It's just one of the most flexible tools in my app toolbox. ----- ### "Undisputed industry standard, but requires mastery to unlock its full potential" — 5.0/5 > **Sergi** | *25 March 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: From simple data entry to complex financial modeling, Power Query, and VBA, nothing else comes close to the power of Excel. Features like Pivot Tables and XLOOKUP make slicing and dicing data incredibly efficient. Because it is almost always bundled with Microsoft 365, the value is exceptionally high. You get an enterprise-grade analytical tool included in your standard tech stack. Everyone uses it. You never have to worry about whether a vendor or client will be able to open an .xlsx file, making cross-organizational collaboration the default. > > **Cons**: While powerful, there is a breaking point. If you load a workbook with too many volatile formulas, complex formatting, or hundreds of thousands of rows, it can become sluggish, freeze, or crash entirely. > > My overall experience with Microsoft Excel is positive, simply because it is the absolute backbone of modern business operations. It is the ultimate digital Swiss Army knife. You can use it for quick, ad-hoc lists, or you can build fully automated, complex reporting dashboards. ----- ### "Sometimes a nightmare." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 March 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excel lets me go from messy notes to complex, automated models without forcing a structure on me. That instant feedback loop is addictive. > > **Cons**: It is very easy to make mistakes, such as typing over a formula, mistyping data, or having broken links. > > Excel is such a classic. It’s the one tool I can’t live without for keeping my life in order, but man, it can be a nightmare when one tiny formula ruins your entire afternoon. It honestly feels like a superpower once you get the hang of it, but there are definitely days where I feel like I need a PhD just to get a simple chart looking right. ----- ### "Excel my favorite spreadsheet tool" — 5.0/5 > **George** | *12 February 2026* | Graphic Design Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the fact that it has a beautiful templates. Microsoft excel is so easy to navigate. I love its beautiful user interface. They have an amazing customer service team. I like the availability of offline access. > > **Cons**: I don’t like as it requires purchasing subscription in order to use some features even though it is not too expensive. I also hate the issue of bugs. > > What an amazing spreadsheet tool Excel is an excellent spreadsheet tool because it works well for me. I like a lot of its incredible features which are find time saving and efficient. Though they should work on fixing bugs. ----- ### "A perfect start for data analysis" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 March 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visually, a classic way of working with data. Easy to pick up, used in most industries and cheap. The pivot table function is probably my most used feature as it allows us to cross examine data easily. > > **Cons**: Some of the datasets I work with are very big, and Excel often crashes when large tasks are performed. I wouldn't use excel to work with giant datasets, at least not on my current laptop. > > Great, I've been using this for 10+ years without too many complaints. For quick analysis of data, it's a no-brainer. ----- Page: 1 / 778\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/91381/excel?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/91381/excel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
