Explain what a software suite is, and mention the advantage and disadvantage of using software suites.

Correct Answer

verified

A software suite is a collection of application software sold as a single package. Purchasing a software suite is usually much less expensive than purchasing each application in the suite separately. Because all the applications in the suite are produced by the same software publisher, they tend to have similar user interfaces and provide an easy way to transport data from one application to another. The disadvantage of the software suite is that it might include applications you do not need. You should calculate the price of the applications you do need and compare that to the cost of the suite.
