Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: GanttProject is generally praised for being open-source, free, and user-friendly, making it a solid alternative to costly project management software. Users appreciate its cross-platform capabilities and the ability to open MS Project files. However, it lacks advanced features, such as resource leveling and hourly task durations. Some users criticize its outdated interface and potential misinformation regarding pricing. Despite minor flaws, the software remains a favored option for personal and small business projects.

GanttProject is free for any purposes, including commercial use. No license fees, so why it has been registered as Commercial licence?! Please accept my change about the pricing

Totally useless utility.

  • There is no possibility to make the duration in hours.
  • The timeline is always on top.
  • Strange texture on the left side that cannot be removed.
  • Interface graphics from 2007, no animation or anything like that.
  • Nazi flag at startup and in the main program menu. This utility should be consigned to oblivion.

Good:

  • Free and open source (Please donate something to the devs, even a small amount)
  • Desktop cross-platform
  • GANNT Chart support
  • Good for personal projects or as a starting options to new teams
  • Best of all free GANTT creation apps
  • Can open MS Project files Bad:
  • UI Dated
  • Manual and Example given are pretty much required to get started
  • Lacks some advanced features of paid apps (but hey its FOSS)

GanttProject is in my opinion the best option I've seen to replace Microsoft Project. I have used it at work and home and find it to be intuitive and a joy to use. Of course there is still room for improvement but there has been steady progress through the years, and the team behind it are to be commended.

If you have a small business or like to make Gantt charts at home or work, this is a great tool. The fact that the software is allowed to be used for free even in commercial settings is a huge plus.

There is nothing wrong with the requests for small donations, this is no different than say LibreOffice asking for money. They have a very decent, stable and usable alternative to the costly MS Project, so give them a donation if possible.

I hope to see more progress coming in the future. Excellent free software. One of my favorites.

5$ for downloading it is nothing but it is not optional. FREE?
