Hancom Office vs Microsoft Office - Recommendations?

[LuvrGirl]

I just purchased my S6 and I'm debating between installing the stock Hancom Office 2014 or should I go for the Microsoft Office Free edition?

I don't do much document/spreadsheet editing aside from maybe a couple edits here and there. The spreadsheets I open/edit do contain formulas that are of a budget type spreadsheet - nothing fancy or complicated. The documents I open/edit are nothing fancy either and I like to use the Find feature and Copy/Paste. Both documents and spreadsheets contain password protection on opening.

Pros and Cons anyone - or just a simple recommendation?

Thanks!

I would try Office free first and see how you like it. I am using Excel and Word and they work fine for my use.

I purchased my S7 Edge about 3 months ago after having the S5 Active. Hancom (South Korean company) comes pre-installed and they've been very popular outside USA. For very basic editing they are equivalent. Same for stability. Hancom has been around as a Microsoft alternative for many years so I would say it's a reliable product. The US also has great relationship with South Korea so I would generally trust the company with non sensitive data.

This might be a feature that makes your decision for you... Not sure if both platforms implement this. I never use password protection so wouldn't know. Keep in mind that document password protection is a very weak level of security on your data.
