What our customers say

  • The best Viewer on the market. I tested all of the viewers for MS Project available in the market place and in my opinion, Seavus Project Viewer was the best by far. Not only does it look like Microsoft Project (thus reducing our training overheads), but the network licensing model also made it possible to make it available at an extremely cost effective price to all the users within our organization. Well done.

    Andrew MacBethChief Information Officer, Lycopodium Engineering, Perth Australia

  • When we were unable to successfully download a trial version of the Seavus Project Viewer due to technical factors, we called the Seavus Customer Support whose services were immediately available. After a careful review of the situation, the support team representative provided us with a Seavus Project Viewer license and assisted us in its implementation.

  • My experience with you has been exceptional. Thank you for your timely response to all of our questions. I especially appreciate it when I find that this kind of service is most often not the case. Although the company behind the product is new to us, I feel that my experience with you has been exceptional. Good enough that I wanted to put it in words.

    Dan SullivanIS Manager, Midcon Cables Co.

  • I tried many Microsoft Project viewers before using Seavus Project Viewer, but none of them could display the usage views properly. I found it perfect in terms of viewing .mpp files at acceptable price levels. It is an application with excellent functions like highlighting whole rows, including Gantt bars when you select a task in a Gantt bar view...

  • I am very satisfied with the availability of the support team; they are professional and real experts in their job. My case was successfully resolved and what is more important it was resolved very fast. When I sent them my first email explaining the issue, I got immediate response and it kept going that way until the resolution was found.

  • It is great to work with Seavus Project Viewer, very user friendly, and for a lower price than other viewers. It has exactly the same view as Microsoft Project, and some other features that allow me to configure my toolbar the way I like. Very easy to use and with deep functionality.

    Mr. Martin ArendEMH metering GmbH & Co. KG

  • We wanted a project reader which looked as much as possible as the MS Project version, but at a fraction of the price. Seavus Project Viewer was from our point of view the one which could answer this need. The product helps us reduce costs and I think all features are useful...
