That means that resources can be employees, meeting rooms, production lines, vehicles, robots etc.

As already mentioned, ProjectLibre doesn't hold up well against a professional project management tool.
It is quite suited for simple projects and if you don't need to advanced features of other tools and if you don't need simple scripting extensibility. My main driver on using …
Chose ProjectLibre
Both of those other options are paid options and do not mimic MS Project. While those tools are great in their own right, ProjectLibre is truly unique in that it basically emulates MS Project and does it really well for free.
Chose ProjectLibre
1) Ability to access project plans created using MS Projects - MS Projects license is expensive and we cannot have all users assigned one. This is where ProjectLibre comes in. We can get the team to access project plans rather than sharing them as PDFs

2) User interface is …

ProjectLibre is open-sourced, so constantly on the verge of getting better. I think this one is more suited against other workflow programs because it is built for function and (like referenced in another section) not meant to be something you can distract your boss with to …

User Testimonials

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

ProjectLibre is very similar to Microsoft Project, but it is free. It has a user-friendly interface that is simple to understand and use. Best of all is its compatibility to import and export data to Project and PDF without any restriction. ProjectLibre is very important to execute medium and large scale projects that we develop. There is a possibility to create many diagrams, with Gantt and PERT being the most used by me. I feel like you don't lose anything to any paid competitor software

  • Customer service is not there - I understand that the product is open source but some kind of forum with FAQs, etc. can come in handy
  • App crashes at time for no reason. There have been instances where you try to create a new task and all the diagrams and other items get messed up

There are a lot of discussions online about it, and a customer addition based manual. While that can lead to some confusion, I am not the kind of person who likes talking on the phone. So it is easier to go online with ProjectLibre!

It is a much easier tool to use for simple schedule managements. It is also much cheaper, considering that we are not aiming for a complete project management, but rather to schedule some jobsite interventions assigning them to one of the users and adding some relevant information to them such as customer name or equipment serial number.

ProjectLibre offer many of the same functionalities as MS Project , but at no cost! While the user interface might not be as aesthetically pleasing or intuitive as MS Project, ProjectLibre still gets the job done while enabling substantial cost savings. Both products are excellent, but open source software that performs as well as ProjectLibre is hard to beat!
