Office 365 web versions vs local install
We currently are using Office 365 for all our email and office applications. We have Outlook, Word, Excel, etc all installed locally on our in-house server for our users. Is there any benefit or cons to having our users use Office 365 web versions versus the local installation?
The web apps are limited in functionality, if you want details see for example this article (and the corresponding ones for other products): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/differences-between-using-a-workbook-in-the-browser-and-in-excel-f0dc28ed-b85d-4e1d-be6d-5878005db3b6
They're "cheaper" though, depending on the SKUs you have, and are available anywhere, anytime.
