14 DAY TRIAL // A few days ago, Microsoft launched a new attack against Google Docs, calling it a productivity suite that provides a suboptimal experience to users and recommended everyone to at least give a shot to Office Online.
The company also published a video showing the two products in action and emphasizing that its very own Office is clearly superior to Google Docs, not only thanks to the familiar interface, but also because of the way it manages your content.
“If someone on your team moves the file to Google Drive and opens it to make changes, you no longer experience that familiar Office look and the formatting is a mess, will likely be recreating the formatting and making sure no content was lost,” the company said in the original anti-Google Docs article published during the weekend.
“Why settle for a suboptimal experience using Google Docs, Sheets and Slides when Office provides you the best experience available with the modern Office experience on PC and iPad already.”
Just like Google Docs, Office Online is available free of charge and can be accessed with a Microsoft account using any modern browser out there. It provides the familiar Office look, as well as plenty of helpful utilities, including the well known Office and Excel apps.
