   ONLYOFFICE vs Google Docs Comments

   Positive comment by Shaz Shah · Nov 6, 2024

   If you do move from M$ Office then the learning curve with OnlyOffice is not that steep, as they try to emulate the style of Office. The tabbed interface between different types of usage (word processor, spreadsheet, etc) is pretty cool. While the feature parity with Microsoft not there, OnlyOffice is very capable and (in my view) pretty much on par with Google Docs, as it can also be connected with other cloud storage providers.

   It's open source and free, and can integrate with many other services like NextCloud

   Negative comment by Guest · May 9, 2025

   Maybe it used to be but now it's all a paid service. Even for personal use.

   LibreOffice - Writer vs Google Docs Comments

   Top Negative Comment by Shaz Shah · Oct 28, 2024

   While I like and appreciate LibreOffice as an alternative desktop office suite, it does not fulfill the criteria for this alternative. It needs to provide an online collaboration experience, which it unfortunately doesn't provide today.

   Peer-to-peer collaboration is on the roadmap, which I'm very eager to see implemented. More info here.

   Comment by Anipe · Apr 21, 2022

   More of an office clone due to the lack of online function

   Negative comment by intp · Oct 18, 2021

   Not really an apples-apples comparison. A more direct alternative would be something like Microsoft Word online or Perhaps NextCloud with OnlyOffice

   CryptPad is both secure AND easy to use. What's not to love about that ? Privacy isn't limited to tech savvy people anymore !
