We use it daily for word processing, article construction, publication writing, and all of our spreadsheets.
This software is very user friendly and meets the word processing and spreadsheet needs of our company. This software saves us time and money and to continue interacting with other businesses seamlessly. Because so many people use Excel we simply work on OpenOffice and reload to Excel with very few changes necessary. We use this daily for in house use and when working on projects for customers. Having to chose between OpenOffice and LibreOffice (both based on the original OpenOffice experience), there is very little to discuss: the second one is the only alternative you should consider.Ĭomments: We found OpenOffice years ago when we were first starting out and needed an alternative to spending thousands of dollars on Microsoft Excel. Also if a strong community is still existing, it has majorly moved to LibreOffice project, a suite which is the choice if you are looking for an (inexpensive) alternative to Microsoft. Its development has not been updated in the last years, if not for minor updates, and community support is falling down. Actually Apache is the owner of the project, and also if it is still free, I wouldn't recommend to spend a second on it. Its vast number of developers around the world made it easy to find solutions to your problems in any language, and to install flawlessly a wide number of plugins.īut the situation changed in 2010 when concerns arose around the management of the project. It has been THE alternative to Microsoft Suite for many years, and at no cost. I have been a daily user of OpenOffice since its earliest versions. The lack of support and the creation of LibreOffice made it a deprecated solution, unless you are already a user who doesn't feel confortable with changes (but you would feel much happier with LibreOffice from minute 1). Comments: I've been really happy with it (some concerns with some specific version, but nothing that couldn't be resolved downgrading to the previous one.
