Project Planning and Scheduling is made easy by OpenProject.
My overall experience has been absolutely great. OpenProject has been cost effective tool that has enabled us to finalize on most of our clients projects effectively efficiently without wasting much time.
PROSCurrently i am working on with a small team of 10 members and we are working on multiple major projects for our clients. It's eminent we complete the projects on time and give it all we can. Using OpenProject as our main project management tool has brought a huge boost on how we are handling and managing the projects efficiently. OpenProject has the best robust and reliable features which are making everything fall into place and we are almost being done with some of the projects. It's been easy to track the team performance in real-time and able to know what's going on pretty well and and what not. It's a flexible tool that we use it on any operating system and have the controls tools which enables us to take full control of our clients projects effectively.
CONSThe support team has been very exceptional and responsive at times but at times due to high number of clients who needs assistance they are a bit slow. Nevertheless everything else is super dope.

Great Project Software for Teams
I thoroughly enjoy OpenProject and hope it continues to grow. Others in my organization find it frustrating for scheduling and viewing overall status, but we are finding ways to work around issues with other tools. We don't need another Jira! OP is my MS Project alternative, and adds the benefit of integrating teams into project tracking. Keep up the good work!
PROSOpenProject is a pleasure to use for projects from proposal/concept to closing. Creating a WBS and timeline with generic resources is a great way to generate documentation needed for proposals. Copying that proposal project to an active project is then a great way to jumpstart project planning with team awareness of timelines and requirements. Teams can interact with the project plan, adding their own features and tasks to complete deliverables. Creating custom WBS queries assists in focusing team members on items they are required to complete. And creating custom queries to the master Work Package list provides a way for executive members to view the active phases and status of milestones. Meetings can be logged in their own section, and wiki notes can be captured for reference. Very pleased with the community version of OpenProject.
CONSScheduling and resource management is a bit burdensome with OpenProject. There is so much value in scheduling with blocked-out weekends, holidays, and resource calendars. Resource loading reports have to be manually created in other tools (spreadsheets) to show whether resources are available or overbooked. The planned project overview page and executive/portfolio views can't come soon enough. Value is often communicated upwards, and there isn't much for executive management to view; these views and reports are still custom creations in other tools. Printing wiki pages, meetings, etc. are awkward. Budgeting is OK, but again awkward as the plugin appears to apply to all projects when within a single project. There is no baseline feature and no way to compare performance verses the baseline. For these reasons, users are still required to use more advanced resource management, project management and budgeting, and scheduling tools alongside OpenProject. It is great software, just not a complete replacement for other project management toolsets. At times, it would be good to have more condensed views, but reducing the screen rendering/size to less than 100% suffices for now.
Reason for choosing OpenProject
Free and timeline/work package views. Almost a complete PMIS.
Reasons for switching to OpenProject
Integrate project management and team collaboration with timelines and scheduling. A great PMIS, that is better than most, and will be best with resource management and executive/portfolio reporting!
Vendor Response
Thank you very much for your feedback. The good news is that we are working on a completely new resource management and scheduling module for OpenProject. If you are interested in sharing your expectations, just get in touch with us on support@openproject.com.

Open it is not
A 'free trial' failed to provide (a) sufficient time to understand the product (b) sufficient guidance on the product before demanding I commit to signing up
PROSThis product looked to be a useful alternative to MS Project
CONSInadequate help.
Reasons for switching to OpenProject
Looking for better priced product
Vendor Response
Dear Kim, thank you for your review. Indeed, the help is quite weak at this point. We are currently developing a new help center with documentation and videos directly embedded in the system. Also, we offer to prolong the trial for another 10 days to give users a change to test the system thoroughly before signing up. We also offer to give a personal demo. We are happy to prolong your trial if needed. Kind regards Birthe (OpenProject)
