What OSes do you use? What field are you in? Do you share documents outside the company? How much do you use comments, especially @tagged comments? Do you need versioning? Fo you need collaborative editing? What file storage do you use? How much do you all author documents, presentations, spreadsheets? Do your users use laptops directly or do they use keyboards and mice?
But really, probably none of that matters. If you think Google Workplace is too clunky, you’ll never be happy with LibreOffice. Just get O365 and get back to work. It’s not worth saving ~$5k annually.
For the last 4 years, I’ve been CIO and VP Eng of a now-series B company. We’re at about 70 FTE. We use Google Workspace and O365. We tried to move everyone to Google, but we couldn’t do it. As you noted, there’s just too much missing from it.
- gtf21 4y agoI think I was probably not clear in my original post, because you're not the only person to mention this, but it's really not about cost for me (I will happily pay for LibreOffice support, fixes, and donations) -- I'm on Linux, we're a construction tech startup, and yes we share _lots_ of documents, do a _lot_ of collaborative editing, and I would quite like to have versioning but we don't actually use that very much. Sadly O365 seems no-go on Linux :(
