Verified User Chose ProjectLibre Both of those other options are paid options and do not mimic MS Project. While those tools are great in their own right, ProjectLibre is truly unique in that it basically emulates MS Project and does it really well for free. Incentivized Helpful? Ramprasad Rangachary, PMP® Product Manager in Information Technology at Inchcape Shipping Services (Financial Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose ProjectLibre 1) Ability to access project plans created using MS Projects - MS Projects license is expensive and we cannot have all users assigned one.

Patrick Stephens Consultant at Consulting (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose ProjectLibre ProjectLibre is open-sourced, so constantly on the verge of getting better. I think this one is more suited against other workflow programs because it is built for function and (like referenced in another section) not meant to be something you can distract your boss with to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose ProjectLibre The significant reason for choosing Project Libre is that it's free and my business is very small. In fact, we have less than 10 employees.

The cost to benefits that ProjectLibre provides along with their similar features to Microsoft makes ProjectLibre a leader in the project … Incentivized Helpful? David Thomas IT Project Manager in Information Technology at All-in-1 (Staffing and Recruiting, 1001-5000 employees) Chose ProjectLibre I was looking for something free, and ProjectLibre met my needs. I had used another Gantt program, but it was discontinued. TeamGantt has also been introduced, and I tried it but came back to ProjectLibre because of familiarity. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	ProjectLibre
Likelihood to Recommend	ProjectLibre As a project management tool, especially with more straightforward timelines and components, ProjectLibre is a great alternative to some of the costly PM software tools. I have managed many projects with both MS Project and ProjectLibre, and I think ProjectLibre is a great alternative, especially when I've worked in regions of the world where users cannot afford other PM tools.

Pros	ProjectLibre ProjectLibre is great for project management. It allows us to establish milestones and timeline planning for projects. It allows us to stay organized among multiple projects. It is extremely simple to use with a simple interface. It takes little time to plan out a project with key dates and provides a nice graphic. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	ProjectLibre Customer service is not there - I understand that the product is open source but some kind of forum with FAQs, etc. can come in handy App crashes at time for no reason. There have been instances where you try to create a new task and all the diagrams and other items get messed up Incentivized Ramprasad Rangachary, PMP® Product Manager Read full review
Support Rating	ProjectLibre There are a lot of discussions online about it, and a customer addition based manual. While that can lead to some confusion, I am not the kind of person who likes talking on the phone. So it is easier to go online with ProjectLibre!

Return on Investment	ProjectLibre ProjectLibre is free so it has allowed us to collaborate on MS Project files for users that run a Mac or Linux machine Learning curve is minimal since it so closely resembles MS Project Not all MS Project features (especially the newer editions) are present but it's best for users that are not the primary PM to user ProjectLibre.
