Review Google Sheets?
Reviewers see Google Sheets as a strong choice for shared, everyday spreadsheet work: real-time collaboration, easy sharing, familiar formulas, and smooth use with other Google tools come up repeatedly. Users say it is versatile and especially useful for teams, small businesses, and practical workflows like annotation or working with BigQuery data. A few reviewers note limits for more complex work, saying Excel still offers more advanced functionality. Some founders also chose it because teams already know it, making organization, automation, and handoffs easier.

Formesign runs on top of Google Forms, and Sheets is where every form response already goes. So this was never a spreadsheet bake-off for us. Sheets is the destination our customers were already using before they found us.
A safety manager collecting inspection forms does not want to learn a new analytics tool. They already know how to search, filter, and write a formula in Sheets. When an auditor asks for March inspections, they filter the sheet and share it, using skills they already have. Every submission lands there automatically, in the customer's own account, so the data is theirs and stays theirs if they ever leave us.
Google Sheets has been our go-to for data analysis and collaboration -- even better now that you easily edit two tabs at once with Google Docs Splitview!

A robust spreadsheet application that rivals Microsoft Excel. It offers real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on the same sheet without disruption. While it lacks some advanced features compared to Excel, its convenience and sharing tools make it an excellent choice for individuals and small businesses. Plus, it’s free to use!

Good for simple needs, but still not sure why so popular. More flexibility and functions with Excel (especially VBA), but both have some issues. Everyday use, great, more complex use, not as good.
