    Basecamp is very simple project management software. MSP - is the complex software with a lot of functionality and methodologies. MSP is a decision for project professionals with cost value support, advanced resource management, gantt graphics and many other things.

    Full-featured mac project management software, including all the important features of MS Project that other alternatives lack, such as network diagrams; it's basically MS Project but with a UI that isn't horrible.

    ProjectManager.com is a good alternative to Microsoft Project because it has many of the same features, such as Gantt charts, except on a flexible, cloud-based platform.
