[Download] Bitdefender for Mac is easy to purchase, easy to install, and regularly blocks all manner of viruses, malware, and malicious websites. Who could as for anything more?

[10 Users ] Word and Excel features work fine. No compatibility issues.

[10 Users ] SoftMaker Office seems to be a straightforward non-subscription and cheaper replacement to Microsoft Office. Needed a decent program suite to edit and save all my Microsoft Docs (Word and Excel). I know there are free open source alternatives, but I was more comfortable working in SoftMaker vs them. It is working well so far and is very familiar to use coming from Microsoft Office. SoftMaker Office doesn’t have has robust review tools built in as Microsoft Office does. However, it didn’t seem like the extra grammar review alone was worth the additional money for the full non-subscription desktop Microsoft Office purchase to me.

[10 Users ] I wanted an affordable, perpetual alternative to MS Office (since my 365 was ending), so I decided to give this a try. So far so good. Opens MS Office documents just fine and does an excellent job editing them. B&H makes the purchase process a breeze. I'd highly recommend both this office suite and buying it from B&H.

[10 Users ] Despite what you may hear, Macs are harder to crack into but they are still prone to getting a virus and mallows attempts at hacking into your computer. So far this software has stopped a lot of trojans from entering my MAC. The Mac people will say you don't need it. Honestly, you really do need to have it and this one works very well- Built for the MAC - it works well with the MAC. Not expensive either. WORTH IT!

[Download] I've used a number of other Mac word processors and spreadsheet apps over the years, but I've always had to keep MS Office on hand for the simple reason that I work with a lot of other people who use it, and our documents have to be compatible. SoftMaker Office has changed that. It's designed to be a feature-complete replacement for MS Office, and for the most part it achieves that goal. In TextMaker, the only things I miss are the ability to view tracked changes and comments by specific reviewers and/or by type, to view the original document before changes, and to compare documents – all of which are pretty specialized features. I'm not as intensive a user of spreadsheets, so PlanMaker has everything I want and need. I never create PowerPoint-type slideshows, so I can't comment on Presentations. I've found a few bugs but they're extremely minor, and SoftMaker support has been extremely responsive to my e-mails, to the point that one of the bugs I reported to them has already been fixed. These are not native Mac apps, so some keyboard shortcuts etc. are different, but they're stable and fast and much smaller on disk than their MS equivalents. All in all a very solid alternative to MS Office.

[10 Users ] I use this limiter between my second set of monitors (Bose/Polk setup) to make sure during mixing I do not hit my Stereo Amp too hard! It works great!

[10 Users ] Work with Linux. Is not MS Office.


While that could be my whole review, I will expand and say it works well, fair price, does all the functions I need it to, and does not have all the BS subscription stuff. Also, while I love supporting and using open source, I personally like the interface/usage a little better than Libre Office.
