    Which is the best office set up according to you?
    There are numerous office setups available in the market like WPS office, Libre, Microsoft office.com to name a few. But in my opinion, the popularity and feasibility of Microsoft office in comparison to others are remarkable. It offers a complete package of products and services that are required in an enterprise and their products are way easy to use. The only thing is its cost. It costs comparatively more than the other available options but then its features take full control and the cost seems nothing in front. Its latest version Office 2019 is getting popular day by day but on the other hand Office 365, a cloud-based version is still holding the command over others.
