Cloud-based Google-integrated project management tool
4.3/5 (19 reviews)Pros
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
Cons
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
Learned more about the alternatives in project management software.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Accessibility. Flexibility. Freedom to use it and skip bureaucracy at state university.
I know that there is always a good program that I can relay to.
No installation needed. I can open it at any time and any device.
Pros
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.
Cons
It can be sometimes bit slow to open all the projects in same classroom in Macedonia. We liked the free version.
Free tool that integrates fully with Google Drive, which makes sharing easy.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Helps me teach students how to plan and schedule projects.
Pros
- Good way to give students experience using Gantt charts for planning
- Easy to learn to use
- Integration with Google Drive
- Adequate functionality for small to mid-sized project
Cons
- Assigning multiple resources to tasks is awkward when effort-driven processing is enabled
- Needs better scaling options for chart when creating reports
The ease of use has made it a more accessible project management tool. Because staff can learn to use the tool so easily they have n=been more acceptable to using it than MSP.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
If you're not familiar with gantt charts, it can be difficult to pick up, but this is not a shortcoming of the product.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Pros
Simpla nad free software for Gant charts. It also gives the ability to locate resources to tasks.
Cons
The software functionality is limited compared to Microsoft Project. However this tool is free and online.
Pros
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.
Cons
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...
A web tool that helps to improve my project management classes.
Students loves the tool.
Pros
I teach project management classes, and It helps to may students to make knowledge tangible and apply what they learn in a real project.
The response of the forum is quickly and great
Cons
The tool now has a cost.
It could improve some functionalities like cost management, reports, and others, but I am conscious that the are always working in things that people ask to improve.
Pros
- 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!
Cons
Printing your file can be a little difficult if your plan has a detailed Gantt chart. But there are ways it can be done!
Google Apps and Drive support
Project management intro for students
Allows them to break down tasks in a useful and fiunctional manner
Pros
It is linked to Google drive where my student can easily access their charts and manage their projects
Cons
None at the moment but a full scale trial will be done in the second half of this year with all my classes trialling this for their projects
Pros
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
Cons
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.
It a sort of simpler version of MS Project. It allows the creation of Gantt diagrams and monitoring the progress of the project and the resource usage. It is fully compatible with MS Project and allows online collaboration of team members. Very easy to use and appropriate for simple to medium complexity projects.
Pros
This was a useful site for generating Gantt charts for project management and scheduling. It is very intuitive and easy to use for students who've never made a Gantt chart before.
Cons
The ability to integrate into more online project management websites. Having two different websites for project information is not very efficient if you're using another tool as well.
Pros
*easily.turn it in and start to use, Totally friendly
Cons
Reload time , some times is hard Shark the project
Pros
It is a software that allows you to be aware of everything that happens in a project in a super organized and deconstructed way
Cons
Being a project management software, I think it is important to synchronize with Gmail and, sometimes, this functionality fails
Pros
It's very easy to learn how to use it, and it's very helpful for managing small projects and making follow up
Cons
It's connected to Google Drive for sharing, but I wasn't able to share a project with any of my coworkers
