Merlin Project: Gantt & Kanban 4+

I find that it can be a bit of a fiddle to setup an output view of a schedule when compared to other similar products. Seems to lack the ability to easily collabrate with others.

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. There are various ways to collaborate with others, our support can help you further: support@projectwizards.net

Having used several other scheduling software, I can say that Merlin Project, with a few hours spent carefully working through tutorials, is an amazing application chock full of versatility. There are so many ways the software can be customized to one's unique situation, and unlike some of the other competing applications, Merlin Project makes this possible in a logical, user-friendly way. I appreciate how what could be a bloated application with options upon options is highly organized in a graphically pleasing manner. I'll need to spend more time using Merlin Project to give more specific feedback, but at this point, about the only major thing I feel could use improvement is the tutorial library. The tutorials could do a better job of demonstrating how to use the software through real-life applications instead of just simply stating what a button or command does...if that makes sense.

Awesome K_Eric_C! Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback regarding the things you like in the app and will work on creating more and better tutorial content.

Merlin is indeed magical. The ProjectWizards have been supporting and improving Merlin for years. This is not a side project or one of many focuses; this is their main focus.

The addition of integrated of Kanban boards is just one example of their commitment to adapting and improving.

And while they've moved to a subscription model, the pricing is very reasonable from the start, less than what one mght expect for upgrade pricing.

I like the fact that I can host data (my data, not theirs) locally on my computer, in my cloud space, and/or on my local server (using thier server software).

Their is a ton of new cloud-based subscription competition called "project management", which is really a jumbled overpriced mess where your data is held on someone elses server, with limited portabilty, and no access if you lose or simply are not connected to the internet. That's a disaster waiting to happen if you really need project management software and use it continuously.

The abiltiy to move projects to your own cloud service and later to a local server is a big reason the reason to start your projects using Merlin.

Looking forward to updated mnaulas and tutorials,

Thank you very much Dancingbrook. We are glad you like the app, its features, and our commitment. Be assured, your review increases our motivation even more :-)
