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 ----- ### "Best Work Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *14 January 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excel can be used for literally everything in terms of presenting information to bosses or even customers. > > **Cons**: There is still one thing that I wish Excel had and that is to be able to increase the digit in a box by pressing a button and not necessarily the new digit > > I use Excel on a daily basis and it is great for everything i need, usually there are engineering trial results and i know my data is safe ----- ### "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. ----- ### "It just makes sense." — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *13 February 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that is just makes sense. I use it everyday in work and have not found it's apple alternative ' numbers' anywhere near as user friendly. It is part of the Microsoft 365 package and due to that is inexpensive. Although I have used a m0bile version and had no issue with it, I tend to use it on the computer due to the larger screen size. There has never been any issue a short youtube video has not helped me overcome. As I mentioned, it just makes sense. > > **Cons**: Having had to use the alternative (numbers) for a time I honestly cannot quibble. I would say the one minor gripe is that if I have an excel doc open and open another it sometimes replaces my already opened doc instead of opening two? I have figured out the way around this and it may be a limitation of the hardware I use as opposed to Excel itself. > > Having used it for equations, tables, databases etc I would struggle to use an alternative. I can think of three completely separate things that I use this program for everyday. I do not believe I could do that with another program. ----- Page: 1 / 777\ 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
