Outstanding Software that is User friendly and easy to read
Easy quick scheduling. Easy to translate message to owners and executive management
PROSExtremely User Friendly and visually pleasing. Allows for scheduling flexibility and visualization No Need to worry about scheduling explosions when making changes (MS Project)
CONSThe software does have a capacity for activities. Somewhat bogs down the computer if your schedules are larger in size.

What are you waiting for?
I have used NetPoint for claim analysis, extensions of time determinations, and arbitration proceedings. Nothing convinces non-schedulers more clearly than a real scheduling program that functions with the simplicity of a visual bar/gantt chart. Critical paths change over time. It is difficult to prove/trace the history of the critical path especially if the schedule is not updated properly. Need to show the critical path left of the data date? Only NetPoint can do this. Non-schedulers don't care about the complexity of the calculations. I use NetPoint to tell the story of how events really happened and measure the reasonable impact of delays. NetPoint will not allow the operator to perform shenanigans with activity relationships.
PROSIt's easy to get started with NetPoint. When you go down the rabbit hole to figure out how every feature works, that's when the power of NetPoint will truly become apparent.
CONSSchedulers by nature are people with OCD tendencies. The display scaling on ultra high resolution monitors needs to be fixed. I'd like to see a refreshed and more polished user interface / GUI. The node control size of objects is limited to small, medium, large..this drives me nuts sometimes. I'd like more options to control the size formatting of objects. I would also like the Global Edit mode to keep things in place when I close the file, sometimes my edits violate various text/attribute placement parameters...this drives me nuts too. Overall if I leave these features at their default settings, its ok. I don't use printing features...cause they're not that great. I use Take Snapshot, bump up the width option, and save to file.
Reason for choosing NetPoint
NetPoint functionally supplements the scheduling products that I use. I have not chosen it to replace P6. NetPoint software can demonstrate value immediately, but clients are slow or reluctant to adopt. Contractor's not familiar with NetPoint often cast doubt on its results, claiming NetPoint is not "industry standard."
Vendor Response
Thanks for the great review, Gerald! Our innovation team is working on many of the items you mentioned for scaling and user interface. Please stay tuned for new features coming soon.

A great Scheduling Software that will MS Project a run for its money
The best part about this software is that I can lay down schedules of multiple projects on one sheet and see if there are any overlaps between projects. In addition, it is great to make presentations to the board using this tool
PROSThe best part about the software is the ease of operability and the next best part is you can visualize the schedule which is great for presentations and gives you an overall view of the project
CONSThe things I like least about this software is that while being very user friendly and being great for presentations, it fails to solve the purpose a P6 might be able to solve. It does not allow me to have unique ID codes for activities, tasks etc. though being a great scheduling software it does not provide any cost control features provided by P6

Great Software for Interactive Planning, Communicating and Conveying Project Execution Plan.
Simplifies interactive planning. Easy to understand by stakeholders for their review and "buy-In" of the plan. Helps focus on critical and near critical path in addition to manage project floats. Great tool to simplify the complex and help upper management in decision making. Great tool for on the spot "What-If" scenarios. Real time and visual aid on impact on project plan based on changes and progress.
PROSEasy to use and very intuitively. Great for interactive planning. Prefer software for upper management to understand critical and near critical path. Help team members to focus on critical activities and manage project floats. Easy to export data to Excel including charts. Easy to update and track changes. I used this software on a daily basis with directors, plant managers and execution leads. I will highly recommend Netpoint to anyone who has to work with planning and scheduling. Customer Support is A+! Fast response and issue resolve within same business day.
CONSInserting standards "Clip Arts" like arrows, lines, geometric figures not very intuitive and with no options like in MS Office products. Most cases I use a print screen in PowerPoint/Word for better comments. Resource chart and over limit not always easy to convey and understand.

My discovery of NetPoint
I have been using project management tools for many years mainly for nuclear power unit maintenance outages which contain tens of thousands of activities manpower intensive and finely timed windows, also the need to get the unit back up safely and back producing power and earning money. High end scheduling tools were used that were very complicated and manpower intensive. But my main issue was how to show the overall project at a high level from a very detailed schedule. Well I found NetPoint, at last a program that could show an entire complicated project on one screen that was also a scheduling tool and could be resource and cost loaded. It was very intuitive to learn, but what I liked best was I was able to gather our entire project management team and executives in one room and review the schedule from one end to the other, in away that all in the room could follow and understand. Another great feature was the ability to very quickly do what if's and scenarios if you have ever tried this with a 20,000 activity project with all it's relationships you know how time consuming it is, in my experience management want quick results to these situations. This is a great companion tool when client specs call for high end software schedules but also for any applications that do not call for a high end software package. This is a great scheduling tool, I had searched for many years for a package such as NetPoint. Down load the trial version and take a look that is what I did.
PROSEase of use, functionality and presentation in a form all the team can understand
CONSNot much, for its cost and functionality it meets most of your project management needs.
