LibreOffice its an office suit that offers all the necessary tools for any administrative work. It's similar to microsoft office it has all the applications like word, acces, and so on. Easy to use. Every application works correctly plus its completly free so you can't complain much about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

There are other sofwares (not free) with more content, visually prettier and more updated. Sometimes LibreOffice has some compatibility problems when working with documents made with other more popular softwares and vice versa when openning documents made with LibreOffice and openning with other programs.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

easy to use, Intuitive, endlessly customizable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

It is not the fault of LibreOffice but sometimes there are problems converting more complex documents to Microsoft Office. For simple documents, there is usually no problem. Converting to many other formats, especially open source, is usually not a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Writer is more of a style-based program than Word, Before using Writer, read some of the documentation about styles so you understand the logic of using them. Once you understand the logic, you will find it easier to use than Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I mainly use Writer for writing documents and Calc for creating spreadsheets. Both work extremely well. There are active forums for both LibreOffice and Open Office where my questions have been rapidly answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The software indeed has all the features I need. For a cooler office, using and learning Libre is easier than Microsoft Word, as Word had a lot of features that are not necessary for a beginner. Almost replicates Microsoft Office, minus the license. Extremely useful for saving coats. Even otherwise, this application allows you to do more than your role might require. Since the project had a limited budget, LibreOffice was a great cost saver and easy to dismiss. At the beginning of my career, I used to use the drag-and-drop feature to create SQL queries for thousands of records on LibreOffice. It is a great way to save on licensing costs when basic features like viewing and sending doc files are required, which do not use highly specialized or complex features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

As an open source solution, there are certainly complexities and some quirky features, where perhaps things are not as simplified as Microsoft Office, but if you learn how the platform works, you can quickly discover that you can do everything necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

I recommend using the free office and in this way it is possible to evaluate the good tool that it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used this for reminders, spreadsheets full of data, the occasional presentation, a lot and a lot of typed notes and letters. It's very easy to keep up with work on a budget, because who doesn't love saving money? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

In my opinion, the best free alternative to Microsoft Office, better than OpenOffice, from which it has derived... In the 4 years I've been using it, I haven't missed Microsoft Office at any time, with versions for text editor (Writer), spreadsheets (Calc), presentations (Impress), databases (Base, I haven't used), and others that make it unique like equation and formula editor (Math), creation of graphics and VECTOR DESIGNS (Draw) beyond what Microsoft offers in some areas. It also offers a portable version, which you can carry on a pendrive and use without the need for installation on any device you are on... a feature we miss a lot in Microsoft Office, it's a great advantage to have the programs you use most in your pocket and never be without an Office program again! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I like the Microsoft Office User Interface more, the fact that the menus change according to what you do makes it much easier, but it's not a very popular opinion here at work... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

It is an excellent alternative to Microsoft Office (I think the best) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We make rental contracts as well as templates and expense control, although we have a mixed use of LibreOffice and Microsoft Office in the company, both are compatible with their respective formats so we never had any compatibility issues between the two programs.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

Ease-of-use with word documents and spreadsheets is fantastic very similar to the more well-known Microsoft products.
