"Very good initiative for replacing Microsoft Office"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

It is open source and in continuous development at the same time, with regular updates. Also, it is free and a very good alternative of Microsoft Office.

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

Even it is open source and free, it still has a significant number of bugs and it is still not so complex as Microsoft Office or Apple iSuite. It still lacks in lots of features and functionality.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used it a couple of times for testing and writing some reports and essays for my university courses on my DICE machines in the laboratories.

"Efficient and easy to understand, but lack of features"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

Free and open source. Rapidity of creation. Diagrams are automatically created You can use all the main management diagrams needed like PERT, management of tasks and resources. It allows you to rapidly see what key points you'll have to clear during the project.

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

Lack of flexibility and strange behavior of the interface. Not always well scaled for the Gant diagrams for example. Lack of personnalisation (Color of the typography / highligh) which can make it difficult to organize things visualy when you have a lot of tasks going on in your project. Not very easy to share with co-workers. The menu and interface is quite old though, not very attractive which affects its user-friendliness.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time management and resource management during project. Keep track of the progress in time and manage costs. Anticipating problems of organisation.

"Cumbersome free alternative to MS Project"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

It fulfills my customer's expectations when it comes to providing Gantt chart timelines for my various programs.

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

The software is cumbersome and aesthetically is a step behind MS Projects 'clean, crisp' look.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing program timelines is difficult; certain activities have deadlines, and the proceeding activities must be sequenced and accounted for to prevent procrastination and program crunch.

"Really great Product"
What do you like best about ProjectLibre?

I really like all the functionalities offered. The different applications are very similar to Microsoft, and that makes it an easy transition. Also, very cost effective!

What do you dislike about ProjectLibre?

The only thing "negative" is that, if you know Microsoft products really well, it can be difficult to located similar options on ProjectLibre. It's probably still there, just in a different spot, and/or with a different name.

What problems is ProjectLibre solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am the owner of my business, and the soleemployee. The savings, especially compared to buying something like Microsoft office, is significant.

The user interface lacks the visual flair of its competitors but this is a minor issue considering the ease of use/ available features.
