Pros:

What I love is that it integrates our data so seamlessly between HubSpot and Harvest. It's a tool that removed quite a bit of manual work across spreadsheets to make our resourcing and forecasting far more powerful and reliable.

Cons:

There's nothing that I dislike about Parallax, there are the usual feature requests with any platform you have where you say, "oh if this just did this" but, they are really amazing at receiving feedback from their users and asking questions and evolving the platform as they grow which is awesome to see!

Reasons for choosing Parallax

It integrated so seamlessly with existing platforms we had and we believe in what [sensitive content hidden] are creating and growing!

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for the kind words and positive review Jessica. Its so great to hear that you've been able to drop some of the manual work and are feeling more confident in your forecasts. That's exactly the goal! Please keep those "oh if this just did this" feedback coming and we'll do our best to address those wishes with future enhancements. Thanks again for your support and partnership.

Pros:

Parallax has been a great tool for our small consulting organization. The tool has transformed how we resource our team to projects and review utilization. The ability to see and manipulate our revenue forecast based on the pipeline of work has brought much needed visibility across the leadership team.

Cons:

I can't think of anything. The entire experience has been positive and many of my feature requests have already been addressed.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

OpenAir was extremely difficult to use and did not provide the data we needed to be successful.

A great idea

The Parallax team is really nice, and I'm rooting for them! I think that in order to be more useful, we could use better communication around release notes (or some expectations about when/what type of communication we can expect). Sometimes I crack it open and there are new features that I find myself needing to learn on the fly. Cool to have new features (and mostly I really can figure them out) but some closing of those loops would be helpful.

Pros:

I'd say that what Parallax is trying to tackle is nothing short of heroic. In the studio/agency space, we're all trying to figure out what capacity we're operating at, and how to ensure teams are resourced, happy, motivated – and that our projects are making money. Parallax tries to take all of this on and provide smart reporting. The promise of all of this was definitely what drew our team to this software. I've also personally enjoyed being involved in the product testing/roadmapping process. I feel like a lot of the suggestions my team has made along the way have been implemented or considered.

Cons:

Parallax is still starting out. So over the months there have been a lot of growing pains that we've needed to contend with – mostly in the form of workarounds. This has made things like reporting still need to happen – for us anyway – outside of the tool. My other issue with Parallax is how much it relies on getting everyone's allocation exactly right to be truly useful. This is nearly impossible to manage with the normal ups and downs of business, and when you figure in non-billable time like vacations, internal projects, and sick time things get squirrelly quick.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback and your ongoing partnership Vanessa. Your input to date has been incredibly valuable. One of the items on our near term roadmap is all around improved PTO and Holiday handing. We'll be sure to get your input on those features as they get closer to reality. In the meantime, please keep us in the loop on any "squirrelly" issues. We're here to help!

Pros:

It solved a lot of the challenges with our past resource and revenue planning tools and better automated them. This is easier for our team members to understand their weekly allocations than our previous solution too.

Cons:

Sometimes the saving, syncing can be laggy.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

Price&Cost was very buggy and the plans didn't integrate into Forecast. Forecast was not easy to modify plans as the project progressed and didn't have any integration with our time tracking to monitor our progress and help us adjust.

An indispensable tool for Operations

Learning curve was steep and onboarding effort was high but the outcome has been worth it. We've realized real gains in utilization (and subsequently revenue), it's given the operations team peace of mind that we've got enough people to do the work (even in the pipeline) and it's given leadership insight that we've never had.

Functionality

Pros:

Parallax provides insight into past, present and FUTURE utilization, revenue, and project risk that we've never had before. We make better decisions and are more informed than we've ever been as an organization in those areas.

Cons:

It is a complex tool that the extremely-well-versed PX team has built to address most of the nuances of agency resourcing and billing. As a result the - the effort (both rote and complex) to get projects and employees set up is substantial the larger the agency (we're 70 people and about as many ongoing projects) - the learning curve to set it up RIGHT is steep, so there will inevitably be some trial and error to get it set up to work best with your organization. Short version, it was 10 months after kickoff before I got complete data out that I trusted.

Reasons for choosing Parallax

It came down to doing things the way we had been, which was better than nothing but not a step forward, or completely changing out our broader infrastructure (ticketing, task management, time tracking) for a more all-in-one tool. Ultimately PX's approach of "keep using the tools you like and PX will fill the gap better than an All in one" won out.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

PX promised a robust tool that would give us 500% more data and insight for only 50% more effort.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thorough and thoughtful review of Parallax. We're excited to hear that you are seeing value in the insights being provided, especially as it relates to future forecasting! We're continuously working on streamlining and improving the onboarding and implementation process. Please keep the feedback coming, especially if there are specific ideas that you think would flatten out the learning curve. Thanks again for your support and partnership.

Parallax enables us to manage our present and plan for our future

Parallax has been an invaluable tool as we've scaled our software consulting business and team to over 65 employees. As Head of Delivery, I use Parallax on a daily basis to review project assignments, evaluate staffing decisions, and analyze capacity & utilization. The product team at Parallax is very engaged with their users and we have seen many new and useful features added to the product after the past year. Early on in our usage of the product we focused on making sure our data in Parallax was a 'source of truth' for the business but now, with the new tools and reports available, we are able to be more proactive in capacity planning and hiring.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

What makes Parallax so powerful is the breadth and depth of views and reports that are available to you as a user. I can easily view projects and people in parallel or quickly pivot to dive into a single project. There are also reports for digging into utilization, capacity, and hiring forecasts that enable many different ways to slice the data. Parallax does a great job of enabling filtering and searching through many dimensions on all pages and reports so that it can handle the high variety of use cases that are involved with project and staffing management.

Cons:

There is a learning curve to the terminology used in the various reports and dashboards. As someone who was new to many of the concepts, I had to frequently remind myself how to interpret the results of a report and which fields were the most relevant to my query. Because the reports and dashboards aren't entirely intuitive to a new user, this has also been a challenge to scaling use of the product across our organization. That said, once we gained some in-house experts on the software, it became much easier to train people and drive adoption.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

Forecast had useful tools for tracking project assignments but it didn't serve our needs for capacity analysis, pipeline projects, and hiring forecasts. Parallax is a great 'source of truth' and is highly configurable to our required use cases.

Vendor Response

Nick, thank you very much for the thoughtful review. We're very happy to hear that you are seeing value in the product, feel the engagement from our team and are enjoying the most recent product updates. Please keep the feedback coming! We love learning from our customers, especially when that feedback improves the experience for everyone! Thanks again for your partnership and support.

Powerhouse PSA Tool

Our problem was that we had lots of different softwares that gave us information that could useful, but no way to congregate the data into one place that could synthesize it and help us make decisions. Previously we used a spreadsheet to track our team's allocation and Parallax's resource allocation has been a game changer. We now are able to see who needs work or is overworked and what projects are coming down the pipeline very easily to make sure we remain well staffed and our team is allocated properly.

Pros:

The features in Parallax that are the most impactful were how the product seamless integrates all of our systems into a viewpoint that allows us to leverage that data to make decisions. It allowed us to use our sales pipeline, current active projects, and staff to plan and forecast efficiently. We also really enjoyed working with the team at Parallax. They were consistent, knowledgeable and incredibly easy to work with.

Cons:

Integration with Parallax was very seamless. One thing that we would like to see is the ability to add notes or comments on items throughout Parallax. Sometimes it is helpful to add quick comments or notes to projects or the sales pipeline to keep track of things that were discussed in and out of meetings.

Reasons for choosing Parallax

Pricing and the connection with the Parallax team. We did not find the same commitment to our success or the level of responsiveness from other teams.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

We chose Parallax because of their team. It felt like they were invested in our success and we really enjoyed working with them. The product also gave us everything that we needed and more to grow and succeed.

Thank you so much for the kind review Danielle! We're having a blast working with you and your team. And side note... er, speaking of notes, we will be rolling out the ability to leave notes and comments within Parallax later this month! Stay tuned!

Not intuitive but critical for resource management

Overall, it's an improvement over Forecast (our previous tool), but performance and ease of use are somewhat prohibitive to rolling this out to the rest of the team for heavier adoption. Despite having so many users, only a few of the people on the team have been able to really use the tools effectively without intensive onboarding.

Pros:

Primarily use this for resource management and to solve open resource needs.

Cons:

Often very very slow when looking at large projects or large team views. Some quirks with timeline view. Wish you could add notes for open resources or formalize resource requests in more meaningful ways. Often defaults to views based on quarter and I have to repeat efforts to set my filters. When the team and project sizes get larger, this becomes a problem.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

Company decision to better align sales tools with forecasting

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback Joseph. We're happy to hear that Parallax has proved to be an improvement over your previous tool set. We are continuously working on improvements to performance and usability, for example we will be able to support change log and notes in the near future, but understand your team has struggled to adopt Parallax more broadly while waiting for these updates. We'd love to learn more about how you would prioritize those changes. To that end, we have reached out to see if we can find some time to dig a bit deeper with your team. In the meantime, feel free to share more feedback directly. Thank you very much for your partnership and patience!

Pros:

I like finally being able to see all current and prospective projects in one place, loaded onto the team

Cons:

There's still some clunkiness to the interface. For example, I keep it open in a tab at all times, but I typically have to reload the page when I move away from it, sometimes with a notification that the application needs to be refreshed, but sometimes when it just stops displaying data. The reports are also almost TOO robust to be usable. Not sure how to improve them, I just know that we spend a lot of time tinkering with how to make them readable and useful for our purposes. Particular pain point for me is how to "monte carlo" our existing jobs in the pipeline to determine most likely and least likely scenarios for certain jobs coming in. There may be a way to do it, but not sure if I can figure it out easily.

Reasons for switching to Parallax

Weren't getting the comprehensive insight we needed from Forecast with pipeline

Thanks so much for the positive review and feedback Bill! There's definitely a lot to Parallax and we're really happy to hear you feel supported through onboarding.
