Overall Satisfaction with ProjectLibre

We have ProjectLibre available in our company as cheap alternative to MS Project.
  • Cost efficient
  • Does adapt most simple functions of MS Project quite well
  • In general a bit buggy, had more than one crash
  • Doesn't have the features of a professional project management tool
  • Missing especially VBA scripting
  • None, really, since I replaced it with MS Project after the first project
  • Positiv: I got to use it as an argument for investing in the license of a professional tool
As already mentioned, ProjectLibre doesn't hold up well against a professional project management tool.
It is quite suited for simple projects and if you don't need to advanced features of other tools and if you don't need simple scripting extensibility. My main driver on using it for a project at all was the license cost difference to a professional tool. However, for complex projects, I simple can't recommend it and didn't stick with it myself.

Do you think ProjectLibre delivers good value for the price?

Yes

No

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Is can be used for simple projects if a professional tool is not available.
I wouldn't recommend it for more complex projects.
