Hi

Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud-based subscription service that brings together the best tools for the way people work today. By combining best-in-class apps like Excel and Outlook with powerful cloud services like OneDrive and SharePoint, Office 365 lets anyone create and share anywhere on any device.

Pros

  1. The Microsoft Office 365 Activities Package gives you the ability to automate interactions with Office 365 applications.

  2. Integrating with the Microsoft Graph API, this activities package enables your Robots to manage OneDrive and SharePoint files, create and edit Excel workbooks, search and send Outlook emails, and manage Outlook calendars.

  3. In short it helps you to integrate with other Microsoft products apart from excel in one single scope
    Which is not possible with excel activity

  4. And you get n number of activities with excel and also with other applications

Refer this doc for excel

Cons

  1. Excel is ofcourse very simple to use with its configuration
