Especially considering sheets is free, it suits use on tablets and phones well, where you only require basic functions > > **Cons**: The features are quite limited which can be annoying, I'm assuming this stems from the fact the software is free > > Overall it is a good substitute for excel although I would say my use is limited to basic tasks owing to it's limitations ----- ### "Google Sheets Can Do It All" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *18 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Sheets, both free and paid, is one of my favorite new pieces of software in the last few years. It has allowed us to collaborate on important documents even faster than before, with real-time changes being made as we go. It couldn't be easier to use, and the user interface is nearly perfect. I have documents with complex formulas set-up, so all I, or my coworkers, need to do is plug in a handful of numbers, and we'll get much more data back as a result. We even use it for simple collaboration projects, such as catalog editing. Google Sheets is worth every cent. > > **Cons**: Google Sheets is lacking a few features that Microsoft Excel has, so occasionally we will have to export to Excel, make a few changes, and re-import the file to Sheets. Customer support is also somewhat slow, and sometimes unable to offer solutions. > > I use Google Sheets to collaborate with other offices, allowing for easier editing of critical and time-sensitive projects. We have created our own templates for a few things, the main template being our product catalog, which we also use to help keep prices accurate and match across offices/companies. ----- ### "User friendly and effective but poor chart design capabilities" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google sheets is very user friendly. Anyone can pick it up and find where things are enough to accomplish what they are trying to do. Connections to things like apps script is helpful when needing to do complicated things. Formulas such as ArrayFormula are incredibly helpful as well. > > **Cons**: Working with charts in sheets is difficult. You can't sort your data a certain way, you can't format each data point easily, and you have to do through custom formulas in conditional formatting to highlight duplicate values. If you need it sorted and formatted in individual colors, the colors change when the order changes. Charts are the biggest issue with Sheets. > > Overall, it is user friendly and gives you a lot of value for free or with a low cost of Google Workspace. ----- ### "Google Sheets" — 3.0/5 > **Void** | *1 July 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are lots of great customization options, automated setup, and a large variety of ways to store and showcase data. > > **Cons**: The mobile app is basically useless due to the fact that data doesn't display correctly within the intended cels - it will instead overlap with cell borders. This makes the entire spreadsheet format unusable > > Overall my experience has been good, but between the mobile issue and the fact that some formatting is only done automatically and can't be manually adjusted, the program isn't what I would like it to be ----- Page: 1 / 528\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/169718/google-sheets?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/169718/google-sheets) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
