Although the reasons aren’t quite known, MS Excel doesn’t have a good reputation among data analysts.

Just stopped there : + not working on linux, paying on MacOS and Windows + proprietary format: hard to get data in / out from other tools (for instance, but not limited to, python lib, R lib, matlab (if some of us still want to use matlab) and all tools built upon those libs) + sucks for any real-sized dataset (try to handle 10k+ rows, not even thinking about 1M+ rows)

Those 3 reasons alone mean that you need to pay for a tool which would hardly do the job a team ask for, if only it works on their OSs, and won't be able to share it with other teams.
