Today, an attempt to use Office 365 in all enterprises crashes simply because the price of the license still bites. Yes, there is no real alternative to this package, but there are variants of software of a different format. At the moment, the top-3 used office programs looks like this:

Even today, the new version of office programs Office 365 has surpassed even the most daring expectations of analysts, and brings Microsoft a billion dollars a year.

1. Microsoft Office 2013

Most often, users install Microsoft Office 2013, because the owners of the software package from 2010 had the opportunity to download this update for free. This package is good, at least, in that it contains the largest number of office applications for the development of documents of any type. Also, Microsoft Office 2013 is notable for the huge library of templates, the ability to download additional information from the official Microsoft website. At the same time, the absolute majority of owners of Microsoft Office 2013 uses only 10% of its real capabilities.

Microsoft Office 2013 is good for everyone, except for high demands on computer resources and license prices exceeding 15,000 rubles. Actually, both 32 and 64-bit versions of the package are the standard of office software, which is used by almost all developers.

2. Microsoft Office 365

By and large, it does not differ in functionality from its "fixed" version, but it works quite differently. Microsoft Office 365 is distributed in a subscription format and is an example of cloud technologies. Despite the fact that this tool is more expensive, it occupies a high place in the TOP, because it allows you to work collectively on documents of all types. Among other things, the cloud version of the software has access to the SkyDrive repository and permanent backups to Microsoft's servers.

3. LibreOffice v.4.0.x

Cross-platform package LibreOffice v.4.0.x was originally intended for the Linux operating system, but it has long been available for Microsoft OS versions XP and older. This package also supports MS Office formats, however, due to the assembly features, users constantly have difficulties when working with office format documents that have undergone a complicated formatting procedure. In principle, if you do not work with MS Office files, but only create your own, there will be no difficulties with LibreOffice v.4.0.x. However, this option is difficult to call the choice of professionals, so LibreOffice v.4.0.x takes only third place in the TOP.
