Gantter

Avantages

This software used to be fully free. There are a lot of integrations and the UI looks clean and easy to get going. The webpage sharing feature is great as is the other export methods.

Inconvénients

Now that this costs money, I am less inclined to use it. Also, sometimes the dependencies and moving things around takes a while to get used to, but that is Gantters in general.

Avantages

For a pretty inexpensive software, there are many features that can enable you to develop a thoughtful and successful schedule. I like that you can display task names on the gantt chart view. Additionally, the software operates quickly, like a google sheet, other softwares take a few seconds to comprehend inputs which can slow down productivity.

Inconvénients

The customer support needs some work, there is no chat feature and when you submit a request ticket, the support does not directly answer your question, to my knowledge there is no way to call for support. They refer you to watch user guide videos that are no specific to your question.

Avantages

using it online together with others was good in project management tasks

Inconvénients

I have been using gaunter in 2021 and in the end of the year I had no use of it anymore because of business reasons. In 2022 I stopped and cancelled subscription. But few days ago, so in 2023 a year after, they have charged my credit card again. And even when I login I still see there is no subscription.

Avantages

It is platform independent and all in the cloud. It is very collaborative and allows quick understanding of managing a project.

Inconvénients

Occasionally people have issues installing the first time into their google accounts.

Pourquoi passer à Gantter

Avantages

I was first exposed to this software in a Project Management course I took in college years ago. I loved how Gantter looks and feels just like Google, which made it so easy for me to learn how to use and store all of my files. It also imports Microsoft Project files which is a HUGE benefit for me. I became so well acquainted with the software that I decided to purchase my own subscription of Gantter when I began my career. Not to mention its low cost for a month is very affordable in comparison to similar software I looked into. Today, as a supervisor in the Hospitality Industry I use Gantter for all of my project management needs. I have introduced the software to co-workers who later adopted Gantter as well

Inconvénients

I wish that there was a mobile edition available at this time, but I have been told that this will be released later in the year. That would be really cool if that's the case

Avantages

Cloud based, removes the need to manage software on different platforms and OS's. Integration with MS Project, which helps with student efficiency. As the instructor, I am able to monitor the class progress without interfering with their work. Integration of Risk Management is huge, as it is always challenging to convey the importance of proper risk awareness in an academic setting. Integration with Google is also helpful as it is common that students are already set up to collaborate with their tools.

Inconvénients

There are always challenges when using a web based tool, but Gantter does an admirable job covering the shortcomings of browser based software.

Avantages

Free tool that integrates fully with Google Drive, which makes sharing easy. Easy to learn and use - much easier than MSP and other project tools.

Inconvénients

Printing is poor - to print large projects I have to export to MSP and then print. There is no auto resource levelling which is a weakness if you are managing multiple projects that share the same resources.

Avantages

This free online tool is invaluable. I especially like how it integrates with Goggle Docs for multi-user functionality.

The you-tube tutorials are outstanding and worth checking out.

Inconvénients

Sometimes, when I return to update, my settings from the last time I entered data are not the same. This MAY be an issue with Google Docs integration.

Avantages

We used this tool for a little time at the office. It was very easy to use. I remember we found all the features we where looking for, specially for creating Gantt charts. And of course, it integrates with Google Drive, so we can share projects and files with everyone in the company.

Inconvénients

We had several issues printing Gantt charts (a resource we use A LOT!), plus the fact that there was no mobile app forced us to keep looking for other solutions...

Avantages

- The 'Suggest & Assist' feature has helps me create detailed project plans by prompting tasks, risks and resources as I'm typing my task! It gives me the confidence that I haven't overlooked something.
- With thousands of community-contributed templates to choose from, I haven't had to start from scratch with any of my project plans! It's saved me so much time.
- The Community Forum is full of tips & tricks, and help from peers around the world! I haven't needed to submit a ticket yet, since I always find my answers in the forum.
- Everyone on our team uses Google Apps, which made Gantter very familiar and easy to use for us!

Inconvénients

Printing your file can be a little difficult if your plan has a detailed Gantt chart. But there are ways it can be done!

Avantages

Has all the needed features in an easy-to-understand configuration. Gantt chart, resource tracking, task lists all straightforward and as you'd expect coming from any kind of traditional project management software.

Inconvénients

Major user interface and usability issues, poor support. I struggled with heaps of unnecessary mouse clicks required to perform some operations (or at least unintuitive alternatives that I never discovered). Most grating was that scrolling was completely messed up (on my Mac OSX 10.10.5 with either Chrome or Safari). Scrolling in the main display jittered up and down at random, and trying to scroll back and forth on the Gantt timeline also caused vertical scrolling in the tasks---completely unusable. Trying to find support for these issues also led down infinite rabbit holes of trying to submit a ticket and being told I have no tickets.

Avantages

Easy to access in the classroom. The students can develop a project in the classroom and later they can work on the projects from home. This is needed a lot since other programs are not flexible.

Inconvénients

It can be sometimes bit slow to open all the projects in same classroom in Macedonia. We liked the free version.

Avantages

The two best things about Gantter is that it imports MS Project files correctly and that it looks/feels like a native Google App

Inconvénients

The pricing is excessively high compared to its competitors. It lacks a native app for desktop and mobile.

Avantages

The program itself is not bad but there is no way to communicate with this company.

Inconvénients

This company is essentially like working with AI, there is no way to discuss any issues you might have.

Avantages

An excellent tool that is simplistic to use and very well received by students as simplifies a complex subject and brings it to life in a way the students can better relate to

Inconvénients

Nothing in particular. Lack of knowledge of intricacies of the product presents some challenges but there is support and students are very intuitive and overcome obstacles

Avantages

The software is accessible anytime, any place. My past students have stated how easy it is to use and they like it because they use Google Chrome already and like that it is just a Google Add-On.

I like it also for it's ease of use and taught as a teaching tool.

Inconvénients

That you only get a limited free subscription. Last year my Y12 students used it and requested an extension but it was not given, so had to re-do their SAT using another project management tool which took time out of their already limited timeframe.

Avantages

Price, feature set, and the user interface

Inconvénients

The software is not working; the software is deleting tasks as I enter them. Doesn't matter where I try to enter tasks. The tasks are deleted before I can hit return.

Avantages

This is Web based Software. It is support Windows and Mac also. We can use this software in more than 15 languages. This is best software for Small business as well as big company.

Inconvénients

It can be sometimes bit slow to open all the projects in same time. Printing is poor - to print large projects I have to export to MSP and then print.

Avantages

Gantter is a tool for project management, although it allows to have several projects the easy of use of the solution is really a pain. Seems to be an old fashioned tools

Inconvénients

User interface is not nice, its sluggy, and does not respond as you expect. Not recommended.

Avantages

I train people in project management at the KZN Business Training Centre in South Africa. I use Gantter in the training for people to capture their projects. I encourage them to continue to use the paid version in their organisations, which probably leads to more uptake of the product.

Gantter is easy for learners to grasp in the limited duration of the course, and they love it! It is great for me as the facilitator as they experience great learning and are able to get hands on, and see meaningful results

Inconvénients

Nothing I don't like - it serves our purposes perfectly

Avantages

1) Work Breakdown process is easy and mimics other popular tools.
2) Task Types - handles fixed duration, units or work.
3) Resources - Easy to assign and customize the calendars of resources.
4) Constrains - Effectively handles constraints.
5) Critical Path - Highlights critical path.
6) Gantt Chart - Easily cusomizable.
7) Easy to learn and teach others
8) Price - This is the best part, it's too cheap to turn down!

Inconvénients

Reporting is not extensive.
Can't filter tasks.

Avantages

What I liked about the software is that allows my team to easy, track time and budget throughout the whole project

Inconvénients

What I like the least about this software is that it was a little hard to learn. The learning curve for me was a little longer than I thought it would be.

Avantages

This software has capabilities that make it an industry standard - it is an opportunity to built marketable skills in our students before they leave school. It is also instrumental in managing their time.

Inconvénients

The process of adding students to a subscription is cumbersome as only one student can be added at a time. I would like the facility to upload a CSV file of emails directly from our welfare system.

Avantages

This it's very easy to customize and order the team target

Inconvénients

not is compatible with other software about organizations

Avantages

The fact of not having to download the application to be able to make my gantt diagrams and my plans, as well as the inclusion of google contacts for sending information and assigning activities.

The inclusion of the gantter as a complement to google drive where I can save all the documentation and planning so that it can be shared and modified by all the users involved with my planning.

Compatibility with programs such as Microsoft project and the ability to export to various formats such as Xml, PDF and JPG

Inconvénients

Sometimes it is a bit annoying the way in which the same program handles the times of the tasks, having many options more than versatile makes it a little difficult to use the application and how it automatically makes changing dates almost impossible. perform simple planning.
