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

This "office" system does everything that's needed in your office from word processing to presentations, with 100% compatibility to several other office-like products, and does it in a wonderful no-cost format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

No e-mail software is included, but there are many alternatives, that can be used in conjunction with LibreOffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Grab something from the public domain, such as "claws mail" or Mozilla Thunderbird to handle your e-mail.Although e-mail functionality would have been a nice feature in LibreOffice, it wasn't included in the package, likely due to the fact that there is an over abundance of e-mail utilities floating around for Linux, and Linux-y environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed a way to handle MS Word and MS Excel files under Linux. LibreOffice provides that, and more, including functions for rendering all work to Adobe PDF documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The fact that this is free is the #1 reason my work chooses LibreOffice. But we would not use it if the program set did not get the job done. Document creator, spreadsheets, simple database projects, and more are valuable tools for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice doesn't have all the same presenting and formatting options that Microsoft Office does, but it has everything I commonly use in my role. I'd appreciate a few more fonts in the various programs and animations for the slide show tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

LibreOffice helps me stay organized and create presentable deliverables to my supervisors and my customers. I appreciate how easy it is to pick up and learn because I never used LibreOffice before coming to my current place of work, and I needed to learn quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

* Its free!

* All the applications in the suite are compatible with each other.

* 90% of the functionality in Microsoft Office, and 100% of the functionality I use on a regular basis is in LibreOffice.

* It receives regularly updates, which means that most of the new file formats from Microsoft Office can be read before regular Microsoft Office users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

* I can't think of anything I dislike.

* There is no email client in LibreOffice, so I use Mozilla Thunderbird instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used OpenOffice.org for office file processing from 2001-2011. LibreOffice was created as a fork of OpenOffice.org when Oracle bought Sun Microsystems in 2011, and I have used LibreOffice from version 3.4 instead since then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

It has no licensing fees. LibreOffice is free for anyone to use and distribute at no cost and it is Open source. The best option for people who want the best solution for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Excel macros are not supported. The compatibility issue persists when switching the file format. The graphs are basic, and manipulation is not as intuitive as it could be. They need to update the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is free to use and most of the options are available for doing complex office work. Export to PDF option helps a lot. The various inbuild applications are able to import and export documents in a variety of well-known formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The best part about LibreOffice is that it is free, open-source and highly customizable. I was a MS office user for more than ten years on my Windows system. LibreOffice has the exact same, rather more features than MS Office. It has an easy-to-use UI which can be customized as per my needs. My favorite application is LibreOffice Writer, the perfect and highly competent alternative to MS Word. It is regularly updated, which makes it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The only thing I don't like about this software is that it fails to provide support to files from the latest office build, MS Office 2019. The world is still using MS office, and hence it becomes necessary that this software should support the file format as well. Also, some more templates can be added in the software itself so that I need not have to sownload it manually. Rest all is good, I have not faced any issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

It is the best office suite in the market. Just go for it 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 needs. There's nothing for which I have to look at any other software. It is just the best application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The interface is entirely customizable, allowing users to adapt to LibreOffice faster. Virtually all basic and intermediate spreadsheet and text editing tools are available. LibreOffice is one of the few open-source solutions that develop advanced solutions such as VBA language support; this allows many tasks to be performed natively, avoiding the use of an external solution and the misinterpretation that, for example, an automation system based on OCR or pattern recognition can cause. Another advantage is the direct contact with volunteer developers or even contributing to the development of this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The regular expression system is inferior to some competitors, and VBA compatibility is difficult to use as it requires several modifications to the original code to work correctly. Even though there are tools that convert VBA automation to LibreOffice compatibility mode, they are never perfect. The features work relatively well, but much of the existing code was made for slightly different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The market trend is to synchronize everything in the cloud. This brings advantages, but it also makes work difficult when you are not all the time connected to the corporate system. LibreOffice is a great office suite option that maintains all its functionality without the need to be connected to the internet. Therefore, this software is used for tasks where real-time collaboration is not required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The short cut keys need to be arrange in well manner. Some times it get yang while copy and paste huge data from the different spreadsheet, else nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The data formating issue was facing earlier in case of huge data. It takes time to rearrange all the component in the sheet. Now with LibreOffice it is quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Libre Office is available for free on Linux, Windows, and Mac. Libre Office is the best alternative to MS Office. Libre Office is very similar to Microsoft Office. Libre Office includes word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, database, and drawing tools. Libre Office is compatible with Microsoft Office. Libre Office is more secure, reliable, and faster than Microsoft Office. Libre Office is 100% free software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
