## Reviews

### "OpenProject: Simple, Competitive and Reliable" — 5.0/5

> **Franklin** | *03 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: If I'm to give one word that perfectly describes OpenProject it will have to be "SIMPLICITY". It is easy to use and implementation is straightforward and completely self-service. All customization and integration capabilities are accessible and well described in the online documentation, it's impossible to get stuck along the way. The way OpenProject Stresses on cloud data security, confidentiality and privacy is remarkable. We are able to share updates (project status) with the relevant stakeholders without giving them full access to specific project's internal details.
> 
> **Cons**: I haven't encountered any aspect that OpenProject falls short of my expectations.
> 
> OpenProject is a simplified yet a phenomenal solution for managing and tracking all projects related workflows. It keeps everything simple and centralised in one space. Forget about PM chaos and confusion, OpenProject is literally "immune" to all that\!

### "Life is so much better with OpenProject" — 5.0/5

> **Clifford** | *23 July 2024* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: OpenProject remains to be the top online project management tool in my ranking. It has a user-friendly interface and despite being affordable it hasn't compromised on the quality of it's features. It execute processes super quick and it is not affected by the number of projects, teams or users and it is highly customizable
> 
> **Cons**: There are still some upscaling limitations even if it is open source. The free version misses resource allocation among other key functions. Lastly there exist mobile app so we often have to access it from our computers which is kinda inconvenient because project management is an all time tasks
> 
> We have transformed our workflows from chaos to elegant organization with zero manual processes

>

> 
> OpenProject not only streamline our task/project management workflows, it also empower our team to collaborate and work smart.
