OpenProject is the best open source AceProject alternative for project management

AceProject is one of the oldest online project management software tools on the market. The application includes various project management features. It supports Gantt charts, task management, time and cost tracking, as well as document management. Let’s take a look at why OpenProject is the best AceProject alternative.

What does OpenProject offer?

OpenProject and AceProject both offer classic project management features. However, OpenProject also allows release management through product roadmaps. You can organize meetings directly within OpenProject and manage forums. AceProject is not open source, meaning users run the risk of depending solely on the vendor to make code adjustments. AceProject offers no self-hosted version. OpenProject on the other hand provides an on-premises edition.

Secure Open Source Alternative

Why is OpenProject better than AceProject for project management

If you are searching for an open source alternative to AceProject with an option to self-host, look no further.

We are open source

AceProject is a proprietary software. Therefore, users run the risk of depending solely on the vendor to make code adjustments and implement feature requests. OpenProject is an open source software and as such it can be the more secure and more cost efficient option. It provides absolute transparency and high flexibility levels, it fosters collaboration, while complying with highest security standards.

Host your own on-premises edition

With its strong commitment to data privacy and information security, OpenProject offers self-hosting through the Enterprise on-premises edition. An on-premises software offers the highest security level and allows to comply with the strictest data security regulations and ensures reliability. OpenProject provides the flexibility to customize, resulting a level of control over data processing and storage that the cloud often cannot offer. In addition, it offers a Powerful API for the integration of any application. AceProject does not offer an on-premises solution.

No compromises in data protection

If you decide to go with the cloud edition, you can be sure that your data is safe. OpenProject has its headquarters in the EU, is GDPR compliant by default and stores all of the data in the EU. AceProject stores its data with Amazon S3 services.
