Battle WPS Office Premium 10 vs. SoftMaker Office 20018 (paid versions)

[mamamia]

I need to know what is the best choice (I use Windows 10).
Between both, I look for the program with the best features and the best compatibility with MS-Office documents.

I think it will be better if you install the trial versions of both the softwares and try to open a few office documents with each of the both apps.

The question is for the people who have used these 2 products and have experience with them.

I use a Linux distribution and therefore SoftMaker Office 2018, because it is compatible with Linux and better than LibreOffice.

First of all, don't expect that this product can save and read files in the MS Office format without any problems. For demanding documents, Softmaker could not always read the MS Office document ideally (e.g. text misplaced, image not in the right position). This could be problematic if you send documents to other people who use MS Office.

But I have to say that this program (and Google Drive) are already the best in reading MS Office formats, and no MS Office clone can read MS Office formats so well.

If that doesn't bother you, I think this product is the best MS Office clone.

WPS Office opens and saves all files without any problems. I use it for a long time and I do not have any difficulties.
Everything works flawlessly.

For complex documents, any problem?.

I have used both of them, some documents open properly in one and some in other. The problem actually arises when a document has lots of formatting along with table, graphics etc. Its really difficult to say which one will do better. The latest version of Softmaker works quite good, though I don't have experience with the latest one of WPS.
