What do you like best about LibreOffice?

In addition to being open-source the compatibility with Microsoft Office is fantastic. I´ve been using Libre Office since 2015 and I'm fully satisfied with the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Microsoft Office is more complete about plugins and other tools such as cloud storage. LibreOffice doesn't offer support to the client because it´s free, but the community is very active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First of all, it is free, so I don't have to be concern about licenses and updates. Another cool feature is the possibility of developing macros in python. I can open any extension of other office applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

What I like most about this software is its ease of use, simplicity, a clean, easy-to-understand structure. In addition, it has tools so that we can do our work with more professionalism, fonts, the WordArt replacement that is FontWork, I like all the programs that make up the package and recommend it so that it can be used.

The presentation part and the Text Editor deserve to be highlighted, since the program that creates presentations has more design, more templates, more vibrant colors, while the text editor I mentioned sometimes has its highlight too, for this and for other reasons I like libreoffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

What I like most about this software is the ease of handling the components that come with it, each program that makes up libreoffice leaves nothing to be desired when compared to its paid competitor, a clean, intuitive and very easy-to-use interface.

Free office in text function has a huge range of fonts, sizes, graphics, an alternative to word art, our software that came to transform when typing content, and the best part of all is that it is open source and free . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Some problems like looking for commands in the menu and toolbars, this program that is called Writer, the commands are easily accessible in addition to being on the menu bars, we can have them under these bars, making it easy to apply what you want. the person intends.

Libreoffice mainly for those who like to write books, convert texts to pdf, treatment of information, construction of tables and presentations are very easy to use, tool commands, menus are all made easy for people to use without fear. When it comes to formatting a page, you can see how easy it is to deal with it, as all the tools are organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The best thing I like most about LibreOffice is, It is completely free to use and I can download it on any system like Linux, Mac, or Windows OS. It is the best alternative free option of Microsoft Office. It has a very neat and clean user interface which helps beginner users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The thing I don't like about LibreOffice is, It is not completely stable like Microsoft Office. It needs lots of improvement to beat paid competitors in the market. Another thing I don't like is, It's cross-compatibility with Google Docs and Microsoft Office is not good as much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Libre Office is one of the best alternatives to Microsoft Office. Libre Office is completely free to use which is available for all OS like Windows, Mac, and Linux. I highly recommend it to those organizers and people who are not able to purchase paid software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems I solved with LibreOffice are, It is very helpful when we haven't enough money for pad software. It works almost like paid software like Microsoft Office. It helps me to open an office file in any system by downloading Libre Office from their website, which is one plus point for me to access my files completely free from anywhere. I use spreadsheet tools often for my business purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The best part about Libre Office is that it is an all in one office suite. It supports all my office files: Word, PowerPoint, Excel altogether. The best part is that it has cross-platform support and available for use across Windows, Linux and Mac. Even it supports Microsoft office files, which makes it even better as Microsoft office has still more market share than any other software. It has a clean, easy to use UI, and has all the features of MS office which makes it my favourite application for all my office needs, and that too available for free. Also, it is updated regularly, which makes it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I am using this basically on my Linux system, as it came preinstalled. I have not faced any issue so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

If you want a free and easy-to-use office suite that works exactly like MS office, just go for it without any second thought. It is surely the best open-source application in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using LibreOffice for all my Office requirements. The major benefit I have realized from this app is that it completely overshadows MS Office. I don't require MS Office for any of my work now. LibreOffice fulfills all my needs and demands. I am using it for everything that I want to do with my office files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

I use LibreOffice specifically on my Ubuntu Linux system as it comes bundled with it. The best part about this application is that it is highly customizable, easy to use with a similar interface to MS office. I never felt the need of MS office on switching to Linux system, where Microsoft office is not available. But LibreOffice does the job easily without any compatibility issues in opening office files. Moreover, it is free and open source, which make love it more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I have been using LibreOffice for more than a year now, and I never felt any issue with it. Except that it still doesn't provide support to newer office file versions like MS Office 2019. Rest all is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The major benefit I have realized from this application is that I never felt the need to install a software like MS office in my Linux system to do my work. I am using this application for all my office work when I use my Linux machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
