ProjectLibre: The alternative to Microsoft Project


If you are one of those people who need to manage their projects, whether you are an engineer or an ordinary user, and you use for it Microsoft ProjectWell, I'm giving you good news: We already have a free alternative called ProjectLibre and it is not only free, but also has the following characteristics:

  • Microsoft Project 2010 support
  • New Ribbon UI
  • Possibility of Printing
  • Important bug fixes and more

According to its creators, the initial idea was to launch an alternative to Microsoft ProjectServer call ProjectLibre Project Server, but they realized that first they had to offer a tool for the desktop and then, they will offer the version for servers.

In particular, I have never used this type of tool, but I suppose that users who have done so will find an excellent substitute. Hopefully someone here will share their impressions on this matter.

On the download site you can find binaries for Windows, Linux y Mac OS X.

    One of the great mistakes I made, an alternative to MS Project.

    Damn it beats me that it is an application of weight, testing.

    And I see that the interface resembles microsft office 2007 and 2010, will it cost the LibreOffice so much a Similar Interface ?.

    It would be great if these developers decided to make their Office suite I really think it would become the standard for Linux.

      I think it would not be something very viable since now with the Clouds, many of these applications are being taken to the cloud. For example the google docs, now drive, you have word processors, spreadsheets and presentations to do. Honestly, I don't use libreWriter anymore because I use the Document that google gives you in your Google Drive. But it would be very good if there was a fully functional suite for users of GNU / Linux and others.

    I see that the file is not very heavy, the microsoft project weighs at least 200 to 500 mb. So far we are doing well.

    An alternative was needed to generate this type of diagram, with LO we already had one for Visio. I will test it immediately.

    PLANNER already existed (at least in fedora and debian repositories) ...

    Well, my mistake, I'm sorry, I didn't know Planner or Caligra Plan, anyway, the variety also has its advantages.

    I have been using OpenProj with the last project I have managed. One functionality that is missing is that they do not allow PDF printing, they also refer you to the Projects on Demand version (http://openproj.org/pod), which appears to not exist as the link forwards to http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/. Obviously with the license that has been published it can be modified, but the truth is that that is not what we are evaluating.

    On the other hand, I recommend the comments on the project http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/, especially the negatives that are more constructive.

    What is the license? A few days ago I was looking at the website, but I did not find anything.

      On the project page I have not found it either. You have to go to the page in sourceforge and there it does appear: Common Public Attribution License 1.0 (CPAL), in wikipedia it says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Public_Attribution_License

      Health,

      Joan.

    Good thing this, before I used openProject but it did not convince me much. I'm going to test this tool a bit.

    Thank you. I already downloaded it and I'm going to try it. I have already used the openproject and it is more compatible with the xml of the guidows project

    very unstable bass with large projects is not reliable, I do not recommend it lacks hair for bun to be a version at least competitive to MS PROJECT

    but it doesn't come like installing it or a link to do it, I don't see much use for repeating the same as the others
