Used in Linux operating systems (such as Ubuntu) and in the most recent versions of Windows. Very good alternative to the Microsoft Office suite,

Pros

It meets our current needs in the company in terms of writing documents and creating and presenting reports in spreadsheets and because it is open source you can use it without restriction allowing you to save money on the purchase of licenses; its key point is that it is multiplatform and besides being lightweight you can use it without consuming many resources.

Cons

When saving you have to use the MS Office format to be able to share a document, the user interface needs a good update as it is not as striking, it does not have the option to save to the cloud as MS Office does, it lacks integration with the MS Office suite so that when you migrate a document it does not lose any functionality.

L'ho usato per diverso tempo ma quando ho visto che alcune funzioni avanzate o formattazioni saltavano (tra diversi PC) ho preferito altro

Pros

La soluzione migliore ed alternativa ad excel. Ha una logica molto simile ma a volte un po' macchinosa. In ogni caso di altissimo livello

Cons

Solo alcuni problemi di compatibilità con PC che non hanno calc

Un software di produttività estremamente performante e utilissimo in ufficio per sostituire Excel in modo efficace. Ricco di funzionalità e con un'interfaccia semplice e intuitiva. Molti formati in esportazione.

Pros

Interfaccia ottimizzata, programma molto performante, flusso di lavoro fluido, molti formati in esportazione.

Cons

Praticamente nulla, qualche incertezza con file molto grandi.

Cons

It doesn't open the latest MS Office .\*x files, and it's much more out of date then the equivalent LibreOffice Calc

A good, free option for spreadsheet software.

Pros

Being free is a key advantage here. Filetypes from other software such as MS Office (Excel) can be imported easily, but Calc also integrates with the rest of Apache's OpenOffice Suite too. The software's functionality itself is great too.

Cons

It can be difficult to do some very specific tasks, although this is often due to being used to / familiar with MS Office / Excel, and therefore needing to make small adjustments to allow for this.

Probé a dejar de utilizar de un software de pago muy conocído por las hojas de cálculo Calc y he de decir que si te acostumbras no te acuerdas de Excel para nada .... Una maravilla y gratis

Pros

Me parece que ser software libre es su mayor ventaja. Teniendo muchas funcionalidades idénticas a otros software de pago.

Cons

Es posible que la adaptación de otro software a este no sea la más sencilla por qué te acostumbras a funciones que son algo diferente y puede costar el cambio pero después es genial.

J'utilise cette suite pour mon travail d'enseignante, notamment pour la production de flyers et d'affiches car les fonctions de dessin sont très abouties

Pros

Apache OpenOffice Calc est une suite de productivité efficace et polyvalente qui permet de créer de nombreux types de documents, de la feuille de calcul à la présentation multimédia. Très facile d'utilisation, intuitive, complète et totalement gratuite, cette suite réunit dans une seule et unique application, les outils essentiels au traitement de texte, au calcul, au dessin et à la présentation. Par sa polyvalence et ses multiples fonctionnalités, Apache OpenOffice Calc répond aussi bien aux besoins des particuliers qu’à ceux des entreprises.

Cons

La rubrique Aide n'est pas très développée et les fonctionnalités du programme sont moins avancées que celles de certaines autres suites professionnelles payantes. Par ailleurs, le logiciel rencontre parfois certains problèmes de compatibilité

Pros

Occupa molto meno spazio nel mio PC rispetto agli altri software che ho installato in passato, ma ha tutte le funzionalità che posso desiderare nell'ambito dei calcoli, come il bottone Somma automatica. Inoltre, mi basta un solo clic per esportare il documento su cui sto lavorando in .pdf, anche se è possibile fare lo stesso con molti altri formati, incluso il xls.

Cons

Se il mio documento consiste in più fogli e lo salvo in .pdf invece che in .xls, non riesco a salvare che un solo foglio, ovvero quello che ho davanti in quel momento.
