Microsoft Office 2019

Perpetual Office license. Enhanced graphics features, better support for digital pencils, morphing transitions in PowerPoint. Funnel charts and improved pivot tables in Excel. New view options in Word for concentrating on text.

Not cheap unless you get it through a corporate or educational site license. No access to new features that will continue to be added to Office 365. No real-time coauthoring as in Office 365.

Bottom Line: Microsoft Office remains the most powerful and flexible office suite money can buy, and the locally installed software version trumps even Microsoft's own Office 365 when it comes to stability and its one-time purchase model.
