Utilities providedīoth of these suites come with basic office productivity tools such as a word processor, spreadsheet manager & presentation maker. All the basic tools are right in front of you, which makes it preferable over FreeOffice. I personally liked LibreOffice as I don’t have to switch to different tabs for finding different tools. The workflow is very smooth and both of them are quite easy to use. They load up very fast and don’t lag at all. They are lightweight, consume lesser resources and operate very smoothly without any hiccups. In terms of performance, both of them out-perform Microsoft Office. It has smaller icons for the commands which makes it easier to find the required tools. The colour scheme is kind of monotonic and pale. It resembles that of Google Docs, having a single tab for all the basic and most frequently used tools. OnlyOffice: There are no known OnlyOffice community events, the project rarely attends traditional Open Source gatherings or presents outside of business conferences.On the other hand, LibreOffice has a very minimalistic UI.Collabora plays an important part at these events, giving talks at many and sponsoring some. You can read about all the good things we’re doing around the world from Japan to Brazil and everywhere in between: in the annual report. LibreOffice is backed by The Document Foundation – a vendor neutral non-profit (Stiftung) incorporated in Berlin, Germany. LibreOffice: has and attends many community events from conferences to hack-fests each year.Commits are only from OnlyOffice employees, with no community contribution. OnlyOffice: 13 contributors to the core.LibreOffice: hundreds of contributors, from all over the world.Ownership: Collabora Productivity is controlled by Michael Meeks (UK) and Philippe Kalaf (Canada)Īscensio System SIA (registered in Latvia) has a single beneficial owner Lev Bannov (Russia)Īs an interesting aside, the name R7 is derived from the world’s first intercontinental ballistic thermonuclear missile which also launched Sputnik.Ī numerical view can help to contrast the trajectory of these two code-bases. Proprietary – built with some Open Source components open source code with opaque proprietary binaries. R7-Office is a Russian version based on the same software and shares development resource to meet Russia’s Import Substitution requirements. OnlyOffice is created primarily by a team in Russia, development is done in-house and the open portion of this published periodically. This gives great distributed robustness against pandemics and political risks. Collabora Productivity is headquartered in the UK, with staff working in the open from around the world (but primarily in Europe), from home. Where does your software come from? Is the development process transparent? Can you see the code you are installing? Here is a comparison table to help you decide. It is always a good idea to know your suppliers and where they are based. An HA setup can reduce the number of points of failure, but in the event of any failure having all of the servers coupled by so many shared protocols from database, to NFS, to a message bus – brings great potential for cascading failures. It is unclear if Ascencio provide licensing and supported versions of Postgress, Redis, RabbitMQ – or if this must be purchased and provided separately. OnlyOffice requires access to an HA RabbitMQ message bus.OnlyOffice requires access to a HA postgress database cluster.Each OnlyOffice node requires access to a shared, HA NFS server.OnlyOffice requires a separate Highly Available(HA) Redis frontend.Collabora Online requires only a standard, basic Linux base-system to run on top of.Ĭontrasting the situation with OnlyOffice, we see a perplexingly more complex environment (in as far as we can understand the documentation):. ![]() Collabora Online regularly saves documents to your existing storage.Collabora Online requires no third party services except of course it needs to connect to your existing file-storage solution.Each node is ultimately stateless and needs only limited local storage). ![]()
