It lacks some import/export functionalities and maybe some reporting capabilities.

"One of the best open source project management application"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

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.

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

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.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Review of Project Libre"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

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.

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

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.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Good to have ProjectLibre"

This is a simple, efficient and free download program. Fit my work.

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

I used to use Microsoft Project. ProjectLiber has fewer features relative to Microsoft one.

"ProjectLibre is so far the best GUI multi-platform open-sourced gantt chart scheduler."
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

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).

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

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.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Scalable software- from small to large businesses"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

I could not find a reason to dislike this software.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is a global community software and is helpful in project management. It is an open source replacement for Microsoft Project desktop.

"Really great Product"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

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!

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

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.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am the owner of my business, and the soleemployee. The savings, especially compared to buying something like Microsoft office, is significant.
