Envisio A Collaborative Project planner

The software enabled us to stay organized in our 3 year plan.

Pros

The Envisio user interface is very easy to navigate and the site itself is very responsive, even when accessing it from overseas.

Cons

The only aspect that I believe could be improved is locating the edit feature of the tasks and objectives, instead of relying on the drop down arrow.

Strategy Execution Platform that Understands Government

I am a local government consultant that has used and implemented a variety of different products within this category - ranging from sophisticated spreadsheets to full-featured platforms like Envisio. I recommend Envisio to my clients because they (1) understand my clients, their business issues, and their reporting needs; (2) the ease of use for both implementation and the end user; (3) their incredible attention to their client needs; and (4) their reasonable pricing.

Pros

Envisio's strategy execution platform has the best reporting functionality that I have seen in this sector. They've thought it through very well, striking a very good balance between flexibility and structure. Because they are focused intently on public (local government, school district, etc) organizations, Enviso meets the reporting needs of my clients extremely well.

Cons

Perhaps a bit of a con is that the platform is still evolving pretty rapidly. Don't get me wrong, this is not a beta product - it is very capable and full featured (and is being used by lots of organizations, including some very large ones). Envisio's constant push towards perfecting the platform is in full motion. If you appreciate a platform that thoughtfully considers meaningful changes, this is not an issue. If you like your software to just always work the way that you first learned it, this can be a drawback.

Envisio

Envisio has been excellent to work with . With both our Strategic Plan implementation and our Performance Evaluations, they have been happy to accommodate our special needs are necessary.

Pros

The Envisio customer service team is absolutely great. The City of Rowlett hit a few stumbling blocks at implementation of our own fault and then COVID hit. When we went back to the drawing board to set up and use the product, the Envisio team was able to take us from step one to full rollout and work directly with our team to ensure success. There were webinars and smart goal setting training. We now have a system we love that is easy for our team to use and provides us with the priorities, goals, actions and performance measures needed to track the success of our strategic plan.

Cons

I would like a more robust reporting feature. This one is a bit complicated to maneuver. A crystal report format where you can drag and drop the information you want would be excellent. I would also like a way to archive completed actions - so they are there with their updates but not crowding they system in reporting and screen space.

Easy to use, still some bugs being worked out. Great Customer support!

Overall, great experience.

Pros

- Great team, and customer service - Quick to respond to client issues - Software is easy to use

Cons

- Still some kinks or bugs being worked out - Running appropriate reports not always easy

Envisio allowed our government to keep things moving forward in a coordinated manner

I have felt supported and important as a customer with Envisio since day one. They have great customer support, provide training to help your organization fully utilize the power of the tracking and management software, and seek input from customers to improve the functions of the software. They continue to innovate and try to provide the best service to their customers.

Pros

I loved that it allowed managers to track and responded to many different goals, initiatives and action steps for a variety of different strategic objectives.

Cons

None. I love this product. It is easy to use for a variety of projects and programs. It allows for multiple different plans and it controls who can see what.
