Apache OpenOffice

Free and opensource software that gives you quality management

Opmerkingen: I strongly recommend this software just because it is freely available for use and extension. My company has been using this software since I joined them. I was new to any software like this. But the assimilation was excellent. From academics to my professional career, Apache OpenOffice is so easy to use that the actual understanding takes no time. No formal training was required by me.

Pluspunten:

I love the point that this whole suite of project management is available for free. This feature-loaded software can compete with any paid software. New startups do not have big requirements, for them, this is a good start. Instead of paying extra for other software, We can use all the apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. for free with it. I also marked that unlike other products it does not require much RAM space.

Minpunten:

The design of this software is amazing and robust but the UI is very verbose and dull. Even with other skins, the UI is not much appealing. Users coming from Microsoft Office will face some problems with mouse gestures. Also, cloud-based editing is missing here.

Excellent MS Office Alternative - Minus Some Bells and Whistles

Opmerkingen: OpenOffice is hands down my favorite office application suite. Yes, it isn't the prettiest or the most feature-rich, but it offers everything probably 95% of today's workforce would need, minus real-time editing collaboration.

Pluspunten:

OpenOffice is excellent for a free and open-source office application suite. It offers all the essential core functionality of MS Office for the low low price of absolutely free! When I was a student and began my career I was using OpenOffice exclusively. If offers excellent capabilities right out of the box and is available even on Linux (my preferred operating system).

Minpunten:

The lack of an online collaboration feature really is the only reason I had to switch away from this with my company. It's a much-needed feature, especially at this time, with everyone working remotely.

Excel not very efficient, Word much better

Pluspunten:

It is free software, so you have to start from this premise. If a person doesn't need to use Office every day for work, that's fine too. Using the word processor Word is also very good. A little less Excel, as it has significantly reduced functionality compared to Microsoft's product and it crashes on different operating systems, many functions are not clear and difficult to find

Minpunten:

Surely the Excel spreadsheet program should be improved

Free AND compatible

Opmerkingen: It is a great free alternative to Office and is good if you need to install on lots of machines.

Pluspunten:

It is able to be used to view and modify existing .doc files and .xml files. It is completely free and is easy to download use and distribute.

Minpunten:

It is a pretty boring visual layout and the latest office product file formats do not always work.You must save the files locally.

Best Office Software

Opmerkingen: Very reliable. Always works with any document from any office software. You will always be able to open a document from your colleague.

Pluspunten:

This is by far the best free office software. Being open source, it is built by passionate individuals who all want the same thing. No bloatware, no malware. Pure productivity goodness!

Minpunten:

Sometimes feels a little unrefined compared to commercial options. The design is a little dated too.
