RationalPlan Reviews

“RationalPlan was the easiest project planner I could find

Pros

It's easy to learn and reasonably priced.

Cons

For a long time, I felt it had a Java look to it because they were trying to make a low-cost cross-platform product. But it's getting better.

“Rational Plan Multi and single

Pros

Rational Plan has been indispensable for us, providing just the right features for our everyday business needs. Its clean layout and intuitive navigation make it a standout choice. While there may be more powerful software out there, they often come with complexity and time-consuming maintenance. For us, Rational Plan strikes the perfect balance. Support is excellent, and both the Multi and Single versions cater to our needs efficiently. Pricing is fair, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

Cons

There are no options for me to limit the dates for printing, such as printing from January to September even though the project goes to December.

“Great Option for Small Business

Pros

It's low-cost and easy to get started with.

Cons

The interface still needs work in terms of user-friendliness.

“Best project management software

Pros

It meets my requirements, although there were some issues with high-resolution screens. However, the support team was really helpful and responsive, even during holidays and evenings.

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.

“Great tool for short money

Pros

The software provides a wide array of robust functionalities that cater to various needs and requirements, ensuring that users can accomplish tasks efficiently and effectively.

Cons

The interface has room for improvement in terms of professionalism, as it currently lacks the sophisticated and polished appearance expected from high-end software applications.

“A nice alternative at Microsoft Project

Pros

It has a wide range of features.

Cons

There's a lot of manual entry, especially at the beginning of a project.

“Business User

Pros

It is easy to use and provides access to most of the resources we need. I'd recommend it to other business professionals seeking similar resources. I wish more research software companies followed a similar process. It seems quite up-to-date.

Cons

With dozens of windows open, it occasionally freezes, which requires me to restart the app. I occasionally have to update a recently added line item, but it normally retains the recent work when this happens.

“Opinion on RationalPlan Multi

Pros

This is a great software, user-friendly, and contains all the necessary information for project management. I prefer using it over MS Project for managing several small projects.

The control of the graphic output could be better, especially for printing Gantt charts.

“Best Out There

There are not a lot of functions and the ability to customize the layout is limited.
