Since I stay on the bleeding edge of the OS X operating system, I have had small problems with 3rd party software. Each time I have had a question for the iTaskX team they come back with a real solution in a fast (read non-critical path) reply.

I am very comfortable with MS project in all its forms but I use this Project Management Software the most of all PMP software we own.
I did not consider it in my final purchase for several reasons one was its interoperability with MS Project. I am waiting on two functions that would make me lead our project team completely away from MS Project 1.

The WBS code that can be a custom coded (I use CSA codes for tasks) and the report for the project that is more document or export to pages /Word for a friendlier format than a grid. We purchases iTaskX about 6 months ago, and I've used it in several applications. The software is well-suited to relatively simple projects of a few hundred tasks and a dozen resources. The input is straightforward, and there's ample help. There are a few annoyances (like why is there a 7% increase in resource costs if input as $$/year instead of $$/mo or $$/hr?) that you have to work around, but the iTaskX is very serviceable.
If your project is complex, however, the software is not up to the demands. I tried to cost out the annual strategic plan for a small firm of 10 employees. You can't use common resource lists, or separate projects into sub-projects/master project, and reporting features are very limited.

#RAINLENDAR PRO 2.10 MANUAL#Ĭutting and pasting tasks across sheets drops the resource assignments, and so each task has to be assigned by hand in a rather tedious manual process. I'm ashamed to say I had to get VMWare and use MS Project. And even then, the importing of iTaskX xml files into MS Project was not seamless, as claimed. Overall, iTaskX is fine for small projects, but is not yet up to the task of complex projects. I've tried the demo version and decided to place the order just now. In the paste 6 hours, I've send 3 emails (and got replies for all of them) regarding some localization issues (Chinese) and got some solid response from the tech support. I like the feature that user can set their own 'Views' and be able to see it with a click of mouse immediately. The 'Page Layout view' is got some nice touch such as the '%' of the output so user can try to size up/down the document to fit in the final output.įew things I would like to see in the future release:ġ. Rename of the column so I can shorten the column heading during printout when necessary.Ģ. Set the custom Views for specific project onlyģ. Template I don't know if there are any template to download from? (maybe someone can help me out here) Few more bar styles at the moment, there seems to be the rectangle type only.Ĥ. I came from the Windows world and I am quite happy to find this PM software on the Mac. This is definetely one of the good ones for the Mac plateform.
