User Testimonials
	Ganttic	Microsoft Project
Likelihood to Recommend	Whenever you need a simple tool for tracking projects or work shedules. For instance, you might want to manage a team and assign jobs to each of the members, planning the start and end time, and be able to modify this schedule when some modifications are required, assigning the job to a different member or changing the start and end dates Incentivized GP Giuliano Peressini CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review	Microsoft Project is the perfect platform for medium and large companies. I do not recommend this software for small businesses, because all its functions in the work plans are high cost and this would cause the small business to not perform well in the use of MS Project in the long term. It is very easy to use software, it allows adding, modifying and eliminating all kinds of assignments and tasks for all employees, it allows monitoring the progress of all projects in real time and it also shows the gaps in the planned project. It has a very good performance, it does not take up many computer resources and all the information is stored in sync with the Office 365 service. It occasionally has crashing problems, but this is something that does not affect users as much. Incentivized Sasha Brito Marketing Director Read full review
Pros	Easy modifications of the plans Ease of adding information to the task Nice cathegorization Incentivized GP Giuliano Peressini CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review	It is part of Office365 subscription. The look and feel is similar to other tools like excel. Helps in creating project plans, Gantt charts, work break down structures etc. Helps in resource allocation and tracking the projects. There is an option to use it to capture timesheets too. Helps project managers in producing weekly status reports and integrates well with other collaboration tools like Skype, sharepoint etc. Incentivized Shiva Krishna Oracle Cloud Procure to Pay Consultant Read full review
Cons	Better graphic interface Activities assigned to multiple users Some bugs while moving a task from one member to another Incentivized GP Giuliano Peressini CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Read full review	Remote work can be challenging - as Project must be downloaded to a specific computer. Upgrading to the top of the line version can feel like a requirement. There is a lot of functionality that is not available unless in the most expensive pay-tiers. Microsoft Project can be extremely expensive on a per user basis. Other tools can be much more cost-effective - especially for more basic project management needs. Incentivized Joshua Melder Process Optimization Analyst Read full review

Alternatives Considered	It is a much easier tool to use for simple schedule managements.
