Research Assistant Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/11/2025 "Collaborative LaTeX editing experience" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? Overleaf makes creating LaTeX documents simple and efficient. I love the real-time collaboration, which is perfect for working with teammates or advisors. The built-in templates for research papers, resumes, and reports save time, and automatic version control ensures you never lose progress. It’s also great that everything runs in the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? Some advanced features, like full version history and GitHub integration, are only available in the paid plan. Large or complex projects can also compile a bit slowly at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Overleaf solves the hassle of installing and managing LaTeX locally by providing a cloud-based platform. It makes collaboration seamless since multiple people can edit the same document in real time without version conflicts. The automatic backups and version history give me peace of mind, and the wide range of templates saves time when starting new projects. This has greatly improved my workflow for research papers, reports, and presentations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing which i like about overleaf is the "effectiveness in its simplicity". Literally, on a simple white piece of paper, with only one or two font style and some bondings here and there, it will give the best alignment which you have been looking for. The systematic sections, many users working on the same Latex document from the overleaf,easy to use (like the resources are installed aldready, you just have to write the code!), there are so many benefits when it comes to overleaf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? Not many dislikes, but yes, whenever i tried editing my code, well having saved my code 30 min ago, got me worried as internet breakage may cause data loss. Not the fault of the site, but surely we must maintain internet connectivity. Also, we might face complexities in writing the code at the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? As any student requires their resume to be perfect, this site will surely make it happen. Also, the template searching makes it easier for the work to be done. You can be an expert in Latex coding as well. When making reports, IEEE papers, overleaf is key to go with. Mainly, real time updation feature, meaning whatever changes you make, it gets reflected in your document within a second or two, that is, you can see whats happening with your document, is it erroring out, or need any additional changes, also making your fellow team mates to look into this when working on a project, and you can download the document for free as much as you want!

What do you dislike about Overleaf? - There is nothing I dislike about it but I would like it more if we can view multiple parts of the document in different tabs/windows. Sometimes I want to compare things and need to scroll! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I have been using Overleaf since 2019! I am a Math graduate student so I write a lot of latex. Overleaf makes my latex documents easier to access!

The track changes function. It's a life-saver to now be able to edit collaborative manuscripts and have the changes tracked. Before I had to export the .tex file to word, track changes there, make changes in Word, then convert back to .tex to comntinue working in Latex. This was a very involved process and lots of things needed to be changed by hand. When Overleaf incproparted the track change feature from ShareLatex, it was a game changer and I now exclusivly work in Overleaf on Latex files, and have the paid version so I can have collaborators on the files and track their changes. Having my Overleaf files saved to Dropbox is the icing on the cake, as that way I have a backup and do not have to trust one cloud service with my important scientific manuscripts - I always have a back up without having to do anything. That's how technology should be - easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? Can't do latexdiff between two latex files in overleaf, so I haven't been able to see how. So I still have to do that locally, but thanks to the overleaf-Dropbox integration I have the latex files locally and can hence easily run latexdiff from the terminal on files I want to compare and then copile the diff.tex file in overleaf without having to download or upload anything manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Collaborativly work with co-authors on scientific manuscripts, and track changes they make. In an easy format so even non-latex literate co-authors can just edit the text Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrating with the reference management software such as Zotero Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? Learning curve! It took me some time to learn the basic features, and I'm still learning; I haven't finished yet ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? For me, Overleaf makes writing with LaTeX a lot easier. It offers helpful suggestions and writing aids, plus it has a huge collection of templates for different purposes. This is great because it works with universities, like my school, Ecole de Technologies Supérieure (ETS), and even has specific templates for things like thesis writing. This means I can start my work in the right format right from the beginning. Also, it lets me see my work as I go with real-time debugging and compiling, so I don't get any surprises when I'm done.

Overleaf offers a wide range of professional templates designed by its users to choose from and most of them are ATS friendly which makes the whole process of resume building quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? For a few issues in the latex code, Overleaf doesn't provide a proper error description to analyze. There have been times when it took a long time to find the error and fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Most resume builders on the net don't generate an ATS friendly which leads to far fewer interview offers as a result. Also, many sites are not so flexible in customizing the resume.

Intern Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/17/2023 "The best Latex editor in the market." 5/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? Overleaf makes Latex editing, which is pretty tricky, easy to learn and execute. I had to make a resume and a thesis using Latex and didn't have any experience in latex editing, but I didn't face many problems while doing so on Overleaf. Overleaf also shows a side-by-side comparison between your Latex code and the final product, which my case, was a pdf file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? While Overleaf provides a side-by-side comparison between your latex code and the final product, the change is not simultaneous; you have to save the content to see the difference in the final product, which is quite time-taking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? Overleaf provides the auto-completion feature for free to all users, which is very helpful to those new to Latex. It is also straightforward to add content, like headings, sections, subsections, and images in Overleaf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
