In recent years, options like Google Docs have become popular for a simple reason: being a free alternative to Microsoft Office. Although Microsoft’s tool is the absolute leader in office software, many users are not in favor of paying a subscription in exchange for access to that alternative. And this, combined with the fact that Google’s tool requires almost continuous internet connection to enjoy its services, has led many users to discover a very interesting option: OnlyOffice.
As reported by the French portal CCM in a recent publication, the main advantage of OnlyOffice is that it is a modern, efficient and free office suite that has been able to replace the Microsoft alternative in work, home, and school. Thus, it has begun to take the place of LibreOffice, the most popular free option that, unfortunately, has started to experience compatibility issues with the most modern Microsoft Office files. And this, combined with the elegant and tabbed organized interface of LibreOffice, has fueled its rise in recent weeks.
It does not have all the advanced Office features
Thanks to its capabilities, OnlyOffice is compatible with the docx, xlsx, and pptx formats, a feature that significantly reduces display problems and format loss compared to other suites. Also, like Google Docs, it also offers multiple users the option to work simultaneously on a document with collaborative editing features, comments, change history, and even access control. In terms of its tools, it includes the following four:
- A text editor
- A spreadsheet
- A presentation program
- A PDF form editor
Among its advantages, there is one that stands out above the rest: in addition to being free, it is compatible with all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS). However, it is worth mentioning that it does not have all the advanced Office features, but it can cover most users’ needs. Therefore, it is suitable for both students and professionals, as it offers a set of modern tools and functions that manage to satisfy most needs both in work and academia.
