    Microsoft is still a popular choice in many businesses and workplaces. But for advanced functionality in modern complex datasets, data mapping tools are crucial. Using a spreadsheet offers excellent data warehousing options and recovery. It also has the conditional formatting option that makes customization easy. One can create a spreadsheet to accommodate lots of data. That is one of the main reasons why an Excel sheet is still one of the most preferred data management options. But spreadsheets have many disadvantages too. That is why many entities are shifting to automated data mapping alternatives.

    Spreadsheets lack project management features such as collaboration and time tracking. For better project management, an organization or any other entity needs an alternative to Excel. It should allow one to store and process project data on the same platform. It also becomes possible to collaborate and organize vital project data on the same platform.
