Great for statistical analysis, creating diagrams and analysing data > > **Cons**: It can be confusing to try and do some of the equations to make calculations between columns. If you make a mistake it can change all of the data > > Overall really great I have used it for years and it is the best product for doing data analysis, creating graphs and handling large amounts of data. Great for preparing datasets to use in other software like csv and txt files ----- ### "Excel" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 April 2019* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is the facto standard of creating and editing spreadsheets. It is actively development and new features are added. My favourite one is the translation feature. > > **Cons**: Some features are better in the products of competitors. Take translation – it is handy to use it in MS Excel, but quality of translation could be a bit better. > > Standard way of editing spreadsheets. ----- ### "Good product, needs updates" — 3.0/5 > **Aaron** | *27 March 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excel is a program that I am familiar with and is easy to use, this is mostly due to it's longevity within the data world. I really appreciate how easy the navigation bars are to use. They are laid out in categories that make sense. > > **Cons**: I feel Excel has not changed much or added actual product enhancements for a while. This has made it hard for Excel to keep up with other products like sheets. ----- ### "Excel is the backbone of our team's efficiency" — 5.0/5 > **Tyler** | *6 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excel is universal at this point, but in my view, for good reason. It is powerful and information on how to improve usability and your personal skills is readily available. From dashboards to simple and complex data analysis, our team lives and dies by our ability to operate and manage within Excel. Additionally, it is cost effective. Finally, as opposed to tools like Sheets, we really like the user interface finding it simple to navigate its various features. > > **Cons**: Most of what I don't like about Excel could likely be remedied by improving my own skill base. That being said, I wish the pivot table functionality could lean better on AI like some other competitors are able to do. Of possibly if there was a way that AI could assist in creating, analyzing or improving formulas. > > Overall our experience is good. We depend on Excel for a variety of functions and most outside tools that we use are required to interface well with Excel. ----- Page: 1 / 779\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/176574/excel?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/176574/excel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
