People always want to reinvent the spreadsheet with their latest whizzbang solution without a problem. But Excel solves 80% of the common problems so nobody really cares.
- OzCrimson 5y agoYUP! And too often a company claiming to have something better than Excel isn't a direct equivalent. It's a way to market their whizzbang solution. Domo was claiming it could get companies off of spreadsheets. But it turns out that they're an enterprise level reporting system that's a minimum of $30,000. That's not a viable option for a 5-person non-profit, but they'll get swept up in the conversation only to find out later that no, Domo and Excel are not equivalents.
