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. Review Source Response from OpenProject December 16, 2022 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on OpenProject. We appreciate your feedback and work on improving OpenProject every day. OpenProject wants to make a real difference. One of the ways we do it is by providing special rates for NGOs and educational institutions. Please get in touch with our sales team to discuss if your organization is eligible for a special fee (https://www.openproject.org/contact/ ). YR Yaman R. Former Co-founder & CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "5 years of OpenProject usage" April 16, 2023 4.0 In my team I had to change our workflow several times, I was so relieved that OpenProject was able to adapt perfectly. Pros \- Self hosted - Very fast, and wasn’t affected by projects or users number getting larger. - Super configurable, literally everything is customisable. Cons \- No mobile app- No real RTL support, I was forced to design a Chrome extension for my team to modify Open Project’s UI to fully support RTL on browsers. - Sometimes I had to try several minor versions (0.x.x or 0.x) in order to find the most stable one. The latest version is not always the most stable one unfortunately. Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing OpenProject Mainly data sovereignty, customisations, and the Restful API. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) Trello was too basic. Google Sheets was effective for small projects and small team but not a real tool.Jira was hard to use, didn’t have much customisations, and blocked by Atlassian (my team had to use VPN to access it). Review Source Response from OpenProject April 24, 2023 Thank you for your feedback, Yaman. We value your opinions and glad that even in the absence of a mobile app OpenProject was nonetheless a good fit for your changing needs. BW Brendan W. 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 VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Furniture Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Open project - customise it all." October 15, 2020 4.0 Open project has the flexibility for you to customise your projects to work just how you need them to work. If you take the time to set it up, it will fulfill your needs. Pros \- Customisable - Project, subprojects, sub sub projects - Tasks, subtasks, - many customisable work package types - Cost that feels right - Not loaded with extra features that you are paying for buy never use. Cons \- needs basic refinement - can be buggy - steep learning curve Alternatives considered [Wrike](https://www.capterra.com/p/76113/Wrike/) Reason for choosing OpenProject Cost was more reasonable, customisation was better. Switched from [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Too simplistic Review Source Response from OpenProject December 16, 2022 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on OpenProject.

Software Development Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better than trello" January 9, 2021 4.0 Just for task management purposes it's good, but if you want other functionalities there are other better options. Pros Following are its top features: - Gantt chart - Task dependency creation - Easy task assignment - Costing Cons \- Collaboration could be improved like trello in big teams it can cause problems - No kanban view - Task searching, it's detail and it's activity is better in trello. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Because trello didn't have option to assign a task to any user.

Business Development Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Open source extend administration tool with parcels of control for trading ventures " June 22, 2023 4.0 Our company employments OpenProject for the most part for the reason of making Gantt charts and extending plans, and it may be a phenomenal device for doing so. The commenting component is valuable when there are as well numerous members. I've continuously established for OpenProject since of its high-level venture administration and following capabilities and its straightforwardness when plunging down to the granular level. It has made a difference in me keeping my ventures well sorted out, the workflow is parcel quicker and more compelling, and the back that has been given has been adequate.  Pros It isn't about as complicated to utilize as other planning applications. Movement tracker, as well numerous things happen to an extent, it is reasonably challenging to keep track of work bundles from the mail. This works well for me since I am inclined toward planning everything. Also, working with people and groups is basic. Moreover greatly user-friendly is the UI. empowers the task of assets to exercises and errands and creates the project's Gantt chart. My clients may rapidly learn approximately the highlights that my group is working on all through each extended stage by setting up a particular menu thing for this channel and setting a custom channel to prohibit highlights that are being created in different stages.  Cons trouble gathering and limiting child work bundles beneath a parent. For ventures of a better-than-average scale, this comes about in a part of the clutter. Furthermore, I regularly have server blunders when uploading reports. It isn't attainable to duplicate an assignment from one subproject to another. In the event that you need to have two forms of the venture, this speaks to a critical overhead. For the most part, talking, I have issues printing from the program. It does not work to print to PDF.  Review Source Response from OpenProject July 3, 2023 Thank you for feedback, Mandeep.
