What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is free and open source, without the bondage that Microsoft 365 imposes by online subscriptions, and without the platform specificity of Apple Pages/Numbers/Keynote combo. It is an integrated office productivity suite that just works, especially on decent and modern hardware, whether Mac, Windows or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Given that it is a monolithic tool that combines word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and more, it will have a large codebase and so you do need a decently modern hardware to run this well, especially if you are using it for large documents such as writing/editing textbooks or spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the main problems is cost, especially for a growing outfit that wants to contain costs going forward in an uncertain economy. Another issue is commericla and proprietary office productivity software such as Microsoft 365 forces us to be tied into a particular vendor and be straddled with a per-user subscription program, which I dislike as a cost containment strategy. And if we are on Apple Mac hardware, although Apple's separate productivity tools such as Pages, Numbers and Keynote are great tools, they are constrained to run only on Apple Macs and not on any other, which can be another problem for a business forced to run particular software on specific Apple hardware (usually more expensive than other harrdware). LibreOffice offers compatibility with the majority of users out there running Microsoft 365 or older offline tools, but no more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use libreoffice mainly for optimizing the written data by alligning proper space before sending the work completion email. It is really helpful to store a copy of completed work in another format in our local system as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is a versatile and accessible office suite that is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and Mac. This makes it easy to share files across different platforms and maintain the same workflows. I find Writer and Calc, the LibreOffice equivalent of Word and Excel, to be packed with a wealth of features that are well-organized and provide a great user experience. Moreover, LibreOffice offers an extensive range of export options that include the most commonly used formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is the ideal office suite for personal and business users as it is compatible with all major platforms such as Linux, Windows, and Mac, making it easy to share files and maintain consistency in workflow across different computers. The Writer and Calc features are packed with a range of features and offer a user-friendly interface. However, the addition of an email program would make LibreOffice a complete office solution, potentially replacing paid office programs. The current issue can be resolved by using the free and cross-platform email program Thunderbird. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice solving and how is that benefiting you?

LibreOffice offers a seamless cross-platform office suite experience, making it ideal for users like me who switch between different operating systems. Whether I'm using Linux or Mac, I can maintain my productivity and keep my content and workflow intact. It's a perfect solution for my needs and provides me with a familiar and consistent experience across all platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is usable on ALL major platforms. Linux, Windows and Mac, it all simply works. This makes sharing files across the platforms an easy task and offers the same workflow when switching computers.

For most work, I use Writer and Calc, the Word and Excel variants of Libreoffice.

They are packed with a ton of features that you might expect in office programs in a great layout.

Also, the export features are plenty, not missing the top-used ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The addition of a good email program would make this the nr. one complete office program and replacement of a famous, non-free office program.

Not a major problem in itself, but it would only give the ability to replace other paid office programs in itself.

For now, the problem can be solved by using Thunderbird, as it is also cross-platform and free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Offering a full office suite experience across multiple platforms. Because I mainly use Linux as my work computer and sometimes switch to Mac, I want to be able to do this without losing any content and/or workflow.

LibreOffice offers this feature by providing me with the same experience across both platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

Despite being free software, it is highly stable and performs exceptionally well. There is no need to envy paid options, as it boasts an intuitive and professional interface, complete with all necessary tools for effectively managing any kind of information or creating various types of documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

While the graphical interface may appear somewhat outdated, it shouldn't be an issue for those who appreciate a retro aesthetic. Furthermore, I have yet to encounter any errors that would hinder my productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LibreOffice solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using data management tables akin to those found in Excel, I have effectively organized our database of produced songs. Additionally, I have composed various administrative documents, including collection accounts, and exported them as PDFs for sending via email at a later time.
