Pros / Cons
  • Microsoft support through admin center is 10/10, and they quickly provide reply and are eager to jump on a call to resolve an issue if possible (and issues do occur sometimes when you’re a Mac app user of Word, Excel… especially when working on big files or changing organizations when collaborating with externals).
  • I have a spreadsheet shared on the drive which has many graphs, and they do not perform well for synchronization with sheets.

  • Thunderbird is free and allows to manage multiple accounts email, so if you want to save money and use a regularly updated program without problems about licenses/demo/trial etc., you are doing the right choice.
  • Some of the styling is a little bit lacking but I need to be fair and say I've not tried to look for settings to change it
