Great tool that i like to use every day, very fast and lightweight compared to Microsoft office or other office productivity tools.

After OpenOffice got acquired by Oracle, the source code was forked under the name LibreOffice which turned to be a better more reliable project, independent from any for profit companies that may end up sabotaging the development of this great productivity suite tools that are great alternative to Microsoft Office. The suite include the following tools : LibreOffice Calc - Spreadsheets creation, editing and management tool best alternative to Office Excel LibreOffice Writer - Document creation, editing and management tool best alternative to Microsoft Word LibreOffice Impress - Presentation creation, editing and management tool best alternative to Powerpoint LibreOffice Base - Database creation, editing and management tool best alternative to Microsoft Access LibreOffice Draw - Vector graphics Creation, editing and management tool, alternative to Adoble illustrator, Microsoft Visio, Inkscape... LibreOffice Math - Math documents creation and management tool.

Macro function is not that reliable yet, and although LibreOffice is open source it seems the development of the project is very slow, very little functions or UI changes are added after every release.

Use libreoffice everyday at work and is a godsend to use

Libreoffice is a full featured productivity suite and has many needed features that are all free to use

There are a few bugs in libreoffice but that is expected in a free program but there are regular updates to fix many bugs

As a student, I liked using LibreOffice as an alternative to Microsoft Office, especially if a professor insisted on uploading .docx files to Blackboard or Banner with no alternative file type. However, now that Microsoft is becoming more proprietary, LibreOffice is not keeping up with the features and integration, and much of the formatting that my coworkers prize are lost when uploaded elsewhere, making LibreOffice outdated in our workplace.

It's free and looks a lot like Microsoft Office. It carries out the major functions: writing a document, creating a spreadsheet, even adding formulas and embedding images. Because it is less bulky than Office, it moves faster and its documents are faster to email. Files can be saved in many formats including .doc. You can open .docx files without paying for a Microsoft license.

Many features do not open correctly when importing from Microsoft. Formatting, special conditioning, and even many formulas will not import to LibreOffice, so cross-platforming is not possible.

LibreOffice is a solid and comprehensive alternative to proprietary office suites like Microsoft Office. It offers a wide range of features that meet the needs of most users, including word processing, spreadsheet editing, presentation creation, and more.LibreOffice's open-source nature also means that it has a large user community and is constantly being improved and updated. However, it may take some time for users who are accustomed to other office suites to adjust to LibreOffice's interface and features.Overall, if you're looking for a free and feature-rich office suite that is compatible with multiple operating systems, LibreOffice is definitely worth considering.

Pros:Free and open-source: LibreOffice is completely free to download, use, and distribute. It is also open-source software, meaning that the source code is freely available for anyone to modify and improve upon.Cross-platform compatibility: LibreOffice runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, making it a great choice for people who use different platforms.Feature-rich: LibreOffice comes with a comprehensive suite of productivity tools, including a word processor, spreadsheet editor, presentation creator, and more. It also offers advanced features such as PDF import and export, macro recording, and compatibility with multiple file formats.Customizable: LibreOffice is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust the user interface, keyboard shortcuts, and menus to suit their preferences.

Cons:Limited cloud integration: While LibreOffice offers some cloud integration options, it is not as robust as other office suites like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.Compatibility issues: Despite its efforts to support multiple file formats, LibreOffice may still encounter compatibility issues when opening or saving files created in other office suites.Learning curve: Users who are used to other office suites may need some time to adjust to LibreOffice's user interface and features.Limited support: While LibreOffice has a large user community, it does not have the same level of professional support as other office suites.

Excellent free alternative to other products. Features are well-built, though SOME of the features found in other products might not be present. Compatibility is great across multiple OS. Lightweight software.

As mentioned above, there are SOME features that are present in other alternatives that are absent in LibreOffice. That is not to say that LibreOffice is not a viable option, as the crucial features are still present and well-built, and the missing features might be considered niche.

For quick edits on Word documents on Linux, LibreOffice offers everything one's needs.

Since Microsoft Office does not support Linux OS users must find an alternative. There are some sensitive documents that are not allowed to be edited online, so an offline program must be used. LibreOffice is the most complete editor for documents while working offline. It has the basic features of Word, also supports both .doc and .docx documents and runs smoothly on Unix systems.

Most advanced usage is limited by its features. It is not as easy to, since its interface is really confusing and not consistent as opposed to Microsoft Word.

In general it's good, but I think it would be nice to restructure the look in the software

It's good because when you need to open a file quickly and you don't have any other document software, libre office helps a lot

I didn't like it so much because it doesn't have a very nice look, and I also think the orders of the tools for editing documents are a bit messed up

It was great at the finishes of my schoolwork and college

It has a pom performance and calligraphy, giving a good visibility in the assembly of the works

There are features that need to be purchased, so I didn't like it

Easy to use and understand, and the fact that it is an open software.

Nothing to complain about here, but maybe the integration between the apps in the office could be better.

I appreciate the fact that the app is totally free

Sometimes it could be slower than Office for some specific task

I use LibreOffice almost daily mainly for reading and file conversion tasks, also because many companies and governments have used the OpenDocument format, which is much better worked on Libre. The improved support for CSV is really fundamental for my work, especially when I exchange data between programs and I need to make adjustments. I just don't use Libre completely, because standard Microsoft files like DOCX and XLSX open better and look better in MS Office - LibreOffice often messes up these types of files.

I love the fact that it maintains the purity of the traditional office layout, while in other programs everyone switches to the ribbon tabs (I particularly hate the ribbon). I really like Libre Office Calc's CSV support too, which lets you deal with different row / column separators. Command line automation options are also great for solving document conversion and repetitive tasks with scripts, even when calling by other programs.

There is nothing I dislike about LibreOffice, for the purpose for which it is intended. Perhaps the fact that standard Microsoft files, such as doc / docx and xls / xlsx, do not always open correctly, as it is relatively common in more elaborate files, that LibreOffice makes a mess. But that usually doesn't affect me and I alternate between the two programs.

I used LibreOffice for all basic "office" work, mainly writing documents and creating spreadsheets. I really like the fact that is so fast and light to use, compared to for example the newest versions of MS Office, which to me seems like getting bulkier every year. I only need the basic features, so I didn't dive really deep into the features. But I am sure that an average user can get very far with LibreOffice.

The software offers everything that I expect from an "office" type of software combination. It is lightweight, and that is great especially if running on a machine with an older processor or not much memory. Also, there is a certain feeling of "older" MS Office versions, so if you are looking for something like that, this software is a good choice.

I guess the user interface could be a bit more modern, some like it, some don't. I don't mind. I don't really have any issues or dislikes regarding this software, even though you can't even expect perfection for this price. Overall, great product.

In the last months i have been testing different Linux distributions, leaving Windows i had no longer their Office package and i needed a new software for Document management. Once i installed Kubuntu i found LibreOffice extremely helpful, trustworthy and intuitive.

I'm very satisfied with its variety of options, inside this software everyone can access databases management with LibreOffice Base, presentation creation and edition with LibreOffice Impress, general text document creation with LibreOffice Writer and even calculation and information analysis with LibreOffice Calc. It automatically saves the progress made every several minutes preventing progress loss, what's more, it has a feature for data recovery that allows to continue any assignment or document as it was left before any accidental occurrence happened. Their format compatibility provides helpful overall usage and saves time as file conversion is no longer needed. You can export text documents as pdfs or odt formats which tend to be more common among MacOS and Linux users. As a work environment their user interface is very customizable, making it highly flexible for reading oriented tasks as well as document producing ones.

One relevant downside is the fact that it lacks mobile app deployment, what may result tedious if the personal mobile phone is closely related with work activities. Nonetheless, for Desktop-centered activities it proves to be highly reliable and efficient.

Libreoffice is a great free alternative to Microsoft office or 365. It has almost the same features though different icons and ways to do things so there may be a little learning curve if you normally use Microsoft office. Few more steps to save it into Microsoft formats, but it is amazingly useable and feature rich for free.

It's totally free and open source and it gets regular updates which is awesome!! It is close enough to Office suite that it can be used as a great alternative to Office if you don't want to pay for it or didn't get it included with your computer.

The most annoying thing is saving documents into office file types. You have to actually export the document and then pick from the many file types. If you have just save it saves it into LibreOffice's own file type which when sending it to clients they don't know what that is or how to use it.

I have been using the software in parallel with microsoft office since 2013 and since the older versions I have been satisfied with the functionality of the program, which is definitely clearer than the new versions of microsoft office.

We use the software on Linux computers (due to faster data processing). The financial savings are great, we saved a significant amount on licenses, which could be invested in other software. Thanks to Linux, another advantage is the processing speed, by which I mean mainly the base and calc program.

In its current form, version 6.4 can be criticized, the software is completely comparable to Microsoft Office, support also works without problems. The only problem is that employees have to learn it (mostly they know microsoft office).

I mostly are using this software for documentation controlling for our technical operation documentation. Creating various type of document like text and spreadsheet file is doable with this document.

I really like all the tools for creating a text document that are offered by LibreOffice. No registration needed to start using the software, and the file size is not too big preventing from using much RAM resource from my old computer. Not only compatible with Linux, its also work well with my windows operating computer.

There are some of the feature that is quite hard to use and totally unnecessary to be included, like the Vlookup tools that i still can configure what exactly the function of this tools.
