Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued) Pricing

“The price isn't worth the value. … We are constantly battling with Microsoft to maintain a "Non-Profit" status which allows us to purchase multiple licenses at a lower cost.”

“The company already had an enterprise license with Microsoft for the Office Suite, and we were able to get a license and installation of our product by using our company email address.”

“Office 2016 professional edition can be priced for a single user license, it would be nice to see a drop in the pricing. … Office 2016 has had a negative impact on our ROI because of the high price of the software, it is not as good an investment for our lower-level employees who do not use it very often.”

“For the price, I am sure you could manage to add a simple design and photo editing program to the package that adds value to your customers and meets the needs of social media users.”

“Office 2016 was sold for a one time, up front fee, on the other hand, Microsoft Office 365 is the new way Microsoft wants you to buy Office, you pay a monthly or yearly fee and get access to its...”

“However, it's not inexpensive, so, for folks who generally only use the basic features, getting a less expensive, or even free, option might make more sense.”

“Despite being discontinued, Office 2016 is still a viable option for those who want Microsoft Office, but don't want to pay monthly or yearly for a subscription to Office 365. … Cost per computer vs cost per user.”

“Subscription/License levels means not all applications in suite are available to all. … Initial cost-prohibitive - (-ve), ROI - (+ve).”

“It's cost-effective, particularly with an Office 365 subscription.”

“The amount of work you can do using Microsoft Office 2016 is well worth its price.”

“The hosted option with Microsoft is a good ROI since it provides an affordable monthly option.”
