Top Rated OpenOffice Base Alternatives
I found it useful to use OpenOffice Base when for a search I had a huge amount of data with information referring to different subjects. So it was convenient to create records for each subject and then add the various information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think it's a program that can be used by the average user, as you need to have the basic knowledge to use it. Perhaps adding user suggestions would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft office is expensive and switching to a yearly fee from one time made me look for alternatives and that is where OpenOffice comes in. It covers all the basic functionality you need and is free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't have all the features of Microsoft Office and it does take a bit to find everything as it doesn't have the same layout as Microsoft Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Open Office is one the best free software for your office work. It has most of the features available to use just as Microsoft office. You can create documents, worksheet, presentations and it does satisfy your needs with minimum features. It is a good alternative to Microsoft office. The user interface is simple and customizable. It does not have any compatibility issues with other formats and lets you share and edit the documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software does not have as much features as other software does but you cant complain as it is free to use. The updates are not quite frequent and have to be manually done. The software does not maintain regular backup of documents being made which sometimes can be an issue if there is power failure and you forgot to save the document. Other than that it is a decent software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
is a very valid alternative to the very expensive "office package".
it's cheap and manages to keep up with 100% more expensive and popular software.
I find the part about presentations very useful, especially for creating basic presentations
instead the part related to the spreadsheets is excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the graphic of the program is not up to the level of what we can find in programs at a little high value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my case I use OpenOffice Base because I received the file created by my predecessor. The records and the various information to be entered had already been set. I found the program useful only after they instructed me well about its operation. Now I use it to add and edit information in the records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that the program is not intuitive. I know a lot of people who might like it but when they open it they don't understand how it works. I think it would be convenient if the wizard was more detailed when it was turned on and that clearer suggestions appear as you go through the commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that this suite has kept this database management program among its programs.
If one has a basic knowledge of creating and modifying records, anyone can process their own database.
I used to use Access, but for some time now it has not been available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that sometimes you have to look through tutorials to understand how to perform certain operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like being able to create my customer databases and keep everything under control quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not like that unfortunately the files are not interchangeable with those who do not have the same software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Before I used the Access app from Microsoft, but since it is no longer included in the pre-installed package on the PC I looked for an alternative and I found it with OpenOffice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The database creation mechanism is not very guided, therefore not very easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Il programma è gratuito e fa bene il suo lavoro, è un diretto concorrente con altri noti software ma non ha nulla da invidiare. Programma semplice ed intiutivo, molto veloce Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Programma graficamente vecchio, andrebbe fatto qualche aggiornamento in modo costante, ma tutto sommato non ha aspetti negativi... è pur sempre un programma gratuito Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Effective tools for a complete office work, a great alternative to payment options, with optimal and highly functional performance, quality tools, compatibility with many formats, and a zero learning curve as it is very intuitive an interface control as most office suites and everything at free price.

The interface could be better, and have more customization options, the powerpoint alternative is not flawless like all the others programs in this suite Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
