Easy Projects Software

Pros

I like the amount of detailed information and the way it's all presented. It seems to be very helpful.

Cons

As with most things, what I like the least about this software is paying for it, haha. But in this case I think it's worth it.

We are able to manage numerous projects that are occurring simultaneously within our team and across the department.

Pros

I like the ability to filter the information, and the ability to view in either Gantt or List view.

Cons

Kanban view is not very functional, no option for color coding projects/tasks other than the "Health" meter. I would love to see a Kanban view that is similar to a Trello or Jira format.

Pros

Our Easy Projects software helps us keep our team of 200 on the same page. We are able to work seamlessly in the tool to ensure flawless execution of all tasks. I like that we can customize the notifications of tasks. I see every update made to every task, which means I get dozens of notifications every hour. However, by customizing my notifications, I can get a recap every hour that I quickly review for anything I need to look at. I also like the tagging feature, which allows me to know if anything needs my immediate attention instead of being seen an hour later.

Cons

There seems to be a bit of glitching regularly occurring. I have to refresh frequently. I also don't like that I can't view my tasks in a side bar, but rather have to go to a separate page.

Pros

The ease of learning to use the software was great. It only took one short session and we were already setting up team projects.

Cons

Dashboard a little confusing at first. Some additional clean up could be helpful to make it clearer and more concise.

Pros

Easy Projects is so incredibly easy to use and the company really loves feedback on how to improve. That is something I can appreciate as my company strives for continuous improvement.

Cons

It's hard to explain. On the Activity Center page, you have all your projects up. When you open a project, the whole thing will open. Id like for it to open to all your main points but not all the subs.

Pros

I am able to gain easy insight into my team's workload and their project's progress. It has improved our workflows and visibility tremendously!

Cons

The software has great value for its cost. However, that means some functionalities that I'd like to see are not available. For example, I'd like to see an audit trail on notifications and for custom reports to be automatically emailed.

Pros

Email updates for all comments/uploads etc. Every time a change is made I get an email with the details.

Cons

Lack of text formatting makes it hard to indicate revisions in my feedback to the rest of the team.

Pros

Organise my projects and tasks for multiple projects. Helps keep project budgets visible and keeps the team accountable.

Cons

I find the layout a bit clunky in some area's but recent improvements have helped with a few of those. Overall a great software.

Pros

The software is very easy to use and visually appealing. I like the Resource Reports so I can easily identify over allocation.

Cons

There is no ability WITHIN the software to connect dependencies between projects. There is no undo button.

Pros

Reminders feature is helpful. The ability to change which project are shown and it is nice to be able to select the start page based on my usage.

Cons

Gantt chart not that helpful to use but is a necessary feature. I was glad they added it but it requires a lot of field customization and maintenance.

Ease of daily updating and maintenance

Pros

Ease of updating and defining tasks and dependencies. Back-scheduling from fixed due dates is a snap. Easy to what-if.

Cons

I haven't found anything substantial I don't like. That said, it is difficult at times to see all dependencies on a small tablet. A large monitor is the preferred setup, but that doesn't work for people with bifocal glasses. :-)

Pros

Readability of project. I like how I can see from the homepage the deadlines that are coming up. I also like the notifications.

Cons

Too many notifications. Although I know I can turn off the notification in the system, there is a large amount of unnecessary notifications.

The fact that I could receive customer support and recitify my issues on a Sunday is the proof in the pudding. The Company offers a service and truly backs up their claim of being a top rated support role application in a support function! Well done!!

Pros

The fact that I could log in on a weekend with an issue, enter my problem with an easy to use interface and received a reply back in a very short time. After receiving notification my issue was received it did not take long at all to get the issue corrected so we could resume business as usual. This level of customer support is a must have for any company, no matter their application.

Cons

I really cannot think of a con, outside of maybe the issues being handled internally in liue of externally. That said, I am a believer that the support outweighs wanting to keep our business interally, well done and not an issue of being labeled a "con".

Tracking completion of projects and what tasks are next up and what schedules are flexing or changing based on circumstances.

Pros

This program makes it easy to access your assignments and sort them by completion date or project which is a nice feature!

Cons

The program seems to be better suited to logging in hours to a task in order to track progress instead of just completion or even completion stages. As an engineer it is difficult to accurately schedule hours to complete a task so this feature is not very helpful for me.

Pros

We use this software for our daily scheduling of projects & tasks. It's very helpful, easy to use and effective to track all the activities.

Cons

Other than admin, normal users (without admin rights) are not able to see the results, tasks assigned, tasks iscomp/notcomp, overall monthly reports, etc. Users should be able to at least read/see them.

It is keep me on track and updated info

Pros

It is easier for me to keep track some of my task, due date, time spending for the managament project.

Cons

The function and apperance of the software still is have a little difficult for new member to use it efficiently.

Pros

It is very helpful tracking time and projects. I like how you can quickly make additional tasks under each project. Easy Projects has made managing tasks much easier for me.

Cons

Undo option is difficult. I don't like how once I close a task it will not let me recover it. I can't undo a closed tasked.

Pros

I like that every person on the team can communicate directly within the program, eliminating the need for long email chains. My favorite feature used to be the layout of the My Assignments page before it became more of a to-do list. I liked being able to see what other people had commented and what other members were on a project with me. I also like that you can customize views in the Activity Center. It makes checking workload across a team very easy! I will also say that I think it's neat that you offer webinars to go over new features. I haven't been able to watch any of them, but one day I hope to catch up and see all the features I'm missing out on! lol

Cons

I really miss the old My Assignments view :( Other than that, I'd say that it's the perfect project management software!

Pros

I like how easy it is to use the software and how intuitive the prompts are. I feel that I can easily explain what I am trying to get done without worry.

Cons

I truthfully don't dislike anything about the software. I am a fairly new user so of my projects, I have had amazing experiences!

Collaboration with projects, who is involved, timelines

Pros

Easy to add tasks and sub-tasks. Easy to see gantt charts. Easy to add attachments and update titles and descriptions.

Cons

Not enough abilities to see the data in different ways...the way I need for different purposes. Not easy to distinguish between meetings and tasks.
