It might struggle within very large enterprise projects with hundreds of contributors - i havent tested > > great choice for most projects. Simple and quick to get up and running and users dont necessarily need a depth of knowledge on PM tooling. ----- ### "A promissing software that lacks proper support" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 August 2023* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about GanttProject is the fact that it's been around, multiplatform and free for many years now, and it comes with a strong community.It's easy to find tutorials and/or support on the existing features, making it very accessible to anyone who would like to try Gantt Charts organisation for their own project. > > **Cons**: GanttProject is lacking a proper bug management, at the moment of the review, there are many bugs related to the management of time off that makes the software almost unusable for a proper and professional management.It's fine for small teams, and projects, but as soon as you want to expend to large range of teams and employees, with various holidays and time off, it doesn't deliver, and the tool becomes almost unsable. > > I had strong expectations from GanttProject. I've played around with it many years ago, and I was hoping to find a more robust and solid tool for my professional needs, but I ended up with a tool that promises a lot but delivered only a few.It's a very good software for personnal projects and tasks management, but I won't be using it professionally. ----- ### "Very Powerful Open Source Project Management and Schedule Software" — 4.0/5 > **Brennan** | *11 May 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: compatible across multiple platforms and softwares, user interface and > > **Cons**: We are using desktop versions and editing common files in cloud storage so there is the risk of overwriting files and losing work. ----- ### "Easy to use tool" — 5.0/5 > **Syamil** | *23 October 2024* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: its a software very easy to use and lightweight > > **Cons**: the software sometime it come out sudden error > > its very very good experience using the software ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/203692/ganttproject?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/203692/ganttproject) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
