Completely agree with this. Google suite has struggled to gain adoption in my past 3 companies because of a number of little things it doesn't quite get in parity with Office. It's a (rare?) example of when the 80% or even 95% solution isn't enough.
Also, few products are so ingrained in a user's workflow as Office. Many professionals have been using the suite for over a decade(s), so the switching cost is high.
- bridanp 10y agoMy company was to move completely away from Office to Google's suite of products 3 years ago. Except for just the few macro jockeys that required Excel. It's harder to get approval for an Office license now, but most people that had Office 3 years ago, still have it today (except for Outlook, that one is gone). It's really Excel that seems to keep people from moving to Google's product, though. Word and the others aren't that big a problem.
- kosei 10y agoExcel is the biggest one, for sure. I still think there are many who really prefer the features and functionality of PowerPoint and Outlook, though. I haven't seen that be the case for Word, but Word has never really been a significant part of my work flow.
