T Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/8/2021 "Use only if other options not available" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Pages? Pages provides a platform where you can type, manipulate text, and store written information. You can also open some types of files with pages. It is the product most similar to "notes" or "notepad" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? Pages is not as clean as Word or even Google Docs. The formatting is not easily transferable and is not used by the majority of people making files in pages difficult to transfer or use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you? Pages allows me to have an easy access writing pad through work computers, devices, or even my phone. I utilize this software for my personal note taking that doesn't need to be shared or uploaded anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like that Apple provided their own free alternative to Microsoft Word. For the most part I think it's compatible with Word if you need to edit a document you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? I wish there were more features similar to Microsoft Word, I'm used to their software when it comes to Word documents so if they could mirror and even improve what Word has I think this would increase their usership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you? Not necessarily solving problems but I use it primarily for notes, writing formal documents, and editing my resume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Pages? I used to lover using pages but it seems that Apple just doesn't care anymore. When I first purchased my mac in 2008, Pages was my only document editor. It worked like a charm and worked great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? Over the years, pages has started to stagnate. It seems that Apple has given on up their document editing software and left that to Word. Normally, I wouldn't mind too much but Word is simply not an affordable alternative unless is sponsored by by your institution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you? Essentially document editing. Runs very fast on Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually I don´t really like this app, there is a lack of function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? It´s quite difficult to use, no as intuitive as Microsoft Word. There are a lot of things you can´t do and without tutoriel, it´s difficult to do what you want. So you waste a lot of time by searching how to do things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Pages: Actually I wont recommend this to other companies, they should find another alternative for their employees to don't waste their productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you? I used pages to write texts, to do presentations and to write files.

I like how pages is compatible with almost every type of file and format of media that you would like to incorporate within your document. We use it all the time for advertising purpose. It does a great job for quick advertising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? There are some feature that seem to be laking within pages. I would like to have more control over editing and manipulation of the media that I upload. Since we mainly use this for quick advertising purposes, this hasn't been much of an issue yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Pages: Dont implement this as your main software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you? We use this for quick advertising when we do not want to use more advanced programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sales and Marketing Coordinator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/28/2017 "Not very user-friendly, much prefer Microsoft Word." 2/5 What do you like best about Pages? I like that it came natively on my MacBook, but I rarely use it unless I'm in an absolute pinch and haven't got access to Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? The control panel where all of the functions/tools are housed is confusing and not-user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AH Alexandra H. Marketing Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/30/2016 "An okay product" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Pages? Pages is great (if you aren't used to Word or Google Docs) because it's kind of user-friendly in an Apple way. It also makes it easy to create nice looking documents if you want to use their templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? I haven't used it regularly in several years (moved over to Google Docs) but when I did I was frustrated that tables were difficult to use and it never synced that well with Word documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Pages: Google Docs or Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SB Stefan B. sr. BIM Manager Information Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/13/2015 "I have tried, but it did not fit my needs" 2/5 What do you like best about Pages? It comes free with the iWork suite of apps and is a typical Apple-style consumer application. The templates are of good taste, which can not always be said from other alternatives. It integrates well with iPhoto and other Apple apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? It is rather limited when trying to do something professional. Whenever you want to get beyond the basic templates, you get into its basic constraints. There is little to no control over styling, the way other DTP systems approach it. While this is to be expected for a consumer-oriented program, it often leads to less balanced design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Pages: It is clearly a simplified DTP program. A little easier to use and more consistent with the other Apple apps than e.g. Microsoft Publisher and the templates are of a higher level (if you stick to them). But for full control, this is not your best choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Pages solving and how is that benefiting you? I tried initially to get used to the iLife and iWork suites of Apple, which were included when I bought my Macbook Pro, but I only kept using iPhoto (now replaced by Photos). The "professional" oriented applications showed too much hindrance if you want to tweak it into detail. Also implementing bigger changes takes too much effort.

Pages is free with the purchase of a Macbook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Pages? You can change any of your formatting like you would in Microsoft Word, but it is difficult to find these options. There should be a simpler layout of the formatting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Pages: If you have the choice between Pages and Microsoft Word, I would pick Word. It is more user friendly and formatting options are easier to find. (But not a Vista version) The upside to Pages, it is free with a Macbook purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
