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. ----- ### "Amazing for Organization" — 5.0/5 > **Octavia** | *8 July 2026* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Excel is an excellent platform for anyone who needs to make spreadsheets — whether for company organization, client information, banking, etc. It is incredibly easy to get the hang of basic functions. Microsoft customer support can be difficult to reach at times, but has been exceptional to work with each time I have ended up needing their help (and many things you’d usually need customer support for can be done on their website). Good value for money especially when bundled with other microsoft products. > > **Cons**: It can be difficult to remember more difficult functions beyond what is obvious (like sum, divide, etc) and there is not much in the program that can assist you in better understanding its capabilities. ----- ### "Excel - not perfect, but still better than Numbers" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *16 July 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excel is really powerful. It's my go to for anything involving numbers or data analysis. Formulas and pivot tables are killer for slicing and dicing data. Conditional formatting and charts make it easy to spot trends at a glance. And you can automate practically anything. > > **Cons**: Excel is definitely not winning any usability awards in 2026 and if you're not a total spreadsheet geek like me, the UI is straight out of the stone age, and some of the more advanced features are buried in the clunky menus. Collabing on complex sheets can be a major headache too if you're not careful with the sharing settings, plus it's often overkill for simple stuff like basic lists or tables. > > At the end of the day, Excel is still the king of the spreadsheet world, while it's got its quirks and rough edges, when it comes to heavy duty number and data crunching, nothing else comes close. I've used it for everything from simple budgets to really complex data analysis projects, and it's never let me down. ----- Page: 1 / 781\ 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
