Overall Satisfaction with ProjectLibre
ProjectLibre was used to support cross-platform usage of project management tools in tracking and managing various projects within our organization. Primarily we use PM software to track and plan projects annually with overarching programs that coordinate smaller projects beneath.
- Cloud-based platform (beta)
- Familiar interface - exactly like MS Project
- Free and open source
- Cross-platform - Mac and Linux support
- The UI is a bit dated
- It's more inline with Project 2009 but the core functionalities are all there
- Full cloud offering would be great
- 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.
- Wrike and Smartsheet
Both of those other options are paid options and do not mimic MS Project. While those tools are great in their own right, ProjectLibre is truly unique in that it basically emulates MS Project and does it really well for free.
