GanttPRO Software

Not bad

Not bad, I will keep using for now or until I find something better.

Pros

I badly needed a fairly robust timeline tool to keep track of highly detailed project timelines that involve a number of tasks and sub tasks. GanttPro was the best that I could find.

Cons

Cost and ease of use. I am an experienced PM, so I know how to create timelines, but it may not be as easy for someone who needs to operate like a PM but isn't one, or who doesn't have as much experience creating timelines.

A great tool to use

Communication with customers improved while being able to continuously check the progress.

Pros

It is easy to use, can be send to customers and as a link and inform them continuously for the progress.

Cons

that I cannot change the dates, percentages etc without opening a pop up screen

Infinitely better than MS Project (and ideal for Mac users)!

I'll never use MS Project again.

Pros

There are relatively few features in GanttPro but does everything you really need to schedule a project, simply. Just as importantly it dispenses with all of the unnecessary complexities of MS Project.

Cons

Undoing changes is quite unsettling and unintuitive because you have to roll back to a previous version. It works, but a one-click "undo" would be so much easier.

I tested other solution, GanttPro was the easiest and fastest

Great, smooth, no issues faced other than I had to manually cut the exported PNG's to remove few columns I didn't want to share with he clients

Pros

Easy to start with the built in Templates
Can copy entire phases of projects
Can export filtered lists

Cons

Cannot remove some columns before doing the export
It would be better if export had more options like summary export PDF

Very well thought through

Pros

Lots of features and very intuitive user interface

Cons

It is slow to respond. Latency with most commands is greater than I normally find acceptable. This is especially true on my laptop. My laptop has an i7 processor so it is not lacking resources. Rather, GanttPro is just very resource intensive at times.

Team Based Scheduling

I find it is a good software, it has helped me sell my work since Clients appreciate Time Control, specially on Projects that take months. Team members are happy, everyone knows "where" we are and "what" needs to be done since it is cloud based and some Team members are in different offices and cities.

Pros

I use it for schedulling architectural design projects, and find it has good features besides the obvious and basics: you can use WBS, Lag Time, Personal Calendars, custom color the Task Bars, which give you better control and feel of your schedule, and use Filters to "see" what you want to focus on. Also has a Critical Path!

Cons

The Task Bar Time span is only produced according to the Project Calendar. I have staff with different work days and hours (per day) - Personal Calendars - so I expected the software to produce different Time Spans based on Personal Calendars but it does not. You have to punch in the "Effort Hours" (real hours to do the Task), use your calculator and punch in "Duration Hours", based on what the actual Person works per day and week. Then if you reassign the Task to someone with a different Personal Calendar, punch in Duration again :(

A easy and flexible task managment and gantt tool

Overall satisfied with less than a month of use. Chat support in US is limited due to the time difference and maybe small support team. But you get a response in less than 24 hr all the time.

Pros

Easy, drag and drop style is friendly for the most users with a small learning curve.

Cons

User dashboard with cross-project tasks ans deadline and a calender view is a must feature that i miss.

Reports with pre-configured reportts for effort, staff performance and deadline and progress is also somewhat missing.

Great tool with lots of potential to extend Jira

I am very happy to have found a tool that adds on to Jira externally, rather than adding to the bulk of Jira. Since Jira integration is fairly new/in beta, I will be looking forward to future updates!

Pros

Easy to use
Customer service link on every page
Easy to add dependencies between tasks

Cons

Jira integration needs work. I'd like to see the following added for further filtering abilities:
Epics
Labels
User photos

Flexible software for project management

Pros

GanttPro lets us manage all project management and marketing tasks in a very convenient interface. We like that we can combine a kanban board and Gantt diagram in one solution, hence we could get rid of Trello and MindMap's Gantt diagram function and start managing everything in GanttPro. It saves us a lot of time and resources.

Cons

So far we haven't noticed any Cons for our needs.

Stupid Simple

Pros

The ease of use on this software is mind blowing.

Cons

Not a ton of features, and you have to make your own "work-arounds".

Cool tool

Our first experience with such tools. So far very pleased.

Pros

Comfort and ease. Use in working on a startup. Our team is about 8-10 people.

Cons

It is impossible to allocate a lot of problems. Wrote to the developers, they say, will soon make.

Great tool for internet marketing company

Pros

The intuitive and clear interface allowed to master the program easily. Very much the fact that it is at the same time possible to use both the chart Ganta, and a kanban a board was pleasant.

Cons

I can't call serious shortcomings. The team uses service about three months. There were noncritical bugs, but they were quickly corrected. On functionality: as the chart Ganta the tool completely is repaid, there is all necessary therefore it is difficult to me to speak about serious minuses.

Great tool for planning the resources and visualizing the scope of tasks

Pros

- easy to use: great UX/UI, drag-and-drop rules
- lots of useful features for resource management

Cons

- short free trial, I was not able to try out all the features during it
- absence of the iOS mobile app

Predictable and convenient planning process

Pros

I very like to use gantt chart && kanban board for planing, now I get online service to do it in one place

Cons

You need to spend some time to engage and understand how to use it and discover all possible features.

Scheduleling made effective

Pros

What I like most about the GANTT-diagram, is that if you need to make a change somewhere, it automatically adjusts all subsequent tasks.

Cons

I sometimes felt I was missing a "fit-to-screen" option when I wanted to just get a quick overview of my entire plan.

Easy to learn - a bit slow though

Pros

Easy to learn how to use the tools
Lots of PM features - esp dependencies, resources
Graphical drag and drop is a good thing

Cons

Unable to eliminate some columns from appearing during print/export: if there's a way to only export a view with limited columns to place onto a PPT slide, that would be great. If there is already a feature like that, then it's too hard to find.
Can be slow to zoom / unzoom

Great product. Easy to get started.

Pros

Ease of use. I can quickly do 85% of what I'd like to with a planning solution. Very easy to share with a work group and manage access privileges.

Cons

Ability to create weekly recurring tasks or milestones. Would love to see this functionality added but not a huge issue.

Ganttpro works just as expected. New features are introduced reguarly and we use it for every gantt.

planning

Pros

- Ease of use, simplicity
- Fits simple projects and complex ones
- Resource management
- Sharing by email

Cons

- Moving tasks in the hierarchy can be a bit of a pain
- Can't share the gantt to non-logged people with URL

I loved using Ganttpro. It was very easy to use and the layout looks really good.

I made a really great Gantt chart for an exam.

Pros

I really liked how easy it was to use. I'm not very experienced in making gantt charts, but this was so easy and everything looked really good, without me even trying. Loved it.

Cons

The only negative thing I have to say is that it is not free. Although I completely get why it isn't. It is too good of a program to be free.

Good software. Easy to understand and easy to use.

Pros

I liked that the software was user friendly and easy to navigate. Within 10 minutes I knew how the software works and I created a good solid project plan in no time. Its very easy to create dependencies between tasks as well as to create subtasks. I like that you can import existing project plans as well as you can use software's templates as basis for your plan. You can also export your plan as pdf or image but you need to pay subscription fee for this. You can give access to multiple users which is very useful.

Cons

There was one thing in particular that I didnt like, when you're creating dependencies your tasks get linked. However I wish I could adjust the shape of the arrow in order to make it more visually pleasing. I found this an issue when I was adding in many dependencies and there were lines everywhere and not necessary shown in the easiest way to understand them. I know in MS Visio you can adjust this so it would be useful to introduce this feature here as well.
