Spotsaas Editor’s POV

LibreOffice is a free office suite that works well for basic document creation, spreadsheets, and presentations. Before shortlisting, verify that your team can open and edit your existing Microsoft Office files—LibreOffice handles .docx and .xlsx files, but formatting occasionally shifts on complex documents with embedded objects or advanced macros.

"Next to perfect office suit"

What do you like best about LibreOffice? Well, the most attractive aspect I found is that it is free! It is open source and is available on all the platforms be it Linux, Mac, or windows. Also the quality of software is excellent. The compatibility of MS office created files can be a bit clumsy, but most of the time it does its work nicely. Also it is a complete suit, so you can get all the office softwares easily. It has almost anything an office software should have. What do you dislike ...

"Excellent tool for your office work"

What do you like best about LibreOffice? The fact that LibreCalc can handle literally a million datasets and is needing no extraordinary hardware to do that. With other office tools I had serious problems like crashes or an extraordinary long waiting time when working with such a big database. And of course it is free forever. And although its free the support is very good especially the healthy community around the tools. What do you dislike about LibreOffice? Working with this program is ...

"The Awesome Open-Source MS Office Alternative"

The interface does look rather dated compared to the modern Microsoft Office. Recommendations to others considering LibreOffice: If you're familiar with the 'real' Microsoft Office then you already should know basically everything that you would need to know in order to jump right into libre office. Just keep ...

"High functionality low support"

What do you like best about LibreOffice? The software literally has every functionality that i need. Almost replicates microsoft office, minus the licensing. Extremely helpful to save down coats. For a fresher, using and learning libre office is easier than Microsoft word, as word had loads of features that are unnecessary for a newbie . Its a great way to save costs on licensing when basic features are required such as viewing and sending .XLS/.DOC files which do not use highly specialized ...

"All the power of MS Office with a price tag of free"

What do you like best about LibreOffice? Comprehensive Office suite for free with constant updates from the open source community. Easily opens all the Office files I need to work on. The constant updates are important as the the original OpenOffice project appears to be dead in the water. What do you dislike about LibreOffice? Once in awhile there may be some compatibility issues but they often get fixed in updates. Some of the commands and such aren't quite the same as MS Office so you ...
