What do you like best about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenOffice Base?

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.

Recommendations to others considering OpenOffice Base:

If you are paying for Microsoft Office it is worth trying Open Office. You may find it can do everything you need without the high cost of Microsoft Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What problems is OpenOffice Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was useful for a research in which I had a limited number of subjects, but information that increased over time. So I was just going to add those easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenOffice Base?

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.

Recommendations to others considering OpenOffice Base:

OpenOffice is a good software to use if you are looking for cost cutting in your company, As this software is free and it meets the requirement for basic documentations. It has most of the features required as compared to other similar software which are not free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenOffice Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

My work required me to document every aspect of my work and this software helped me to do the documentation. It is free to use so my company did not have to purchase extra software for my need as it was for basic documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you like best about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What problems is OpenOffice Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

I manage staff information and change the details when necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What do you dislike about OpenOffice Base?

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.

What problems is OpenOffice Base solving and how is that benefiting you?

Now I can access the database with the various information about the materials we use in our architectural projects.

Additionally, we can create records for each client and keep track of them through this database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
