Project Libre is the only timeline application we use in our company. It is easily accessible by anyone (being opensource) and the export feature works great too.

Pros

It can basically do everything MS Project can do at the price point of $0.

Cons

The user interface of the software is very dated, it is very clear the software is written for function and not for aesthetics.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Project and OpenProject

Reasons for Switching to Projectlibre

The price point is the main reason why we went with Project Libre.

Response from Projectlibre

Projectlibre Review

Reviewed on 2019/06/05

Pros

If you can throw away everything you know about other spreadsheet services when you use Projectlibre, it will be easy to pick up and understand. You have to remember that while it looks similar to a spreadsheet, it is an entirely different platform with different purpose and functionalities. Once you get into the hang of it, Projectlibre will make managing projects and resources a breeze. Another pro about this software is that there are tons of help videos and articles online if you ever get stuck.

Cons

What we least liked about Projectlibre was the large learning curves for newcomers. It took a little while to get the hang of and understand what some of the prompts mean.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Project

Reasons for Switching to Projectlibre

We chose ProjectLibre as our project tracking tool because it has a free, fairly comprehensive version: Projectlibre Open Source.

Response from Projectlibre

We have added a YouTube channel with videos to help the learning curve. Thank you for your nice review! We just saw your review and wanted to send appreciation! The ProjectLibre team works very hard and it is nice to get the feedback

I like it, graphically is nice and all the functions and tools give the Gantt chart a very simple look.

Pros

I liked the simplicity of the use, I used this for a class to explain how Gantt charts work and it was really interesting to all students.

Cons

Even when it is a simple tool to manage and administrate task in a timeline it will not work for a company, because it is just the Gantt chart with dependencies, so if you are looking for a complete software it will not be helpful.

We use it for simple project management timelines. We don't get too in depth with them and will probably buy software if we become a bigger operation.

Pros

This is a free version of software like microsoft project. It has most the same functionality and use.

Cons

It has some known glitches, but that is to be expected it is free, it also isn't as intuitive as some of the paid alternatives are.

Good alternative to Microsoft Project

Reviewed on 2021/02/15

I was looking for a cheap or free alternative to MS Project to plan and follow my projects.

I was looking for a cheap or free alternative to MS Project to plan and follow my projects.

Pros

ProjectLibre is a real offline project management software with all the featured needed to plan and follow a project. And above all it's absolutly free.

Cons

The interface is not that complete compared to MS Project. Sometime it's a little bit disapointed. For example it's quiet difficult to change the size of the gantt view.

Thank you for the review! We can look at improving the UI as you noted. The ProjectLibre team works very hard. You noted it is free and open source. ProjectLibre is now on all 7 continents with users in Antarctica. Thank you for the review.
