If you hadn’t already guessed from the name, TeamGantt is an online Gantt chart software.
But what exactly does the software do? Can you do anything other than create Gantt charts? And more importantly, how does it fare in relation to other project management software?
In this review, we’ll give you a straight-talking breakdown of what TeamGantt is, what it can do, what people think of it, and how it compares to other project management platforms, like monday.com.
What is TeamGantt?
As we’ve already mentioned, TeamGantt helps teams create Gantt charts to plan and organize their projects. If you’re not familiar with what a Gantt chart is, it’s essentially a horizontal bar chart.
In monday.com it looks something like this:
What you see is what you get with TeamGantt. It’s a classic Gantt style interface. The software features a breakdown of the days in the month along the top, and the tasks required along the left hand side. Simple, but effective.
You can also choose to switch up the view and use their Kanban style boards. But, on the whole, TeamGantt is known for being a Gantt chart tool.

TeamGantt’s key features
Now, let’s take a look at what makes this platform tick.
Here are some of TeamGantt’s main features and functions:
- Drag and drop – TeamGantt allows users to drag and drop tasks within the chart itself. This makes it easy to change the project timeline (and as a side note, monday.com also allows users drag and drop their tasks).
- View multiple projects at once – Multiple projects can be hosted in one screen, meaning that you can see any crossover.
- See workload and team availability – Users can see how much capacity their team members have, which is useful when it comes to allocating new tasks to people on your team.
- View planned timeline vs. actual timeline – A feature that allows project managers to see if their original project plan was actually accurate. It’s also a great way to see if your initial project plan and task duration estimates were correct, and to spot where any hold ups have been happening throughout the project.
TeamGantt also enables some level of collaboration. This is a feature that is becoming more and more popular among online Gantt chart providers. Collaborative features include allowing users to provide project updates to other members of their team and being able to share these with internal and external stakeholders.
What are users saying about TeamGantt?
On the whole, TeamGantt has positive reviews. Like most services, there’s always room for improvement. But first, let’s see take a look at what they’re doing well.
Positively-rated features
Users have listed the following as TeamGantt’s best features:
- Easy to use for beginners – The software has an intuitive interface for those looking to get the ball rolling with Gantt charts.
- Customer support – TeamGantt provides its users with a variety of tutorials and support content on their website. It’s similar to the knowledgebase and community forum we have at monday.com.
Negatively-rated features
Now the flip-side: here are some of the most common concerns expressed by reviewers:
- No in-app notifications – If you want to use the platform as an app, you might be waiting a while. TeamGantt doesn’t enable notifications. Best to stick to desktop if you don’t want to miss a notification about an upcoming deadline.
- Limited integrations – TeamGantt has limited integrations of third-party tools. If you’re looking for something that can integrate with third party apps, TeamGantt might not be the right choice.
