Overall Satisfaction with GanttPRO

My son is using Gantt tools to plan a one year, around the world trip.

Certain parts of the trip must happen on certain dates (pre-booked reservations) while other parts of the trip are flexible, and just need to occur after the previous task/location is done.

GanttPRO was the only online Gantt tool that was able to handle these types of dependencies between tasks, and provide an overview of estimated dates for each location.
  • Multiple options for defining dependencies between tasks.
  • Timeline can automatically be adjusted when earlier tasks are changed.
  • Easy to use, yet with powerful features.
  • We haven't encountered any yet.
  • The only Gantt tool that met our needs. I'd prefer paper to the other tools we tried.
  • Helps visualize the entire 12-15 months, and identify gaps in the anticipated schedule.
The other tools had trouble automatically adjusting the schedule when an earlier task is changed or had very limited options in defining dependencies between tasks. These were really important features for us to visualize the schedule for a year.
We tried out several Gantt products and quickly encountered limitations in all of them, except with GanttPRO. I think if you need to define relationships between tasks, then GanttPRO is the winner. We were able to define certain tasks as must be occurring on a given date; tasks that must occur before other tasks, and have a timeline automatically updated. It is easy to drill down and examine your timeline.
