"The Best Competition for Microsoft!"
5/5
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

As I know it, LibreOffice is basically Microsoft Office Suite all in one, but with even more! The editor is hands-down far superior to Works, in my opinion, and their Excel tye data program also has more for me and is more user-friendly. The whole suite is more user-friendly and updated more often... but the best thing is it is free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

On occasion, it makes my screen go black but always comes back in a minute but that has not happened lately with new updates. Also, it is really just for Desktops and laptops and I need it for my tablet. I, however, have been using the program since the inception of Open Office and don't really write on my tablet anyway.

"Libre Office is Perfect!"
5/5
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

Microsoft has joined the cloud, and LibreOffice has not. Libre office continues to improve its features and functionality, even though other freeware products do not. It is very easy to maintain and install, and all of the documents can readily be shared with others using a myriad of products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

The only downside I have experienced while using LibreOffice is in their Writer product.

I write letters, other documents, and also information which will be placed on the web. While I can view it as a formatted document for printing or view it as a web document, it does not save this way, and the document will always load formatted for printing. I would really appreciate it if how the document is viewed is saved as part of the document, so when retrieved it will be in the proper format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's an open-source application similar to Microsoft suites, featuring equivalent formulas"
4.5/5
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

This application is completely free, without any licensing fees, and open source. It supports all formats, including those produced by Microsoft or Google Sheets, and has its own format, the open document spreadsheet (.ods). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Unlike Microsoft or Google Sheets, it lacks online options for saving and sharing, automation, or online integration. While its formula support is good, its key shortcuts are fewer in comparison to Microsoft suites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LibreOffice review from Chico Natural Foods Co-Op"
3.5/5
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is basically like a free version of Microsoft office, I like that the spreadsheets are intuitive and easy to use, they also have a great feature that allows multiple people to work on the same document

and there is a messaging interface that lets you leave questions for your collegues, who are working on the same project/spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

sometimes LibreOffice can lag a bit or run slow when you are first getting things started. Also, because its free/shareware there are a lot of updates to install, I think its worth it to not have to pay for office 365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
