RationalPlan Reviews

Best for project management

Pros

RationalPlan helps us manage our company's projects in the best way possible.

Cons

It has worked great so far. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about it.

Great for collaboration

Pros

The collaboration on this software is unmatched. We just finished the free trial and we're definitely going to buy it. Can't wait to explore all the features.

Cons

I haven't found any issues with RationalPlan yet.

Simple to use but lacks community support

Pros

This software is easy to pick up. I use it for smaller projects that need professional looking Gantt charts but without all the complexity of bigger software like P6. It's quick and simple to develop a project schedule.

Cons

The software doesn't have the same level of user support as more popular tools like MS Project. If I run into an issue with MS Project I can usually find help online but it's harder to do that with this one.

Quick to set up

Pros

Setting it up is really easy and I can start creating Gantt chart timings right away.

Cons

It could use a little upgrade maybe a bit more interactive, like adding drag and drop features.

Easy to use

Pros

It's super easy to use even if you're a beginner. You can also add your company logo to the printouts.

Cons

I don't have any complaints right now.

Lots of features

Pros

It's easy to learn and understand. There are a lot of features some of which I haven't even explored yet.

Cons

I'm still figuring out how to open multiple projects at once and I can't seem to figure out how to sort things properly.

Great for students to learn

Pros

The software follows similar principles to MS Project making it easier for my students to learn. The compatibility with MS Project also helps students who use MacBooks and can't install MS Project on their devices.

Cons

The reporting features could definitely use some work. It's just not as advanced as MS Project.

Easy to navigate

Pros

It's user-friendly and easy to navigate. Our special events director set up events with minimal help after just a little bit of instruction.

Cons

So far I haven't had any problems. Customer support has been super helpful when I needed them.

Perfect for project planning

Pros

We were looking for project planning software and this one worked out perfectly. It's simple and easy to use for our projects. I can create project timelines build roadmaps (like Gantt charts) and handle other basic project management tasks.

Cons

I really can't think of anything. It does everything we need for our smaller projects.
