## Reviews

### "A great alternative to MS Office" — 5.0/5

> **Adriel** | *10 August 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For the cost of an internet connection and the time to download, one can get a whole office suite that rivals paid alternatives.
> 
> **Cons**: One aspect that needs improvement is stability and speed.

-----

### "Good tool but not sufficient yet for all professional usages" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *10 August 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Onlyoffice looks nice, is fast, and is pleasant to use&#10;It works pretty well with MS Office documents (as long as there is no usage of features or formatting Onlyoffice does not support)&#10;Onlyoffice works well as remote and concurrent editor.&#10;A desktop version is available for offline works.
> 
> **Cons**: Unfortunately far to be full-features in my opinion&#10;No way to manage document fields.&#10;Bad management of templates.&#10;Some unbearable bugs (e.g. rename a sheet and you'll lose all inter-sheet references)&#10;Rather buggy overall.
> 
> Onlyoffice is a pretty good alternative to MS Office or Libreoffice or other as long as you just make simple documents (or spreadsheets or slides) .&#10;Though, its current limitations makes it unfortunately not really usable when you have "serious" professional documents to do. We still use Libreoffice.

-----

### "Make it more easy to use for everyone" — 2.0/5

> **Simri** | *10 August 2021* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Another one but we still need it make it work not yust another rip off software
> 
> **Cons**: Like i always say make it more easy not yust a rip off

-----

### "Office solution for document collaboration" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 July 2021* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Quite easy to use (especially the cloud version) and use.&#10;There are both on the Microsoft platform and iPhone, iPad.&#10;It is possible to connect cloud services to store information and your hard drive.&#10;There is a free base plan for use in the cloud.
> 
> **Cons**: There are many flaws. Some files just don't open absolutely rondomally.&#10;Large amounts of data are neither downloaded nor downloaded.
> 
> OnlyOffice is a whole set of services, a modular system.

-----

### "The ideal document management software for programmers" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 July 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The option to add extensions such as functions for programming and math is very helpful, creates a specific and productive work environment. ONLYOFFICE has a clean toolbar, making it quite minimalistic and appealing at first sight. Its features are intuitive and it counts with a desirable general deployment.
> 
> **Cons**: In my view the user interface could be more customizable, it might result uncomfortable for some to be unable to drag or remove some features that are not needed. It my experience it was a bit slow to function, although i must admit that my PC had a low RAM and out of date hardware in general; this means that maybe newer computers might take full advantage of it.
> 
> I find ONLYOFFICE Docs trustworthy and efficient, it delivers what is expected.
