Overall Satisfaction with LibreOffice

The moment we get a new laptop into our company out goes all the bloated Microsoft ware and on goes Libre Office. it is the smoothest way to get up and running for the least amount of cost.
  • Syncs perfectly with MS files
  • Works equally as well as MS
  • Love the intuitive interface
  • Updates should be more obvious and easier to implement
  • Some drop down menu choices are difficult to find, they're not identical to MS apps
  • It would be nice if it defaulted to current MS operating systems when choosing "Save As" for files.
  • Cost
  • Update frequency
  • Intuitive interface
  • Syncs well with other files
  • This has saved us SO MUCH money! As a non-profit we are forever grateful.
  • We appreciate not getting sucked into the MS app drain on systems and cost
  • It's helped us on a daily basis for over 6 years, we are very thankful for it.
Hated Microsoft and went right back to LibreOffice. The cost, the annoying way it's always nudging you to use their browser and other apps, and the evil genius of Microsoft is something we want no part of.

I only have experience with calc and writer. It's perfect for my own line of work, which is writing and project management. Where it is less appropriate is for people who need to collaborate heavily with others in the cloud. I'm pretty sure there isn't an online version of it right? But even if there was I love having some control over keeping LO on my desktop.
