With LibreOffice I have never had any errors

It has all the same features as MS Office, however it is free to use and available on Linux! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The only thing I may dislike is that it's not so popular among other users. Thus when working with Libre, I really need to make sure that the formatting stays the same when saving files to the .doc format. Otherwise, MS Word users might find your file designed or formatted.

I would definitely recommend LibreOffice. The more users it has, the easier it will be to use .odt files format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is a program under the terms of the GNU open source license agreement. It is completely free and compatible with the most widely used operating systems on the market. LibreOffice is the ideal solution for a company that does not want or cannot spend much budget on expensive office software licenses, as LibreOffice is a collection of programs with various objectives, including word processor, spreadsheet, relational database manager, drawing and basic design software, and slide presentation software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The worst thing about LibreOffice is that it does not support online collaborative work, something very necessary today, and the inclusion of an email manager is also missed, as its direct rival from Microsoft does include. Sometimes, in text documents or slide presentations made by the competing software, compatibility is not achieved one hundred percent, leading to unexpected results when viewing them. Otherwise, there are no complaints about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

There is no need to be afraid of stepping out of the usual, the compatibility of LibreOffice with other formats is almost achieved, it is free and very complete, professional and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LibreOffice helps with our daily tasks related to office work, mainly text documents and spreadsheets. Additionally, being free, it is installed on all the company's computers without the fear of having to pay for expensive licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is an opensource software so it is easy to download from its website and it is free of cost. I use LibreOffice writer, for writing my blogs and books reviews and this tool helps me a lot in modifying and spelling check. There are various types of fonts available in it right from Liberation Serif to Wan Quan Yi Zen Hei Sharp. Another advantage of using this software is the PDF conversion of the documents as it is easy to convert. There are many helpful tools available in this software to make a document or a spreadsheet with par excellence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The thing I dislike is about the LibreOffice draw, as there is an option here to edit the pdf documents, but the PDF editing is not easy and the with images it is very difficult and the outcome also not good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are benefits I have realized by using this software, like writing blogs, documents and spreadsheets, and even ebooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
