The short version

  • Only Apache Druid has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Apache Druid open-source offering lacks high-availability, distributed architecture, and enterprise security features; GanttPRO workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • They diverge on capability: Apache Druid covers Real-time Ingestion, GanttPRO covers Gantt charts.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Apache Druid

  • Open-source offering lacks high-availability, distributed architecture, and enterprise security features
  • Requires native integration with Apache Kafka or Amazon Kinesis for real-time ingestion; custom integrations need development
  • High-concurrency query support (hundreds of thousands QPS) requires significant cluster infrastructure investment

GanttPRO

  • Workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • SAML SSO, custom roles and API access are Enterprise only at $25 per user per month
  • The Enterprise plan carries a 5 user minimum and requires an annual subscription
  • Custom fields and calendar view are excluded from the entry Core plan
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing, which the vendor prices 20% below monthly
