Overall Satisfaction with ProjectLibre

As an IT Management instructor, I use ProjectLibre (open source) to show my students an efficient way to manage their projects. I have also used ProjectLibre to manage my own projects in Language Development and Translation. In my opinion, ProjectLibre is easier to use than MS Project; yet ProjectLibre can be used to open MS Project files.
  • Task Assignment and Accountability
  • Tracking Tasks throughout the life of project
  • Excellent visual representation of project progress
  • Translation into KiSwahili and other African languages of wider communication would be great.
  • It's great to be able to open an MS Project file, but I'd love to be able to change my work back to an MS Project file when I'm done.
  • It's hard not to compare ProjectLibre with MS Project because it really does have a lot of the same functionality. However, I wish the user interface was a bit more appealing and intuitive. Still, this is not a serious drawback.
  • I have often worked for nonprofit organizations who try to stretch their dollars. ProjectLibre is a lifesaver in this regard.
ProjectLibre offer many of the same functionalities as MS Project , but at no cost! While the user interface might not be as aesthetically pleasing or intuitive as MS Project, ProjectLibre still gets the job done while enabling substantial cost savings. Both products are excellent, but open source software that performs as well as ProjectLibre is hard to beat!

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.
