why office 365 vs google docs?

There are many reasons really, but the most important one is that we're a .NET shop, and run our stack on top of Azure. Office 365 integrates well with Azure and everything MS. AD and Exchange management, SSO, MSDN, etc.. It all just works.
not op but office365 includes desktop versions of word, excel, outlook, etc and they are faster and have more features.
Not all license types include the desktop apps. Lower-tier licenses are web-only.
Pretty sure Web only became totally free a couple years ago. All paid version include desktop version too.
Excel is still superior to Google Sheets.
In many ways comically so, even over the Mac version of excel which is arguably worse than the Windows version.
