It is a great value for the free plan, easy to use due to familiarity and has all the features I need for my business. > > **Cons**: The constant upgrades can gum up the system, and the formating doesn't always translate into other files. > > Very satisfied with this alternative to OFFICE, which handles about 90% of everything I need for productivity. I am in the TEXT document every single day multiple times, and use the Sheets function every morning. I've used it for several years and am very satisfied with this software. ----- ### "Great, affordable Microsoft Word alternative" — 5.0/5 > **Damon** | *19 May 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The freeware setup gives as many options as Microsoft Word. > > **Cons**: Saving documents requires additional steps to make them compatible with Microsoft Word. > > A great, affordable alternative to Microsoft Word. It requires extra effort to save the documents to make them Word-compatible, but the rest of the experience is smooth. ----- ### "Good program for creating documents" — 3.0/5 > **Agata** | *17 March 2025* | Human Resources Software | 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 ----- ### "A low-cost office suite for use in our school district." — 5.0/5 > **Katherine** | *31 May 2026* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Document management software, free software to do everything we need to do with our records from students records to curriculum plans. Parents are able to submit, teachers can open with no format problem. Setup on 30+ computers is free. None of the budget has to be approved in order to make updates. We use a spreadsheet program to do our attendance and it works well for us. No crashes for our 50-page policy-manual using a Word processor. > > **Cons**: Teachers say that the interface is outdated, compared to what they use at home. Searching for specific functions is more time consuming, it took 20 minutes yesterday to find mail merge. Tech support is nothing more than forum searching. There are some PowerPoints that have been created by district office that will not curve in the correct order. > > LibreOffice fits the bill for a school on a tight budget. Yes, there are features that staff complain about not having, but it serves the purposes of our administration when we need newer textbooks or Office licenses, and we can't afford to pay for it. It also isn't great, but it is good enough to use on a daily basis. ----- ### "Almost as good as Microsoft Pack Office yet free" — 5.0/5 > **Vanessa** | *26 March 2025* | International Affairs | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Almost as good as Microsoft Pack Office yet free > > **Cons**: Compatibility issues with Microsoft are always annoying, but probably unavoidable, since they happen even within Microsoft products ----- Page: 1 / 91\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/158981/libreoffice?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/158981/libreoffice) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
