Can you use Office 365 on iPad, productively?

This all-in-one suite has been available on iPhone and Android since 2019, but is finally available where you actually want it – on iPad. The combined suite makes it easier for you to stay within Microsoft Office's various apps, but does it really give it an advantage over standalone apps?

“Having an integrated suite reduces inefficiencies in accessing data and in collaborating,” Jacob Dayan, CEO and co-founder of Community Tax, told Lifewire — somewhat cryptically — via email. "If you use Microsoft Teams, you can easily share Word and Excel documents with real-time collaboration."

I asked around for opinions on why a suite might be better for users than the already available Microsoft mobile apps, but the answers were inconclusive.
