GanttProject

BEST GANTT SOFTWARE AVAILABLE!

Comments: I'm a longtime user and I'm so proud to see this freeware still available to people to use. 9/10!!

Pros:

Honestly, I've been using this freeware program for MANY years and has helped me prepare gantt charts for many things, including but not limited to, detailed production schedules for film projects. I've also used it to create a development schedule for a mobile app I'm involved with. It's pretty easy to use once you understand the basics of gantt charts and you'll never use another program again. The best part is I've been using this software for a long time and have never had to pay a cent to use it. Can you say that about other similar products out there that have the same features? SIMPLY AMAZING. I'm so happy to see this company still up and running and wish them nothing but the best as we move further into 2018. Give it a shot, you have nothing to loose, literally. 9/10!

Cons:

Nothing. It's free. It's simple. It's awesome. OK... if I had to get "picky", I'd maybe say the one thing that could make this better would be if they had an online version where you can access your gantt charts anywhere on-the-go. Other than that though, nothing to complain about!

Very Powerful Open Source Project Management and Schedule Software

Pros:

Cons:

We are using desktop versions and editing common files in cloud storage so there is the risk of overwriting files and losing work.

My review of GanttProject

Comments: Overall, I have a very good experience with GanttProject. It is easy to use and offers great flexibility in project management. The planning, tracking, and reporting features are very helpful and save a lot of time. I highly recommend this software to anyone looking for a simple and effective tool for long-term project management.

Pros:

I am particularly impressed with its ability to create Gantt charts very quickly and effortlessly. This feature makes it easy to plan all the tasks and subtasks of a project for a complete overview. It makes planning and organizing complex projects very simple and convenient.

Cons:

What I don't like is the lack of flexibility in customizing reports. While the report customization options are good, it is not possible to further customize the reports to meet specific user needs. This can be a disadvantage for advanced users who have very specific report needs. However, this does not prevent the software from being very effective for long-term project management.

GanttProject a basic alternative to manage a project

Comments: I have done five small projects with the tool, it has been useful and excellent at the level of expressing the goals of those involved, the participants, the time of development of each task, activity, types of associated deliverables and the participants of each of the activities , level of responsibility and hours of dedication, really that is very useful in terms of the general visualization of the goal.
Unfortunately I can not automatically define in this software the levels of resource overload, the critical path of the processes and the possible bottlenecks of the process.
In general, the software is good and practical at your level.
I can define and design a project for free and manage the main structure of the project, share it with the people involved and they can deploy it by installing the tool in any existing operating system

Pros:

If you want to create or manipulate a Gantt chart without having to pay for the license of a commercial program, this open source program is a good option because it is easily manipulated, the menu bars are very similar to other programs aimed at managing of projects and instinctively you get what you're looking to develop. It is universal since it allows you to import and export files made in MSProject and CSV, with the software you can perform the PERT without problems, although the graphic representation is very generic and unattractive, the performance of the program in projects of academic or small scale is outstanding. You can install in Windows, Mac and Linux, It has good compatibility. It is free download, although the developers appreciate some donation, very suitable for students, universities, companies that handle small projects and little staff. Does not consume many computer resources, the software weighs only 14MB.

Cons:

It allows you to allocate the human resource and time, but does not perform complex analysis of those components, you can not easily identify who is overloading tasks, where is the critical path? What processes are the bottlenecks? The design is very primitive, lacks development, but it is like that small car that allows you to reach the goal at a moderate speed The printing of the diagrams is cumbersome, you must work with care in the design of the printing area, the software is associated more with the visualization than with the printing of reports. GanttChart is not compatible with the spring XER format, it must be passed through MSproject

GanttProject is a powerful, free project scheduling and management tool that helps me stay organized and on track with my projects. I love that it allows me to break down my tasks into smaller, manageable pieces and set deadlines and milestones to ensure that I'm meeting my goals. It also helps me keep track of resources and costs, which is important when managing a budget.

I do not dislike anything about this product.
