Easy Projects Software

Being able to satisfy many different business needs by developing different configurations that are used in different portfolios of the system.

Pros

Extremely flexible. We have been able to configure the system to meet many different needs, well beyond project management.

Cons

The Guest User view is limited and is effectively the only thing that has posed a limitation on our use of the system.

Pros

Easy Projects is very intuitive and easy to use. Easy time logging and task creation. Great customer support and quick response time.

Cons

Better resource loading tool that also allows managers to do allocation leveling. Easier budget tools

Pros

I am very impressed with Easy Projects as a product, but also as a service. They all seem to have a great handle on how to work together to continually make the product better as well as treat the customer well. I highly recommend the product to others quite often. I see it as a great tool for figuring many things out.

Cons

Just like any other software, it's about getting people familiar with it. That being said they do have Interactive Guides now...

Pros

Ease of use in general. Dependencies are easy to manage and tasks can be dragged to the correct spot with ease. Customer service is great, very responsive and open to suggestions for development.

Cons

When you have multiple templates it is hard to make changes to one then apply to the same tasks in other templates. Guest portal is confusing when the user has tasks that are pending but should not be started.

Pros

Easy Projects has been living up to its name for our administrators and users. It has a simple and versatile functionality that can fit just about any of our needs. Once we identified how the product would work best for us and customized it, we were very pleased with how well we moved forward. We improved our workflow with templates, we found creative uses for existing functionality to problem solve trouble areas, and the company continues to progress with new features and product improvements. The Easy Projects team has been crucial in helping us make this product fit our needs and they have always been available with thoughtful and creative solutions. We always appreciate their responsiveness and positivity.

Cons

An initial time investment and a lot of communication with Easy Projects was required in order to mold it into the right product for our team. But, it was well worth it!

Easy Projects is a flexible tool that handles pretty much anything that you can throw at it. The development team consistently brings foward innovative new features and customer service is responsive and helpful. Easy Projects continues to be a critial component of keeping our marketing communications workflow and records keeping on track.

Pros

It is dynamic and can achieve most anything you may need of it.

Cons

It can be complicated for setup and sorting out how to achieve desired outcomes at times.

Advice to Others

Keep doing what you are doing with customer service and continue to refine for simplicity and usability.

Last year our small Company (up to 20 poeple) was looking for a simple, user-friendly and cost-justifying solution for our ongoing and upcoming projects. We have reviewed more than 20 different softwares, including comprehensive testing for some of them. At the end the winner was Easy Projects! We were satisfied and up untill now are happy to have such an easy in-use and simple tool! Special thanks to a Support Team that is promptly reacting to any of our requests ))

Pros

Easy, intuitive, has most of the necessary functionalitites, very good and quick support, wonderful video tutorials

Cons

Time to time the software works a bit slow (Response time)

Excellent product. Has all the features i need, is flexible and adapts to my needs, but remains easy to use and at an accessible price point. Am keeping this pne for the long term!

Pros

Easy to use, powerful, flexible: its rare to find all 3 in a software!

Cons

A bit slow when refreshing pages; however I have to say this has been improving recently

I have had a lot of personal success with Easy Projects and have found it lowers my stress the more I use it. I really appreciate the help I have received from Patrick Icasas and the rest of the team. I feel like Easy Projects is also trying to continually develop the product to make it better.

Pros

How many features it comes with as well as the versatility

Cons

As a result of its increased versatility, people less familiar with project management do have a steeper learning curve with it (given they are much more used to using task management tools)

We use this tool to manage all of our projects, without Easy Projects we would be a mess. Our team works in Easy Projects every day and it's easy to use, works great and we like the functionality.

Pros

Projects are easily managed, where before we used excel spreadsheets and it was a nightmare. We love how easy it is now that we use Easy Projects.

Cons

It's a great tool but learning how to use it for your company can be a bit of work and take time. Thankfully support is available.

1. Easier to manage.
2. Review the task and schedule more clearly.
3. Easier to find project and related info by using search tool.
4. Easier to see the detail schedule and the completed steps.
5. Can review all finished or will need to be finished tasks.
6. Easy to add drawing, photo and related info from Easy project email tool.
7. Easy to communication from different country or group.
8. Central control all projects.

Pros

1. See the info that I need by search related project.
2. Easy to review and easy to use.

Cons

Some times, it is not easy to find the info from related task because people still email from closed or from not related task or person who need to finish the task unless search all tasks or emails from the project.

Advice to Others

1. Remove the weekend days and only count business days for project schedule
2. Add project number on the email tool. When you search the email from Easy project, pup out the project number at same time.
3. User need only using Easy project for email. Otherwise still get info from both places "Outlook and Easy project". If missing one place, the info can be missed.
4. Since discussing, each project may have many email records, it is more easier if can be searched by key words or object to get info we need. Or auto high line the import info from Easy project email.
5. Easy project should not alloy email from closed task. So person can use new related task to send info. Otherwise it is easy to be missed or more difficult to be found.

Overall I like it and enjoy using it. The main issue I have is that there's no way to keep notifications as "unread" if I want to come back to them later. Also, I would like to be able to have a filter for all unread messages related to my projects. Those would be some nice add ons.

Pros

I like the project layout and easy gantt view. The way we log hours is nice. I like being able to assign tasks with minimal effort. Makes my job easier.

Cons

Same as above. The main issue I have is that there's no way to keep notifications as "unread" if I want to come back to them later. Also, I would like to be able to have a filter for all unread messages related to my projects. Those would be some nice add ons. If I try to export comments or a report from a certain date period I can't filter it. That would be nice. I came back from vacation and tried to get caught up on my tasks so I filtered my notifications and exported them, but it didn't help because I couldn't filter them or arrange them differently.

Advice to Others

I like the way that the guest portal is setup to receive notifications. If that could be incorporated into the regular software it would be nice.

The program has been very easy to incorporate with our current data/projects that are being worked on.

Pros

How easy it is to create and manage projects.

Cons

How you are not able to see the last comments on the main layout screen. You have to click on comments/attachments to see them.

I have used versions of Easy Project for several years, very impressed how the program keeps improving. We went from an older version hosted on our internal server to the cloud based version which gives us constant updates as well as the importance of backing up our data.

Pros

This is a great software system to track projects and tasks as well as keeping communication open with team members.

Cons

The screens could have more contrast to make them easier to read.

Advice to Others

not at this time.

EP is user friendly, easy to maneuver and our customer support representative has been very helpful and extremely timely in his response. We use EP not only for billing purposes but for project tracking and management. We would highly recommend EP.

Pros

User friendly. Formatted nicely. Lots of great functions.

We have just begun to use Easy Projects, but the support has been fantastic. Patrick has been available for one on one support with me as I set Easy Projects up in our organization. We are pleased with Easy Projects so far, and we're excited about the efficiencies it will bring to our department.

Easy project is a really nice tool for the project manager. If you are a MS Project user it takes most of the best items from that tool and makes them upfront and easy to use.

There are a few features that could use some work such as the templates and some of the dependency relationship functionality. It would also be helpful if the tool integrated into other tools.

We needed to stop using surveys to capture creative requests for stakeholders. Easy Projects was inexpensive and easy to teach. I have not used it for true project management so cannot speak to it.

I am a long term user of Easy Projects because I've always appreciated it's ideal balance between simplicity and sophistication for project management. When I changed companies recently I chose to use Easy Projects again, as my preferred project management tool. The team at EP was great in working with me to get quickly set up with the right package for my new business. Thanks!

Very flexible and lot of capabilities to adapt to each user.
Very user friendly.
All inclusive solution!
Good support!
