What do you like best about LibreOffice?

Lo mejor de libreOffice es que ofrece toda la potencia de una suite ofimática como microsoft word, pero basado en una licencia de GNU LGPL. Es decir, tenemos una suite ofimática con todas las ventajas que ofrece el software libre y de código abierto y a coste gratuito.

Puedes usar en todos los puestos de trabajo de tus empleados esta suite sin tener que pagar un euro por su licencia.

Del mismo modo, en un entorno educativo, también podrías usarlo con todos los puestos de los alumnos sin tener que desembolsar nada. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Se echa en falta un cliente de correo electrónico. Algo que si incorporan otras opciones de la competencia como Microsoft Word Office. También es cierto que migrar de un entorno Microsoft a LibreOffice puede requerir un tiempo mínimo para adaptarse a los cambios, pues aunque son parecidos no todas las herramientas están en el mismo lugar.

También es cierto que LibreBase es bastante menos amigable que access y yo personalmente he tenido algunos problemas a la hora de hacer un mismo proyecto en LibreBAse que en Access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Si lo quieres para bases de datos, no es precisamente la mejor opción. Para cualquier otra herramienta ofimática, es perfecto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ahorro en costes de pagos de licencias de software ofimático. Yo lo uso en mi aula para el aprendizaje ofimático y no genera ningún coste tenerlo instalado en los puestos de los alumnos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

All the features and options that Office SpreadSheet has, it is a very powerful application and you can have it for free, you can do whatever you want, add data, make charts, add formulas, combine information between sheets, and so on. The truth is that it has a great variety of tools to work with. I really like this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The interface looks quite outdated. Additionally, some formats are lost or even corrupted when the file is opened in MS Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

This product is highly recommended, as it allows you to work quickly and easily. When working, its handling is very simple, and it is also worth noting that it is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use it especially to draft files at work, and I find it very easy to perform various tasks with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice, being free, allows me on my low salary at a non-profit to put together helpful and professional documents for internal and external use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice has every feature I need. It could be slightly more intuitive, especially by including button labels when you hover over a toolbox button. Overall, there are no big problems with LibreOffice. It works well as-is! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I create surveys, spreadsheets, instructional sheets, labels, and other documents for use at work. I'm happy with the ability to create all these documents for free. There's a good selection of fonts and features, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

Affordability, first and foremost. Additionally, much like Google Docs, you retain MS Office-like integrity, and you have a file at the end of the day that can be saved into a Windows Explorer folder without any comparative fuss or muss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The LibreOffice version of PowerPoint is a bit less unwieldy. You feel like you're jumping through a few loopholes to do comparatively basic things. Moreover, your fonts and formats are going to get royally screwed up if you do open a document in Microsoft, or vice versa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

If you like saving things in traditional Windows folders but aren't wanting to shell out for MS Office, this is the best alternative in the market. Google's document options are an equally sound, useful set of tools in comparison, but the requirement that you switch your document saving infrastructure completely to Google Drive in order to maximise the effectiveness and preservation of the integrity of those documents will require an internal sea change. It may be worth it for the more agile organisations looking to collaborate with clients in an effective manner; it may alienate them as well. To avoid that, LibreOffice is the undoubtedly the best way for businesses on the go to go forward. Best of all: free download. You read that right - free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Work with opensource clients in an opensource manner. We've managed to meet client expectations without compromising on our expectations or work quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is completely free, it brings many tools that are very useful and basic, such as creating presentations, text documents, or data tables.
