Considered Both Products	Apple iWork Pedro Coelho Partner Chose Apple iWork iWork is fairly complete and does a great job on the usual tasks related to creating presentation, worksheets and documents. Its major drawback is the lack of interoperability in non-Apple systems. For Apple users (iPhone, iPad and Mac) it is the recommended solution for the … Incentivized Helpful?	WordPerfect Office Terry Ingoldsby President Chose WordPerfect Office OpenOffice is great because it is free. For people on a budget you can't beat it. No question that WordPerfect is the superior and more powerful product, but not an option for everyone. Oddly, OpenOffice seems more capable at working with Microsoft Office format than … Incentivized Helpful? DW Donald Wall Principal Chose WordPerfect Office 365 is an excellent integrated suite of programs; I just much prefer WordPerfect to Word. Unfortunately, most of the support programs for lawyers are designed to work with Word and not WordPerfect, which has prevented me from using litigation support software. I don't care … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WordPerfect Office WP Office allows simple, intuitive document production with minimal training. NO STYLES REQUIRED! However, very powerful features are available if needed. Incentivized Helpful? DR David Reese Owner Chose WordPerfect Office The biggest drawback of WP Office is when using MS Office files. The more complex ones don't always format correctly. I prefer Quattro over Excel by a large margin. It has better tools and it is easier to use overall. Incentivized Helpful? Richard Baroniunas Owner Chose WordPerfect Office WordPerfect is the ultimate word processing application allowing documents and manuals to be developed quickly. The issue, for the most part, is providing a document to the outside world since most people have Microsoft Office you will have a tough time. Incentivized Helpful? Riva Schwartz Office Manager Chose WordPerfect Office Prefer WP to MS Word. Incentivized Helpful? Herm Harrison Vice President Chose WordPerfect Office LibreOffice is free. It's hard to compete with that for a home user or fledgling business. It's not as polished or as powerful for word processing as WordPerfect Office, but wholly adequate for most users. The same holds for the other office applications. Microsoft Office is … Incentivized Helpful? Linda Behrman Director of Membership Chose WordPerfect Office WordPerfect Office is not a product like Blackbaud's products, but it does work very well with them. Merging documents from Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge is accomplished very easily through WordPerfect Office and allows better options in many cases than when merging with Microsoft … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WordPerfect Office I have used Microsoft Office extensively as well as Google's suite of office products. I think that Microsoft is more versatile overall; from Powerpoint to Excel to Word, as well as Outlook, it has the whole office pretty much covered. WordPerfect is a very strong word … Incentivized Helpful? Heath Achatz Street Outreach Coordinator Chose WordPerfect Office WordPerfect and Microsoft Office are two very comparable programs. Word really is better than WordPerfect in every area other than the ultimate control over formating that WordPerfect gives you. If you are not converting documents that are 20 years old, Microsoft Office is the … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Apple iWork	WordPerfect Office
Likelihood to Recommend	iWork is suited for those in the Apple ecosystem. It is specially recommended for those who are already familiar with Apple apps. If cross-platform interoperability is needed, I use iWork + Google products. Usually I build the docs in iWork and present using Google products on the PC, when no Mac or iPad is available. Incentivized Pedro Coelho Partner Read full review	If you are negotiating a document, using WordPerfect can be a problem since so few people still use it and while it is easy to save a .wpd document as a .doc, the reverse creates all sorts of formatting mayhem. However, WordPerfect has great page numbering options and easy macro/template creation. Incentivized DW Donald Wall Principal Read full review
Pros	Presentations with animations and links to other docs or web pages Worksheets & charts Documents & e-books Training materials Incentivized Pedro Coelho Partner Read full review	WordPerfect Office makes merging documents very simple and I can do more elaborate merges easily. WordPerfect Office's reveal codes is a major plus! I have used it so many times to find extra coding in a document that is creating problems. Incentivized Linda Behrman Director of Membership Read full review
Cons	iWork could use same pencil tools available in Apple Notes Add capabilities similar to Apple Notes to edit or markup PDFs Incentivized Pedro Coelho Partner Read full review	Quattro Pro, wholly adequate, but beginning to lag Excel No integrated eMail program. Database (does anyone use these anymore) hasn't been updated in years. Incentivized Herm Harrison Vice President Read full review

Alternatives Considered	iWork is fairly complete and does a great job on the usual tasks related to creating presentation, worksheets and documents. Its major drawback is the lack of interoperability in non-Apple systems. For Apple users (iPhone, iPad and Mac) it is the recommended solution for the tasks above. Apple has been improving the product over the years and should continue to do so. Incentivized Pedro Coelho Partner Read full review	OpenOffice is great because it is free. For people on a budget you can't beat it. No question that WordPerfect is the superior and more powerful product, but not an option for everyone. Oddly, OpenOffice seems more capable at working with Microsoft Office format than WordPerfect. Incentivized Terry Ingoldsby President Read full review
Return on Investment	Since it is a free product, it saved me money in comparable products Incentivized Pedro Coelho Partner Read full review	Dealing with outside clients that may not have WordPerfect.
