I would recommend other users who have not used Libre Office to use it before purchasing other competitor Office applications such s MS office which is pricy. Pros Libre Office is free to use on any platform of PC, what I like about Libre Office is that it consist of the 4 major applications that MS Office would charge a fortune in this day in age; Libre Office has word, powerpoint, excel, and Access; In Libre Office the application naming is different they had it at Writer, Calc, Imporess, Base for data base; even though the naming of the application is different compared to MS office or Google Applications, Libre Office has the same features as you would for writing a document, making a powerpoint, creating excel sheets, and developing a database; same features but FREE. Libre Office makes it easy to use and there is no need to learn tutorials on how to use Libre Office because I have seen the same generic icons across other applications. I am using Libre Office in my day to day activities for work purposes as well as to open and view client docs and financials and etc. our systems team has installed Libre Office in our servers so we can easily open and view documents mostly excel docs. Cons I have not had any issues using Libre Office Review Source SI Silvia I. freelancer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Il mio software preferito in assoluto" December 6, 2022 5.0 Pros La velocità con la quale carica i files, persino i più pesanti, è impressionante; nulla da invidiare a programmi più celebri, infatti uso questo da quasi tre annetti e mi sono sempre trovata bene Cons Onestamente... Mi è piaciuto tutto , è uno dei miei software preferiti appunto perché lo apprezzo al completo. Forse metterei una nightmode/darkmode ma per il resto è ottimale. Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Microsoft word aveva iniziato a darmi problemi, impedendomi così di poter trascrivere i miei documenti importanti; ho cercato un'alternativa e mi sono innamorata di libreoffice Review Source GP Giuseppe P. Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Suite di produttività completa e molto funzionale, ottima alternativa a Office" April 26, 2023 4.0 La suite è stata installata su alcuni vecchi PC aziendali con poche risorse hardware e non connessi alla rete, in sostituzione ad applicativi Office che richiedevano requisiti maggiori e connessione internet. Il software si è rivelato funzionale, snello e stabile, con minimi problemi di stabilità solo su fogli di calcolo molto corposi. Può sicuramente sostituire una suite non recentissima di Office in gran parte delle attività più comuni. Pros Software molto snello e intuitivo, ottima interfaccia, necessita di poche risorse hardware, ampia compatibilità con i principali formati MS Office, non richiede connessione internet. Cons Non può essere paragonato ad una suite come Office 365, ma si avvicina molto a versioni meno recenti. Non supporta le macro nei fogli di calcolo e su file molto grandi può dare problemi nella fluidità dello scrolling. Alternatives considered [NextGen Office](https://www.capterra.com/p/31268/NextGen-Ambulatory-EHR/) Reason for choosing LibreOffice Maggiore notorietà del software. Switched from [WPS Office](https://www.capterra.com/p/126794/WPS-Office/) Eravamo alla ricerca di una suite più leggera per PC vecchi e poco performanti. Review Source BA Belizario A.

Lo utilizzo molto spesso su pc su cui non trovo software di elaborazione testo o o foglio di calcolo a pagamento e devo dire che non ha alcun che da invidiare. Facile intuitivo e molto utile per chi non ha voglia di spendere soldi in suite che offrono lo stesso identico prodotto. Creo File di testo in modo semplice e veloce un pò meno per i fogli di calcolo ma dopo un pò di tempo si prende la mano senza problemi. Lo consiglio vivamente. Non ne resterete delusi. Pros Il punto di forza di questo Suite sta nel fatto che è totalmente gratuita e non ha nulla da invidiare alle competitor del campo. Molto facile sia da installare che da usare Cons L'unico inconveniente che ho trovato e che se devo salvare un file di testo per inviarlo ad un altro utente, collega o persona qualsiasi che non abbia lo stesso software devo stare attento all'estensione in cui lo salvo in quanto aprendolo con un altra suite ad esempio microsoft, alcune volte potrebbe non aprirlo o addirittura sconvolgere alcune parti del testo o funzioni se si trova su un foglio di calcolo.

Pros I most liked about this software is sharing and handling feature with easy access and storage manage. Cons I list like about this software is it's interface as it looking old , can be update it's view for Ubuntu users. Review Source YoYo F. Co-Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Open Source version of Microsoft Word" February 14, 2021 5.0 It's Microsoft Office with it's older user interface that we are all used to. And it's free. There is no need to pay hundreds for Microsoft Office when LibreOffice does the same thing but free. Pros It's basically the free, open-source version of Microsoft Word. I have been using it for over a decade now (back when it was called Open Office), before Google Docs even came out. If you need to open a Word document that Google Docs can't open but you don't have Word, LibreOffice is great for that. Cons It doesn't open word doc format perfectly all the time. There are still some marginal differences some times. Which is okay, it is not expected to. But it can be great if that could be done. Alternatives considered [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/)[Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) Reason for choosing LibreOffice We still use Google Docs for the collaboration and most of our documents are stored on Docs. But sometimes you need something to be done in Word, and that's when we use LibreOffice. Switched from [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) Enterprise software at enterprise rate is a little too expensive when there are better free options avaliable.

December 20, 2021 5.0 I use LibreOffice to rewrite some articles I need from time to time or to send inquiries to my clients and send them via mail. Pros First of all, the software is free for usage which makes it perfect for work since most of the users of similar programs don't use more than 30% of it's features. Cons The cons of LibreOffice are that it's not super snappy as it's competition but regarding the price you won't ever complain. Sometimes the user interface becomes laggy or when I send a document via mail, it displays an empty page at random. I don't know if this has something to do with settings or the software itself. It feels annoying but I really don't care cause I'm super happy with a free software that does the job perfectly well. Switched from [WPS Office](https://www.capterra.com/p/126794/WPS-Office/) Because LibreOffice is free and does the job perfectly well. Review Source Opeyemi O. English Teacher Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "libreoffice review" December 5, 2018 5.0 Pros This document editing app is simply the best i have ever used. i came across this application as an alternative to the mainstream software when i decided to try Linux and since then i have never gone back. The software is lightweight, easy to use, feature rich, a plethora of helpful options and most of all, it is free. Open source; this software as against the other popular options does not make its users wait a very long time for updates and the regular updates that comes to this software is as a result of how other people with software development knowledge can add features they thought are missing and on and on it goes until the software gets to the very top on the chart of document editing softwares. Spell check integration; what makes writing fun on the libre office is not only the fonts and the many options that aids productivity but also the spell check integration and the uniqueness of this spell checker is the fact that it is not only limited to the writer app, it can be judiciously used in every of the softwares embedded in the libreoffice suite. Cross platform support; finding out that libreoffice is not only limited to the linux operating system heightened my interest even more as having it on the windows platform and on macos means i can do away with the paid alternative i had been putting up with for years now. Cons is there something i don't like about this software? The answer is no, i love every bit of it as it handles all the task i throw at it as a writer. Review Source AB Alessandro B.

Owner Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best totally free standalone software office suite and good alternative to Microsoft Office." August 5, 2021 4.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Alternatives considered [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing LibreOffice I chose libreoffice because it is totally free and almost as good as Microsoft Office. I use google sheets if I need something edited by 2 people at the same time and need collaboration. I would choose Microsoft office if you got it free with your computer, but if you built your own computer and it has a clean version of windows with now office suite and you don't feel like paying for Microsoft office then definitely get Libreoffice it is almost as good as Microsoft Office and is totally free and is open source.

Et très contente de la partie ''redaction de documents'' car on peut tout modifier et mettre les marges en fonction de nos besoins (document texte, flyer, écriture de roman etc) Pros La gratuité es une chose, et c est top. Ensuite, la suite Office propose globalement les mêmes expériences d utilisation que MS Office, tant pour la rédaction de documents que pour les feuilles de calculs ou encore tout ce qui est photo et gestion de documents! Cons La partie feuille de calcul que je ne trouve pas aussi instinctive et ''similaire'' à Ms Office. M adapter a ce visuel la a été compliqué pour moi Review Source Aminuddin B.

Creating various type of document like text and spreadsheet file is doable with this document. Pros 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. Cons 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. Switched from [WPS Office](https://www.capterra.com/p/126794/WPS-Office/) WPS is not feature rich for some of the tools. Review Source JJ Jose J.

Pros Es un programa básico, como si usaras el MS Office de 2003, una interfaz parecida, un poco menos parecido a ese estilo aero, pero con las mismas funciones y prácticamente la misma organización, por lo que si usaste esa versión, con LibreOffice estarás como en casa. La gratuidad para cuando tienes que cambiar de ordenador frecuentemente y ninguno tiene MS Office, hace que no te tengas que gastar una fortuna en el mismo programa una y otra vez, ya que no todos tienen internet y por tanto no me sirve el Office 365. Cons Un diseño un poco más moderno, no tan anticuado, así como una mejor organización de todas las opciones, como hay demasiadas opciones, no todo se puede hacer a base de shortcuts, y en los menús hay submenús de hasta 4 niveles desde el principio, algo terrorífico si no sabes bien donde tienes que buscar.

Definitivamente lo recomiendo ampliamente. Pros La principal ventaja es que LibreOffice es un software para todos, no necesitas gastar miles de pesos ni te obliga a contratar paquetes forzosos. Todas las herramientas que necesitas estan en el software para ti. Recuerda donar si te parece grandiosa esta herramienta. Cons La interfaz grafica quizá no sea a la que uno está acostumbrado, pero cuando lo empiezas a usar, te acostumbras rápidamente.

June 26, 2023 5.0 Desde un inicio no le tenia mucha confianza al programa LibreOffice ya que creía que este no poseía todas las características a otro programa que he usado por años, pero esto no fue mas que una ignorancia por parte mía. Pros A diferencia de Microsoft Office, estamos hablando que este programa ha sido creado con la finalidad de dar uso de software gratuito a demás usuarios en todo el mundo.

Great free and opensource alternative as I said before to MS Office Pros \- One of the major benefit of LibreOffice is cross platform availability because it is available on Linux, Windows and Mac. Because I am a Linux user so I am using LibreOffice since long time and it has great features just like Ms Office does - Completely free and full feature which is a huge plus. Also Ms Office documents can easily be opened and edited using LibreOffice too - A huge opensource community uses LibreOffice and because of it there are a lot of templates available for Word and Impress (MS PowerPoint equivalent). - It also supports free plug-ins ans using these plug-ins core functionality can be extended - You can convert documents to PDF very easily like on one click which is great especially because its totally free Cons \- On opening MS Office files sometimes little layout issues can occur for Word and Spreadsheets - No Outlook and OneNote equivalent available which is kind of an issue for Linux Users like myself - For MS Office users or other beginners it can be difficult to learn some of the advanced features of LibreOffice Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Document Management](https://www.capterra.com/document-management-software/)[Content Management](https://www.capterra.com/content-management-software/)[Productivity](https://www.capterra.com/productivity-software/) ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
