This is what we offer you here, the free open-source alternative that is thought to be the new OpenOffice. LibreOffice includes a spreadsheet creator, text edition tool, presentation creator, graphic editor, formula creator, and a database creation tool. In short, it offers (for free) exactly what Microsoft Office offers for. It's also possible to examine their overall score (9.2 for Apache OpenOffice vs. 9.3 for LibreOffice) and overall customer satisfaction level (96% for Apache OpenOffice vs. 97% for LibreOffice). Spend some time and compare your leading choices and determine which one is best for your company.

LibreOffice / ˈ l iː b r ə / is a free and open-source office suite, a project of The Document Foundation.It was forked in 2010 from OpenOffice.org, which was an open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice.The LibreOffice suite consists of programs for word processing, creating and editing of spreadsheets, slideshows, diagrams and drawings, working with databases, and composing. I had the same problem starting LibreOffice 5.2.0 in OSX 10.10 Yosemite on a 2012 Mac mini. I opened it with right-click/Open to bypass Gatekeeper. Stuck verifying, CPU at 99%. Stopped it after 20 minutes or more when memory showed 16 GB in Activity Monitor. Downloaded it again, the.dmg compared identical to the first one. Tried LibreOffice 5.1.5. 6.4.6 This version is slightly older and does not have the latest features, but it has been tested for longer. For business deployments, we strongly recommend support from certified partners which also offer long-term support versions of LibreOffice. LibreOffice 6.4.6 release notes.
