What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice provides everything I need in an office suite - Plus, its native format converts directly to GoogleDocs format when I upload to my Google Drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice doesn't do email or calendar... but I'm not sure it really needs to. Being open-source, the more responsible thing is to sidle up to other FOSS respectables who are already doing a good job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

No need to chain yourself to expensive proprietary licenses. I've been using LibreOffice exclusively for more than ten years (including the previous OpenOffice), and it's more than sufficient for any business task you might otherwise have to pay hundreds of dollars for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use LibreOffice for documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and business stationery (designing cards and ads). Big advantage is that it has always natively supported export to PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The fact that LibreCalc can handle literally a million datasets and is needing no extraordinary hardware to do that. With other office tools I had serious problems like crashes or an extraordinary long waiting time when working with such a big database. And of course it is free forever. And although its free the support is very good especially the healthy community around the tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Working with this program is very fast but starting several files sometimes needs a lot of time. The other point is my subjective opinion. It costed me a lot of time to learn all the features that are different from other office tools, but the classes offered by Libre helped a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

If you are looking for a free alternative tool for your iffice work than download the Libre package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simply all office work that you can imagine. From cost calculations to working with customer data with Libre to writing invitations to people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The package offers everything you need in an office package and is compatible with most forms of document, including Microsoft Office documents which makes editing a breeze and it's extremely simple and intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I use my word processor primarily for writing fiction and editing books, particularly for novel writing for ebook publishing and manuscript formatting. Unfortunately the native formatting does not easily strip and can cause errors when trying to upload to KDP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

When looking for free alternatives to Microsoft Office, LibreOffice does pretty much everything you could possibly require. The only downside I've had is the formatting issue for KDP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used LibreOffice primarily for word processing and keeping track of budgeting and finances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

It's free and does a decent job replacing MS Office. Above this, It also manages other open document formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

It can be slow, especially with PowerPoint files. Also, formatting might not be mirrored exactly when re-opening files in Word, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

If you use it exclusively (without editing Microsoft Office documents), it's OK. When you try to edit the same documents in MS Word, for example, it can be tricky as formatting is not 100% similar. Also, PowerPoint documents are slow to view fullscreen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can open and edit Microsoft Office documents without paying Microsoft. It's especially useful for opening and viewing documents, as editing can be tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price and the knowledge that in using LibreOffice I'm actually supporting the open source movement! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

As an open sourced solution there are definitely intricacies and some quirky features, where perhaps things are not as streamlined as Microsoft Office, but if you learn how the platform works, you can quickly find that you can do everything you require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The software literally has every functionality that i need. Almost replicates microsoft office, minus the licensing. Extremely helpful to save down coats. For a fresher, using and learning libre office is easier than Microsoft word, as word had loads of features that are unnecessary for a newbie .

Its a great way to save costs on licensing when basic features are required such as viewing and sending .XLS/.DOC files which do not use highly specialized or complex functionalities.

Even otherwise, this application allows you to do more than what your role might require. Early in my career, i used to use the drag functionality to create SQL queries for thousands of records on LibreOffice. Since the project was on a budget, LibreOffice was a great cost saver, and easy to license . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

support for less types of files is a major challenge that i face. Also, it is not used at a lot of places and conversion between word and libre office does affect how it shows on screen.

Also, LibreOffice can promote its free product, its definitely an amazing product which is highly underrated.

The UI can be improved to make the product look more enterprise, which currently looks more scientific and packed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

free and powerful. You can use it to your advantage if you plan the users accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Office was expensive, and didnt give all feature at all times. LibreOffice fixed this issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
