What do you like best about LibreOffice?

When you decide to follow the model of using open-source programs, some problems arise. In my case, when we decided to migrate all our Windows computers to Ubuntu we found the problem that we could not continue using the Windows Office package. Luckily, Libre Office put an end to that inconvenience. Libre Office is easy to install and use in addition to configurable in Spanish (the native language of our project). These programs are, without a doubt, one of the most used in my day to day. Especially the text editor and spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The documentation is well done and extensive in English, I think it can be improved in other languages (at least in Spanish, the language I use). I think there are missing tutorials to learn how to use the program in depth, especially for those more advanced functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Excellent tools for preparing documents for free. In my opinion, it is very good news to have access to these tools without the obligation to pay licenses. If you decide to go to the open-source side, do not hesitate to implement these programs in your company and stop paying for them! The more we are, the faster the free programs will improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The day to day of our office. In particular, I use Libre Office to write all those texts that I need internally. Also to save texts that we publish on our website. I also use the spreadsheet to perform calculations and tables on the internal linking structure of the web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The graphical user interface in LibreOffice is similar to other common office suite applications, so it doesn't take long for experienced office staff to use. We can load and save documents in lots of different formats. The spreadsheets can execute most of the formulas and calculations that I enter into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I think LibreOffice is a great office suite and has been able to do everything I expected of it, so there are no dislikes to speak of from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

You can integrate an external proofreading tool like Grammarly to enhance your writing abilities and save time correcting typographical errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The text editing abilities have been on par or better than any of the other office application I've use. I can use the spreadsheet application to create to-do lists, enter inventory, create account documents and even presentation materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all it is the best and free suit for personal and official use. It is the best source to making a document as well as it doesn't need any sort registration. It works nicely on all the operating systems but I usually use it for Linux. It has improved interface in last update which is much better in application and much better with Linux.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

A number of years ago, Microsoft Word was really usable software for people who are comfortable office suites. Then they added "features" to make it user friendly, which means that if you already know how you want to format something, you have to get rid of MS's defaults.

Libre Office, on the other hand, just lets you do your work. It is functional without being paternalistic. Libre Office is a fully operational Office Suite. It is fully compatible with MS's suite so you can open MS files and you can save files in the MS format. The documentation on Libre Office is really good.

Libre Office is open source software. It has been created and continually refined by people who care about creating good, solid software. It has a great track record for stability. It can be used on Mac, Windows, and many flavors of Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I have not found things that I dislike about Libre Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is an economical way to access the same tools. Microsoft file formats The basic tools included in the package are a text processor for creating documents, a spreadsheet for calculations, and a presentation tool for creating audio-visual presentations. There are also a few additional tools that come with LibreOffice. These are them: Draw, Base, and Math. The Base tool is very effective in creating large databases, and designers will appreciate the drawing tool. Many applications and functions integrate, which is, of course, useful for those who use the package to create professional presentations. Software remote file function allows users to download files from cloud storage. A simple click will download files from Google Drive or OneDrive when your account is connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The unfortunate side of file management in the program is the lack of original tools for cooperation. Multiple users cannot edit a single document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Those who are looking for a free alternative to expensive office packages should check out LibreOffice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

The application is so great in that it places all the the most important features like the frames, paragraphs etc within an easy reach to enable us to produce and beautify the appearance of our book.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The application doesn't come out with tutorials to help the beginners in the learning process

The application is also not so fast in terms of responding and consumes huge amounts of space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LibreOffice?

Why do I like LibreOffice?

Easy, it's free!

Like any good open source product it is a free product and can be installed and used on practically any OS, without complications or compatibility problems, with particular attention to the hardware resources used.

So much so that it works great even on older PCs.

It has an active community of users who improve it day by day and have incredible stability!

It supports practically any type of file and allows you to have an efficient and free Office suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Being an open source product, it has very bad technical support, but fortunately, thanks to the community, it is possible to solve every problem without too much effort.

Also the compatibility with documents coming from other Office suites is a bit scarce, which sometimes creates problems, but which an expert user can easily solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice:

Using open source programs in my opinion increases the possibility that great giants, like Microsoft and those who create similar programs, make more efforts to improve and increase competition does nothing but benefit the market, especially in commonly used products.

So install and use all LibreOffice, it's a fantastic program!

You will also become part of an increasingly active and functional community! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The possibility of having an always reliable and complete office suite on any device, without the purchase of expensive annual scandeza licenses is a great thing.

The ease of installation, ease of use and ease of troubleshooting, makes me love LibreOffice.

I've never found better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
