ProjectLibre Pricing Overview

Is very easy to handle, navigation around the gantt chart and a very intuitive way to add activities and create and easy to follow environment to our activities on field. On our planning aspects we can add from the staff and the cost a project may have, and the possible scenarios to it. Also we can handle the time invested on any work we want to do and the balance cost - profit to evaluate the benefits of our company.

The software stills a little rough and is kink of difficult to add new activities to a complete gantt chart of a project, already defined. When we tried to add some activities, which happens all time on projects development, we tried to add as a new project, is much easier.

I solve all the projects my company address on the last year, since keeping track on the projects we are doing on our company, following the costs and the hours we dedicated on each projects is very important to keep the record and see what areas to improve our behavior, such as design and administrative phase of the project.

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.

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.

I love the layout of the software, it's very intuitive and getting better all the time. It's easy to contact the developers and their feedback turnaround is quick. The open source spirit is very positive and uplifting.

I have not figured out how to use the software within a team project that does not work regular hour shifts very effectively. Say, for example, i n a situation where a team puts in volunteer hours as they can, or when they can...

The charts and reports are wonderful to demonstrate visually to stakeholders in a glance and helpful to the team to see the overall picture of a given project.

Has many similar functions to MS Project and is a good alternative for small projects where you don't need the office suite integration. Compatible with several versions of MS Project. Although I've not used it on other platforms (MAC OS, Linux) it has the capability. The learning curve was easy since I had past experience with MS Project.

Does not appear to have all the functions that I had with past software but since it's open source they continue to add functionality. Have not tried it using the same project file with multiple users yet, so that is still a concern for the future.

We are a small business so an open source software that covers most of the major functionality we need allows us to limit our cost of deployment.

Free and open source. Rapidity of creation. Diagrams are automatically created You can use all the main management diagrams needed like PERT, management of tasks and resources. It allows you to rapidly see what key points you'll have to clear during the project.

Lack of flexibility and strange behavior of the interface. Not always well scaled for the Gant diagrams for example. Lack of personnalisation (Color of the typography / highligh) which can make it difficult to organize things visualy when you have a lot of tasks going on in your project. Not very easy to share with co-workers. The menu and interface is quite old though, not very attractive which affects its user-friendliness.

Time management and resource management during project. Keep track of the progress in time and manage costs. Anticipating problems of organisation.

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.
