Multiple users can edit, comment, and review spreadsheets in real time, making teamwork extremely efficient. The platform is easy to use, and its familiar interface allows users to become productive quickly. I also appreciate the wide range of formula calculation options that support everything from basic arithmetic to advanced data analysis. The built-in templates save time when creating budgets, project trackers, schedules, and reports. Integration with other Google Workspace applications further improves productivity. Considering the features available and the fact that it is accessible from anywhere, it offers excellent value for money. > > **Cons**: One drawback of Google Sheets is that performance can slow down when working with very large datasets or complex formulas. Some advanced spreadsheet features available in dedicated desktop spreadsheet software are either limited or unavailable. Customer support for free users is relatively limited and often relies on community forums and online documentation. While the user interface is generally intuitive, managing extremely large workbooks can sometimes become cumbersome. Occasional formatting inconsistencies may also occur when importing files from other spreadsheet applications. > > My overall experience with Google Sheets has been extremely positive. It has become an essential tool for organizing data, tracking projects, performing calculations, and collaborating with teams. The ability to access spreadsheets from any device and work with others in real time significantly improves productivity. I particularly value the extensive formula library, ready-to-use templates, and integration with the broader Google Workspace ecosystem. Although there are some limitations when handling very large datasets, the ease of use, collaboration features, and overall reliability make Google Sheets one of the best cloud-based spreadsheet solutions available today. ----- ### "Made spreadsheeting enjoyable" — 5.0/5 > **Zal** | *18 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As it's cloud-based, and I have never liked spreadsheets in general, having real-time collaboration and integration has meant I've actually enjoyed learning all the functions and features, and having access to templates makes things easy to get going. Now with the integration of Gemini, it really pushes the ability of the platform. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it struggles a little bit with important XLS files, but overall it does a good job of retaining the formatting, formulas etc. > > I went from disliking spreadsheeting, to enjoying the capabilities of Google Sheets - now making the experience enjoyable, and I'm finding more reasons to open it up for every-day activities and planning. ----- ### "My Dear Database" — 5.0/5 > **Hannah** | *21 January 2025* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a really useful online tool. Makes it easy to keep track of everything and work with clients. > > **Cons**: No real problems so far. Google Sheets does exactly what I need it to. > > Google Sheets has been great. I use it all the time for freelancing. ----- ### "AI Integration Makes Google Sheets More Powerful Than Ever" — 5.0/5 > **Staci** | *20 September 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The integration of Gemini into Google Sheets has significantly enhanced my overall productivity. I particularly appreciate the efficiency with which the platform handles table creation, data aggregation, and chart generation directly within the workspace. The AI capabilities are highly intuitive, streamlining complex tasks that would otherwise require significant manual effort. Furthermore, the ability to generate formulas through simple prompts is a notable advantage, and because our entire team utilizes the Google ecosystem, real-time collaboration is exceptionally seamless. > > **Cons**: While the generative AI features are impressive, there is occasionally a learning curve when it comes to refining the specific prompts needed to get the exact data output I am looking for. I would also love to see deeper integrations for even more complex data analysis across other Workspace apps. I am concerned about the number of repeated idea templates; it made it hard to see all the options when I had to go through so many of the same types. > > Google Sheets has become an indispensable tool for my daily workflow, and the addition of Gemini has elevated it to a new level. It effectively bridges the gap between raw data entry and professional visualization. Being able to leverage AI to automate table organization and chart building allows me to focus on high-level analysis rather than repetitive manual formatting. It is a robust, reliable, and increasingly smart platform that continues to save me a significant amount of time. A lot of repeated templates. Great integration with other apps like Gemini, plus many others. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 530\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/169718/google-sheets?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
