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.

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.

Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/13/2022 "Overleaf for LATEX produced documents" 5/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? I absolutely love Overleaf. When I got to know that something like LaTeX existed, I was confused on how I could start programming and compile my code. Overleaf came to the rescue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? Something that I dislike about overleaf is the lack of dark mode in the editor. I would really love it if they had a dark mode feature to code so that it does not hurt my eyes when I am doing something at night in the dark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? As far as I know, there is no update to get dark mode into the website. I look forward to any and every updates that will come, as they will only help me. I hope they introduce dark mode soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I would have known about Overleaf a long time ago. I came to know about it during my college days when I was creating my first resume. I would like to highlight the following benefits of using Overleaf over any other PDF creator apps, - It supports latex hence writing formulas become super easy. - With a plethora of package support, you can represent your PDF pages in any way you want. - The web UI is pretty straightforward, no background knowledge is needed when using it. - The community has great support and FAQs answers. However, if you can't find your problem you can ask it on the forum. - There are a whole lot of packages that can do basic things like heading, page numbering, indentation, line/word spacing, text font/colouring, etc with just an import of it. - It also supports multiple people who can work on the same project by sharing them via email. - One more way to share the project is that you can download the zip and the end-user can simply import it and use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? I can not think of any bad side or improvements for Overleaf. The developers have already made it very simple to use while keeping in mind that it is used by students and professionals both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using Overleaf to create my resume which I sent to the company for interviews. I have also used it to write my whole conference paper and BTP/MTP project PDF, and I must say Overleaf has made my task easy. Since it is free there is no harm in trying it once. They have also provided relief by buying the premium version during the pandemic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SMTS @ MetricStream Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/11/2022 "Best online tool to make PDF using latex support" 5/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? Overleaf is the most widely used online tool for creating Resume, and PDFs for thesis, projects, and assignments. It supports a variety of features like latex, themes, text colors, pagination, etc. To use any element, you must first import the module at the top of the document. The PDF files created via overleaf are very little in size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? The only thing I dislike about overleaf is the price for using the premium feature. Also, no dedicated software is available, so it only supports the web UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using it to create my Resume for applying to Job portals. On the other side, I'm using it for completing my thesis work and assignments online. It does most of my work by just importing required modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Associate Professor Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/3/2021 "Synchronous Online LaTex Editor with Limitations" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Overleaf? The online feature of overleaf allows multiple contributors in the same project to work on the project simultaneously. It also saves the progress automatically so that you will not lose anything even facing a power outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? The free version of overleaf has limitations about how many collaborators can join the same project and the number of projects that you can share with other collaborators. The paid version is a bit pricy if you consider the fact that there are many open-source LaTex editors out there. The extra function is really the online saving option, which is kind of like Dropbox or Box, but the price is higher for overleaf. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using overleaf for collaborating with other coauthors all over the world on research projects. The projects involve a lot of writing and editing. Previously we use Dropbox to do that but overleaf has the built-in feature of a LaTex editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the workspace and the formatting library. Plus the error-correcting menu is quite helpful. The commands and the interface are quite user-friendly and anyone can use them for documentation purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Overleaf? Though the error-correcting menu is very good a slight flaw in that is that it doesn't signify where the problem exactly is in the whole paragraph. So if you have an error in a large paragraph you have to re-read it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Overleaf solving and how is that benefiting you? I personally use overleaf to write articles and research papers, abstracts for conference papers, and presentation of research data. I have switched to overlead from word and it was a good decision.
