Also I can calculate, cost and program down payments along with the works advance charts. With the Gantt chart schedule, help me to compare the programed construction works with the real construction execution, allowing me to adjust every day the needs of the work in order to finished the construction work at time or even better, to improve the time for finished the contract. > > **Cons**: I need to implement lot of information about the construction staff hourly cost, I Include others costs like materials, transportation and equipment just to achieve a real value of cost, but I would like if every one of this elements could under the consideration of the developers in order to make a most flexible and adaptable software to construction industry, it will be a big improvement. > > With this software I could present all my projects in the construction industry, such as the construction of the guard house and the garbage room for a building. I could tell my customers how to reach the schedule time of delivery of works, the critical activities during the construction and the relation of advance of construction vs down payments. All the tools allows me to explain clearly and detailed to my customers every cent they invest on the construction work and where is it. ----- ### "Decent free software for managing projects" — 3.0/5 > **Jason** | *20 March 2018* > > **Pros**: Project Libre provides a pretty close alternative to MSProject for free. It has most features that MSProjeft 2007 has. > > **Cons**: Not a complete replacement and it is missing quite a few features that MSProject has. Has not kept up with MSProject versions and many newer features are missing which makes it much less attractive. ----- ### ""ProjectLibre" does have it's short comings but nearly at par with other similar softwares." — 5.0/5 > **Ysmael** | *27 April 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What's amazing about this product is that it is a multi-platform product. It can be installed on a Windows and Linux computer. Am running ProjectLibre on a Linux computer and it is really the best alternative out there in the market to Microsoft Projects. Also, the printing capabilities, wherein you can adjust the timeline scale and paper size formats. This is the one of the amazing features for an open-source product. Our company is oriented towards open-source softwares and previously we were using TaskJuggler2.3.1 which has also powerful but has it's own learning curve issues. > > **Cons**: So far as I have been constantly using this product for a number of years now. I think a project header title is missing. But, nevertheless what I do I put the project title at the footer line instead. It would be nice if someday they could add more flexibility of changing the colors of the gantt bar. > > As I have been using this almost everyday, the demand for changing schedules dates frequently can be a drag. But this product, ProjectLibre has been a very useful tool in getting things done in the office. ----- ### "Project Libre is extremely useful as a possible software solution alternative to Microsoft Project where unique compatibility is not strictly required." — 5.0/5 > **Louis** | *15 March 2018* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely easy to use , Project Libre supports a wide variety of tasks including scope, time, and budget needed to create our local projects for company use. The software is supported on all major OS platforms including MAC OS, Linux, and MS Windows. > > **Cons**: Project Libre projects can take some time to load when the project sizes are larger and there is a relative lack of customer support, but we believe that is to be expected when dealing with an open source and freeware software......not much to dislike frankly. Be aware that plenty of curated user community specific online support materials exist and are most helpful. > > Download freely and easy to use......if there aren't constraints requiring Microsoft Project implementation......Project Libre will suit quite well to creating new projects across the widest file categories and project types .....at our company we are extremely happy with Project Libre's flexibility and ease of use. It is quite intuitive to operate as well. Project Libre is a welcome software solution as an addition to our operating environment. Project Libre absolutely helped our company organize our file project load, as well as allowing us to use fewer organization software solutions. Keep in mind it is freeware so there is a lack of readily available direct online customer service support however one can access online tutorials quite readily from existing user forums. This user support is most helpful....we would recommend Project Libres use to any company and users interested. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/47557/projectlibre?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/47557/projectlibre) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
