Real Estate Sales Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the good alternative for document creation" August 31, 2021 5.0 Pros It's ideal for online document editing. I particularly appreciate the new feature because you can access your documents from any location, which is quite convenient and eliminates the need to carry around a USB flash drive everywhere you go. It's also suitable on devices with low storage or about to run out of storage. Cons Poor technical assistance. It took a long time for tech support to respond to my email when I was accessing the system, which caused the installation to be delayed, and it takes a few days for the software installation is finished installed. This is not good. Review Source SC Sarah C. Freelance copywriter Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Never lose (track of) your work again! " July 7, 2023 5.0 Fast, free, and easy to sign up and start using (literally an email, click to confirm, make a password, and login is done) and loaded with familiar and favorite formatting features, this word processing website leaves nothing to be desired except a quick way to word count. Overall, this online word processing website is the way to go. It autosaves likes a beast and no matter where I am or where my laptop is I can ALWAYS access my documents online whenever I need them. I'm fairly tech savvy and find their plugins sadly not worth the hassle, but those who can master them have limitless functions as their fingertips. Regardless of your skill level, this word processor will be your new best friend. Pros ONLYOFFICE is one of the best alternatives to Google Docs and Microsoft Word. It's fast, free, and simple to get started and use. It's layout and formating features will make you forget you're not using a big name brand. It autosaves changes and drafts almost too much, which means you'll never lose your work (like literally ever, it's impossible) but if you're not careful with labeling your drafts (even in multiple open tabs) you'll have to sift through draft saves to find your stuff. I personally love this feature and if you've ever tried to use version/draft tracker on Google Docs this puts it to shame. Collaboration is also a breeze and very undersold for how much effort Google Docs raves about theirs. Use the personal version though, and you'll have to do a search engine for ONLYOFFICE personal but it's worth it. If you've never tried ONLYOFFICE, it's absolutely worth checking out. Cons Their website is clunky although it looks well organized from a cursory glance, it's poorly sorted. It's geared to get you to spend money on their product instead of using the personal version, which is free and fabulous. The search feature works well though. My biggest struggle is that it doesn't word count and although there are plugins with literally limitless functions and formulas, I've tried several times to add a word count plugin both officially form their help support and from search engine result assistance all to no avail. However copying and pasting in to a simple website to count my words alleviates this hiccup. Other than that, no issues ever and this is a top notch product.

August 10, 2021 3.0 Conversion from Word Doc to OnlyOffice throws formatting haywire. Pros Honestly, the cost of it is the only attraction to this software. Cons Functionality. There functions available were so different from other softwares. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) Easier to convert with minimal impact.

March 15, 2022 5.0 We do have the benefit to work together as a team on documents and have control to our own data with the integration with Nextcloud. Pros The most important thing for us is having a graphical interface that is familiar to anyone coming from Microsoft's Office and Word. Cons The are some glitches on the user interface but nothing that would be a dealbreaker. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) Reason for choosing ONLYOFFICE Docs The ability to control our own data was key to deciding to use ONLYOFFICE over the competition. Switched from [LibreOffice](https://www.capterra.com/p/158981/LibreOffice/) The graphical interface is just more similar to Microsoft Word. It has made easy to new collaborators to start working immediately on our projects. Also, the integration with Nextcloud is a must for us in the Studio these days. Review Source DS Daniel S. Principal Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent product for Document Management" August 10, 2021 5.0 My experience with OnlyOffice has been excellent. I have use the product with over a dozen companies with great success. Pros I truly appreciate the ease of use of the entire program. Once personnel, either clients or employees, are familiar with the product, the entire system becomes highly effective. Cons I wish that office products, Excel and Word, would hold their protection from the native environment. At present, protection does not convert when uploaded to OnlyOffice. Also, additional Excel formats would be helpful, such as macro enabled files (.xlsm). Alternatives considered [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Reason for choosing ONLYOFFICE Docs Ease of implementation and cost effectiveness. Review Source LF Lucas F. Financial and Legal Manager International Affairs Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Onlyoffice is the best, easy to use and intuitive docs manager." August 10, 2021 5.0 I’ve been so far dealing with documents and spreadsheets. It’s been very intuitive and I haven’t had any problems with the interface or the massively daily use. Pros The software is very intuitive, very well optimised. Give the users a very focused experience with a very easy to use and friendly interface. Cons Most of the improvements could be done in the file sharing and OS integration. A paid integration option in the same way of Microsoft OneDrive would be perfect Switched from [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/)[LibreOffice](https://www.capterra.com/p/158981/LibreOffice/) I switched from windows to elementaryOS, I also didn’t want to use the Google suit programs as well. So I was encouraged to try libreoffice and disliked the interface. When I tried the only office and all of it suited me very well. Review Source SL Stefan L. Consultant Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid alternative" May 11, 2021 4.0 Onlyoffice is my daily driver. It works on different platforms without any problems. Not a huge install size either. Reliable, functional, cost-effective. Pros Onlyoffice provides a feeling of reliability. It just works. On the web, as a desktop app, on windows 10, on linuex, on android. It may not be the biggest name, nor the fanciest design - but its dependable. Cons There are certain design aspects that could improve. Locations of commands that one may be used to from other programs, certain functionalities that work slightly different. Alternatives considered [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/)[WPS Office](https://www.capterra.com/p/126794/WPS-Office/) Reason for choosing ONLYOFFICE Docs OODocs provides all the functionality, reliability and capabilities reliability across all relevant platforms at a much more feasible cost-benefit relationship.

Pros I like that I can edit my documents, especially the PDF type by this product, it saves a massive effort. Cons The cost is too expensive and the free trial is too short.

Sr Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My work experience using ONLYOFFICE Docs" August 10, 2021 4.0 Being a tool focused on collaboration, I consider ONLYOFFICE Docs to be an excellent alternative to create, edit and preserve our text documents, spreadsheets and presentations. In addition, the project, crm and mail options add an important plus to the suite. Pros One of the things that I liked the most about ONLYOFFICE Docs is the tools it has integrated for projects and CRM, in addition to the fact that its use is very intuitive and the learning curve is very short. Cons Regarding the application of presentations, I think that the number of options for transitions and backgrounds for the slides could be improved. Review Source NG Nir G.

Cons When used to the big players (MS/G) user interface, it sometimes feels a bit clunky to use other software.
