2. Sheets
Everyone knows how important spreadsheets are in most offices and lines of work, so, of course, Google has an alternative of its own to one of the most popular software out there – Microsoft Excel. You can create spreadsheets directly in your browser without having to worry about installing any additional software. On top of creating basic tasks, you can also analyze data with charts, add filters and work around tables in a multitude of ways.
What’s great is that, since this is cloud-based, all files are saved online. Therefore, you can continue the work you started on your work computer on your personal tablet. Since teamwork is such an essential part of Google’s business apps, you can also add comments on the go, fire up chats with your coworkers and more.
Basically, you can enjoy people’s input wherever you are, limit the exposure of your workload, allow editing only to certain pages or rows and so on. Furthermore, you can view a full editing history, so you know who added to the spreadsheet, who removed content and more. There’s also the option to choose which teammates can edit the file, who can comment only and who can simply view by editing a list before you even share the link to the spreadsheet.
Google Sheets that ranks second in our list of best Google apps for business, comes with some advanced features to complement the fact that it allows calculations and powerful functions. For instance, it can be used to generate sophisticated charts, to generate table reports and so on.
