If you want a way to make the most beautiful Gantt charts you've ever seen... use Smart sheet. It's not free, but there is a free trial. I wanted to make a one page Gantt chart, that was vertical rather than horizontal, and I didn't want to pay money or download open project, and smart sheet came to the rescue. It does have more features, like assigning tasks to your team members... but I really only used it to make the Gantt chart of my dreams.

This is an open source project management tool which is comparable to Microsoft Project. It's a desktop application and it generates different charts such as Gantt chart, WBS, and networking. It also generates reports.

This is a web based project management tool that functions similarly to Smartsheet. There are a lot of bells and whistles, and it seems to be priced affordably starting at $20 a month. You can then pick and choose add on features for nominal pricing - choosing what you want and not having to pay for features you may not use. Managers can list milestones, tasks, subtasks, generate Gantt charts and resource charts, communicate using wikis, chats and forums and collaborate with others synchronously or asynchronously. Another neat feature is this cloud hosted technology integrates with Googledocs, Google calendar and gmail. This tool seems intuitive and offers many features worthy of looking into.

I've used this simple To Do list program for several years. It includes a task list, a calendar view and a Gantt chart. Probably not something to use with enormous complicated projects, but I use it for a lot of different things. It is a free utility that runs from an executable rather than installing a full program which makes it easy to give it a test run.

Teambox is an online tool for project management. It's free for up to 5 members on a team, so it's great for small projects. I love apps and websites that help keep me organized, so I am all over Teambox. The downside is that currently there isn't a gantt chart function, but It looks like they may release one in the next update.
