Overall Satisfaction with GanttPRO

I have been using GanttPRO for the last few weeks and have found it has helped me to organize my tasks (both in school and at work), keep me accountable for the work to be completed as well as increase my proficiency/productivity. From an academic perspective, I use it to manage my course deadlines and studying needs because my degree is a self-paced program. Having the ability to layout the next several courses allows me to plan out when classes will be done and anticipate when I will be graduating. I can use the GanttPRO charts to break down different projects (papers, presentations) I need to do and make sure all are organized to ensure total completion. The interface is very user-friendly and makes working on project management an easy task. I have worked with other tools such as Microsoft Project, Wrike, and Asana and found those tools did not have the specific format I needed for my assignments or reporting needed for my job. One feature I like most about GanttPRO is the ability to track time on task. This has allowed me to see where I spend most of my time and how I can eliminate steps but still complete parts of the project.
  • The interface is very easy to use and follow
  • Inviting people to work on a project is helpful when working in teams
  • Reporting options that are suitable with PMI practices
  • Easier mobile access
  • Intuitive reporting
  • Color coding could be a bit easier based on the hierarchy of tasks
  • Time on task
  • Work completion - meeting deadlines
  • Organization of the multiple projects happening for one client
I have used several different tools before, such as Wrike, Asana, Ayoa, Microsoft Project, and many of those were clunky or cumbersome and I didn't feel like they were meeting my needs. I find that GanttPRO is much easier to use and it is very self-explanatory. I had to watch several tutorials to understand how to use some of those other tools but with GanttPRO I was able to log in and get started right away.
