Amazingly small software but very useful. It is very easy to use. No more procrastination
Wish it can be linked to phone and computer calendar to set up some useful reminder. Not a big deal but sometimes it is needed
Managing my time and project to keep track of the progress. Most of the times the adjustment are needed. It is extremely useful and really make me work more efficiently. I feel I have more time to enjoy my hobbies after using this.
The free trial is two weeks long, and you get a feel for how efficient the software is and if it will work for you. It is multi-user and multi-project. This software features an open source desktop. Soon, ProjectLibre will also feature cloud project management.
I could not find a reason to dislike this software.
This is a global community software and is helpful in project management. It is an open source replacement for Microsoft Project desktop.
I really like all the functionalities offered. The different applications are very similar to Microsoft, and that makes it an easy transition. Also, very cost effective!
The only thing "negative" is that, if you know Microsoft products really well, it can be difficult to located similar options on ProjectLibre. It's probably still there, just in a different spot, and/or with a different name.
I am the owner of my business, and the soleemployee. The savings, especially compared to buying something like Microsoft office, is significant.
The software is easy to use and user friendly. It did not take much time to get a handle of its features. I was able to create time phased budgets and Gantt charts for the first time shortly after installation.
The user interface lacks the visual flair of its competitors but this is a minor issue considering the ease of use/ available features.
ProjectLibre has assisted in growing my knowledge about project management. The benefits is that the software affords me the ability to manage and track projects from start to finish without leveraging multiple pieces of software.
Its very simple and easy to use, more easy than microsoft project, its very intuitive . Has a number of advanced features which are very useful for project management.
its cloud support and collaboration features need some improvement. the GUI could be done more user friendly which will make it very appealing.
I use it for managing construction projects, found the software very useful and made my task very easy to achieve.
This is a great solution to MS Project - I've used it to build schedules for various projects and really like it
The only issue I have is that you can not change the colors
schedule
I you are looking for a good free-purchase software for the tracking and task-setting, as well as resource management, this is likely your option at the time.
Compared with a BIG Project Management software there is a difference on performance and usability as well as exporting the data from one of your projects.
The Fast-Free project management documentation
an easy to use software and friendly interface, no need to read instruction, know to use right away
allowance to zoom in and zoom-out a time frame. Functions allow mouse drag to zoom in a certain time frame
schedule the time. plan experiments and manage to complete the project on time. increase efficiency
What I really like about ProjectLibre is that I can create Gantt charts and project plans.
Printing the charts to show what you want takes a little bit of getting used to.
I am able to create project plans and track timelines.
I like that ProjectLibre is a free project management software that allows me to create project plans and Gantt charts.
The user interface can be better. It is not as easy as others.
I use ProjectLivre to create Gantt charts, project plans, and reports.
This is an adequate substitute for Microsoft project. It’s very intuitive to use.
It requires JavaScript and isn’t widely used.
This helps my colleagues and I collaborate on our projects.
It covers 95% of the functionality that every project manager needs to manage small to medium size projects and you can't beat the price!!
It lacks some import/export functionalities and maybe some reporting capabilities.
All types of projects from small to medium. Quick and easy way to plan, schedule and monitor project execution.
One best feature that it is free to use. It is a cost effective amd a user friendly project management software. Its hierarchial organization of projects is the feature that makes it unique.
Sometimes the application crahes in between and also the work gets lost. Sometimes diagrams also gets messed up and it is almost impossible to reassign all the tasks.
It helps me to decide the budget and the time period required for a certain project. It is easy to use and aslo cost effective which reduces the overall costnof the project.
It is used to manage the infrastructure and progress of the project. We can assign project elements to the team members. The work can be viewed in a spreadsheet. The Gantt chart is handy for users.
It isn't effortless to use for new users. The implementation of the rates of per-person work might sometimes be complex. Freezing of screen is quite often in this application.
It is cost-effective and have a great user interface. The application is supported on many platforms(windows, linux). The linking of the elements to the team members is a very useful tool.
Free, easy to get started with it to aid in project management, lightweight in terms of memory footprint, it has major functionalities and features of similar project management tools.
It does not support Mac OS very well, it does crash sometimes and currently, when i use apple mouse (Air Mouse) to scroll on-screen horizontally, it is not correctly performed in Project Libre.
It is a great free tool for Project Management, and as a user, I have found it very relevant to what is preached for project management by Project Management Institute (PMI) and the likes.
This is an excelent tool, and I love it very much.
I wouldn't say I like only your design and navigation system.
With ProjectLibre I solve my problem with the project manager.
This is a simple, efficient and free download program. Fit my work.
I used to use Microsoft Project. ProjectLiber has fewer features relative to Microsoft one.
It gives me a common platform to work with my client. I do not need my client to buy a expensive software to view my Gantt Chart.
What amazes me from other Gantt Charts is the .mpx format where you can type-in code and still open in ProjectLibre. The printing is remarkable unlike any other. You can adjust scale of the timeline and compressed everything to fit properly into the page(s).
Needs to improve on 1) having a Title at the headers; 2) a legend of symbols of what the bars mean; 3) a faster way/ better design in inputting calendar holidays.
Where to place the Title of the Project for one is nowhere to be found. Although the program is easy to use by a un-experienced user.
What I like the most is that everything related to project management can be applied in a very simple way without the need to load libraries or make advanced configurations as it happens with other programs.
A little more work could be done in the area of the graphic interface to obtain results that are a little more eye-catching for the final presentations of the projects and that are easily understood by non-experts.
Everything related to time and cost management of not very complex projects. However, I did not find the cost analysis part very useful, i.e. breaking down a cost into its parts.
Can read Ms project plans with no problem
Difficult to edit MS files and edited files cannot be read by MS project
Project plans for construction
