TeamGantt Reviews

Pros

In my company , we often have several things going on at once. When there were fewer projects and they were simpler, I was able to retain track of them with an agenda and written task lists. TeamGantt not only helps me see the big picture of all my projects at once, but it also lets me quickly schedule activities for each one so that I never have to deal with a sudden influx of work. My project management has improved as a result.Depending on whether or not my team and I are ahead or behind schedule, I can rearrange our project's priorities. Having a dependency on anything else makes this a breeze. If you change one thing, all the other things that depend on it will shift accordingly. Regular updates sent directly to my inbox keep me apprised of my work and alert me to impending deadlines.

Cons

It's not perfect, but I've managed to pull off several major projects using it. Even though my jobs aren't directly dependant on one other, I'd still like for them to switch simultaneously if their dependencies do. I know this is a difficult problem to solve, but it would be useful if we could at least categorize these.

Pros

Very easy to use, in just a few minutes using drag&drop you can create your first gantt chart and add all the needed tasks with their priorities and deadlines.

Cons

The software can become quite costly if you need to upgrade to get all the features.

Pros

TeamGantt offers a clean view of the gantt chart and visually is nice to see who is working on what tasks in line with the bar. But really what lead me to purchasing this software, is its sharing capabilities. TeamGantt allows me to share my charts with other users without the need for a login. This combined with the ability to embed it in webpages has been critical for radiating timelines to clients.
A common feature in these types of products I generally don't like is the "sync to calendar" feature. However, you can tell TeamGantt spent some time on this feature, and it works surprisingly well.

Cons

Where TeamGantt fall short is in their overall product polish. The user experience and underlaying design is flat out annoying. Something as simple as undoing a date change can take minutes to figure out and may not even be possible if the site didn't record it in its history. Resizing the charts is a pain and you can't even resize the tasks column. The way projects are listed in the left panel is also very difficult to read and navigate. These things can all be summarized in just the UX design. The feature set is robust and I don't think its lacking anything their customers really are asking for, at this point it just needs to be giving some TLC.

Pros

In particular, I like the ability to quickly assess which projects are behind schedule, as this information forms the basis of my Monday team meetings.

Cons

At first, the magnitude of the situation seems excessive. One feature we'd want to have is the option to toggle on and off the display of all projects at once on a gantt chart.

Pros

The features that I used most and liked the most with TeamGantt were the task scheduling. It works well and is reliable.

Cons

The thing that I liked least about TeamGantt was that there is no desktop app for the Apple computers. I did download it but because it was made for iPad and iPhone it was small and had some issues. If they made a desktop for Apple I would switch back.

Pros

My brain processes projects like a Gantt chart, so that was a huge reason for using this. It really helps to visually map multiple projects over longer periods of time, and easily demonstrates capacity for the individual and org. We switched to a new product as the team evolved, but TeamGantt added some nice new features that perhaps would have swayed us back (kanban was a nice addition). I really liked how visual this tool was, but it was also easy to switch to different views. Felt like a growing company that was only going to get better.

Cons

Support wasn't ideal, but wasn't bad either. They're reasonably speedy responding to chat. We never utilized any on-boarding services they offered, probably should have. Our team changed and grew and ultimately moved on to another service, but this was still a really great tool. I'm only writing this since we ran into so many other lemons looking for a different system, and came really close to coming right back. One thing (which might have improved); it would have been nicer for more customized timeline exports. Often our projects were so large that the exports weren't effective to print (which clients preferred). Maybe there was a third step we should have implemented too (you can also export to excel)

Asana has a major issue with logins; they're tied to an email but are particular about domain. We're a small team in a larger school and larger university, but we would have to contract for the whole University, or else create a second email system for Asana (ex. gmail for all Asana needs). Asana really seemed interested in the bigger companies, which might work for them, but makes them pretty useless for companies like ours, comprised of many smaller teams.

We actually moved to Workzone, which is also a really good system. Wanted to send a shoutout to both of these companies, Workzone and Teamgantt, they're both really great options! In a sea of systems that often promise more than they can deliver, these two are very functional, useful tools at a reasonable price!

Pros

My team is relatively small, so we work on multiple projects at any given time. It has been difficult to find a project management system within our budget that allows for users to see timelines and task lists for multiple projects together on either a gantt chart or task list. This allows for both! And it also allows us to assign multiple people to any task, which is beneficial for a nimble company like ours. The software allows for all other things that comparable gantt-focused PM software offers (dependencies, document uploads, etc.) but those two features made us decide to switch to TeamGantt. In addition to the features, we really like the layout and easy user navigation. It took no time at all for us to learn. So far, we have been extremely happy with the software.

Cons

The cost of the software is a bit high, but it is comparable with things like Monday or Smartsheet. We were using Avaza before, which had many of the features of TeamGantt, but was less user friendly and visually appealing. For three times the cost of Avaza, we get what we want with project management, but we don't get time-tracking (an additional cost) or accounting basics (invoicing, etc.) That is the only downside, that we'll have to use additional software for those things. Many other orgs might already be using Quickbooks or some other accounting software, so that might not be a big deal. The other challenge was importing our project management data from another system to TeamGantt. It didn't recognize all the same categories so we had to input some stuff manually. Finally, their mobile app is basically useless. There's no gantt chart and you can't update anything. It's basically a way to check your to-do list when you're not at your computer.

Reasons for Choosing TeamGantt

We started looking for new software because it was clunky to assign due dates with Avaza, we couldn't assign more than one user to a task, and we couldn't view multiple projects on one gantt chart.

Reasons for Switching to TeamGantt

User friendly, great layout, ability to view multiple projects on one gantt chart.

Pros

The layout is clean and clear. It is beautiful to look at, easy on the eye and you can personalise colours, zoom levels, timeframes etc. It is fast and responsive. It shows a simple snapshot, yet is rich in features once you get under the surface.

Cons

I wish I could use 100% of the screen real estate. There are a couple of menu bars that take up 10% of the screen. I would like to use the full window.

Microsoft Project, Basecamp, monday.com and Asana

Reasons for Choosing TeamGantt

Trello was just a simple Kanban. Excel was a static Gantt. We switched to bring these together in a cloud-based interface.

Reasons for Switching to TeamGantt

Others were too expensive or the layout was too cluttered and busy.

Pros

It's easy to drag& drop, link tasks to people
Also not everyone needs too have a paid account too use the software, just the one who manage the tasks.

Cons

No alerting when something is past due

Pros

Easy to visualise projects and status of the project / tasks.
Intuitive to use.

Cons

Using TeamGantt, I've noticed a couple of challenges. First, getting used to it took me some time. Even though it's designed to be user-friendly, the sheer number of features and the complexity of Gantt charts were a bit overwhelming at first. It wasn't just a plug-and-play experience; I had to invest time in learning how to use it effectively.

Secondly, the cost has been a consideration for me. As part of a small team with a tight budget, I found TeamGantt's pricing a bit steep for what we needed. While I appreciate its comprehensive features, I sometimes wonder if we could get by with a more affordable solution that still meets our basic project management needs.

Pros

TeamGantt is characterized by the ease of assigning tasks to team members, and members can track tasks and their impact on related tasks. Detecting the critical path is excellent, enabling us to take proactive steps to ensure delivery times are not affected. I enjoy the colors included for Gantt charts to show the status of tasks when updates are made to the workflow chart. In addition, the colors help all members understand the actual state of the business and help them know better the activities that need corrective action.

Cons

TeamGantt I find it easy to use, and I consider it suitable and ideal for preparing schedules for tasks and projects that include a limited number of activities. for large projects whose schedule consists of a lot of activities with WBS has a lot of sub-levels, the updates will get complicated and may get out of control.

Pros

I've been using TG for over a year on all of our projects. It's extremely flexible with how you can setup and track progress for all types of projects. I love the ability to share a public URL that has read only options for users to see real time progress. It also integrates well with Trello. Instead of buying more licenses for TG you can have users move cards in Trello that will update the status in real time within TG.

Cons

The most painful thing for me as a user as well as an admin is the dependencies. One wrong click or drag can change every single task below it. They do have an undo feature, but it's going to show all 50 (for example) of the events as changes. In my opinion it should show the 1 change and all of the 50 causes under it. This was and is my only major complaint.

Pros

TeamGantt is an amazing project management program for small enterprises because it is very user-friendly for beginners.

Cons

There is need for improvement in the discussion, notification, and uploaded file features.

Pros

Helps in organizing activities, by the groupings of respective tasks and subtasks. You can also find the dates of commencement and completion of each individual task. The application is very user-friendly, and you will be able to see an overview of various activities and their progress. With the application, we can break down every single activity along with assigning a deadline and hence you can create a good forecast about the time frames required for project completion. You can see who exactly is working on a task. The most attractive feature is that you can share these charts without logging in. You will find tutorials and demos about the use of the application. The one to one chat helps the team to interact and stay updated with the project. A lot of advanced integrations and collaborations are available to meet individual preferences.

Cons

Not much to mention here but, if you are using this application for large projects, it might be a little complex.

Pros

The only other tool I've ever used that could create Gantt charts like this was MS Excel, and it's not really fair to compare the two. TeamGantt is a project management tool designed from the ground up with Gantt charts at a center. It's an amazing, visual way to see your entire project laid out with assignments, durations, and dependencies all visible and editable. They also recently executed a little bit of a UI update, which was nice.

Cons

Gantt charts, by nature, are a little cumbersome to maintain. TG makes them about as easy as possibly, but if your team isn't into it (or you don't have PM managing it) it's not going to work for you.

Pros

Makes charting so much easier by allowing dependencies inside of projects. Each line item is collapsible and gives a nice high level view when condensed. Reporting can be shared easily and looks nice as well.

Cons

An individual license is cheap but once you start adding users it can get pretty steep.

Pros

It looks a lot like the timelines businesses have used forever and the view as a Gantt Diagram is great. Managers and people with more than 15 o 20 years in the industry are gonna feel as good and organic using it as millennials.

Cons

I don't like that its sidebar looks too much like asana's I don't know which came first but will love them to differentiate. Also, the free version offers just one project which doesn't gives the client the opportunity to feel they can't live without it.

Pros

Logically designed. Flexible data presentation. Accurate. Extremely fast to learn yet very powerful. Mobile and desktop. Very easy to configure.

Cons

We truthfully don't have any cons to share about Team Gantt. The software rocks.

Pros

Overall, it's fairly easy to use with a relatively intuitive UI. There are some areas where, as a user, I have to click around a bit in order to figure something out, but generally speaking it's easy to use.

Cons

No full screen view. This is an especially big handicap when we're looking at projects that span many months with day-to-day deliverables.

Pros

TeamGantt supports work-task breakdown, task assignment, intra-team communication as well as reporting to stakeholders. It is easy to use, easy to share, and constantly evolving for the better. Managing access is very simple. I can change one aspect of a task with a click or I can open a single page and find all task entry on that one page. I can display my workers at the foot of the page and see availability of each at a glance; making assignment easier. I get daily updates on every project, when teammates leave notes on a task, I have immediate notification (I can read the note).

Cons

All I can think of is that the application doesn't do my job for me :>)

Pros

Very easy to use. Linkage with Basecamp.

Cons

Sometimes it gets confused when calculating hours per day for individual resource.

Pros

Easy of usage, Design and Updates.

Cons

Does not have mobile app with notifications !

Pros

it simple can manage like excel. simply can create grant chat for my software application. can download as pdf

Cons

it it expensive software and trial period is not enough. other requirements are well enough for me.

Pros

It's easy to see the status of a project, and to notify others on how it's going. Our team has used it to communicate with remote staff and found it very helpful. Colours, symbols, and percentages clearly show the progress of a project.

Cons

I wish there was a way to manage the notifications and customize them more. Also, some functions are difficult to customize sometimes I have found there is no "edit" feature at all! So more customizability would be helpful.

Pros

Easy to create with robust options to create a detailed Gantt chart.

Cons

Only downside is you can only have one project with the free trail.
