Vorteile:

It's a good software for planning and project management I always use it. It's simple and works properly.

Nachteile:

Unfortunately you can't use it for several projects at the same time because the gantt chart becomes complicated and unreadable.

Very Powerful Open Source Project Management and Schedule Software

compatible across multiple platforms and softwares, user interface and

Nachteile:

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

Fits the purpose perfectly

Vorteile:

GanttProject is very effective for the purpose - make a Gantt diagram. It is easy to use and free of charge.

Nachteile:

It doesn't contain so much features as some rivals, but it fits the purpose.

GanttProject a basic alternative to manage a project

Kommentare: 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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Great visio alternative

Kommentare: great choice for most projects. Simple and quick to get up and running and users dont necessarily need a depth of knowledge on PM tooling.

Vorteile:

simple to use, does all the basics well easy onboarding

Nachteile:

some of the form behaviour is a bit different from visio but a small learning curve. It might struggle within very large enterprise projects with hundreds of contributors - i havent tested

A promissing software that lacks proper support

Kommentare: I had strong expectations from GanttProject. I've played around with it many years ago, and I was hoping to find a more robust and solid tool for my professional needs, but I ended up with a tool that promises a lot but delivered only a few.It's a very good software for personnal projects and tasks management, but I won't be using it professionally.

Vorteile:

The best thing about GanttProject is the fact that it's been around, multiplatform and free for many years now, and it comes with a strong community.It's easy to find tutorials and/or support on the existing features, making it very accessible to anyone who would like to try Gantt Charts organisation for their own project.

Nachteile:

GanttProject is lacking a proper bug management, at the moment of the review, there are many bugs related to the management of time off that makes the software almost unusable for a proper and professional management.It's fine for small teams, and projects, but as soon as you want to expend to large range of teams and employees, with various holidays and time off, it doesn't deliver, and the tool becomes almost unsable.

Can't beat what you get for a free cross-platform Project Planning Software

Kommentare: I used to use Gantter, but then they started charging. I have tried ProjectLibre but it is a bit steep of a learning curve. This software hits what I need which is free and simple to use. This gets the job done everytime for my 3 month customer projects. I only use about two-three resources which makes my planning a bit simpler. The webpage export is great as is the png output. Makes it easy to share.

Vorteile:

I am mainly a Linux user and this software along with ProjectLibre are the only Gantt Software I can find that isn't web-based or charged for. This is very easy to get up and going and export a simple project roadmap for customer review.

Nachteile:

The UI is still probably a work in progress. I don't really mind that much but it doesn't blow you away. There are not tons of features, but has everything I use. I am not a Project Manager though.

GranttProject Review

Vorteile:

GanttProject is very easy to setup and use

Nachteile:

To simple and not easy to track resources

A great tool for most project work

Kommentare: Ganttproject is easy to get into, and it has a lot of really good features that you would normally only find in more expensive software. The updates are regular and it is highly stable in both Linux and Windows. I use multiple operating systems and it never crashes.

Vorteile:

Ease of use, import of MS Project Files. Flexible roles and other features, so you can get it as you need it. Drag and drop alteration of dependencies and delays.

Nachteile:

Only one project open at a time, report format is cumbersome and not very editable.

An easy way to make gantt charts

Kommentare: Ease of visualization and simplicity.

Vorteile:

Easy to create tasks, you can create dependencies between them and you can include elements such as costs, differentiate tasks by colors, define their duration among others. You can easily see the progress of each task or the project in general.

Nachteile:

This program is very easy to use, however it still has some defects when it is running, a disadvantage is that it does not allow the printing of the diagrams pert. It does not allow to see free days assigned to specific resources within the Gannt chart.

Simple and functional

Kommentare: The software serves me well, although I still miss some features that I complement with other programs.

Vorteile:

The software has a clean and intuitive interface. It doesn't have all the features of MS Project, but for a free software it's quite complete. I can keep track of the tasks on it and set up the precedence without any problems.

Nachteile:

Some information takes a lot of clicks to enter, especially the custom column data you enter. Developers could simplify the layout.

Wonderful Tool to Have in Your Business Toolkit

Vorteile:

I use GanttProject on my Macbook and it has been my go-to tool when I look to create a project timeline. The software is free so there is no excuse not to try it. I have used MS Project in the past and I would say that GanttProject is easier to use (especially for smaller projects) and definitely more economical than paying for Project.

Nachteile:

I have no cons. It does its intended job extremely well.

Great Software

Kommentare: Great piece of software that is easy to sue

Vorteile:

Ease of use and the simplicity of the layout

Nachteile:

Was a little tricky getting the date format correct but other than that nothing

When your project needs a Gantt diagram.

Kommentare: We are using it when we need complicated Gantt charts for the projects and it works.

Vorteile:

A free software only focused for the gantt diagramms. Works on differentn platforms.

Nachteile:

Its visual interface looks very old-fashioned. Arranging the dates and durations is becoming difficult sometimes. It would be better to be able to use it online.

Valid alternative to Microsoft Project

Vorteile:

Valid alternative to Microsoft Project, it permits to keep trace of the various tasks and provide a GANTT to the customer

Nachteile:

Various operations are more complicated to do compared to other commercial alternatives.

Review from a user

Vorteile:

Easy to use, easy to understand, easy to work with

Nachteile:

divide a task in 1 line (with a break). Now i need to make 2 lines.

Not perfect, but really a good one!

Kommentare: Managing the project time schedule and resources without paying for a commercial software, So budget beneficial for small teams.

Vorteile:

- Reasonably controllable for project managers who has some experience in planning and schedules. - Can work OFFLINE on your desktop! Really great! - Can convert MSProject files, also a plus.

Nachteile:

- Almost no active development - Lack of some obviously needed features (Like you literally can't use Hours, Minutes, etc to give your task more detailed duration!)

Best free alternative to Microsoft Project. You almost feel like using MS Project !

Kommentare: Free alternative to MS Project

Vorteile:

Best free project management with almost same functionalities as MS Project. Very easy to use and simple. Converting project plan to PDF and printing is very simple and easy.

Nachteile:

Sub tasks can be more visible and distinctive to main task. Report generation should have more customization options

Very useful

Vorteile:

It is a simple program to use and useful for the elaboration of diagrams, of good interface and complete, with certain details, but it works well.

Nachteile:

This program is very easy to use, however it still has some defects when it is running, a disadvantage is that it does not allow the printing of the diagrams pert, even there is no greater possibility of personalization of the presentation of the gantt chart.

Great application but missing one key feature

Kommentare: Resource utilization planning, project tracking

Vorteile:

A fully featured gantt chart creator equipped with resource allocation, progress, and dependent tasks. Tasks and milestone creation is very intuitive and the print features are great for sharing my timelines with customers.

Nachteile:

The smallest task can only be minimum of 1 day in time. So planning tasks by half a day or by hours is not possible. This renders the software unusable for our company since we need to plan resources for meetings and software planning times during a project which are <1 day. Hopefully this will change in the future.

Useful For Project Management

Kommentare: Using GanntChart was useful when trying to create tasks for my upcoming project. Although I was able to create a Gantt chart my first time using this software I was unable to add details and critical paths. However, training was easily accessible with a little research.

Vorteile:

I like how easy this software was able to figure. I am also impressed with how affordable this software is to use. I was able to create a Gantt chart the first day upon use of this software. This is the software of choice at my university, therefore, it must be legitimate.

Nachteile:

Adding little details to my GanttProject proved to be difficult to figure out without training. I was also unimpressed by how low quality the design is on the software itself. It is not very appealing.

Prefect Scheduling Tool for Subcontractors

Kommentare: I am using it to provide an ongoing schedule to a team of about 30 people - internal and external.

Vorteile:

It was very simple to install and use and seems very intuitive

Nachteile:

It doesn't fully transfer to Procore. For example, the critical path doesn't transfer correctly when the file is uploaded into the Procore PM software.

Easy to use

Vorteile:

It has the basic functionalities and most used in this type of programs. Good presence Possibility of export / import to more common formats.

Nachteile:

It does not allow to see free days assigned to specific resources within the Gannt chart, if the general free days.
