RationalPlan is just the perfect app I'm looking for - simple intuitive interface with a decent presentation style and at an amazingly affordable price\! I must add that the support team has been ultra responsive when help is needed. ----- ### "Very Effective Project Management Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *16 February 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a native Mac program that imports and exports MS Project files efficiently. > > **Cons**: I have had some issues over the years with specific bugs. But to their credit, RationalPlan has always been quick to respond with a resolution to the issues. I still seem to have some issues with the printing format and how it handles logos. > > I work with a lot of different customers and am constantly importing and exporting project plans (converting from MS Project). RationalPlan allows me to effectively and efficiently work with the plans in this mixed environment. I find it an essential tool for my business. ----- ### "Good but can be better" — 3.0/5 > **Alfonso** | *16 February 2017* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works under linux, it manages multiple projects. > > **Cons**: See main review > > First of all I'm not a gantt expert. I just share my thoughts. I have a big problem: On Linux last version is troublesome: in the gantt visualization, the mouse arrow blocks itself when passing on the gantt chart, while it goes smooth on other parts of the window. Another thing I find bad is when I change tasks duration/resources/manhours. I would kike it to be in "full manual" control if I want. Beacuse sometimes automatic adjustments simply don work. For the rest It is a GREAT product. ----- ### "The Best Planning Software for Linux" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *29 May 2015* > > I have trialled several planning software applications and have find that RationalPlan is the best I have come across. I am using the Single version, which is free for Linux users, for other OS there is a charge. There is MultiProject version which is not free. Gantt Chart Too many of the software I have looked at is too much like MS Project 2003 which looks very 1980's. Presentation is always an important issue for clients and indeed colleagues, and RationalPlan certainly ticks the right boxes as the colour of the bars can be changed in the Settings/Options. Trying to fit a gantt chart and data columns onto an A4 or A3 can always be a frustrating exercise, which ever software package you are using. In RationalPlan, however, the best way is through Reports/More/Gantt, where there are the options to help you to manipulate the image to fit on the size of paper. There is one item that does puzzle me, is that the Gantt report option is hidden under "More" and not displayed in the drop-down menu. Data Data import is easy and anyone familiar with this type of project planning applications should not find it a problem. For beginners resource input will always present some problems, but trial and error should sort these out. Data can by exported to xls either the whole data or through reports, for manipulation. One of the annoying aspects of some planning software and versions of MS Project was the default setting for resource hours on the task duration which was Effort Driven resulting in the duration changing when the hours changed. In RationalPlan I am pleased to say that the default is Fixed Units, the changes which do not have an impact on the duration. Customer support I have found is excellent having used it several times. I would not hesitate in recommending RationalPlan as a planning software to Linux users. ----- ### "Project management done absolutely in right way" — 5.0/5 > **Tugce** | *18 November 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: RationalPlan makes it possible for us to manage the projects that we run inside the company in the most optimal way. > > **Cons**: RationalPlan is so successful so far and I do not have anything negative that worth to write here. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/74048/rationalplan?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/74048/rationalplan) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
