"SoftMaker Office is a well-designed office suite
at an affordable price. It is an attractive proposition for all users
coming from Microsoft Office."
Computerwoche 2/07
...
"SoftMaker Office represents an improved, more
powerful Microsoft Office 2003, but built with ease and speed at
every turn in its interface and engine. Most people will want exactly
that, especially those not willing to relearn everything with
Microsoft Office 2007."

filters for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel."

TextMaker
"Imagine taking the best and most-used features
of Word 2003, vastly expanding its document creation power, and
throwing in a healthy dose of perfectionism throughout the user
interface. Forget your imagination and just check out TextMaker. I'm
betting you'll love it because it will never slow you down."

"It's stable, capable, and lightweight, but its
crowning features is still its superior file format compatibility
with Microsoft Word. [...]
So right off the bat, I was extremely impressed
with TextMaker."
softwareinreview.com
...
"In a nutshell: it's fast,
inexpensive, and works
with Word documents flawlessly. [...]
In general TextMaker was a very
enjoyable word processor to use. ... With
TextMaker there is little to no learning curve
if you're already familiar with any other word processing program."
The Jem Report
...
"The speed
with which the program launches catches the eye. The TextMaker
interface pops up immediately
on modern machines, and TextMaker runs smoothly even on older hardware.
TextMaker provides the features you would expect in a
modern graphical word processor.
"The MS Word
document import function worked very well,
importing even complex layouts."
Linux Magazine
...
"With TextMaker, SoftMaker offers an affordable
word processor that provides useful functions which are unknown in
Microsoft Word."
Computer Partner
...
"Perhaps the most appreciated feature will be the lossless
round-trip conversion for Word documents, which worked without a
hitch on all our formatted, footnoted and neat Word documents.
Overall, TextMaker is a true wonder of a program."

PlanMaker
"You won't find a more Excel-compatible
spreadsheet on any operating system, but Microsoft compatibility is
far from PlanMaker's only worthwhile feature.
PlanMaker is both smaller in size and faster to start
than most of the other spreadsheet applications I've used. One
particularly data-heavy test case with a single large chart took only
10 seconds to load, while the same worksheet took more than a minute
to load in StarOffice 7 Calc.
Compatibility with other programs is where PlanMaker
really shines. SoftMaker has a page detailing its Excel
compatibility features. While you have to take a manufacturer's
propaganda with a grain of salt, my own analysis of the test cases
shows them to be completely accurate and as-advertised."
Jem Matzan, NewsForge
...
"The enormous feature-richness at minimal
hardware requirements speaks for PlanMaker as an Excel alternative."
PC Professionell
...
"PlanMaker provides Excel feeling
without the bloat and at a fair price."
PC-Direkt
...
"PlanMaker is a powerful and fast calculation
program with an outstanding price/performance ratio. Quick to
install, easy to learn."
