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.

Teamwork is awesome for teams who need a flexible tool that supports all types of projects. Since it supports kanban it makes visualizing the work to be done and the work in progress very easy. The Gantt chart support is decent and helps to understand how a team is doing when it comes to getting work done in a given time frame. Teamwork isn't a great option for companies that have a bunch of projects going simultaneously due to the way Teamwork structures their billing based on a number of active projects.

• 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.

• I am a believer that simple and easy should be the key to create great opportunities.
• Teamwork has helped me to turn simple task management into the execution of large, massive projects.
• It has certainly worked great in helping to maintain workflow in my department.

• 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

• Visualization needs to be improved, charts graphs are limited
• Value stream mapping should be available to determine and prioritize the work.
• Documentation should be available stepwise with export and printable facility.
• It should be configurable like ERP with cross functionalities of different users, where users login, assign and approve the work, job or project details, where it should be collectively effected on a project.
• Add many examples, little more AI, Machine learning required for suggestion and recommendation. It would be a plus point

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

We are already at an annual contract, and have been for the past 5 years; so far the system has delivered, and our personal is already trained in it. A major overhaul of our entire infrastructure (as in moving everything to a single, unified platform) might change the current continuity of Teamwork Projects on our organization, but that's not feasible in the near future.

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

The web based user interface is familiar, flexible (boards, task lists, and Gantts) and feature-rich. It is simple enough for the beginner to be effective and robust enough for experienced users to gain efficiencies with advanced techniques. Reporting is intuitive and can be customized for transfer via email or to paper. Great interoperability with other tools make teamwork dependable and a good partner for the overall technology stack.

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

The support service provided by Teamwork is excellent, and one of the best I've experienced. This is for the following reasons: (1) The speed at which they respond to queries I raise (2) The depth of understanding they have of the product (3) The way in which they are able to understand my questions without needing me to re-explain (4) The quality of the documentation available online (5) The openness they express about current issues and downtime

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.

I spoke about this quite a bit before, but as far as usability goes, Microsoft Projects is totally useless for me, so I avoid it at all costs. Basecamp was just a task management app and had very small feature set beyond that. We had to rig it to do other things for us, but it failed at that. Asana was a very nice app to trial, but it lacked many of the features that we were looking for.

• 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.

• Overall, it keeps our team on track ensuring that all of our projects are on time and on budget, which definitely contributes to our retention rates.
• It ensures that we're tracking time on billable tasks which contributes directly to our bottom line.
• Teamwork Projects also helps us better forecast when a clients project can be completed (alongside the other work our team needs to accomplish) AND it helps us more accurately quote projects in the future because we have historical time tracking data saved.
