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. ----- ### "Excel: Use it, Love it." — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *11 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What stood out most about Microsoft Excel is how powerful and flexible it is for organizing data, tracking information, building reports, and analyzing numbers. > > **Cons**: What stood out least about Microsoft Excel is that large or heavily formatted spreadsheets can become slow, cluttered, and difficult to troubleshoot, especially when formulas or links break unexpectedly. > > It is reliable, versatile, and extremely useful for reporting, tracking, reconciliations, budgeting, and data analysis. The flexibility of formulas, tables, and filtering tools makes it valuable for both everyday tasks and detailed financial work. ----- ### "Microsoft Excel Has Been My Go-To Tool for Both My Career and Personal Life" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 July 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a physiotherapist, Microsoft Excel has become an essential part of my daily work. I use it to keep track of my patient records, including new assessments, follow-up appointments, cancellations, and other work-related data. It helps me stay organized and quickly review information whenever I need it. When I moved from India to Canada to prepare for my physiotherapy licensing exam, Excel was also a big part of my study routine. I used it to organize study schedules, track my progress, and make notes, which helped me stay focused throughout my preparation. Now, I also use Excel in my personal life. I have a two-month-old daughter, and I keep a record of her weekly weight, height, milestones, and important appointment notes. Having everything in one place makes it easy to look back and see how much she has grown. I love how simple it is to organize data, use formulas when needed, and create tables that are easy to read. > > **Cons**: The only challenge I have found is that some advanced features and formulas take time to learn. Also, when working with very large spreadsheets on a mobile device, editing can sometimes feel less convenient than on a computer. Other than that, I have had a very positive experience. > > Microsoft Excel has supported me through different stages of my life—from preparing for my physiotherapy career in Canada, to managing my work as a physiotherapist, and now helping me keep precious records of my daughter's growth. It is reliable, easy to use, and incredibly versatile. Whether I'm organizing patient information, planning my work, or tracking personal milestones, Excel helps me stay organized and saves me a lot of time. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable spreadsheet and data management tool. ----- Page: 1 / 780\ 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
