Researcher / Teacher Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/14/2025 "Efficient and user-friendly LaTeX editor for collaboration" 4/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? Overleaf makes LaTeX accessible by eliminating the need for complex local setups. Real-time collaboration, version control, and built-in templates streamline the writing process. The intuitive interface and quick compilation make document creation much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? The free plan has limited features, such as restricted version history and collaboration limits. Additionally, compiling large documents or using custom packages can sometimes be slower or more restrictive compared to a local LaTeX setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Overleaf solves the hassle of setting up and maintaining a LaTeX environment locally, which can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when collaborating with others. It also eliminates version control issues by providing real-time collaboration and automatic saving. This has significantly improved my workflow for academic writing, allowing my co-authors and me to focus on content rather than formatting or technical issues.

Doctoral Researcher Museums and Institutions Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/13/2025 "Overleaf- Simplifies LaTex." 4/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? I love the templates that overleaf offers. Working LaTex is  excruciatingly  difficult  as  it is. Overleaf simplifies it a little bit. Also, most LaTex editing softwares are quite archaic looking. Overleaf's UX  is  quite modern. I love the fact  that  they offer learning material too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? I don't like that it does not point to the errors in the document more prominently and simplified. I have to sift through all the red marks on the document to figure which one of it is causing the document to not compile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Overleaf simplifies and modernises LaTex for me. It helps me start off with writing a lot of my documents because it has a lot of templates. I can only then focus on the content and not sit in frustration about error finding on LaTex, which can be excruciatingly diffifcult as anyone who has worked on it can attest to.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? I have not seen any significant dislikes in Overleaf. The only thing they can consider for improvement: You can share the document with limited number of people. You must purchase the premium version for sharing your paper with more than two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Overleaf: They can add more features to it. Improve the visual features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I used overleaf mainly for proofreading and writing technical documents and scientific papers.

It helped me learn and use LaTex. I used LaTex in my PhD study. I was planning to submit a paper to a technical conference. My paper had a lot of tables so LaTex was preferred compared to Microsoft Word. It may take some time to understand how it works but it is much easier than Word afterwards because you manipulate objects by code and the software will take care of the other things for you. Using code also means you can use Q&A websites to solve your problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? The problem I had with Overleaf is that compiling a document is slow. To solve this problem I installed a local Latex editor on my desktop. Then, I committed the changes to Overleaf using Github desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Overleaf made it easy for me to compile LaTex documents and also to communicate with other team members. In my case, it was my co-supervisor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This of course comes at a cost, including the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Overleaf: Overleaf is most powerful when synced to Dropbox. However, that price involves a $15/mo. subscription, which may not make it worth it.
