Good support for complex projects

Pros

All the project components for both activities, budget and participants

Cons

Integration of the Gant card is not optimal

Customer support

´The Support provided by developers and Consultants could get from me 5 stars. However, the Commercial part is very weak. Simple questions related to Commercial things takes sometimes over 2 months to be answered although we pay an extra value for higher Quality.

Pros

Structure to manage projects

Cons

Instability, Performance, too many bugs, functions which does not work, etc.

Use it since one year now!

It's a good product, with real powerful features regarding PPM needs. Just need to evolve regarding the ergonomy, and the accessibility, no real mobile client!

Pros

Powerful features for project management

Cons

Old fashioned, not the kind of software we can expect in 2016 regarding the ergonomy and accessibility, no real mobile application. Interface heavy when you navigate.

Genius Project - PM Tool

Evaluated Genius as an option for implementing a new PM tool enterprise wide. Spent a month using the tool to consider its fit for business need and ease of use for an organisation that has immature PM standards.

Pros

Easy to setup. Simple to learn / quite intuitive. Fits with an immature PM culture where people have little / poor PM experience. Does the basics of project management well. Company are easy to deal with.

Cons

Generally a good product . Just lacks a little on the portfolio side (requires a better interface and more reporting to sell portfolio management on accepting the tool).

Genius in Brazil

We are using Genius about 5years, the software is very useful and you can manage your portfolio easily. In my point of view, Genius need to find a way to turn faster to access datas in the cloud, in Brazil some regions don't have high speed internet letting people upseted because the time to update the infos.

a tremendous software to use and very politely use all the level person.

it's quite easy to learn for new person to learn this software. All the sections and sub-sections of this software have great functionality and the software is compatible with all versions of windows. even any person can run this software easily.

Pros

all functions edit ability of all points with given exact time period

Cons

not give proper valuation of price with actual data edited.

Dir of Project Management

Good overall app, many feature so it makes it a little complicated to do easy stuff. Support is sometimes great and sometimes so-so. Overall if you do heavy project management this is a good system.

Excellent software

Our small company found this software to be a vital tool in our daily operations. Its interface is easy to use and is perfect for small teams to collaborate. Assigning tasks to people is easy and we are getting a lot more done since we started using Genius Project software.

Pros

The interface is easy to use once you get used to it.

Cons

There's a bit of a learning curve when you first start out.

Very intuitive

I have seen many Project Management tools. Genius Project surpasses most. I have used Jira and they are excellent but it is extremely expensive. Genius Project is excellent for small to medium company. The product it self descriptive and easy to learn.

Pros

excellent product. Very intuitive

Cons

None

Experience with GeniusProject

My company wanted an easy to use project management application for supporting Prince2. The demonstration made by the genius team convinced us that this software could support our company business. Unfortunately, the experience we have done shown tap GeniusProject is very complex to configure, not user friendly at all and complex to use. Therefore we decided to stop using GeniusProject and come back to excel document.

Pros

The amount of functionalities

Cons

The complexity of configuration, the user interface that is not user fondly, the amount of small bugs that annoy the user and the lack of integration between the configuration menus.

Interresting tool

Using this for PPM processes. Including some gantts fonctions. Everything was quite ok so far. Upgrade was done in our test environment.

Genius PM review

I used the product for the 1st time because it was in use at a new company I joined. I had previously used MS Project. I liked that the Genius product was a SAAS solution, but it missed the integration I was used to in MS Project.

Pros

SAAS with access for team members

Cons

Lack of integration with SharePoint

Genius project in Canada

Reporting feature and working with aggregated project data is a challenge in Genius Project. Reports need customization above the iff-the-shelf features along with an in-house Genius admin resource to develop/customize reporting.

Pros

User interface

Cons

Not robust to capture detailed project data.

Robust project management software

Provides a robust way to keep track of project, ideas, and manage resources; however, working in higher ed, we were looking for more of a ticketing solution. For an independent marketing/advertising firm, this would be a great tool to utilize with access to reports and dashboards to gain insight to projects and their statuses.

Pros

Reporting, dashboard, project outlook

Cons

We wanted a ticketing solution that would integrate and can then assign projects to an employee.

The layout and presentation of the projects are very fine, easy to find require information

Its very easy for me get current status of project and also I can find the past report of a task and project.

Pros

The features I like the most are gantt charts and projects portfolio management and invoicing is also a vital part of an organization.

Cons

As for now, there is no such feature Iike least in this project management system. However, the help desk section by displaying important things on the top

Trialed this software: Impressed but overpriced

I trialed Genius Project to see if it could meet my company's needs for project management for our new product development. Overall I was impressed with what the software could do, how helpful the CS was and how it could integrate with other software we already have. That said, as a small business with somewhat limited needs on the project management front this was too expensive for us to move forward with. Bottom Line: If all you do it Project Management it is probably worth the money no matter your company size, if it is a part-time thing, look for cheaper alternatives.

Pros

Functionality and ease of use

Cons

Price and sometimes too many options/functions for relatively inexperienced project managers.

A good way to maintain communication with your team members

With Genius Project it is so easy to find the perfect person for a specific function because you can filter your search by factors such as experience, skills and availability. You will receive a reduced list of candidates and you can make the final selection. Genius Project is also a good way to maintain communication with your team members. Since we use Genius Project everyone is involved in the project and is able to stay in touch from any computer or mobile device. Most of this web based online project management system is intuitive but a little bit difficult to navigate. But once you are familiarized with all the features and tools it is a well-rounded application.

Pros

Genius Project gives you the possibility to set automatic email updates to notify users regarding any changes

Cons

It took me some time to understand the navigation toolbar

Had a chance to run with this in previous job at panasonic

I had certainly expected it to be buggy as with most notes backend, It did prove me wrong. I found the CRM portion quite useful and would have appreciated more homogeneity with other notes based PM software but given an opportunity I would roll it the red carpet in my current organization as well. Hope and wish that it stands up to big players like Salesforce and Peregrine.

Diane's take

I was impressed from the first time I used this application. I am an avid user of all project management software as I've managed PMOs throughout my 25 year professional career. The application is end-user friendly and the navigation is not complex so easy to learn.

Pros

ease of use, affordable, simple infrastructure to understand

Cons

perhaps develop the next layer of bells and whistles to further enhance this product.

Works Well, But Not For Me

This application works well for what it is. It just wasn't what our team was looking for. We needed more of a task management tool (less project management), that allowed for flexibility in custom fields and linking tasks across projects.

Very simple interface with limited reporting capabilities

Pros

User Interface has a good design and the steps to update project plans make sense in the workflow. It is not difficult to learn.

Cons

Not easy to update project plans, system response time is a bit slow. It is not intuitive to understand how projects are linked together, or find out which resources are working on what project.

Loving this handy piece of software

I have been using Genius Project for the last couple of months and it has been really useful and helpful in my day to day hectic life.

Pros

Easy to use, nice design

Cons

none

Useful tool

Easy to start using, little bit lacking on information on how to do the more advanced stuff. Would be handy to have more case studies and concrete examples on how to use.

Pros

Mobile app and rest services

Cons

can be complicated to use if not informed enough

good project manager but don't expect good support for their bugs

the solution itself is complete and offer a lot of possibilities. However, the cost for their support is very high which may be a counter to the possibilities it offer

Genius

In my experience it is quite a simple program to use and isn’t cluttered which makes it good in my opinion. Too much going on is a bad thing and this is the opposite

Pros

Ease of use and accessibility, simplicity

Cons

Nothing off the top of my head, I haven’t had any issues

Genius review of Mine

As one of the 2 Genius admins for my company I found Genius to be a useful tool. I liked being able to customize the reports and email notifications.

Pros

Very customizable reports

Cons

Missing a few pieces we needed, but we worked around it.

School experience

When I was researching for my school project about the project management software, I listed out genius project as one of the top software and reached out to them, tried the demo and listed the pros, cons which was very helpful for the school project.

Pros

User friendly interface

Cons

pricing

Great Software

Helped us get our workflow on the right path! Also, brought together many different departments into one seamless system. Our teams production has increased dramatically. Give this software a try! You and your team will be glad that you did.

Great Product

Good software for managing projects at an enterprise level. User experience could use some updates that would help for ease of use.

Held My Attention Long Enough to Make a Difference

I have a postgraduate diploma in project management and I have struggled to find software that could interest me longer than 2 minutes. Genius is about the first that meets my needs and is user friendly. If any software can hold me as long as Genius has done I know it has to be good. The age of plowing through clunky and hard to engage with stuff is over.

Pros

Ease

Great product, just can't afford it

I tried Genius and liked it but my company could not afford it. It had Gantt charts and everything else I was looking for.

Sleek and Useful

Capterra has a really nice user interface that makes the work feel seamless and a bit closer to using a social media site. The biggest qualms is pricing for the product but if you can get around that then it's a great product.

Genius project forward

seems continuous improvement oriented - how does this tie to other off the shelf s/w applications to enrich the user experience and outcomes

Decent software - lots of features

This tool has a lot of abilities and features. It has some good integrations as well but the UI isn't very attractive, to me at least.

Great Product!!!

This product has been very helpful, and Customer Service has been as well. Very easy to use and navigate. There are lots of features and the functionality has really made life easier.

Does what it's supposed to

Top-notch product that delivers on what it says it will do. Hopefully more add-ins are to come to enhance functionality even further

Expensive but feature rich

We ended up not staying with this product and choosing an alternative, but from an IT perspective this product was the top of the line. Feature rich, customizable, easy to navigate and read.

Pretty Darn Good

Genius Project is the most powerful project management software I've used to date. I use it for project selection, planning, staffing, execution and tracking.

Impressed

I was impressed by this product. It definitely is worth investing in. As a project manager, I'm always looking for ways to streamline processes, communicate efficiently with my project team, etc.

Great project manager

Genius project is a great project manager, very complete and usefull. This product is not dedicated for small enterprise but if your manage a midlle or more society, this tools is very cool !

Excelente sw

It is not only a powerful project management software but also provides customers with project management best practices

Review of Application

Decent product but not overly user friendly at times. Could use some better user testing for more "real world" applications.

Genius Project Review

Great product with intuitive feature improvement. Whenever we wished to roll out a new feature the support was extremely helpful.

Idea good, potential for improving functionality

Hello, we are using Genius now for more than 4 years. The support is good an the people are helpful. But the range of functions is limited at some point. And sometimes I wonder, how functions are implemented. The use is not always that intuitive and they are not always implemented consequently to the end (ex.: connections between tasks and assignments). But the new planner has potential. Greetings

Pros

The new HTML5 Planner.

Cons

Inflexibility regarding customer adaptations.

Great piece of software

Good software. Great customer support. Relatively easy to use. I would love to recommend it to everyone. Great productivity enhancer.

Genius works for project tracking

Using Genius to track project request through work tasks provides time reporting and project status.

Solid software for project management

In the pursuit for the solid project management software, Genius project comes to our shortlist and it proves to be a very robust one. Recommend for those seeking for one.
