Great resource management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it to see and plan employee utilization across projects for up to 20 employees at once, including freelancers. I authorized the purchase for our head manager, and also accessed views myself on occasion. Primarily the advantage for me as an exec was that through this software I can get that high-level glance of projects and resources and understand overall what the availability and use is across all our personnel. If I wanted to view invoicing specifics through it, I could, though I don't use it for that very often. I hear great things from my team regarding its benefits for them in terms of integrating their own calendars and planning within it.

Pros

  • Clear views
  • Employees said it was easy to use
  • They liked that it reflects changes immediately (or nearly immediately)

Cons

  • There are complaints about lag with the latest update
  • The hover functionality is a bit clunky
  • Not very complex in terms of how it inputs other data (Spreadsheets, etc.)

Return on Investment

  • Better at adjusting budgets in real-time
  • Gets us away from complex spreadsheets like Excel and Sheets
  • Feels like we have been a bit more scalable in our approach thanks to this software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to track and organize projects, resources and team member Hours

Pros

  • Gant chart views of time allocation
  • project description
  • resource utilization

Cons

  • filters to show what info you want in a clean and easy way
  • auto report generations seem clunky
  • maximizing view of data, there are limits on what you can see in a single screen

Return on Investment

  • We spend less time in this than in previous software but get better input and more complete data pictures
  • wish there was a way to make it easier for daily task assignments like in an agile situation
  • need more view options, more data and a way to adjust gant views
  • need more easy filter tools, so we see what we want quicker

A great tool for minimal budget and hours tracking, very little to no collaboration - Recommend for large companies!

Pros

  • Tracks freelance resource hours.
  • Tracks multiple small projects and milestones within the projects.
  • Tracks budget information and scope creep.

Cons

  • It's often confusing to use and find things, I sometimes find it to be a little counterintuitive as to where functions are (e.g. for tracking budgets and pulling reports).
  • When pulling a budget I always struggled to comb through the large amounts of data and time inputted. When I select a filter the page often wouldn't refresh or i'd forget to de-select a filter as it wasn't in an obvious place, which sometimes left me with pulling an incorrect budget.
  • The data is only as good as the people entering the time. Often with so many small tasks people would enter time incorrectly, in the wrong milestone or project. It lists all of your projects on one page, so it's not easy to enter it and there's a lot of room for error.

Return on Investment

  • Positive - We were able to track multiple projects at the same time and record accurate hours.
  • Positive - Able to pull budget and excel reports which can the be analyzed further and relatively simply.
  • Negative - There were a lot of times when hours were entered inaccurately which left us in a bind with budget and freelance billing.
