5 years working with Easy Project
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Easy Projects in our organization as a project management tool. In my specific case, our Web Project managers open tasks (daily tasks) and them assign to a Web Builder. Later I can track times, performance, check dashboards, etc.
In addition EP help to or Organization track budget in projects, deadlines, resources administration, roles into a specific project the last one is very important, in some case you could be a Project manager or Requestor en others you could be de Owner.
Maybe a API or tool to connect EP with PowerBI will be awesome.

Pros
- Easy Projects has a really nice UI. It's really easy [to] work there and make our projects easy to follow.
- Great support. A few times I had to talk with support about API connections and they answered me quickly and kindly.
- It's stable. I cannot remember a day when Easy Projects' platform [was] down, so it's really STABLE.
- Charts and reports are very easy to use
Cons
- More custom charts options.
- Recent update remove[d] the option to "save as" an attachment file, so [it made] more difficult the files/documents' organization.
- Set or find a filter with "date" is hard to do. Many times someone in our team makes the mistake to modify all dates in a project because dates range in the dashboard task looks like a filter, or we don't have a date filter.
- API or conections to another tools like PowerBi or Tableau
- Better filters, is really hard find filter to a date range.
Most Important Features
- Track Deadlines
- Check roles into the project
- Assign responsabilities into the project
- Comments into the task

Return on Investment
