Free but great for project management
I used this platform to manage a project from the office on restoration of public art monuments, involved a lot of staff located in different parts, we had very little time, we managed to complete the project coordinating all activities and tasks with this platform, so it was much easier for me to receive reports from managers and area coordinators, I could detect where there were delays and who were the most efficient in fulfilling their tasks, it is amazing the information you can get from a platform like this
Pros
One of its most emblematic features, is a free platform and open source, you can use it from any operating system, gives you the tools to have control and make the necessary follow-up until the end of the project.
Cons
It should take more advantage of its open-source feature and incorporate more tools and functions.

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!
Pros
OpenProject 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.
Cons
Scheduling 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.
Reasons 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!

Better than trello
Just for task management purposes it's good, but if you want other functionalities there are other better options.
Pros
Following are its top features: - Gantt chart - Task dependency creation - Easy task assignment - Costing
Cons
- Collaboration could be improved like trello in big teams it can cause problems - No kanban view - Task searching, it's detail and it's activity is better in trello.
Reasons for Switching to OpenProject
Because trello didn't have option to assign a task to any user.

Very good project managment tool
It help lot to manage number of scrum team for a single project and we could be able to manage over 100 staff on this product.
Pros
i was able to use this product over 4 years on my previouse company. It was a very good selection for those who looking for a free agile based project management software
Cons
less flexibility and hard to configure/install is major issue i realized with this tool. It too so long to fix certian slowness issue of the application.

Great Tool
It has helped me a lot in project management. Task management and monitoring. I would like a brief overview of the project portfolio.
Pros
Open source software, API, web based. Constant feature and security updates. Agile tools; Gantt chart.
Cons
The integration of agile module with gantt chart does not work correctly. There is currently a need for manual updates to the Agile module and Gantt. It would be great if the Gantt chart showed the progress of Versions, User Stories, and Tasks automatically. Currently I have to create a Gantt Phase and link to the Version of the same name.
Reasons for Choosing OpenProject
Open source, many features and constant updates.

Replied September 2019
Thanks you very much for your feedback. The integration of the Agile module with the Gantt chart is a known challenge which we will evaluate and improve. For now, the new Boards module gives a first improvement so that all work packages are at first displayed in the Gantt chart.

Open project - customise it all.
Open project has the flexibility for you to customise your projects to work just how you need them to work. If you take the time to set it up, it will fulfill your needs.
Pros
- Customisable - Project, subprojects, sub sub projects - Tasks, subtasks, - many customisable work package types - Cost that feels right - Not loaded with extra features that you are paying for buy never use.
Cons
- needs basic refinement - can be buggy - steep learning curve
Reasons for Choosing OpenProject
Cost was more reasonable, customisation was better.

A great alternative to MS Project for collaboration
It's perfect to assign tasks and keep track of their progress. Many other free tools can do this but OpenProject adds customizable workflows and detailed dependencies between tasks - and even a Gantt view. I use it for small and medium projects where live feedback from team members (progress, comments, etc.) is vital. Achieving the same result with MS Project Server would cost exorbitantly more.
Pros
I like the ease of use (I never had to explain how to use it to team members, only to project admins), the clean interface, the granularity of the configuration (most of all the possibility of activating only the needed modules for each project), the customization possibilities for categories/statuses/fact that workflows, the flexibility and ease of query design, the availability of a Gantt view I appreciated also very much that most of the essential features can be used for free without limitations (other tools like Asana limit the number of projects, tasks or team members). Setup was extremely easy (but I'm a skilled technician and tinkerer with over 10 years of sysadmin experience, so your mileage may vary).
Cons
It lacks some important features for project resources management like resource allocation (to spot overloads), resource leveling, resource calendars and resource availability percentage. It also feels a bit skewed towards sw development teams and Agile methodology, so creating a classic waterfall WBS is not as easy as it should be and requires mental discipline; among other things, it does not allow for an easy reordering of tasks after their creation. It does not allow for an easy nor complete import/export from/to MS Project (which IS arguably the industry standard). The reports are not customizable and can only include task list and details (not the Gantt view).
Reasons for Choosing OpenProject
Cost and ease of setup and use.

Solid Tool for Project Management
Overall this is a go-to program for my occasional project management needs. Very happy with the program in general.
Pros
The biggest draw for me was the price tag - free. I don't know who spent the time to design this program, but it has been an excellent resource for me during the few projects a year when I need a true project management tool. It has a wide variety of features available, and after a few minutes of trial and error, it was easy to pick up the basics. The GANTT chart feature is especially useful and is the component that I use the most.
Cons
Finding some features of the program can be tricky and aren't as user friendly as they could be. Export options seem a little limited.

Excelent project management software
It is an efficient free project management software
Pros
It is open source. The software is used by a large community of developers. It has the support of large free software companies. Another positive point is that it comes very close to the paid products in relation to features.
Cons
I don't see any problems. This software serves me in everything I need. Sometimes, some limitations in the software are not a disadvantage. At OpenProject, we can do everything we need, because good project management is not software, it is the competence of project management professionals.

Great Product for Proffesionals
I'm the admin for our company and it's really easy to install the software. Configuring is little bit confusing but you get great support from community. I use for my own project management. All users are really happy to use the software.
Pros
OpenProject is open source and free to use. Great tool if you are intermediate for project management. Web based and can use on modern browsers.
Cons
Need more customization on functionalities. For example it's better to have a customizable landing page.
Reasons for Switching to OpenProject

Very User Friendly!
This product has helped to organize and streamline the user acceptance testing process!
Pros
Open Project is very easy to navigate, with little-to-no training needed prior. It is easy to help organize project teams and help triage/direct issues found!
Cons
It would help if the amount/types of statuses for each defect were customizable at the project-level. Each project is organized differently, so this would be a huge win!

Response from OpenProject

Thank you very much for your great feedback. At a workaround to have different status on a project level, you can create different types with corresponding status and activate those in different projects according to the projects' needs. We will evaluate the other option as well. Please let us know if you have any more comments or feature requests.

Very robust tool to manage projects of all types
Lightweight tool widely used in the market for project management.
Pros
It is open source. It has a free version to be installed on its own server. It has paid version with hosting and support. It has functionality for all stages of completing a project. Visual of the graphical interface is easy and intuitive.
Cons
technical knowledge is required to install. If you use it as a team (online) you will need to pay for a server where it will be installed.

Full featured reasonably priced Project Management & Wiki platform
When we were looking for a Project Management and Wiki platform, there were a ton of good choices. However our organization has just over 10 people and so none of the free trials would work for us. Also, not very many platforms support Project Management and Wiki functionality, so for most platforms, we'd need a two-headed solution which would cost just under $$$/month. Instead, we found OpenProject, which is perfect. It doesn't look quite as slick as some of the other offerings, but after testing we found it to be just as functional and still pretty easy to use. Best of all, we can keep our organization's Wiki documentation and project tracking in one place. We're using Open Project's could hosting, which costs less... a much better price than anything else on the market that we were able to find. If you already have your own server and don't mind applying a few platform upgrades per year, then you can even get it for free since it's an opensource platform.
Pros
Good user interface, great feature set, better prices.
Cons
User interface doesn't look as slick as Asana's.

Though only working with this tool for a month, it has helped me a lot with project-planning.
Pros
The interface is really good, inline editing makes the creation and editing of tasks and other data really fast. The roles of different kinds of users are easily customizable. Most features I need for project-management are available in OpenProject. I really like the fact I can host OpenProject on my own server, so I have my data in my own hands.
Cons
OpenProject misses a few features that I think should be available. For instance, it is now possible to export Cost Reports (for instance, Time Sheet logs). This is something I need a lot, to inform customers of the progress of a project. They seem to be working on this feature though. I would like to link the tasks I planned to an external calendar. Maybe a CalDav interface would be a possibility.

The benefits of using OpenProject is that you can perform accurate project planning and resource utilization.
Pros
I really like OpenProject because it is a program that can be easily used to plan projects, load resources and define the dates of activities. Besides, it is a free license.
Cons
What I would like the program to do is to join several projects in one and be able to verify if time or resources that are already being used in another project overlap, to prevent this.

Pros
Very easy to get up and running, and the interfaces are very intuitive. Nice way to get a snapshot of current project state. Multiple user accounts allows for associating tasks with users (who get notified via email when updates are pushed)
Cons
A 'server' (always on machine, running a web server and database) is required... would be nice if future iterations were remote browser based.

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)

The most competitive open source project manager
We used this platform on one occasion to rebuild our workflow and determine the monetary, human and technological resources needed to improve our way of communicating with our audience, it was very productive to use it to the maximum with our technicians and computer and to establish our structure of priorities in our communication area.
Pros
You solve communication and collaboration problems with the use of this platform. Break down the tasks of your projects and assign them according to the hierarchy of each, it is very useful if the projects involve the development of technologies and productive applications. In spite of being open source it works very well in window and iOS operating systems.
Cons
It is a project management platform that focuses more on the technical and the structure of projects. I would like to expand a little more that I have involved more technical and technological marketing and budgeting.

It is a great alternative to MS projects. Even some of its features are primitive, they might get expanded in the future.
Pros
The feature that I liked more about Openproject is that it has projects can contain a git repository. It offers project management tools similiar to any other software in that area. It is also free to install in your own machines.
Cons
The Visual could be improve I think. Also the Git support is primitive at the moment, it only shows the previous commits and diff. It could display the readme.md such as GitHub

Great environment to manage projects
The planning becomes much simpler as well as the follow-up to the projects, the whole team is on the same page and with the will to complete the projects on time, that generates a greater motivation towards the achievements of the institution
Pros
This project manager contains everything from the most basic tools to the most advanced ones, in a platform designed to manage together with the work team the tasks that correspond to each one. As a manager I like to create work schedules in which the team feels comfortable and with the power to fulfill their tasks perfectly, I can do general tracking in a single digram of gantt where everything is consolidated, the platform can be adjusted to the requirements of your projects, there is little risk of loss of information
Cons
I would like you to have more applications to integrate, in that aspect it is a bit limited

Hopefully a better traked workflow over the different projects and a easier comunication to the other projekt partners. Because of the web based interface the possible international incooperating of people on the project.
Pros
The possibility to tag files to issues und to trak the issues over the workflow. The difference between files at tasks and documents is very good to get projects organized.
Cons
The way of handling the timeline is not flexible as it shoud. The connectivity of phases and related issues could be better and more flexible in the way of doing frame timing and not exactly the issue time.

There are no excuses to get the control of your project
I have two computers one with a MS Project license for profesional use and the other one with Open Project. That bring me the oportunity to open MS Project files in both computers with a single license.
Pros
The most is that this software is free, under no licenses nor trial version
Cons
You could miss some perfomance and funtionality in the case your are expertise user of other Project software like MS Project for instance.

Great platform
My first experience with any project management tool and its going great. Only using it in a very basic manner at the moment. Some short comings maybe with timelines and some filtering of work packages but my expectations may be too much. Keep up the good work and try get the price down a bit for single users/small teams!

OpenProject
Pros
Good alternative to Microsoft Project, plus has some capability for swimlane formatting etc. Can get a lot done with just the free trial.
Cons
Will need to purchase a monthly license for cloud and enterprise options.

Still a rookie, but learning fast ....
Would love to have a "print" or "report" function for management reporting. Haven't found yet how to do budget planning per quarter (actuals for the past, forecasts for the future, estimate-to-complete for the project) so that I can forecast when we expect invoices and cash-outs. On the same note would be able to consolidate on project portfolio level
Pros
Good functionality
Cons
Lacking gantt chart drag and drop Work packages interface cluttered

It's free and easy to use (Open Project Community version)
Pros
Well, first of all it's Open Source and it has a good community. You've got a lot of functionality and control over everything. I like the welcome screen as it has all the necessary links to Help files and the pop-up video is a good addition. Takes a tiny bit of a learning curve to get everything set-up but once it's done it's great.

Still need for enterprise features
Ressource Management for managing your resources on a time basis, time management could be very improved. Standard Templates for Tasks would be a nice feature too, and in general there is a lot of enterprise features which is not there.
Pros
Nice interface and build upon a good concept.
Cons
The need for enterprise features.

Worked great for me! I like it!!
Pros
Very good to organize your projects, its free to implement, I feel it very easy to use a good option for free
Cons
I think it is not very flexible with other files. The performance could be better. The interface can improve
