What I like about ONLYOFFICE is that it allows me to create and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on different platforms without having to install and pay for Microsoft Office. It’s always nice to choose an alternative solution among various options considering their pros and cons. I don’t like software vendors that oblige their customers to buy their products. For me, it’s essential to feel free when using software, and ONLYOFFICE gives me that feeling. Also, I really like the fact that ONLYOFFICE is available on different platforms. Personally, I use a cloud office where I keep all my office documents and work with them in my web browser. Sometimes I use the desktop app to edit and save files locally on my old Linux laptop. Even the mobile app for Android, ONLYOFFICE Documents, came in handy a couple of times when I was on a business trip.

Another advantage of ONLYOFFICE is that it comes with a productivity platform with project management, CRM, email management, calendars and communications tools. In theory, the ONLYOFFICE platform can replace many other collaborative work applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite all its advantages, the ONLYOFFICE editors are not Microsoft Office. That means that it might lack some features that you are used to use in Word, Excel or PowerPoint or they can work a bit differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to work on a document as a team makes things much easier. Above all, the flexibility is unbeatable and far ahead of the competition. We like the almost 1:1 resemblance to Microsoft Office products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excel format conversion... if documents have functions or macros, nothing works properly. Checkboxes and any special features from MS Office Documents works really poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it's open source and quite similar to proprietary office suites. Compatible with Microsoft Office formats, and similar UI/UX. It can be used in the cloud or with a local app, in multiple operating systems.

I also like that you can use the cloud version for free in small teams. It has its limitations but is enough for a lot of use cases. It includes a CRM module, which you won't find in other office suites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It still has a lot of bugs – I've found one in a DATEDIF function that is ludicrous and ruins a specific use of comparing dates to get an exact age – and seems unstable. The cloud version has some issues with large files. Specifications for the minimum optimal system are not clear.

I miss the exhaustive documentation we can find on Google Docs or Microsoft Office. It makes certain specific uses quite demanding, such as the spreadsheet, as the documentation is short, and with few or no examples. Video tutorials could be more specific and focused.

I hate that ONLYOFFICE is capitalized. Why? OnlyOffice looks good, why the all caps? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compatibility with MS Office, Libreoffice and other suites. Great functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The subscription is a little expensive, though the free option is highly functional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price, especially for a home user. It has similar functionality to Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mail merge is not fully integrated. We cannot print any mailing labels (i.e., each label has a different name). It's a bit clunky because not all functions work on the downloaded copy on the computer. You need to connect to Wi-Fi and use a browser for full functionality.

Onlyoffice offers many of the same features and functions as Microsoft Office, but what I like most their GUI, very close to Microsoft office, almost like a clone of the old office 2013.

And of course I like their price, which is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I encounter some compatibility issues with certain file types, especially powerpoint files. Also I find the interface less intuitive or user-friendly compared to Microsoft Office, and Onlyoffice not have as many advanced features as Microsoft Office, so if you need more specialized tools, you may need to look elsewhere.

Coming from MS Office, I almost feel like home as the design of the interface is very close. It can open many file formats and save to a lot for different formats too. Really easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
