Kingsoft, headquartered in Beijing with offices in Palo Alto, offers the WPS Office suite, a productivity suite available in a Free edition, and Education edition, a Professional edition, and a Business edition, touting a word processor, spreadsheet app with tables and formulas, and presentation app, as well as total compatibility with Microsoft Office products.
It is quite suitable for daily work in almost any job. Although now there are more advanced tools, found online in the cloud, it is still a good option for daily work. I highly recommend it as it has always been a reliable tool. The problem would be the support since it is a tool that is discontinued.
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.
Consistent functionality across the several Office components. This consistency is a great advantage for adoptions of other unused Office components. For example, if you want to publish a book that you have done with Word, you don't need to relearn new menu positions, new file-related actions, new reviewing procedures, etc.
Functionality extensions with Add-ins. This has always been a nameplate for Microsoft and Office keeps its tradition. I remember the renowned Bill Gates phrase when Visual Basic has been presented to him, he said: "Make it extensible". So, for example, I use Grammarly to improve my translations and there are thousands of Add-ins that you can purchase to increase your productivity.
Continuous improvement of online Office 365 allows for comprehensive usage from any platform, like Apple or Android tablets, Mac or Windows, cell phones and more. Every day and regular user's functions are there. And if you need extensive reviewing capabilities or programming, you can always rely on the desktop version.
Spelling and translate for multiple languages are now included in the online version. I should indeed rely more on the online version.
We believe that office 2016 offers the best value when it comes to features included out of the box. The software is used in its entirety by our organization and is easily supported by our staff of IT technicians. Users find this software to be easy to learn and easy to use with minimal learning curve.
It's fairly easy to use, but the automatic formatting or capturing of formatting when pasting is wonky - especially when there are outlines or other bullets/numbered lists. Fixing and sizing up tables can be annoying, and there are sometimes formatting issues that we just absolutely cannot fix for some reason
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.
Microsoft support is very good, big corporation has people for everything. You can find a lot of solutions to problems and helpful tutorials, as well as ready to be copied macros and functions made by communities around the world. Very big user base means there aren't situations that someone else didn't have already
We have always used Microsoft Office products, beginning with the older versions, but we did try a brief evaluation of OpenOffice from Apache. Even though that open source software is free, it's got certain limitations and a different functionality that was missing from Office2016, so we decided not to pursue that path.
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.
For the user groups that use Office in our organization, they would find it difficult to work without it. Decades of development are hard to just walk away from.
Office products are considered standard. When sharing data, there is almost never a question of "What format would you like that file in"?
For the price of convenience at this time, licensing fees are priced where we don't feel that we are not getting what we paid for.
