Leave a Review SG Project Pro 5
SG Project 5
I have been using SG products (SGP) for over a year to manage multiple projects in a product development environment at the Application & Technology Transfer Lab at The Center for Composites Material - UD. This has been quite helpful to manage large groups and multiple projects simultaneously. I am an ex-Microsoft Project (MSP) user and quite frankly find most all the MSP functionality in SGP and more. The ability to include action items, risk items, and issues are extremely helpful. The ability to assign these automatically to resources via email or the drop box is invaluable. All project plans get communicated to my group and clients automatically.
The latest release of SG Project Pro 5 is extremely stable and the improved memory management has increased the speed quite considerably. Thanks Ty+
The most valued aspect of SG Products is the technical support. The response times to most of my requests have been within 12 hours which is unheard of in the software support industry. In fact, SG is quite responsive to user requests to include new features - several features I have requested are now in the latest release.
I would recommend SG products to any professional who takes program management seriously.

Great app
So right off the bat this app does everything you need to run and manage projects. Over the years I've used custom made spreadsheets, Microsoft Project and just lately Smartsheets to help run business IT projects. This app is just so simple to use with very little work to set up a new project. Sure you'll need to get used to the features and learn some of the basics, but the creators have thought of that and provide useful videos on their website. I have also had first hand experience with after care support, and well what can I say, a response within an hour.
If you're looking for an on the go iPad project management app, this is it.Show lessMisk001
Serious project planning and tracking
If you need a professional project planning and tracking tool, you should take a serious look at SG. I have a Mac and an iPad and the data integration is seamless. I can make changes on either platform and they're sync'd via the cloud. On my last gig I went from zero to a 50 task project with dependencies in less then an hour. That included resources and costing. I had a pdf report ready for my customer by the time he came to my desk.
I use the iPad when I travel to my customer sites and updating and modifying projects is easy. The new version 5 updates make it even simpler.Show lessCaptainStarwizz
Excellent Project Management App
SG Project Pro 5 is by far the "best of breed" in Project Management applications on any platform. On the iPad platform it will quickly be the most valuable tool in your Project Management "toolbox". Developer is extremely responsive to any questions (if it isn't already covered on the excellent online training videos). SG Project Pro was born from real-life experience and has so much flexibility - it combines scheduling, cost management in a single platform that also manages "Issues", "Risks" and "Action Items". The reporting functions are top notch and can be "tuned" to respective audiences (as needed) with much thought given to automate the mundane tasks. Do yourself a favor, look @ the online training videos @ developers website and you will not be disappointed with your purchase. Don't waste your $$$ anywhere else... Cheers ~ job well done!Show lessHBoom57
Great Project Management App
SG Project Pro is a tremendous app that really shows off well what the iPad is capable of doing!
For managing projects on the go, it's very hard to beat. It allows you to review and update your projects virtually in real time no matter what location you're at.
It works very similarly to Microsoft Project, but is much simpler and more intuitive to use. It's great at managing a single project for just one or two people or for managing multiple projects for many people.
The developer is very responsive and has obviously spent a lot of time thinking through things and designing the app to be extremely easy to use and very efficient.
If you're wondering what the app is all about and how it works, go to the developer's website and watch the videos to learn all about it. Not only will you learn about the app, but you'll pick up some good tips for project management, also.
I've been using SG Project Pro for several years and just decided to upgrade to version 5.1 and it has been well worth it. A great app has become a truly excellent app which now looks and works even better than before.
If you manage projects regularly, it is a definite must have for your app toolbox!Show lessBanditoB
Great App
I run several large projects at any one time and find this app extremely useful. I would good that on the next update there could be a way that a company logo could be introduced into the reportMarkww63
Still on the fence
Still on the fence on version 5. I migrated (have to manually move) projects from version 4. Right now, the tasks are the hardest to work in. Version 4 was much more intuitive with things at your fingertips. I find myself searching and fighting for simple navigation between items, and simple functions like linking tasks. I really like the app and think it is very helpful as an architect, but at the moment, really pondering going back to version 4 till more updates/tweaks come out.Show lesstk123456
Account Manager
APP LOCKS UP I am using the latest os for iPad air. I have emailed the developers twice with zero response. I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR AN APP THAT DOES NOT WORK AND A DEVELOPER THAT OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT CARE.
WHAT THE SAYING “BUYER BEWARE"JJW58
No upgrade path, full purchase for new versions.
Absolutely brilliant app, however, quite displeased at having to make a full purchase of SG Pro 5 despite having purchased SG Pro in the past, and not something called "SG Pro 4." Don't get me wrong, the app is worth the purchase, but an upgrade path would have been appreciated by your current clients who have supported the company to arrive at SG Pro 5.Show less-DocD-
Simple, Yet Powerful
My previous employer spent the big bucks equipping my team with Microsoft Project. But for the past couple years on my own and now with my employer were using SimpleGenius ProjectPro and couldn't be more satisfied. Just as powerful in the key areas, yet it is simpler to use and at a fraction of the cost. I haven't had any issues with the program but whenever I have reached out to the developers for help or suggestions, they have been very responsive too.Show lessKneebraski
