As impressions I tried actually used, it is rather high function, so it is not suitable for simple project management, but if you want to steadily incorporate the project you may be able to use it. Also, since it is possible to open the file of Microsoft Project, it is likely to be applicable to simply sharing the project cheaply by everyone. There were cases where the operation was a little tough, and switching of the Gantt chart did not work well, but it will be improved depending on future version upgrades. More than anything, I am amazed at the fact that sophisticated things are free.
