"Surprisingly good piece of software"

December 13, 2013  |   By andydncan

Version: Office Timeline 2013 1.08.20

Pros

I love that it is integrated right into to PowerPoint which makes it very easy for me to use.

It is simple and creates really nice looking timelines and gantt slides fast. (I have been asked be several colleagues how I built my project slides.)

Cons

This is not the latest version. I downloaded this and then learned there is a new free version which I had to download again from their website.

Summary

I have had a completely different experience from the person below. This tool has been a great find for me. In my work I need to make about 2- 3 project slides each month and they used to take a long time to build. Now, I use this tool and I honestly laugh at how much time it saves me.

"Very limited"

Version: Office Timeline 2013 1.08.20

Pros

I've had about 30 or so timeline projects come up since I purchased it. It has worked for NONE of them.

Cons

I have had quite a few calls to do timelines for various projects. I bought this to help. I've tried and tried but haven't had a single one that I've been able to make work with the limited customization of this.

Summary

I have given this program more time than it deserved and have not been able to produce a single usable timeline project. They should spend more time on making a single one usable than making different ones. I simply can not recommend this. I've had it for 2 years now and have tried it on many, many projects and haven't gotten a single usable, quality timeline.

"Waste of your time"

July 16, 2013  |   By Gorlomi

Version: Office Timeline 2013 1.08.20

Pros

For a few minutes you dream a free timeline toole

Cons

- if you choose "advanced installation" you see the attempt to instal unrequested software
- finished installation, you discover there is a newer version of the sw
- When I start this software, it ask me an activation code. You must go on the company website, fill a form with your data, get the code
- tired of all this, I try to uninstal the sw. In control panel is impossible to find the uninstaller. Same thing in Advanced System Care

Summary

I wasted 20 min.

"Exactly What We Needed"

August 24, 2011  |   By granitemarblewa

Version: Office Timeline 2013 1.11

Pros

We needed something simple for tracking our company projects. This is exactly that. Very easy to use. I love the wizard and the ability to quickly customize project schedules. I tried different timeline makers and this one is by far the best.

Cons

It doesn't have the ability to add pictures to timelines but you can add them manually in PowerPoint after it has made the timeline.

Summary

Great product. I'm really happy about the price! (free :-)). Definitely worth having if you make project schedules.
