It is cost-effective and have a great user interface. The application is supported on many platforms(windows, linux). The linking of the elements to the team members is a very useful tool.

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven D. | Product Development Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

It fulfills my customer's expectations when it comes to providing Gantt chart timelines for my various programs.

The software is cumbersome and aesthetically is a step behind MS Projects 'clean, crisp' look.

Managing program timelines is difficult; certain activities have deadlines, and the proceeding activities must be sequenced and accounted for to prevent procrastination and program crunch.

  ### 5. Review of  Project Libre

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Babu R. | Senior R&D Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2022

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

Free, easy to get started with it to aid in project management, lightweight in terms of memory footprint, it has major functionalities and features of similar project management tools.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

It does not support Mac OS very well, it does crash sometimes and currently, when i use apple mouse (Air Mouse) to scroll on-screen horizontally, it is not correctly performed in Project Libre.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is a great free tool for Project Management, and as a user, I have found it very relevant to what is preached for project management by Project Management Institute (PMI) and the likes.

  ### 6. Very good short projects and easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aldo Y. | Civil Enginnering and Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2022

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

What I like the most is that everything related to project management can be applied in a very simple way without the need to load libraries or make advanced configurations as it happens with other programs.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

A little more work could be done in the area of the graphic interface to obtain results that are a little more eye-catching for the final presentations of the projects and that are easily understood by non-experts.

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

It is a very simple to use and very powerful tool due to its complete compatibility with almost any project management standard used today, and above all it is free, so the advantages over any other similar commercial software is very great. Cost management, once costs are estimated by another tool, is already very easy to do, mainly to see the variations between actual costs and planned costs. On the other hand, schedules are very easy to make, and all types of rules between sequences of activities are allowed, as well as delays and overruns. It is a tool that every project manager should try out.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Everything related to time and cost management of not very complex projects. However, I did not find the cost analysis part very useful, i.e. breaking down a cost into its parts.

  ### 7. ProjectLibre helping on managing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fernando José G. | Professor

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2022

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

ProjectLibre is free software to manage a project. Its files are effortless to understand and very practical for an MS Project user.  It is easy to use if you have some concepts of project management. It helps in planning calendars for resources.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

ProjectLibre does not have zoom on the Gantt Chart.  This zoom helps a lot in the planning stage because some details are on the screen.  Zoom changing is essential for a detailed project with many tasks outside the main screen.  
The dates on tasks are difficult to read in other formats.  This tool could help.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing some works on independent works and using the calendars for tasks is a benefit. Reviewing the overused resource is the main solved problem. Using ProjectLibre, we rescheduled some tasks.

  ### 8. Good to have ProjectLibre

This is a simple, efficient and free download program. Fit my work.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

I used to use Microsoft Project. ProjectLiber has fewer features relative to Microsoft one.

  ### 14. ProjectLibre - Power Project Management

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2020

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

The software is easy to use and user friendly. It did not take much time to get a handle of its features. I was able to create time phased budgets and Gantt charts for the first time shortly after installation.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

The user interface lacks the visual flair of its competitors but this is a minor issue considering the ease of use/ available features.

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

Evaluate other potential solutions but you cannot beat this software. I have used other cloud based solutions but I thoroughly enjoyed utilizing ProjectLibre for managing my projects. It was easy to leverage features that are more difficult in other solutions that also cost a lot from a licensing perspective.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

ProjectLibre has assisted in growing my knowledge about project management. The benefits is that the software affords me the ability to manage and track projects from start to finish without leveraging multiple pieces of software.

  ### 15. ProjectLibre is so far  the best GUI multi-platform  open-sourced  gantt chart scheduler.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ysmael R. | Data Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2020

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

What amazes me from other Gantt Charts is the .mpx format where you can type-in code  and still open in ProjectLibre. The printing is remarkable unlike any other. You can adjust scale of the timeline and compressed everything to fit properly into the page(s).

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

Needs to improve on 1) having a Title at the headers; 2) a legend of symbols of what the bars mean; 3)  a faster way/ better design in inputting calendar holidays.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Where to place the Title of the Project for one is nowhere to be found. Although the program is easy to use by a un-experienced user.

  ### 16. Good Free Project Management Software

**Reviewed by:** Wendy T. | Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Project Libre is good for those looking for a simple project management software to track projects.

ProjectLibre let's me create work plans and project schedules. It has helped me prepare Ganntt charts.

Project Libre is an easy to use free project management software.

It takes a bit of time getting used to the user interface.

Project Libre lets me manage my projects, create work plans, assign resources, schedule tasks, etc.

  ### 18. A great alternative to plan projects

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hernan S. | Gestor de Proyectos de IT y Soporte de Aplicativos, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2019

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

ProjectLibre has simple commands to schedule jobs, phases and activities. It is also possible to see the progress of the activities. It has an excellent schedule of the Gantt chart that helps the work schedule and allows to adjust each one of the needs. Finally, this software properly handles XML export.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

Sometimes, when entering records for project tasks, the program has an inconvenience when it tries to open a correction in a cell and it takes time to enter the record again.

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

ProjectLibre is an open source solution that is definitely easy to use and with a variety of tasks that include the scope, time and budget necessary to carry out the development of a project. I recommend it.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use ProjectLibre to deal with the projects requested by the manager, to track the costs and hours that are dedicated to the development, in addition to maintaining a detailed record of all the advances and the composition in all phases of development.

  ### 19. Nice and small software to manage your project/time

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Research | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2019

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

Amazingly small software but very useful. It is very easy to use. No more procrastination

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

Wish it can be linked to phone and computer calendar to set up some useful reminder. Not a big deal but sometimes it is needed

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

Please have a help/manual document available and it is probably very helpful for new user if there are some description of the tab/functionatilies

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing my time and project to keep track of the progress. Most of the times the adjustment are needed. It is extremely useful and really make me work more efficiently. I feel I have more time to enjoy my hobbies after using this.

  ### 20. Best Free Project Management Program

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gustavo E. | Site Reliability Engineer, Food Production, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2019

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

Creating an organized Project based on the PMBOK can be a breeze and the interface is very intuitive if you've ever used MS Project. This is truly a great free and open source alternative to MS Project, especially if you want to do traditional project management based on the PMBOK

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

The interface leaves something to be desired as the zoom is not very well implemented and Portfolio management is primitive at best. There is no Kanban view and absolutely no support for Agile Projects

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Traditional Project Management is a breeze and it's free version is enough to be compared to MS Project.

  ### 21. Schedule Your Project Precisely

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** SOORAJ P. | iOS Developer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2019

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

Not Only Scheduling, ProjectLibre facilitates flexibility in dates at any point. Its security feature takes care of the aligning dates on its own if you have linked your module to other so change in predecessor module automatically changes dates in its inherited module. 
Most liked feature, according to me, is its versatility. Just fill the spreadsheet and in output you can generate 4 charts i.e. gantt, network, WBS, network usage chart along with crucial reports. Additionally, resources can also be assigned to individual module and completion status of the modules can be checked at any time.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

Once created, changes in the dates can be troublesome. Though its easy to set up but UI is not that great which can lead to confusions while pointing out specific mistakes.
Limitation of number of charts in free version but that's one should not be greedy in trial version. Its paid versions are great though.
New user can stumble while using it but after some analysis or working for a while would surely change his/her opinion.

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

Do not judge book by its cover, UI may not be catchy but it's surely got some differentiating features under its sleeves.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Even the smallest project needs proper alignment of modules by planning ahead and estimating completion of various its branch modules along with its budget which should be finished before deadlines. ProjectLibre has been one stop for Kals Infotech. This tool has easy management feature that supports most of our project out of which most are websites, android and iOS developments. ProjectLibre makes employee stick to the plan and allow them to plan their schedule like vacations or some refreshing stuffs if they complete modules before time assuring them that the project would still finish on time.

  ### 22. A great way to keep traking of your projects

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julio A R. | Projects Engineer, Civil Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2019

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

Is very easy to handle, navigation around the gantt chart and a very intuitive way to add activities and create and easy to follow environment to our activities on field. On our planning aspects we can add from the staff and the cost a project may have, and the possible scenarios to it. Also we can handle the time invested on any work we want to do and the balance cost - profit to evaluate the benefits of our company.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

The software stills a little rough and is kink of difficult to add new activities to a complete gantt chart of a project, already defined. When we tried to add some activities, which happens all time on projects development, we tried to add as a new project, is much easier.  

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

All projects company must have a project tracking software to manage the whole company, this is a requirement when is an engineer company, in order to evaluate how the administrative part of the company is handling the technical aspects of it. Is important to consider technical aspects the company must meet, to be inserted at accounting department of the company, in order to talk the same language on the whole organization.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I solve all the projects my company address on the last year, since keeping track on the projects we are doing on our company, following the costs and the hours we dedicated on each projects is very important to keep the record and see what areas to improve our behavior, such as design and administrative phase of the project.

  ### 24. Open Source product project management tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kam M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2017

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

Has many similar functions to MS Project and is a good alternative for small projects where you don't need the office suite integration. Compatible with several versions of MS Project. Although I've not used it on other platforms (MAC OS, Linux) it has the capability. The learning curve was easy since I had past experience with MS Project.

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

Does not appear to have all the functions that I had with past software but since it's open source they continue to add functionality.  Have not tried it using the same project file with multiple users yet, so that is still a concern for the future.

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

They are working on a cloud implementation which we would be very interested in.  It would seem this direction would be in line with many companies long term goals.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are a small business so an open source software that covers most of the major functionality we need allows us to limit our cost of deployment.

  ### 30. Efficient and easy to understand, but lack of features

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fabien R. | Freelance SEO & translations, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Free and open source.
Rapidity of creation.
Diagrams are automatically created
You can use all the main management diagrams needed like PERT, management of tasks and resources.
It allows you to rapidly see what key points you'll have to clear during the project.


**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

Lack of flexibility and strange behavior of the interface. Not always well scaled for the Gant diagrams for example.
Lack of personnalisation (Color of the typography / highligh) which can make it difficult to organize things visualy when you have a lot of tasks going on in your project.
Not very easy to share with co-workers.
The menu and interface is quite old though, not very attractive which affects its user-friendliness.


**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

Don't use it as the only software for project management, but it's good for the principal and most important tasks for project plannig. It's a good way to create rapid overview as well.
Look for other complementary software to go with it, like mind mapping tools for example.

Time management and resource management during project.
Keep track of the progress in time and manage costs.
Anticipating problems of organisation.

It is open source and in continuous development at the same time, with regular updates. Also, it is free and a very good alternative of Microsoft Office.

I strongly recommend ProjectLibre to users being fed up with Microsoft Office and its updates and silly requirements. It is also open source, so in continuous development.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used it a couple of times for testing and writing some reports and essays for my university courses on my DICE machines in the laboratories.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2016

**What do you like best about ProjectLibre?**

I really like all the functionalities offered.  The different applications are very similar to Microsoft, and that makes it an easy transition.  Also, very cost effective!

**What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?**

The only thing "negative" is that, if you know Microsoft products really well, it can be difficult to located similar options on ProjectLibre.  It's probably still there, just in a different spot, and/or with a different name.

**Recommendations to others considering ProjectLibre:**

Definitely at least give it a try.  I'm sure you'll like it.

**What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am the owner of my business, and the soleemployee.  The savings, especially compared to buying something like Microsoft office, is significant.
