Microsoft Project Viewer Comparison

There are several options available for project viewers.

Comparing project viewers, we recommend using Steelray Project Viewer.

The project viewers listed here were selected because they can open project files stored in the Microsoft Project native format (MPP). Remembering that the main benefit project viewers provide is cost savings, we did not test web-based viewers that require a server. These viewers were tested in August 2010. Newer versions of each product may have been released since this comparison was done.

The following project viewers are compared:
