Customer Ratings & Reviews

Much needed for anyone using a computer to work, and still better than Apple or Google alternatives. Still, not a fan of the constant changes in menus and functions from one version to another. And it is expensive for a basic product. The good surprise: MSOutlook in the pack

Alot of most of the same... More modern and clean look.

This has everything I need to do what I need it for.

You know what is. Great product for small businesses!

Sales agent sold us the wrong software for our new laptop. Then we bought the maintenance agreement and had problems there as well. Involved us making several unnescessary trips back and forth to the store. Not a good experience!

The only thing wrong with this purchase was the serial number wasn't activated correctly by best buy. I had to call Microsoft and jump through all of that mess to get it fixed..

If we weren't so unhappy with our July purchase of our Dell computer, I could probably rate this product with a better rating. But we are so extremely unhappy with the new pc, that it is hard to give a better rating.

I ended up having to pay for the use of this app! Buy the 360 Microsoft App it may save you a little money but you will still have to pay for storage of your letters, photos, etc...

The product provides the basic elements needed, but for the price it should allow more than the one device to be used. The digital download process is also cumbersome.

I was looking for some alternative to MS Office 365. This edition is a minimum set of applications for professionals. Look like Office 2013, but has a whooping price 249.99 instead 149.00.

Had used Microsoft Office for several years. This version takes getting used to. Also, am not pleased that i had to buy a version that requires annual subscription to get Publisher.

New computer so needed new operating system. Average. Nothing special. Microsoft tries to get you to purchase annually vs purchasing outright. I choose to purchase outright.

I have an old version that has Publisher. Missing in this version. Apparently they force you to subscribe to 365 to get it. Not happy.

Outlook is useless unless you never want to delete emails from your email server. Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, decided you need a feature to sync emails on your PC with those on your email provider. This 'feature' cannot be disabled. I had to stop using Outlook all together after I ran out of space on my email account. Took me hours to delete them all again. I'm looking for a replacement.

Couldn't transfer this software suite from my old computer so had to buy it again. It works differently than what I had so I"m learning the differences.

Unfortunately MS fails again by forcing users to buy the business addition but not letting users hook in gmail calendar.

So if you have used Microsoft Office at all since Office 2013, there is not going to be a huge difference in terms of aesthetics that you will notice. There's a little bit of gradient to the solid colors and such, but no major change to the look and feel of the software. One thing to really note is that it seems as though Microsoft has been using Office 365 as the testing ground for features of the next perpetual release of Office. Office 2019 appears to contain the features that have been slowly released into Office 365 to this point. On that, however, it will not continue to receive the major functionality releases that will be automatically included with an Office 365 subscription. This remains a standalone package. As to what has changed... There's a few notable differences of Office 2019 over 2016 that users will notice. For Word it is something called Focus mode, which takes out all the distraction of menu bars and scroll bars and such and makes it so the edges are blacked out in the application itself. It is designed to help you work better with fewer things intruding on your vision of your document. In trying it, it feels pretty cool, though being that I use Word mostly for business functionality, someone like myself may find it less important than someone that is trying to use Word creatively and reduce outside distractions. Still a cool feature though. For PowerPoint it appears they've added some more supported formats for media and such, including the addition of SVG files for graphic manipulation. There's also some new transitions (hey, we all love transitions), and the ability to send the presentation to a 4K video. Excel, the one tool I use more than I'd care to admit, has new formulas and new chart options (the new chart options are welcome as it feels like for a while there has been a notable lack of improvement in this area). I dont use OneNote as much as I probably should, however it contains new features for handwriting to text support which I have not had a chance to try yet. All in all it's a worthy upgrade, particularly if you havent been using Office 365, but if you have been, dont buy it separately as it will gain you nothing new.

Needed a product for Apple - other than cost I have no complaints with the product

I only needed office for home and students. I use office to write letters, address envelopes and etc. If I ever learn how Again.

I order at bestbuy.com and receive the key card by mail When I install, it says the code is not activate, need contact merchant to activate. I contacted best buy couple of times, different ream tell me different story. Some said active for me, Some said already actived, some saId need contact Microsoft. I contacted MS they said the codes were not active, need best buy activate in system or give me another code. I still waiting for Best Buy find out what happen
