Overall Satisfaction with LibreOffice

LibreOffice fills in the gaps where I need a spreadsheet and/or word processor which are fully compatible with other file formats current in the industry. Unlike Microsoft, I can easily just setup LibreOffice on a computer without paying a cent and get users going with this quickly and easily. I really appreciate the work that has gone into LibreOffice as a cohesive system.
  • spreadsheet
  • wordprocessor
  • presentation
  • Presentations format is not fully 100% MS compatible
  • Importing MS Word documents is very very close but not perfect
  • document format interchange with other office tools
  • spreadsheet formula language that makes sense
  • Zero cost for office tools, improved bottom line
Cost and security. I trust what's on my machines, not what MS is doing with my documents.

LibreOffice works perfectly for the type of situation it was designed for: desktop, offline office tools. It should be noted that it does not specifically do things the way MS 365 or Google Docs does: it does not utilize the internet and make things available like that to others who are collaborating. I think the whole store-and-edit-on-the-internet ideology is overrated and more gimmicky than having a shared folder and users who can edit documents. I see GDocs and 365 as security breaches at best and nefarious at worst.
