The visualization and ability to modify cards, tasks, etc. are the best quality points of OpenProject.

What do you dislike about OpenProject? Its initial setup is laborious, requiring a lot of attention and dedication to tailor it to your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenProject solving and how is that benefiting you? OpenProject ensures that my team and I have a broad understanding of the projects that are in operation, and with the configuration that was carried out, we can divide work topics into categories that align with our roles and projects.

AN Adrian N. CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/20/2020 "A complex and felxible solution to project management and bug tracking." 4/5 What do you like best about OpenProject? 1. It can be used on own server, without cloud. 2. It's open source and free in standard version. 3. It has very intuitive interface. 4. It's often updated. 5. It has extensive configuration, possibility of custom fields definition. 6. It has a wide range of usage. 7. If offers many useful features: workflows (tasks statuses vs. roles), budgets, Gantt charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenProject? 1. Despite the frequent updates, the software is still buggy. 2. It has only basic system of permissions e.g. lack of privileges on levels lower than a project like on work packages or custom fields. 3. Budgets management is very limited e.g. there are neither margin option nor possibility to use common budget for couple projects. 4. It still lacks a some system of automation e.g. possibility to write some scripts, define own views for all projects at once etc. 5. Working with many projects is very limited. 6. You cannot use custom fields in many features like cost reports or my page widgets. 7. The external API is still underdeveloped. 8. Lack of KPI's, resource management and employees efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenProject: OpenProject is a good and trustworthy solution but it is only a tool. First you need to define your own needs, create your own processes and then decide if this software can fulfill your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenProject solving and how is that benefiting you? 1. We use this software mainly to bug tracking, project management and simply time based settlements. 2. With OpenProject we have greater control over our work and responsibility. 3. We have better communication with our clients and inside our team. 4. Consequently we can offer better quality services, reduce cost of products development, stay on schedule and keep costs and resources to budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform, which seems so simple at first glance, offers many customization possibilities. The important thing is to know exactly how we want to use it, and we will have very important customization options. What I enjoy the most is how fast it is; it is a powerful yet very lightweight software. In our company, we have it installed on a local server, and the access speed through the intranet is unbeatable, but it also remains fast when we are working remotely or from home and access it via the Internet. The ease of creating tasks and assigning them to people, as well as creating work packages within a project, is unbeatable. The large number of options when creating a work package is very useful, as is the ability to assign custom statuses to these work packages. Finally, the relationship we can establish between tasks is also extremely useful, with the ability to add predecessors easily and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenProject? The only feature I miss from this tool is the ability to create visual schedules in the "spreadsheet" style that other market options offer. Although it provides the possibility to generate project timelines, this functionality has been of little use to me when it comes to projecting tasks that will be carried out in a future time period and that I need to visualize graphically in the form of a calendar with phases, tasks, and relationships between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenProject: To successfully implement this tool, it is essential to have a clear understanding of its intended use. The way internal processes are structured is key to doing it correctly. Additionally, the most appropriate approach is to have a gradual migration process from another platform. This way, we avoid data loss or realizing that we lack vital features when it's too late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenProject solving and how is that benefiting you? It is currently used to manage the task allocation of different work teams within the company, with the ability to track compliance with timelines, goals, and quality standards. This task allocation covers the entire spectrum of action of our agency, from receiving technical support tickets from clients to passing requirements to specific technical teams, to the billing, collection, and payment process to suppliers. Additionally, we developed an in-house tracking tool through which the time spent on all the company's operational tasks is tracked, allowing for more accurate costing.

AL Abel L. Project Coordinator and Analyst Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/5/2018 "OpenProject - An excellent application for tracking projects and effort" 3.5/5 What do you like best about OpenProject? The effort tracking feature is one feature of this application that I love the most. It is designed very efficiently that makes it easy for the users to use it. Creating filters and saving them is one main feature that I love the most. It helps to save time and you could get all the information at the click of a button. Creating custom rows and columns under while creating Cost Reports is another thing that is very useful. I do this on a weekly basis and has helped me in achieving different types of Reports for my senior managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenProject? One main thing that I dislike about this application is its inability to expand and collapse tasks. When a parent task has multiple children and it ranges over to multiple pages, it makes it difficult to track the tasks. You would not be able to know which child comes under which parent if the parent and child is in a different page. It would be great if the OpenProject UX designer see this as a serious issue and make necessary pages, this would resolve a lot of problems. It would also be great if a new feature could be included to export Cost Reports in excel sheets so that Utilization reports of different teams could be calculated in an excel sheet.

It also help you organize tasks and features of your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenProject solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/5/2018 "Excellent app - would be good to have report exporting " 3.5/5 What do you like best about OpenProject? I have been using OpenProject for the past 2 years. I was using Redmine previously in my company before moving to OpenProject. I love the UI offered by OpenProject - it's not as boring or monotonous as Redmine. As a project manager, I constantly monitor the status of bugs reported within my projects. The ease of use in setting up filters and saving these filters privately/publicly is a feature that has helped me within my organization and with my clients. Setting a custom filter to filter out the features that are being developed in different phases and creating a separate menu item for this filter helps my clients get a quick idea about the features that my team is developing in each phase of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenProject? it would be really great if there was an option to export cost report. While trying to understand the resource utilization within my project, exporting the cost report as an excel sheet will greatly help me in filtering out different reports. Also, there have been many cases where I get a server error when uploading documents. My clients have reported the same issue, which is very annoying when you are trying to share important documents.

Recommendations to others considering OpenProject: It's an amazing tool which is very easy to use and covers every aspect of Project Management in the simplest way possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenProject solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bussiness Analyst Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/27/2018 "Very good but has a room for improvement" 3.5/5 What do you like best about OpenProject? Have been using it for around 2 years now to manage projects of various sizes. Easy to understand and master it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenProject? Inability to group & minimize child work packages under a parent. This leads to a lot of clutter for projects of a reasonable size. UI improvements are needed. Especially with the filters & cost reports. While there is an option to maintain relationship between work packages in different projects, there is no way that the contents or the statuses can be reflected automatically when change is made on one of them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenProject solving and how is that benefiting you? Open Project is best suited for small to medium sized projects. With the issues mentioned above, it creates a lot of clutter for large size projects. Agile-Scrum management is also not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
