UI / UX - less cluttered simply does its job in minimizing distractions. I particularly like Numbers and Keynote being integral in my way of work life as files are seamlessly integrated into 1 workspace / ecosystem across all Apple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

Numbers - coming from a heavy user of Google Spreadsheet and Excel, it does take time to learn the functions, additionally some formulas can be difficult to compose in Numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iWork?

I use pages for writing scripts for my new movie, is one of the best content in iWork better than Celtx for this type of work.

The ease of use allows me to set the writing sheets exactly as I need them, with side notes regarding the shots and the actions to be performed by the characters.

also, for a copyright issue, you can insert a watermark with your own production company logo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iWork?

The main thing iWork has going for it is that I can be sure that every machine in our office has a working copy of the iWork software suite. This has been a problem with using Microsoft Office products, with all users not on the same version of the software or not having it at due limited licenses. Using Keynote has been great to generate templates for presentations, being able to bring slides in and out to quickly create a PDF that looks great for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

I do not like how the software is not flexible with the version number. Every OS seems to come with it's own version of the software, which causes some incompatibility when opening documents on older machines in the office that cannot upgrade due to OS limitations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iWork:

It can be a challenge to get people to switch from Microsoft Office, but know that you can always export documents from Pages to Word if necessary. The only other alternative is to use Google Docs if you can manage to get your entire team on the software with G Suite Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

iWork has solved the problem of making a modular document for presentations that can easily be customized. No longe are we creating things multiple times when we can combine pre-built slides and reorder them as necessary. It was a creative way to use keynote that I did not think about until it was shown to me by a co-worker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iWork?

The products are intuitive because they are similar to Microsoft Office enough without being the exact same thing. What I like is they are more user-friendly, especially on touch screen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iWork?

They are similar to Microsoft Office products, so it would be nice in future to see them evolve into a different look/style that is all their own. I understand that they are that way to help people convert over (ie not be afraid of a new Excel haha) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iWork:

Works great, don't expect Office (word/excel/ppt) or you will be dissatisfied, you need to relearn some things which can take time but its great to use. Also the preferred option for shared documents or using a touch screen etc vs office Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is iWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Use them for general sales and marketing documents in my current job, spreadsheets for a variety of data tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
