    In my opinion, Apache OpenOffice is best suited for writing, editing and proofreading texts in any language. You can also download additional language packages that really take up little space in your PC's storage. Of course, Apache OpenOffice is comprehensive of spreadsheet-/drawing-/database-related softwares and so on, but I primarily use it for writing and editing my own texts. I don't see any scenarios where it is less appropriate, at least so far.

    Pros
    Apache
    • The number one strength of OpenOffice is the flexibility it gives. We can open any file type, save any file type - it's pretty much invincible. Even if we're going to work on this in a different program, just being able to open some of these ancient files that we get from local city governments is a huge win for us.
    • It's also administrator friendly - I'll use it a lot on the road because the licensing is so much easier to deal with than trying to check out a license from a server or make sure that everybody has internet connectivity.
    • It just looks pretty! It's legitimately a quality product, the layout looks good, it's not nearly as pushy as "other suites," and for the money it's the best!

    Cons
    Apache
    • Some people used to Microsoft products can feel it's a little bit old in its style
    • I saves documents in its native format, which is incompatible with MS Word or Excel, unless you change that in the preferences tab
    • The UI is not very pretty

    It is a cheap alternative; however, with Microsoft 365 licenses also dropping significantly, we might opt to go in that direction to maintain uniformity.

    Usability
    Apache
    It's good overall, just the UI it's not the prettiest, feels like an older version of MS office, but gets the job done. Once get the hang of it it's easy to use, besides it has great documentation on how to use it and there are many forums that discuss many related topics.

    Is there really support? There is a user forum but I do not see much developer input. Support options are limited. The most recent (Sept 2019) version of the product seems to have issues operating under Windows 10, yet there are few recent comments in the community forum, most comments are regarding older versions.

    We found that it is possible to use Open Office to accomplish everything we need. Some tasks required searching for steps on Google.

    Apache OpenOffice is less intense on our computer systems and saves us a ton of financial resources. Since our document creation and editing needs are typical of a small business and not very complex, Apache OpenOffice is sufficient for us. We think that almost any smaller to medium sized business would feel the same way if they don't have a need to make or edit complex documents.

    Return on Investment
    Apache
    • Moving to OpenOffice will save the company the cost of 500+ of Microsoft Office licenses in our company.
    • Because it is cross-platform, we could also save 500+ of Microsoft Windows licenses if we move everyone to Linux.
    • On the negative side, the lack of online collaboration and browser support may be an issue when you use clouds like Box, Workboard etc.
