    Chose Certinia PS Cloud
    We were previously an OpenAir customer. The key reason for moving to FinancialForce PSA was the very tight integration with Salesforce.com. Salesforce.com is a core system at our company, the fact that FinancialForce PSA was built on the force.com platform made it very easy for …

    Pros
    Certinia
    • The biggest strength of FinancialForce PSA is that it's built upon the force.com platform, which means it is very easily customizable to our business needs.
    • Projects are easily created, as well as milestones and assignments.
    • "Actuals" (dollars and hours) are calculated automatically, and are easily reported on.
    • Resources are easily managed by using the Resource Planner
    • FinancialForce PSA support is outstanding!

    There is another PSA software program that we have been looking into (DreamFactory) that could potentially replace FinancialForce PSA in our organization. Like FinancialForce PSA, it is cloud based on the force.com platform. Licensing is slightly less than FinancialForce PSA, and the Resource Management tool is far superior to FinancialForce PSA. With that said, our renewal falls in Q4 2014 and I don't foresee us implementing a new system this fiscal year.

    Every time I submit a new help request, whether it's an actual help request or just a question about FinancialForce PSA, I always feel that I'm receiving world class support. The support we receive from FinancialForce PSA is always very detailed and professional. There are some requests that take longer than other for the initial response, which is why I did not give a full 10.

    As an admin, I've had more contact with OA support than most. I've found their response to tickets typically timely and helpful, however many of the responses to tickets are "we will file an enhancement request" and then I never hear about it again. So not terrible, but not a very fulfilling experience.

    FF PSA is a robust Project Management solution that can be configured to fits any size business. We have tried several other applications and PSA so far has met and exceeded our needs. We run our day to day operations on Salesforce so having a solution that is native was a must have. PSA met that requirement and much more.

    OpenAir accurately reflects changes in real-time as well as lends itself to see where a draw is at, when payment is expected and what percentage of the contract has been billed or approved to date. This helps with project billing and tracking as well as cash flow. Quickbooks lacks the ability to show progress draws, approved changes, and pending changes on a given project where OpenAir excels.

    • It covers our requirements for time tracking and project/resource management better than the previous solution we used.
    • Project managers are happier having this tool for their job and also because it is running on the cloud as opposed to running on-prem.
    • It doesn't help in any way improving the "chasing" of the people that don't submit their time-sheets in time. This one stayed the same as before.
