The amount of Excel use is the key imo.
The open source equivalent for Linux (I forget the name right now) is really good and will do things like pivots, link website data, etc. Pretty sure Google still can't do that, but could be wrong.
In the grand scheme of things O365 is good value imo, so if she needs to use excel herself and in conjunction with others to a medium or advanced level, (rather than just reading other peoples spreadsheets) I'm not sure Google cuts it.
You can always get around word formatting with PDFs.
One thing that I quite like, and I think you get with O365, is Publisher. Again Ymmv.
