Microsoft 365 vs Office 2016
Lots of people like the regular Office because when you buy it, it’s yours to use forever. But with Office 365, you’re basically renting it from Microsoft. So, if Microsoft stops Office 365 or goes out of business, you won’t be able to use your Office apps.
One-Time Purchase: Unlike subscription-based services like Microsoft 365, traditional Microsoft Office requires a one-time upfront payment, allowing you to use the software indefinitely
Data privacy & Familiarity
With traditional Microsoft Office, your data stays on your device as it doesn’t require cloud connectivity.
Traditional Microsoft Office provides a familiar experience with a low learning curve. If you’ve used recent versions of Office, you’ll find it comfortingly familiar.
Cost-Effective
