Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 365 on trial

Microsoft has released the latest version of its popular productivity suite, Office 2016, along with a cloud-based subscription service, Office 365. In this blog post, we’ll compare and contrast the features, benefits and drawbacks of both options, and help you. decide which is better for your needs.

Office 2016 is the standalone version of the software, which means you pay a one-time fee to install it on a PC or Mac. You get access to the core applications, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, as well as some additional ones, such as OneNote and Publisher. You also get 15 GB of free online storage on OneDrive and the ability to sync your files between devices.

Office 365 is the subscription-based service, which means you pay a monthly or annual fee to use the software on multiple devices. You get access to the same core applications as Office 2016, plus some additional ones, such as Access and Skype. You also get 1 TB of online storage on OneDrive and the ability to share your files and collaborate with others in real time. Plus, you get regular updates and new features as Microsoft releases them.

So which one should you choose? It depends on your preferences and budget. Office 2016 is a good choice if you want to make a one-time purchase and don’t need the latest features or online collaboration. Office 365 is a good option if you want to use the software on multiple devices and always have the most up-to-date version. However, Office 365 also requires an ongoing payment and an Internet connection to access some of the features.

To help you make an informed decision, we’ve conducted a comprehensive test of both Office 2016 and Office 365, covering aspects such as performance, compatibility, security, and usability. Here are some of the highlights of our findings:
