Lucen Timeline Reviews & Product Details

The PowerPoint add-in produced a clean timeline the one time I used it; the product itself was not the problem, the billing was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Annual subscription bought in March 2023, used once. It was renewed automatically in 2024, 2025 and 2026, and the price went from EUR 95 to EUR 142.91 and then EUR 224 without my being told. That is EUR 462 gone for nothing. The renewal notices went to an address whose domain had expired in 2022. I had no access to my customer account and could not cancel online.

I cancelled in writing on 2 October 2026 and asked for a refund of the last charge. Customer service replied on 9 October that managing the subscription and keeping the address up to date is the account holder's responsibility, and offered only a prorated refund or a transfer of the subscription to another account. Automatic renewal was turned off. The full refund I asked for under French consumer law has not been granted so far.

A piece of advice: TURN OFF automatic renewal right after your first use, and don't count on their professionalism to take responsibility. Billing without delivering anything doesn't seem to bother them at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Office Timeline Pro really does make it easy to create a project Gantt chart that makes sense to the audiences I am trying to persuade. And as the audience can assimilate and interact with my plans, I also get buy-in and approval. I'm also now using it for technology evolution roadmaps and it's a helpful way to visualize complex information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not easy when a project won't fit on a single PPT page. I find it easier to create two different timelines. It would be helpful if there was a way to auto-scale to one page. Or at least make it easier to universally shrink font and graphic sizes manually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the user interface of Office Timeline because it's user-friendly and intuitive. I appreciate the ability to create text-based timelines that automatically convert into visual timelines. It really speeds up the process and makes it easy to create good looking, professional timelines. I also love how you can apply themes on top of the timelines to get the exact look and feel you're going for, and how it integrates on top of Microsoft PowerPoint. The setup was very easy since it's just an installer that integrates with Microsoft Office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So it doesn't work on macOS environment, so I'll always need to run it either online or on a virtual machine running Windows. It would be great if they bring this to Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The stunning visuals are unmatched by any other software. The timelines make me look professional, polished, and really captivate my leadership team. It’s incredibly easy to use, with simple integrations with Smartsheet, Project and a few others so data importing is a breeze. The drag-and-drop interface that lets you create the perfect layout in minutes. A true game-changer for creating impressive project visuals quickly! I use it weekly to update my status slides.

I wish I could compress the timescale when there are large gaps of time between tasks and milestones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For decades I have hoped for an easier solution to displaying Gantt visuals out of MS Project. This product completely addresses that gap! I am a huge fan. I opted for the Expert version and love the huge variety of templates, style options, and import capabilities that it offers. Their roll-out has been exceptional with free Zoom training sessions at various levels of experience and a variety of helpful resources. Excellent product. The plug-in integration was also seamless.

I haven't found anything to dislike yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since years it was a bad mood work to create timelines for presentations. Now it is a happy work with less affords to reach the goal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation of page breaks would be helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is user friendly, looks exactly as management would like to see a visual of any timeline and very self explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its connectivity with other SW applications.

It can look amazing but would be even better if it could be integrated as part of a project management tool and not only as an extraction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how it can simply display my timelines and data. I am visual and this helps me explain project order of operations to clients and peers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are doing something simple it is easy to get going, but if you want something complex or perfect it does have a steep learning curve for complex projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Office Timeline is a Power Point add-on that lets you present project Timelines in several useful ways. It's pretty easy to set up and use with almost no issues reported from users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a Power Point add-on, Office Timeline depends on Office updates that may break it from time to time, though it's fixed pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you can input all your values and axis labels. You can also change the appearance with colors and fonts, and you can embed it in your work, be it PowerPoint presentations or word documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are limits to how much text you can have in a single line while maintaining a balanced appearance. Also, certain timelines have watermarks which do not look professional when embedded in documents. There is a bit of a learning curve with the actual program, and at I did not find it to be the most intuitive to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
