The moment we get a new laptop into our company out goes all the bloated Microsoft ware and on goes Libre Office. it is the smoothest way to get up and running for the least amount of cost.
Pros
Syncs perfectly with MS files
Works equally as well as MS
Love the intuitive interface
Cons
Updates should be more obvious and easier to implement
Some drop down menu choices are difficult to find, they're not identical to MS apps
It would be nice if it defaulted to current MS operating systems when choosing "Save As" for files.

I only have experience with calc and writer. It's perfect for my own line of work, which is writing and project management. Where it is less appropriate is for people who need to collaborate heavily with others in the cloud. I'm pretty sure there isn't an online version of it right? But even if there was I love having some control over keeping LO on my desktop.
LibreOffice is being used as an alternative to MSOffice. Our whole organization uses it. It simplifies the word processing aspect of our firm.
Pros
Very user-friendly.
Compatible with other programs.
Cost of entry.
Cons
Easier help function.
Better PDF integration.
Likelihood to Recommend
LibreOffice is well suited for any firm/organization that has a background in MS office. It is less appropriate for those starting out in the word processing field.
