It has all the features that MS Project has. > > Overall experience has been satisfying with using ProjectLibre replacing the licensed version of MS Project that costs dollars. ----- ### "ProjectLibre A Powerful Free Alternative to Microsoft Project" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *June 29, 2021* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been a Microsoft Project User for year, but got tired of the continuous increase in price. We are a Microsoft 365 shop and originally Project was part of the Suite, so we used it. Then it became a separate charge. Not too much, but additional. Then the price continued to go up. So we looked for an alternative and ProjectLibre is a great fit. It is basically free MS Project. > > **Cons**: Some weird behavior when importing MPP files. Most of the time it works fine, but occasionally it screws up the time baseline. > > Excellent. If you know MS Project, you can use ProjectLibre immediately and save a lot of money. ----- ### "Excellent experience using this tool in the management of free software development projects" — 3.0/5 > **Nelevis** | *June 24, 2018* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can be open on Linux, Mac OS or Windows. Also, it has useful Gantt Chart and it is compatible with Microsoft Project. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I have had problems clicking on save because the system has closed without giving me any message about the error. > > It is a good free alternative for project management. ----- ### "Good free Project Management Software" — 5.0/5 > **Frank** | *September 20, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Gantt chart feature in scheduling work is good. > > **Cons**: The printing of chart into pdf needs more work to fit on A4 ----- ### "Very useful application for project management" — 5.0/5 > **nirmal** | *February 6, 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its very simple and easy to use, more easy than microsoft project, its very intuitive . Has a number of advanced features which are very useful for project management. > > **Cons**: its cloud support and collaboration features need some improvement. the GUI could be done more user friendly which will make it very appealing. > > I use it for managing construction projects, found the software very useful and made my task very easy to achieve. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/125223/projectlibre?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/125223/projectlibre) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
