Birdview vs. Sciforma

I think as a project management software, Easy Projects is great. We used spreadsheets before, and that led to a whole mess of confusion. Easy Projects gets everything in one place online -- you can access it from anywhere with an Internet connection and everyone is working off the same files. This works well for us as a marketing/graphic design group. Our colleagues in web design use it, as well, I'm told with success. So I know those two scenarios will work with the Easy Projects system. If you are selecting project management software, definitely know what you need a system to do in its most basic form -- then see what additional elements appeal to you. One thing you may want to investigate during your evaluation of Easy Projects is server space. We host this program and its files on an internal server, so we have to be sure there is enough space to accommodate open jobs and archive files.

Having a lot of different tasks to do each day, its project schedule tool allows me to quickly draw project structure, allocate tasks and resources and sync with my teams to stay on schedule. The software helps businesses prioritize projects and meet strategic objectives. It efficiently schedule projects and resources and keep track of different projects at the high level and detailed level. It utilizes full data intelligence and connect all decision makers and stake holders. For PMO, the platform can provide you a status portfolio overview that can quickly spot any issues and drill down to the details to identify the root cause to keep your project on track and on budget.

• Easy Projects is great for project management. It allows you to assign users, set tasks and end dates, and keep it all together in one working file/job. It's a project manager's dream -- you can look inside and see exactly what is going on and any missed deadlines.
• Easy Projects allows good customization of the fields. We have worked it so that in a job file, we can enter info about things specific to publication design -- size, file format, delivery location, etc. And we've been able to change these further over time as our needs change.
• Easy Projects allows for archiving of completed jobs. You don't have to see them every time you log in, but it's great to be able to go back and search through completed jobs (even several years back) to see what was done last time, who was assigning, costs, etc.
• Easy Projects allows you to pull reports and export them. This has proved helpful when we needed an overall log of jobs for a client or to pull a large number of costs.

• Flexible: I believe it is the best part. The software is completely and especially designed for our needs.
• Easy to use: any configuration can be done either by us or Sciforma. At first, we would only use the project extension. After a year, we decided to add more users and roll-out time tracking. We did the configuration by ourselves and didn’t need Sciforma’s help. It was pretty easy, even without having a dedicated developer.
• They have a lot of features: you can start as small as you want and always get more features . This was our case and we haven’t been limited so far.
• They are methodology agnostic: We use both Agile and Waterfall and it’s great to see it all rolls up to the portfolio level.

• Would love to see a way to create a project plan that is user friendly with various colours
• More robust reporting that would provide easy view to budget by task by person
• Would like to view various projects in different windows without going back and forth

• This may not be suitable for organizations who are not mature in enough in project management or that have very basic needs.

EP is great but could be better. EP has been a wonderful tool within our organization, it has helped us control expenses, resources, and the time needed to invest in each project, however when it comes to presenting reports and details it is a bit weak, there are more tools specialized in data visualization, and it would be good to make some kind of integration between EP and the other market alternatives

EP is easy to use and adaptable, its menu is intuitive and the design is pleasant.

In my personal experience, I only needed EP support once and the truth is that they attended me very well and very quickly, they helped me with what I needed, it was a question regarding the use of WebServices, they solved my doubt and then they contacted me another agent to verify that everything was resolved and if they could help me with anything else

This software allows project and portfolio managers to analyze and prioritize projects based on resource allocation and available effort. It helps you compare the sorecast effort with resource availability. You can email, call or tweet them if you have concerns.

I am really satisfied with the implementation of EP in our organization, since it is a very useful tool in our day-to-day work

Most project management systems are fairly the same, however, this would be better than monday.com in that it is more suited for project management professionals, and monday.com is more for anyone to use because it's more simple. This means Easy Projects are better equipped for the details needed to manage a project. The only drawback if you are a small group is that monday.com offers a free version where Easy Projects does not.

We were looking at vendors but they didn't meet our expectations and weren't flexible enough.

• Increased team collaboration improved the results significantly, because we managed to reduce the amount of time wasted on unnecessary iterations, therefore reducing costs.
• The reasonable pricing enabled us to enjoy the service we needed with with less impact on our budget than we've expected.

• Before Sciforma we were running projects out of Excel and emails. Using a cloud based application means that everyone is viewing information in real time.
• Our executive leadership knows that they have one place to go for a real time status on all of our strategic projects.
