Considered Both Products	GanttPRO Nile Livingston Founder Chose GanttPRO TeamGantt is much better. TeamGantt has a beautiful, modern design. TeamGantt has better user interface. GanttPRO isn't human-centric. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO I have used several different tools before, such as Wrike, Asana, Ayoa, Microsoft Project, and many of those were clunky or cumbersome and I didn't feel like they were meeting my needs. I find that GanttPRO is much easier to use and it is very self-explanatory. I had to watch … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO I have only used GanttPRO. Incentivized Helpful? CV Chardia Vigilant Chose GanttPRO Microsoft Project is also a good application, however, my company decided to go with GanttPRO because it is simpler and easier to learn. Incentivized Helpful? BJ Brooks Jealous Consultant Chose GanttPRO MS Project No comparison - MS Project is so bloated that modifying project plans is just too cumbersome. Clarizen Incentivized Helpful? Nicholas Naclerio Senior Business Developer Chose GanttPRO GanttPRO is just simple, easy and straightforward.

KG KATHIA GONZALEZ PROJECT MANAGER Chose GanttPRO I selected GanttPRO because is highly recommended in forums and this was true! Incentivized Helpful? Ralph Klein Guevarra PHP Developer Chose GanttPRO I think it doesn't have any competition right now as GanttPro is the best out there that I've personally used. If there are any, there is none that I know of. I also think that it will last long in this status and will surely last a long time holding the top 1 spot on my list. Incentivized Helpful? HQ HAOSHENG QIAN Undergraduate student Chose GanttPRO Previously I used this software but the Gantt chart function of this one is not easy to use and they do not supply the time management feature. At the same time, their supplying team is not quite good. In the end, when I want to cancel the monthly subscribe, I even can not find … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO We've really only had experience with Microsoft Office and making our Gantt charts in Excel. Excel was clunky and not well-suited for Gantt chart making. With GanttPRO, the whole process was more clear and streamlined. Incentivized Helpful? Cassie Tucker Luge Crew Chose GanttPRO I chose GanttPro over Team Gantt as I was not able to get the layout I desired on Team Gantt. Once I had a bit of practice on GanttPro, I also found it slightly more user-friendly than Team Gantt, which helps a lot when you are new to this! Incentivized Helpful? NB Nicole Berry Student Chose GanttPRO The software suggested by my class was not compatible with my MacBook, so I turned to GanttPro. The software is web-based so I am able to use it anywhere and on any device that I would like. Incentivized Helpful? CD Chris Drummond Student Chose GanttPRO GanttPRO is a far superior product, as it is easier to use, it produces a much slicker and professional output, and it enables drag and drop rearranging of tasks and links between tasks to speed things up.

It gives the chance to collaborate. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO I, while trying to find out a resource to help me with my "Production and Operations Management" assignment, found several resources for making Gantt charts.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO Worked within company standards and the web tool was quicker in use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO GanttPRO is easy to use and just works. If you need to do something quickly or do a small project then GanttPro is a great tool to use. If you are managing a large project then I would consider using Microsoft Project even though it is a more substantial investment overtime. Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Anonymous Chose GanttPRO The other tools had trouble automatically adjusting the schedule when an earlier task is changed or had very limited options in defining dependencies between tasks.

Whimsical TB Tehleel Bashir Product Manager Chose Whimsical Figma, Miro and Excalidraw+ Incentivized Helpful? Vincent Po MD & Head of Global Marketing Chose Whimsical Clickup's mind mapping tool was very basic and hard to use from my perspective. Whimsical was by far easier and did what I wanted for a SaaS/cloud-based mind mapping tool.

User Testimonials
	GanttPRO	Whimsical
Likelihood to Recommend	GanttPro is great for the type of project that I am currently working on as a graduate student. This is my capstone class and has a project management component. This is something that I need to complete the class. If I was going into a project management career, I would highly consider using something like MS Project to work on larger projects. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's extremely well-suited for rapid wire-framing of concepts, as product teams can quickly collaborate on any idea and create a visual blueprint of it. Whimsical could provide more intuitive feature prioritization templates. The current templates lack the necessary detail and could be further enhanced from a UI/UX standpoint. Incentivized TB Tehleel Bashir Product Manager Read full review
Pros	Ability to add sub-tasks and change the colour coding to help organise work that needs to be done The option to link different tasks together (task dependencies) which helps visualise what else needs to be done along side the current task Viewing the duration it may take and the progress chart to help quantify and visualise your progress Incentivized Clarissa Chong Student Read full review	Simple to use Tons of uses Can be customized with themeing Can organize all your boards pretty much however you want Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	GanttPRO doesn't allow to add a subtask to the subtask taking away customization and flexibility for different use cases GanttPRO extends the tasks to the date of the subtask, so if the task as a whole takes longer than the subtask then you need to state it as such GanttPRO doesn't let you assign the materials to the tasks Incentivized Kevin McLaughlin Student Assistant Read full review	It can be a little frustrating trying to line things up exactly right but that's probably more user error than anything Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Intuitive interface, clean, and nice design. As an online app, the data can be viewed on Windows PCs, Macs, and tablets. It saves the data very quickly (depending on the Internet speed) as if it is a locally installed application. Training is minimal, plus there is an extensive range of learning videos and topics in the GanttPRO learning center. Incentivized QT Qin Tian Ms Read full review	Whimsical is overall very easy to learn and remember. One issue with the usability occurs when you attempt to move connected boxes around the workspace. Frequently connections break or do not add easily, causing further disconnects. You can manually fix these issues, but it's a oprobem that seems would have an easy fix Incentivized Sarah Littlefield Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), UX design Read full review
Support Rating	The support for GanttPro is very good. I have no troubles reaching out for their customer support whenever I have questions, they respond almost instantly. I just hope that they will have live chat support for a real-time support experience on the user-end and can answer the questions in real-time. Ralph Klein Guevarra PHP Developer Read full review	I reached out to support, as I was interested in possibly investing in the organization, and they quickly and happily informed me they are a bootstrap organization and do not take on investors at this time. The swift response and information readily available for my consumption was extremely helpful and shows how solid the team behind it is. Incentivized Brianne Matthias Member Services Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	MS Project No comparison - MS Project is so bloated that modifying project plans is just too cumbersome. Clarizen Good product - expensive and somewhat top-heavy from the perspective of admin and training. Asana Work-group task management. Not a true project management tool. BJ Brooks Jealous Consultant Read full review	ClickUp's mind mapping tool was very basic and hard to use from my perspective. Whimsical was by far easier and did what I wanted for a SaaS/cloud-based mind mapping tool. Xmind is fine as a desktop app, but updating the app was a pain whereas, with Whimsical I don't have to worry about that. Also, I wanted to continue working on a mind map wherever I was, even if I didn't have my laptop or device with me and Whimsical allows me to do that. Incentivized Vincent Po MD & Head of Global Marketing Read full review
Return on Investment	For class purposes, I would say that my project is running smoothly and I am able to keep my team on task. I like that you can blow up the Gantt chart and show everyone exactly where you are at with each task. Incentivized NB Nicole Berry Student Read full review	We've been using free version, so it's a no brainer. As it helps us focus on the information organization process, we don't lose time redoing work due to the lack of planning before doing design or code. We can collaborate on the same project, so it's easier to get things done as we're working from home as well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
