The flexibility of formulas, tables, and filtering tools makes it valuable for both everyday tasks and detailed financial work. ----- ### "Excel: From Day-to-Day to Accounting" — 5.0/5 > **Samm** | *13 April 2026* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excel is an incredibly powerful and flexible tool that allows us to bridge the gap between our Client Management System and true accounting. Our CMS is not designed with accounting in mind therefore there are a lot of inconsistencies however Excel allows us the freedom and flexibility to maintain clear detailed records. The ability to customize and build almost anything makes Excel a must-have in our business. From building reconciliations, trackers and forecasting to then having the ability to analyze that data. Many users in our business who are at a beginner level of Excel enjoy the templates that are available. > > **Cons**: While Excel is paramount to our business, specifically accounting, the largest flaw would be the knowledge dependency. Unfortunately Excel is not always user friendly and therefore requires an advanced user to generate worksheets for others as well as fix them if something is broken or written over. Because of this, there is a higher likelihood of errors for users at a beginner level. The other flaw would be that as data grows, the files do become slow and harder to maintain. > > Overall, Excel is a product that we use in our business day-to-day and in many different capacities. It is fundamental for our accounting but is also important for tracking in other roles. While getting the most use of the functions requires a high level of Excel knowledge, it is still a must-have\! ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Still the best spreadsheet tool" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *16 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a long time user of Excel I can personally say that it is and always has been the best spreadsheet tool for a variety of applications. Whether it be templates, data analysis, pivot tables, flyers or nearly anything else, Excel has the easiest navigation and compatibility for desktop and mobile users. > > **Cons**: Subscription pricing is a big let let down. Unless you get some kind of promotional deal the value for the cost may drive you to a competitor that allows you to own your copy of the software. For bugs and other issues, Microsoft's support fall a bit short. The open community is far more helpful. > > Microsoft still offers the most feature rich and stable spreadsheet tool on the market. If they could return to allowing their customers to simply purchase software they could recapture a dwindling market share. ----- Page: 1 / 780\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/176574/excel?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/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
