Features like formula calculations make simple to complex budgeting data analysis smooth. It's interface is user friendly even for beginners. It also offers real time collaboration which allows number of people to work on same work sheet at the same time without any hassle. > > **Cons**: The built in templates are not worth the hype as per my personal experience can be better with wide usage. Also the customer support fail provide the needed assistance with complex issues. > > All in all my experience with Google Sheets is quit positive for both my personal and professional work. Although some improvements may provide a better user experience like advanced usage of templates and better support responses. ----- ### "My prefered spreadsheet program" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *August 16, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Collaboration is what it does better than anything else. Several people can work in the same sheet at once, see each other's cursors, and leave comments, with no version conflicts and no emailing files back and forth. Sharing is a link and a permission setting, and the full revision history means you can always see who changed what and roll it back. It's free, runs in a browser on any machine, and autosaves constantly so nothing is ever lost. The formula set covers the vast majority of real work, and functions like IMPORTRANGE, QUERY, and GOOGLE FINANCE do things desktop spreadsheets can't. Google Forms feeds straight into it, Apps Script handles automation, and it connects easily to other tools. > > **Cons**: It slows down on large datasets. Once you're past tens of thousands of rows with heavy formulas, recalculation lags and the browser starts to struggle in a way a desktop spreadsheet wouldn't. > > Google Sheets is where most of my day-to-day data work happens, mainly because getting someone else into a spreadsheet takes one link and no explanation. That single advantage changes how a team works — shared trackers, budgets, and planning docs stay current because everyone edits the same live copy instead of trading attachments. ----- ### "Best tool for small-medium data chunk works" — 5.0/5 > **Parsa** | *June 16, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to work through for small to medium chunks of data. Visually pleasing and efficient without unnecessary complications. Been using it for collaboration with team members, sharing data, creating templates of pivots and many more. > > **Cons**: The only constrain which is sort of the week spot of this product vs. Excel is the limitation of data amount. It tends to go in "not responding" mode so easily when data volume increases. > > Very useful for day to day non-extreme volume of data. Practical sharing, templatizing and data viewing. ----- ### "Google Sheets review" — 5.0/5 > **Colin** | *March 12, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seems like a carbon copy of Microsoft Excel. Compatible forumlas and document formats with excel are a nice perk\! > > **Cons**: Generally works better online. Not as effective when using offline. Less efficient with large data sets than excel but not an issue for me - I don’t use big sheets often > > Generally I have a very good experience with Google Sheets. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to excel ----- ### "“A Versatile and Collaborative Tool for Everyday Data" — 5.0/5 > **Yugma** | *May 21, 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Sheets is highly flexible and easy to use for organizing and analyzing data. In my role as an assay development and integration technician at Vital Bio, I frequently use it to track experiments, manage data, and collaborate with team me > > **Cons**: While Google Sheets is great for most tasks, it can become slow or less responsive when handling very large datasets or complex calculations > > Overall, my experience with Google Sheets has been very positive. It is a reliable and efficient tool for data tracking, analysis, and collaboration. It helps streamline workflows and improves team coordination, especially when working on shared datasets. ----- Page: 1 / 530\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/169718/google-sheets?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
