Aside from that, I really like how many customizable templates are available in Pages. Our team regularly uses these templates as the starting point for many of our document projects. > > **Cons**: If I had to nitpick and pick the things I least like about Pages it would be its overall lack of features and basic sharing/collaboration tools. Since pages is free, its suite of tools and features is a bit limited compared to some of its competitors like MS Word and Google Docs. I do feel that Google Docs offers a better real-time collaboration experience overall. > > All in all, our team is very happy with the performance of Pages and have used it regularly as part of our workflow. While it lacks some of the flexibility competitors like Google Docs and MS Word have, it is extremely convenient, easy to use, and readily available on all of our Apple products. ----- ### "Once again Apple is the best, buy it once and keep it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jimmy** | *10 December 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: You buy it one time and can always upgrade unlike everyone else who wants you to always subscribe. It is very easy to use and the best of the best. > > **Cons**: I wish there where more templates, even if they where an extra purchase or something. > > I have used Pages for well over 10 years and have no reason to use anything else. Apple products are the best period. ----- ### "Pages Review" — 5.0/5 > **Joy** | *30 June 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love to use Pages for manipulating pictures and for making graphs and charts. I find that it is much easier than Microsoft Word for these two jobs. > > **Cons**: Since Microsoft Word is more widely used, I use it for word processing documents and those that I plan to share with others. However, I often create my charts in Pages, and then transfer them to Word as picture files because it is so much easier to create charts in Pages. ----- ### "Great software that rivals the costly & unnecessary Microsoft" — 5.0/5 > **Malcolm Reto Vincent** | *12 June 2021* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How easy it is to use, the great templates, the overall product design (with the vibrant colours and informational icons) and the fact that it is free\! > > **Cons**: Might need some more functionality, although I have never really needed any other softwares that Apple doesn't offer for free to its clients\! > > Great\! Got used to it very quickly and I could never go back to Microsoft. After using pages for years, Microsoft seems like a stone-age software (and an expensive one at that\!) ----- ### "Pages is a viable alternative to Word or Google Docs." — 5.0/5 > **Alec** | *18 February 2022* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I work as a Lawyer and was initially very hesitant to use Pages, I had no reason to be cautious\! Pages has a different menu layout and doesn't seem to copy over anything from Microsoft Word. Having said that, it's very user intuitive and I found myself accessing complex features easily and quickly. I feel confident in my writing reports all day, creating and saving templates, inserting media if required and everything else a solid word processor needs. Finally, because it's Apple, the application runs quickly and seamlessly. This isn't to mention the benefits from using Apple products and services as far as the ecosystem is concerned. > > **Cons**: I originally thought the lack of features would prohibit me from properly using Pages. The reality is all the necessary functionality is there with few exceptions. > > I use Pages for routine correspondence, creating legal briefs, writing reports and formalising research from my note taking application. Additionally, I use Pages to open Word documents sent to me by other lawyers and I have never experienced any issue in terms of formatting. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/221962/pages?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/221962/pages) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
