### 5/5
Frequent user, retail, 300-1000 employees, over 2 years of use
**Title:**
> A suite I've relied on for years !
> I've been using Microsoft Office for as long as I can remember, and switching has never really been a serious option — not because I haven't tried, but because nothing else comes close in terms of raw efficiency and familiarity.
>
> The big problem: collaboration.
>
> This is where Office falls short, and it's a real frustration. The suite was not built for real-time collaboration, and it shows. Working on a presentation with multiple people simultaneously is painful. Google's approach — everything live, in the browser, always synced — exposes how behind Microsoft still is on this front, despite efforts with OneDrive and the online versions.
**Liked:**
> Unmatched depth and power, especially PowerPoint and Excel
> Universal adoption in professional environments — no learning curve for anyone
> Best-in-class formatting and presentation capabilities
> Industry standard, which makes sharing and exchanging files seamless
**Missing:**
> Real-time collaboration is still clunky and far behind Google Workspace
> The online versions are a pale imitation of the desktop apps
> Switching costs are high — not because the tool is great, but because the whole world is already on it
> Word is losing ground to Google Docs for everyday collaborative work
