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. ----- ### "I couldn't be happier with my decision to switch." — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *27 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: LibreOffice is a fully featured office suite that competes well with similar Microsoft and Google products. But, LibreOffice is free, making is the best value available. It is as easy to set up and learn as any other software without all of the security doubt that comes with browser based software. Navigation of the Office suite works just as expected due to it being available on every platform for the same cost...$0\! > > **Cons**: LibreOffice is not laden with AI tools, which could be a pro, but it also doesn't offer much in the case of writing assistance. Customer support for LibreOffice is only handled by the open community. File organization is strange in the Linux version, but that is to be expected. > > LibreOffice is the best alternative for those switching from Windows to a Linux system or for those who no longer want to pay the ransom fees that Microsoft imposes for Office 365. I couldn't be happier. ----- ### "A free alternative to Microsoft office" — 5.0/5 > **MATTHEW** | *20 March 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: A free alternative to Microsoft office that does it all. > > **Cons**: There's not a thing I didn't like about it > > At one point I needed a free alternative to Microsoft office and I googled it, tried it out and never looked back. ----- ### "Offline and Fast" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free and works offline. I often need something that can make quick edits, and the loading time of the programme is very good. > > **Cons**: I'm not sure that it has the best interface and can be frustrating to use when you are more familiar with another type of software. > > It's a great piece of software if you want something that works offline and isn't trying to shove AI into your process. ----- ### "Excellent software for people who do not need Microsoft Office to work with others." — 5.0/5 > **Andy** | *1 August 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great tool for small businesses on a tight budget. Though it is a free software, it has many of the features common to Microsoft applications. > > **Cons**: The slight differences in macros and function shortcut keys commonly used in Microsoft takes a little getting used to, but they are not hurdles that cannot be overcome. The lack of a dedicated staff, is the one major drawback because issues are addressed as people want to work on them instead of from a targeted plan. > > In using the software over the last 3-4 years, I've found it a great alternative to Microsoft Office and I appreciate the fact that it is constantly being reviewed and updated by the developers that volunteer their time. ----- Page: 1 / 91\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/75846/libreoffice?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/75846/libreoffice) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
