Director Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Planning events made easy" March 31, 2022 5.0 Pros It is free. While there are some paid features we might consider in the future, the core product does what we need it to do. As the head of the event, I need to keep an eye on all the moving parts and know who is doing what and what still needs to get done. Cons With a name open, I'd have hoped that it would be one of those where you pay for support or implementation. However, some features are locked behind a monthly/yearly fee. If it was a one-time fee for non-profits, I'd consider it. Switched from [GitHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/129067/GitHub/) It wasn't designed for what we were using it for.

Developer Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Waste of time" May 22, 2022 1.0 Waste of time. Pros Docker image, easy to setup, open, free, simple. Cons Not so open. Need to purchase the enterprise edition to use even the basic productivity features like boards. Waste of time Review Source Response from OpenProject July 10, 2022 Hi Brendan, It's a pity that you rate OpenProject so poorly. Thus, it's not the product that you don't like but the fact that it costs money? We do have a set of premium features that are only included in the paid Enterprise version. The reason is that the developers also need to pay their bills. We gave basic boards now to the Community version. Cheers Birthe AM Abraham M.
