I noticed the templates were pretty lacking, but that will improve. The application seemed pretty nice when I downloaded it with a good layout and design. (Of course they did better than I could if I tried to make a website in German.) The website is very poorly translated from German and is almost unintelligible. It seems to be moving in the right direction, BUT.
#HOW TO OPEN MERLIN PROJECT FREE#
Since I have been MS free since 2003, there aren't many options. I have been in the market for a good project management ap for a while. Seemingly good interface, features and stability, but until I can actually TRY it in a real-world scenario, I really can't say if it's worth the price. It also continually switches view modes when you add an asset, which is somewhat annoying. The only major thing that I'm able to gleem as a place for improvement is that the assets that you attach to items (docs, notes, etc.) feels a little buried and they aren't readily accessible in all views. The Netplan view looks interesting, but again with the limited items, it's hard to see how useful it'd be for me.
#HOW TO OPEN MERLIN PROJECT SOFTWARE#
The Gantt layout is nice and less buggy than the other software I've tried. Even the templates included with the software won't load completely due to the limitation! Trying to imagine if it will work for me makes it much harder to fork over $200 of my company's money. Why can't any of the project management software developers realize what we need to properly evaluate their product in a real working environment?Ī limit of "20 items" is a huge barrier when you're trying to determine if a product will really fit into the way your business works. Out of all the project management apps I've tried, this one SEEMS to be among the top few in terms of interface and stability - but I'm not totally sure due to the item/tasks limitation of the demo. but how much is your time worth to sweat with something that is not smooth? I've not had any corrupt project files or crashes.
#HOW TO OPEN MERLIN PROJECT MAC#
If you love Mac and are running a project, then you have to have a planning tool. Overall, I think Merlin is not bad value for money. This is done by double clicking the project file on the my mac and then merlin and the project open. It was created in MSproject and imported into Merlin. The overall project plan is larger at 662 activities. This is easy - just 'export' instead of 'save'. I have to export from Merlin to them every week also. The layout and presentation are the envy of my fellow MSproject users. There are no stability problems that I can see and even annoying usability bugs have now gone.
#HOW TO OPEN MERLIN PROJECT UPDATE#
I update this on a daily basis as per progress. I've been using Merlin for 10 months now on this project. I run a low spec Apple Macbook with Merlin Project on it. I am a project manager by trade working in the Netherlands on a 150 person project for a phone company.
And now that it has resource leveling, if I needed a PM app, I'd use Merlin in a heartbeat based on my earlier experience. (In checking the current user guide, I see that resource leveling is now included in Merlin.)īut even without resource leveling, Merlin was so easy to use and created such great looking graphics that I used it for my project status reports. The only reason I didn't end up using Merlin as my main PM app was because at that time it didn't have resource leveling, which was an absolute requirement for me.
The interface was terrific, the software was intuitive, and the support was great…no wait, it was better than that. It was barbaric, but it worked.Īs I was trying all the different Mac PM apps, I came across Merlin. At the time, there really wasn't a project management app for the Mac that had all the features I needed, so I ended up going with MS Project running on Windows in Virtual PC. I'm not going to review or rate Merlin because I haven't used it in many years (I think 2006 was the last time I used it).
