Recommendations for project/schedule management software (besides MS Project)?
superboyac:
Are there any other good programs for making schedules for projects besides MS Project? We use MS Project at work, but I don't really like it that much due to a variety of reasons, and was wondering if there was anything better (free or commercial). Scheduling is the important feature here, I'm not as concerned with making to-do lists or other project management issues besides scheduling.

Funny, I have just been evaluting for work too. Hansoft.se is the only solution I found which looks good but it's darn expensive. The better ones are always hosted, I'm looking for intranet solution.

I've done some light research on this about a year ago and the ones that I remember are:
http://www.openworkbench.org - OpenWorkbench is open source software formerly called Niku and now sponsored by Computer Associates
http://www.ganttproject.org/ - Another open source software which focuses on Gantt charts and scheduling
Other alternatives are listed in the wikepedia entry -

We make a really good project management software that you can host internally, Vertabase Pro http://www.vertabase.com (and its very well priced -at least in my opinion :) ). A free trial is available on the website. If you have any questions on it, feel free to email me at [email protected].

I've looked at some of the "Web 2.0" project management solutions, especially Basecamp: http://www.basecamphq.com. Great little app, but a bit light for real project management IMHO.
One of our departments here also uses dotProject. It's web-based and we host it internally, but I HATED using it. Klunky, hard to use, more confusing than MS Project though I wouldn't have thought it possible. The IT guys seem to like it though.
Zoho also has a project management component of their suite, but I haven't really tried it yet. Free (for now) for one project, >1 starts @ $5.
