Apple User? Apple Numbers is for you!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Apple Numbers for any type of spreadsheet -- analyzing growth trends, financial reports, and account balances. Because Apple Numbers is apart of Apple's iWork, I can use numbers across my Apple devices seamlessly. I'm very familiar with Excel, but Excel is clunky on Apple's operating systems. I find Apple Numbers to be a more user-friendly software.
Pros

- The simplicity of the layout
- Creating formulas are easy to implement
Cons
- The ability to go live and present a spreadsheet during a meeting in real time
- Make it simpler to add custom fonts to the font packages
Return on Investment
- My clients are in their 20s and 30s. Apple Numbers is a cleaner spreadsheet so it presents my business are being modern to my clients.
- For my clients that don't "speak spreadsheets," Apple Numbers doesn't overwhelm them. The formatting is visually more appealing than alternative spreadsheet software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I've tried to use it as an alternative to Excel when I did not have Excel installed on a certain computer. It was hard to adjust to, and was not as intuitive (perhaps because I am used to Excel). It got the job done, but it was difficult to perform some operations due to my unfamiliarity with it.
Pros
- Functions
- UI
- Pivoting
Cons
- Intuitive Formulas
- Features
- Cell Management
Return on Investment
- Allows baseline management in a crunch
- At least able to open and view datasets
- Is not intuitive enough for efficiency needed in projects
