Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very User Friendly!" August 28, 2019 5.0 This product has helped to organize and streamline the user acceptance testing process! Pros Open Project is very easy to navigate, with little-to-no training needed prior. It is easy to help organize project teams and help triage/direct issues found! Cons It would help if the amount/types of statuses for each defect were customizable at the project-level. Each project is organized differently, so this would be a huge win! Review Source Response from OpenProject September 4, 2019 Thank you very much for your great feedback. At a workaround to have different status on a project level, you can create different types with corresponding status and activate those in different projects according to the projects' needs. We will evaluate the other option as well. Please let us know if you have any more comments or feature requests. DT Daniel T.

Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Free Project Management Software" April 10, 2019 4.0 Pros Very easy to get up and running, and the interfaces are very intuitive. Nice way to get a snapshot of current project state. Multiple user accounts allows for associating tasks with users (who get notified via email when updates are pushed) Cons A 'server' (always on machine, running a web server and database) is required... would be nice if future iterations were remote browser based.

Technology Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Full featured reasonably priced Project Management & Wiki platform" March 31, 2017 5.0 When we were looking for a Project Management and Wiki platform, there were a ton of good choices. However our organization has just over 10 people and so none of the free trials would work for us. Also, not very many platforms support Project Management and Wiki functionality, so for most platforms, we'd need a two-headed solution which would cost just under $$$/month. Instead, we found OpenProject, which is perfect. It doesn't look quite as slick as some of the other offerings, but after testing we found it to be just as functional and still pretty easy to use. Best of all, we can keep our organization's Wiki documentation and project tracking in one place. We're using Open Project's could hosting, which costs less... a much better price than anything else on the market that we were able to find. If you already have your own server and don't mind applying a few platform upgrades per year, then you can even get it for free since it's an opensource platform. Pros Good user interface, great feature set, better prices. Cons User interface doesn't look as slick as Asana's.

KP Kim P. none Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Open it is not" August 28, 2019 3.0 A 'free trial' failed to provide (a) sufficient time to understand the product (b) sufficient guidance on the product before demanding I commit to signing up Pros This product looked to be a useful alternative to MS Project Cons Inadequate help. Switched from [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) Looking for better priced product Review Source Response from OpenProject August 29, 2019 Dear Kim, thank you for your review. Indeed, the help is quite weak at this point. We are currently developing a new help center with documentation and videos directly embedded in the system. Also, we offer to prolong the trial for another 10 days to give users a change to test the system thoroughly before signing up. We also offer to give a personal demo. We are happy to prolong your trial if needed. Kind regards Birthe (OpenProject) TN Thameera N.

Configuring is little bit confusing but you get great support from community. I use for my own project management. All users are really happy to use the software. Pros OpenProject is open source and free to use. Great tool if you are intermediate for project management. Web based and can use on modern browsers. Cons Need more customization on functionalities. For example it's better to have a customizable landing page. Switched from [RingEX](https://www.capterra.com/p/242188/RingCentral-MVP/) Needed the open source web base solution. Review Source Response from OpenProject September 4, 2019 Thank you very much for your great feedback. Please let us know if you have any more comments or feature requests. RD Rene D. Owner / Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Though only working with this tool for a month, it has helped me a lot with project-planning." November 16, 2017 5.0 Pros The interface is really good, inline editing makes the creation and editing of tasks and other data really fast. The roles of different kinds of users are easily customizable. Most features I need for project-management are available in OpenProject. I really like the fact I can host OpenProject on my own server, so I have my data in my own hands. Cons OpenProject misses a few features that I think should be available. For instance, it is now possible to export Cost Reports (for instance, Time Sheet logs). This is something I need a lot, to inform customers of the progress of a project. They seem to be working on this feature though. I would like to link the tasks I planned to an external calendar. Maybe a CalDav interface would be a possibility.

Pros You solve communication and collaboration problems with the use of this platform.
