its a little limited compared to others (like Excel). Working offline is available but it's not as smooth as working online. Furthermore, customer service is also very hard to reach like most google platforms.
