“The implementation of ProjectManager, from day one, was the easiest implementation I’ve ever dealt with as a Mac user. That includes Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe, pick a name. It was the simplest product I ever worked with robust capabilities.”

Features that enticed teams to choose ProjectManager over MS Project for Mac
Create Gantt charts to stay on track
ProjectManager has an award-winning online Gantt chart that’s viewable and editable by the entire team at all times, including users that need to open and edit files from Microsoft Project on Mac. Unlike Microsoft Project, you don’t have to worry about multiple MPP files floating around that contain outdated information.
- Set project timelines, baselines and track all dependency types
- Real-time connectivity makes it easy to collaborate as projects evolve
- Easily export and share the Gantt chart in universal formats

Work with anyone, anywhere
It’s easy to collaborate in real time with your team on ProjectManager regardless of where they’re located or what device they’re using. ProjectManager is a cloud-based solution that works on both Windows and macOS devices. Microsoft Project requires manual data entry, costly on-premise solutions and proprietary software to stay connected, making it hard for teams to stay updated.
- Real-time dashboards and reports to stay updated on data
- Data remains consistent across project views
- Mobile app to stay connected on the go

More features for your money
One of the main reasons that makes ProjectManager the best alternative to Microsoft Project for Mac users is that it offers significantly more project management features at a fraction of the cost. Full Microsoft Project functionality requires other expensive subscriptions and add-ons.
- Integrate with over 1,000 other business applications
- Priority technical support and dedicated account manager
- Straightforward pricing with transparent features and free templates
