Apple Numbers is great for organizations who don’t live out of spread sheets. It is a cheaper option than the main competitor Microsoft Excel. So if you don’t want to shell out the extra money and take a little step back on features, Numbers is a great place to be for those companies.

This is the best software for handling office documents during travel. We manage all our office documents from our mobile phones when we travel. We sort out data on spreadsheets, we make client presentations, we create/edit word documents on our mobile phone itself with the help of this software.

  • Unavailability of auto spell-check integration in this app. They should integrate a good program for spelling correction/suggestion.
  • It does not have all the required tools to edit PDF documents.
  • No clarity provided by the developer on the security of my documents on its servers.

Usability
Overall most things on Numbers are intuitive and easy to use. However there are some things that can seem like they are in the wrong place if you are use to or coming from excel. After a bit of a learning curve everything makes sense. If I had no excel experience I would rate Numbers higher.

I have never had much difficulty and use different software, but WPS Office has a very friendly and simplified interface. Those who are already familiar with programs of this type certainly have no difficulty in learning to use it. Best of all, the main tools of the programs provided by the WPS Office are easily accessible.

I would not have anything to do with the support side as my IT department would handle all of that.

Apple Numbers is more aesthetically appealing than Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. I would say, however, that Microsoft Excel seems to have more tools and bells and whistles than Apple Numbers does. In that same vein, however, Apple Numbers has more bells and whistles than Google Sheets. One of the ways I think Apple Numbers eclipses the other two is the fact that I can access the program on my iPhone.

For writing, reading documents in .pdf or another format, and for the cloud storage facility, WPS Office seems amazing to me. It's [more] incredible than the other [software] I have seen or used before [with] my personal or company-related task. Because of [my experience with] WPS Office, I prefer it.

  • Is not intuitive enough for efficiency needed in projects

  • I literally would not be able to do my job without it. But I don't have much to do with ROI.
