I've been using the product for ~2 years in Microsoft Word and Powerpoint 2016 under Windows 10 Pro 64bit, I use it primarily for mathematical derivations with quite complex formula manipulations. For me, it is much more reliable and less tedious in MathType than in handwriting, and better predictable than, e.g., in Mathematica.
The major advantage for me is the clarity of Ctrl+C - Ctrl-V operations working well on subexpressions, the recursive applicability of all typesetting features such as sub/super-scripting, fractions, etc., and the possibility of editing and clipboard transfers in several MathType windows. I never lost a single line, it never crashed. What I am missing, however, is a richer set of character sets, a better description of integration with other editing software (e.g., my Word installation stubbornly shows 2 MathType tabs, and once had to be reinstalled). For Word or PowerPoint documents, the formulas look good, they are scalable as images and still can be edited. I know nothing about its applicability for cooperative work with different tools used by different people.
The weakest point is conversion to and from LaTeX. It kind of works, but sometimes needs some tweaks, depending on the other tool used to produce or accept the LaTeX (e.g. - accepting formulas from ChatGPT). Improving this functionality would be extremely useful for enabling cooperation and safeguarding sufficient lifetime of math-containing documents; with all respect, plain text is much more likely to survive than wiris.
Overall, I find it much better than what MS Office offers, much more useful for work than direct LaTeX, but I feel that the subscription-based licensing and its price have exceeded what I'd consider appropriate for such a general utility which represents just a tiny fraction of the toolbox I need for my work.

Working, but counter-productive, and a weak integration.
Took forever to load and is very difficult to work with in a timely fashion.

I am not impressed with the product in conjunction with Google docs. It seems not well integrated. To start you click on the extension menu to open the editor. Then once you get ready to type an equation, you open the editor gain !?. You type the equation and insert. The opening of the editor for each equation is very, very slow. To edit an existing equation you cannot just click on it, you have to first select the equation and then click again to open the editor and wait until the window opens (very slow). Occasionally the software gets stuck opening an equation or an equation simply cannot be re-edited. My biggest surprise was that mathtype doesn't seem to work when you edit a docx file - the crown jewel capability of the google docs editor. The extension menu disappears altogether.
While the equations look better when written in mathtype, I prefer the build in editor in how its integrated and speed. Editing an equation is less than a click. Another striking advantage of the build-in equation editor in google docs is that when the document is saved as a docx file and then edited with a third software such as pages, the equation is exported as "mathml" which can be edited again - mathtype equations are just images.
I am very disappointed with this software. Many years ago Mathtype used to be the best equation editor there was. But this current product is not ready for prime time, at least in conjunction with google docs.

Typed in about 10 lines of Trig Identity stuff. All nice.
Sent it back to the doc. All nice.
Back into MathType
Added a drawn symbol -- all my work vanished :-(
Started again Typed in three Trig Identities, then Small Angle Approximations. All nice.
Sent it to the doc and returned to viewing the Doc.
All gone again.
Only wasted about an hour and a half.
Realy happy with the Product (NOT).

Too many 'open' buttons click and the Google doc version should be 100% free.

Used to be a great product when you installed it as an extension for word, but since moving online it is just too slow. The constant loading and frequency of save failures means that it increases the time to create a document by several orders of magnitude.

It does what it is supposed to with writing the equation, but it is not editable after saving in the doc.

In my experience, the tool has been noticeably slower to load compared to other extensions or add-ons. Each time you want to create or edit an equation, it requires reopening the editor, which adds unnecessary time to the process. This frequent reopening not only disrupts the workflow but also significantly hinders efficiency. Users looking for a swift and streamlined experience might find this aspect particularly challenging.
