Recommendations to others considering OpenOffice Base:
There is a learning curve to use the features. It is not the exact same as Microsoft Office and the documentation is not as robust as Microsoft Office. It's not as complete as Microsoft Office, but it has all the core features necessary to complete the vast majority of productivity tasks related to business in the IT industry.

What problems is OpenOffice Base solving and how is that benefiting you?
While I am awaiting a license for Microsoft Office from my employer, I am using Open Office to allow me to work with company documents and remain productive. I utilize the Writer and Calc Applications daily. I am able to proceed with almost all functions without having Microsoft Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
