We use PROJECT to plan and manage projects for ourselves (Container Terminal Automation, Machine Design, Software design) as well as for others (small to medium sized commercial construction).
- PROJECT is tightly integrated with Diagram and MindMap, the two other tools in the CD Suite. This allows me to do initial scoping in MindMap and then switch to PROJECT and go back and forth as new requirements are exposed and tasks are developed.
- For projects that entail the development of mechanical or electro-mechanical systems it is necessary to develop a topology of the system. By using MindMap I can define the required elements of the system, switch to Diagram to develop an initial layout of the components of the system and then switch to PROJECT to start defining the task to develop the system. Once the system has been defined I use CD Solutions to generate presentations that incorporate the reports and dashboards generated by PROJECT.
- PROJECT is cross platform (Mac and Windows). We are a Mac shop, so the ability to import Microsoft Project and Visio charts and export to those formats as well saves a lot of heartburn when so many of our partners and potential customers are Windows users.
- PERT charts can be generated in PROJECT but only for one task or task group at a time. I would welcome the ability to generate a PERT chart for the entire project.
- As a Mac shop I would like to have the ability to export directly to Keynote.

ConceptDraw PROJECT is being used by my department to manage projects across cross-functional teams.
- Integration with ConceptDraw MINDMAP makes work breakdown very easy.
- We have cross-functional teams where team members often work on different projects in parallel. The multi project management feature has been a blessing over these years.
- Another import feature is the availability of many different predefined report generation templates that made it very easy to communicate different aspects of the project to different stakeholders.
- We had to spend a good amount of time to understand all the features so some interactive built-in tutorials would have made getting started easier.
- The UI does not look so good in macOS Catalina Dark Mode and I often switch to light mode when working on this software.
- Multiple people working on the same project at a time cannot update as there is no way to synchronize changes so we put the file in our code repo but manually co-ordinate to make sure only one of us is changing the plan at a time.

We don't need to do a lot of formal project plans in our business, but when we do ConceptDraw PROJECT is a great economical way to put together a professional looking project. It has all the project tracking essentials: the Gantt chart, resource/budget tracking, the ability to combine multiple projects, and a reasonable number of reports. The interface is easy to use with a mouse, but the keyboard shortcuts take some getting used to (ctrl-rightarrow to indent a task?). It doesn't have the more advanced calculations for project time estimates that can be found in MS Project, but it can both open and export in the MS Project format as well as Excel and PDF so sharing with customers is easy even if they don't have the ConceptDraw suite. Overall this is a great product for the price and exactly what we need for putting together a few formal projects each year.
- Clear, intuitive interface
- Multiple industry standard export types
- Non-intuitive keyboard shortcuts
- No advanced reporting or estimates
