You forgot MS's solution

Comment comment by marcus on 24 June 2007

Microsoft also offers a web-based excel solution called Excel Services which is part of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

I've heard the main problem is that it lacks macro's and you have to right custom VB scripts to mimic the functionality. Until this gets fixed I'd think twice before deploying, finance departments won't like the lack of macros.

I haven't deployed this feature yet, so don't have much more to add, here is a link for more info: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101054761033.aspx?pid=CH101768471033

This product will probably become the leading online spreadsheet program, it integrates with all office products and can be deployed and managed enterprise wide. The primary users will probably be a finance department.

RE: You forgot MS's solution by tomtolman :: NR5

That's great if you are running a SharePoint server. What I'm looking for is the best product that can be integrated into any webpage. This looks like an enterprise solution, not a solution for the common user.
