    Very easy to use and has a familiar interface. It’s much better than LibreOffice for both compatibility with MS Excel and its overall design. All of the formulas that I use in MS Excel work in ONLYOFFICE.

    Nice alternative. Polished, lightweight, and fast, but not exactly suited for creating and/or maintaining complex spreadsheets. Works nicely if the heavy lifting is done outside (using something like KNIME). Very well documented (PDF and HTML). Has nothing like PowerQuery and PowerPivot.

    Extremely quick software, very fast start-up times, very good responsiveness, high compatibility to to Excel, indeed much higher than Calc. And additionally it is priced very reasonably!
