    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.

    Yamdu
    Even for a small business like mine, Yamdu really felt like a one-stop shop for everything. It's hard to find a comprehensive software for film/video productions, but Yamdu has everything we need. The only thing that really held us back was the cost, ultimately. If anything, I would love a storyboarding feature that let you set the time per shot and build out a sequence in pre-production. I used Storyboarder for this currently and it's very helpful, especially for music videos, to be able to build out a storyboard, set a music/audio track to it, then play it back in real time and see the pacing of the shoot.

    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.

    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

    • More specific financial management reports.
    • Creation of some instant messaging software for the team.

    Yamdu
    What you see is what you get. It's easy to start working when you setup your first project. Also team members do not need many new to learn skills to work with the basic functions. Really incredible is Yamdu's help center. It is always available in the right corner. A lot of topics are covered with video links. If you need personal assistance, you can write a message within the help-box and Yamdu's crew is really fast in responding!

    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!

    Alternatives Considered
    ProjectLibre
    We decided to go with ProjectLibre because it is a free tool and there is a great community that supports us in case there are any questions or concerns about the software. This has allowed us to be able to invest time without having to worry about licensing costs or anything else.

    Yamdu
    At the time, there really wasn't anything else like Yamdu. Especially as, in Celtx's case, at that time they weren't doing Excel/CSV exports of shot lists in the A/V format, something we required for what we were shooting. I understand that StudioBinder has increased its featureset the past few years, but Yamdu always felt like the most robust option and more familiar with the film/tv world.

    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.

    • Positive impact, centralized place with some good tools for film productions
    • Negative impact, not that flexible and as expected and strict pricing policy with little flexibility
