GanttPRO Software

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.

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.

Helping me schedule out and track my remodel

Pros

The drag and drop functionality is great. Also, the interface is real simple and easy to maneuver around.

Cons

It was a little tough to understand how some of the tasks interact at first but was able to pick it up after playing with it for awhile. Also, it doesn't seem to let you scroll through the whole project list of tasks while viewing on a mobile phone or tablet.

helps for the effective planning and decision making in an organization

Pros

the interface of the software and the features integrated within this software are the crucial portion of this software.

Cons

there are none words to describe this software does not worth limitations. this software is the best I had ever use

Pros

GanttPro makes it really quick and painless to draft a good-looking project timeline, make quick edits as more stakeholders weigh in, and be treated as the single source of truth when people ask about delivery dates.

Cons

Missing a couple of key features that I would find really valuable:
- The ability to shuffle the whole plan by X days (sometimes projects start a week later but all the time estimates remain the same).
- The PNG export doesn't include the nested structure, and doesn't look as good as the editor. We make our browser 2 screens wide and screenshot the page instead of exporting.

Pros

user-friendly, easy access to all options and it's easy to invite teammates to edit or view the chart and also you can help them with access to edit their projects in your Gantt chart

Cons

The monthly is little pricey and for me, it's per month and it will be better if they maintain lower prices for monthly subscription.

Organization and communication improvements

Pros

It is easy to use and pretty intuitive. The software is very visually appealing. The charts are very customizable.

Cons

It has limitations because it is only for gantt charts. It does not really interact with any other software well and exporting other than as a URL is cumbersome.

Pros

Most important feature for me is that you're able to edit the same document with multiple users at the same time and the changes automatically sync. None of the other Gantt tools can do that and I tried all of them.
All other features that you would expect from a Gantt program are there and easy/obvious to use (dependencies, automatic scheduling, etc).
Exports to PDF look great for presenting to client.

Cons

It is very expensive. You have to purchase a minimum of 5 user licenses even if you don't use all of them.

Pros

It is easy for all kind of users. Tasks list and Gantt chart are drag and drop enabled interfaces. Very easy to use and simple. The support team is also very responsive.

Pros

Viewing and exporting feature are super helpful when you need to share the info with someone outside of your organization. The ability to share charts and organize users for specific access and control is very helpful.

Cons

When you print the charts to paper, the indented levels of milestones and tasks are all left aligned and it makes it difficult to distinguish the milestones.

Clear and fast communication with the client - i just edit the diagramm, and he sees it immediately!

Pros

Great function of diagram sharing by the link. Can manage lots of parameters. Intuitive interface, nice UX!

Cons

I really need Ctrl+Z function :) Right now, if you miss with editing, you cannot just press the button - you need to go the history page, rolling back everything. I think this is a main miss right now.

Peace of mind. Efficiency.

Pros

Optimizes clarity, intercommunicability and efficiency. My team clearly knows the targets and sub-targets, keeping an eye on the prize at the same time. Priceless.

Cons

How can i set different colors in the number chart to make tasks/deadlines etc stand out?
Also in the comment section when typing @ the menu sometimes fails to appear

Better project planning and efficiency

Pros

Ability to drag and expand the tasks, assign people and costs. Easy to handle multiple projects and to delay tasks that are linked.

Cons

Giant projects can get complicated to visualize and manipulate. Sometimes the javascript for the drag and drop freezes and you have to reload.

Pros

Easy user interface makes the user more comfortable to working with the application. Group feature also good.

Cons

not anything which i encountered during the my experience with this product, user should also get export feature in the trail version to validate the export functionality

Pros

The main advantages of the GanttPRO software are:
Flexibility
Design
Easy updates
Clearness

Cons

GanttPRO software main disadvantages are:
Templates are not flexible enough
Short periods for trial version

for project scheduling

Pros

preparing a schedule for my new project i found all the tool in a easy sequence where i set milestone, start and end date, task, resource etc very easily.

Cons

i am using this software from three years, i did few job in this software for my project work, honestly speaking i have to work more to find out its cons. i am still in the learning stage.

Pros

It allows free trial.
It automates the Gantt planning technique very interesting and widely used for project management.

Cons

I would like a downloadable version to not depend so much on the internet in the use of the tool.
The price is very high, it should be more competitive with market prices

This software saved me time and made my Gantt chart experience simple and pain free.

Pros

This software is user-friendly and the interface is quite intuitive. It is also easy to share projects with other people.

Cons

I wish this software allowed me to more easily make a PDF of my Gantt chart to share with other colleagues.

Pros

I love that I'm able to see the project status overview, and then immediately navigate into specific tasks / assignments.
Also, I can manage dev / marketing without switching to different board (like in Trello).
Also, it's visual. Trello board became too clumsy for me over time.

Cons

It's a bit complicated. But simpler products do not allow you to manage time.
I switched from Trello. It worked fine until I started to need to plan ahead, and not just focusing on immediate priorities.

I recommend switching to Ganntpro when you need TIME planning! Not earlier.

As a project manager, my projects often have major shifts in deadlines due to the nature of our clients. Projects, or portions of them, may at any time be accelerated or postponed literally months in a single notice. GanttPro makes it easy to realign and redistribute the tasks in order balance out the workload of my team.

Pros

The ability to add/delete/move items is natural and doesn't require any time in designing 'if/then" type of dependencies. It can all be quickly rearranged graphically using drag & drop. I knew instantly I was abandoning the excel-type products I had been using.

Cons

The only thing I didn't like was the longer than expected load time. Initial loading takes about 1 minute. Once loaded however, all changes are practically instantaneous, so it's not an ongoing issue. I've had zero issues in speed for manipulation, saving, etc. In all reality, the initial load time is not that significant and the advantages of this platform far outweigh this singular issue.
