Being that the software is free and open source, it's an excellent ethical addition to the workplace especially during a time where pirated software can be frequently found in the small business world. > > **Cons**: Compatibility between MS Office and GSuite can be dicey sometimes. Most use cases are fine and not worth worrying, but if you do a lot of work with importing and exporting data and need a consistent way to edit/parse it, LibreOffice may not be your best initial choice for the workplace. LibreOffice can also be slow depending on your computer; a lot of the stuff that is trivially quick to do in a program such as Excel can be a little bit of a crunch with LibreOffice's equivalent. > > Overall, LibreOffice was a very nice and useful tool to have in the office, before transitioning to GSuite. The features in LibreOffice are more powerful than GSuite, generally speaking, and there are far more use cases. However, the likelihood of incompatibility or data corruption when transitioning between LibreOffice to other similar software is a little bit higher, even if it can be negligible. That said, it is still a fantastic choice of software, and it's up to you to determine whether or not the pros balance out or exceed the cons. I believe it's worth a shot\! ----- ### "A Great eBook Creation Software" — 4.0/5 > **Margaret** | *10 October 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use LibreOffice to secure my course ebooks after creating them in Microsoft Word. They offer more functions than Word to protect them from being copied I also use it to create short ebooks for my courses, art and to sell digital information. It's a great and diverse tool for ebook creation. > > **Cons**: Although I'm able to make the ebook text documents created in Microsoft Word secure with passwords and disabling functions, the right margins are sometimes cut off. > > I've been using it for over three years. It has a great editor with many functions. There are regular updates with improved features. It's not any more difficult to learn than Microsoft Word, but it's not the same, so it took me a little time to learn the functions that I needed. ----- ### "Good program for creating documents" — 3.0/5 > **Agata** | *17 March 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Libre Office is free to use and good alternative to MS > > **Cons**: Limited in options compared to MS and the document does not open on some devices > > A good alternative for creating simple documents ----- ### "LibreOffice is a great multi-platform offline document editor/generator" — 5.0/5 > **Abhik** | *21 April 2021* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: LibreOffice supports most of the features of a modern document editor/generator. Unlike MS Word, LibreOffice is multi-platform and supported on most modern operating system like Linux, Windows and MAC etc. Further, LibreOffice is completely free and open source. > > **Cons**: LibreOffice doesn't support wrapping text around the table, which is supported by MS Office. This often leaves blank space around tables. I want to see this feature in the future version of the software. > > LibreOffice is a great free document editor which let us quickly create and edit documents on any platform. ----- ### "Great free office software but not perfect" — 4.0/5 > **Ben** | *21 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that LibreOffice was free to use and helped our clients, of which were non-commercial, to perform their office tasks at ease without paying to higher licensing companies. > > **Cons**: I did not like some conversions of document formats and the layout of some menu items. > > The overall experience with LibreOffice was almost perfect and very minimal complaints. ----- Page: 1 / 91\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2035027/libreoffice?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2035027/libreoffice) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
