Overall Satisfaction with Apache OpenOffice
If you have used other products, such as Microsoft Office software, then you know what Apache OpenOffice is all about. Open Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, but... it's all in Apache OpenOffice. You can write documents, work on spreadsheets, etc. If you have had bad experiences with other software providers, find their pricing prohibitive, want to avoid constant updates and downloads, or are worried about big brother spying on you, then Apache OpenOffice has got you covered.
- Spreadsheets
- Word processing
- Price sensitive (it won't break the bank)
- Graphics - I do find sometimes the graphics/icons appear fuzzy even though I have a monster computer (not bragging, just true)
- Pricing
- Opening documents sent by others (in familiar formats - e.g. Word/Excel)
- Familiar or intuitive UI
- Great to use when pricing on other products or software is prohibitive
- Enabled us to work on and send documents and spreadsheets to others in compatible formats
- Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued) and Microsoft 365
They are very compatible and very similar overall. If you can use the one, you can use the other. Layouts are also not too dissimilar. So, transitioning from one or the other will not be a problem. Ultimately, pricing may be your deciding factor, not functionality, which is nearly identical.
