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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
