    Hi all,

     

    I want to know the difference between Microsoft Office 2016 and Office Online provided by Microsoft’s Office 365 suite.

     

    Please suggest which one is better?

     

    Thanks,

    Eddie Thwan

    Hi,

    Office 2016 is desktop based application whereas Office Online is cloud based.

    Nowadays people prefer to work on the cloud rather than on-premises.

    It’s up to you which application you would prefer.

    Thanks,
    Barry

    Hello Barry, Thanks for your reply.

    I would like more detail on Office 2016 vs Office Online before I can come to any conclusion.

    What are all parameters that should be considered in order to choose between the two?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    To start with the differentiation between the two.

    MS Office 2016 is the latest edition of Microsoft’s Office productivity suite and it is a desktop-based application. Office Online is the cloud-based version of Office suite. It is provided as a standalone application or as a SaaS which is provided by Office 365. Whatever work you do on Office Online is stored & accessed on the cloud. Therefore, I prefer Office Online over Office 2016 as it allows us to access data from anywhere & at any time.

    There are much more differences between Office 365 and Office 2016.
