ProjectManager.com reviews

Projectmanager.com

Opmerkingen: ProjectManager.com lets you keeps a tab on the progress of your projects and tasks online in real time by looking to its dashboard.

Pluspunten:

Projectmanager.com is a robust SaaS platform for business management and collaborating teams. Its biggest highlight is its dashboard which is extremely customizable and keeps a track of project progress, team communications and tentative project plans, which lets you grasp the whole scenario in a few moments. Being a web based software, you can access it from anywhere and on any device provided you have internet connectivity.

Minpunten:

Projectmanager.com has a few bugs that prevent you from using the software to its full extent. Apart from this, it requires lengthy and manual inout operations such as entering data and allocating resources to projects, which makes it time consuming and requires automation. Also the customer service needs to be more active and helpful.

Manage big and small projects

Pluspunten:

ProjectManager works very well with both large and small-scale projects. Being able to use this with anything from a project involving only two members of staff, to hundreds, has been invaluable. Creating a project plan is fast and easy, allowing a huge amount of detail and variables to be added to the plan. Their new(ish) user interface is also a welcome change, looking much cleaner and easier to navigate. It also works well on mobile devices.

Minpunten:

The initial learning curve was quite steep, taking myself a number of days before I was fully used to the various features available, and how to use them. The previous user-interface was really quite bad, but this has of course been fixed in their latest release! The reporting functionality could really be improved, the views it offers are rather limited and don't show all the detail.

WARNING

Pluspunten:

Nothing. It looks good and you feel like you have found a good software, but beware. They are just manipulating you to take your money!

Minpunten:

WARNING Do not interact with this company in any way. They will scam you as soon as they can. They lure you into a free trial of 30 days. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to implement a new project management tool for any business within 30 days. They are nice when you ask them to prolong the trial and you get the impression that you can in your own pace try the software and adapt it to your own business, which is what you want of course. They seems serious, their software seems really good, But it is all fake. All of a sudden you find out that there of course are som "hidden terms" which gives them the right to charge you for a whole year. They charged me for 500 dollars(!!!), and when I found out about this, this nice guys [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who really was helpful in the beginning suddenly vanished (?). He is no longer answering any mails and there is no way to get in contact with him. You can still contact their customer service, who is not doing anything else than refer to the terms, of course. THIS IS THE WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. It is a scam and I sincerely warn everyone out there not to fall for their nonsens!

A Great Task Manager for Small Teams

Opmerkingen: We are a small network of graduate researchers. ProjectManager.com reports have given all of us a solid schema for the rigorous data collection expectations for our lab studies.

Pluspunten:

ProjectManager.com use enables consistent time management of events & tasks when acclimating new team members to performance expectations.

Minpunten:

ProjectManager.com report customizations & forecasts are limited. In addition, we have had some international interface issues.

easy to use, great customer service and very useful !

Opmerkingen: have been using projectmanager,com for managing personal projects, it has been very useful to me,

Pluspunten:

found projectmanager.com to be better than MS project; more than an alternative.It has great team collaboration and can be accessed anywhere . The user interface is very simple . very easy to use with very useful features.

Minpunten:

price could be more affordable, could launch some offers for users. forecasting features could be built into the system and report generation could be improved.

ProjectManager.com Software Package

Opmerkingen: I have a civil construction consulting small business that I work on during the weekends and I recently signed a free trial software package to utilize the project scheduling ghantt chart tool. Although I only had the opportunity to use it once it met my expectations. It was the same as using MPP but online rather than fixed on one computer!
Packages pricing are for total number of people listed with $X per user per month. For example Business package is 20 users with $15 per user; therefore, one must pay the complete 20 X $15= $300 per month once the trial expires. You don't become charged for individual users start dates, and you can chose packages as little as 1 user.

Pluspunten:

Can log into software on any computer as long as you have a login and password. It has a good scheduling tool. A lot of Project Management templates to choose from.

Minpunten:

There is no notification prior to your 30 day trial expiration and if you forget to cancel you automatically enroll into a contract and payments will be billed each month. An emailed consolidated contract agreement would be beneficial once user automatically enrolled following trial expiration.

Eureka - It's All Together

Pluspunten:

We used to managed our projects, resources, and and reporting in different systems. Enter ProjectManager. We have consolidated systems and work more efficiently. Since we've transitioned over I'd say ProjectManager is open on my computer every day. I would highly recommend to all looking for a new way to handle project management and time keeping.

Minpunten:

File size is limited when uploading documents, printing is awkward to edit and format, limited styling options when saving plans to PDF.

WATCH OUT! Deceptive billing practices

Opmerkingen: Not much over other project managers.

Pluspunten:

Software is web based so there is no local copy. It seems to work well and is fairly easy to use. Just too bad their business practices are sketchy.

Minpunten:

Deceptive billing. They say on their website that the Team version cost per month per user. But 5 days after the trial we received a charge. This company does not take phone calls and does not allow partial refunds. Don't deal with this company.

Most Excellent PM App

Opmerkingen: This app is awesome...well worth any penny to purchase. This app is useful for PMs to stay on top of their work. I've been a ProjectManager.com fan for a couple years now and would recommend any/all of their products.

Pluspunten:

Very economical and easy to use

Minpunten:

Not 100% free, but hey people have to make a living

Great solution for a project manager

Pluspunten:

Have all the tools you need to successfully monitor and control a project.

Minpunten:

Basic version is very limited. Price is a bit high.

PMO Director

Pluspunten:

ProjectManager.com or PM.com as we call it is very easy to use, we were able to get up and running in a very short amount of time. We have approximately 300 projects that we are managing and about 70 resources. Before PM.com we managed our projects in one system our resources in another system and our reporting from yet another system. We have been able to consolidate systems and are able to more efficiently track our projects, backlog, risks and issues. The Workload board showing the resources availability allows us to see who is available at a glance. PM.com is opened on my computer every day all day, I could NOT do my job without it. The support team and the product team are great to work with, they have a place to put in suggestions for new features and I am happy to say they have added several of my suggestions. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new system to handle their Portfolio and Project Management offices.

Minpunten:

There are a few features that do not work as well as I would like but I am hoping they will be updated in the near future. One area is the linking of tasks and easily being able to see the effects on the plan. MS Project does a great job of highlighting the changes. Some of the reports could use some additional filters but they have been adding to that. Overall the Pros far outweigh any of the Cons.

BEWARE: Misleading Marketing

Opmerkingen: Great platform and very easy to use. Sadly the deceptive marketing and appalling customer service left a bitter taste in my mouth and I would not recommend it to anyone. Unless of course you have read through ALL the fine print and are happy with the terms and conditions.

Pluspunten:

Overall a great platform that is user friendly and quick to learn. Being able to easily share projects and monitor timelines with team members is a big plus.

Minpunten:

Like some other prospective customers I was lured into downloading the free trial based on very deceptive marketing. You are forced to sign up for a subscription in order to download the free trial. If you do not cancel the subscription before your free trial ends you are automatically billed for the maximum number of licences on the edition you've selected. With a no-return policy I asked for a credit and my subscription to be changed to the personal edition. They gladly changed my subscription but said nothing about a credit. When I enquired I was informed that I would be billed again for the new month. I'm appalled at the way they mislead. Expensive lesson learnt on my side.

Project Manager made my life a lot easier

Opmerkingen: This software has given me the opportunity to add more projects to my calendar. It lays everything out so orderly and convenient. Yhe way it helps me track the progress, flow, scheduling ,etc of each project is a dream.

Pluspunten:

It made my projects and managing them a lot quicker.

Minpunten:

I really liked all the features about this software. They all worked together to make managing my projects so much simpler and take so much less time.

An Essential Tool for Project Managers

Opmerkingen: Project Manager has enables us to massively improve the way we manage both internal and customer projects. The system is easy to use and the reporting has been invaluable. The support team have always been quick to respond and were particularly helpful in the early stages. Highly recommended.

Pluspunten:

Easy of use, intuitive interface, reporting capabilities

Awful

Pluspunten:

Works from time to time, it has received functionality and UI updates over the time, still somehow it's usable at the end of the day.

Minpunten:

Everything is broken, I think that you should try to use it inside your company on a daily basis to quickly spot how time you spend in simple tasks like: - Moving rows - Adjusting dates - Finding and correcting deleted timesheet entries - Having read-only projects is impossible - History of changes and who, along with historic undo is impossible - Reports take ages to generate - Random downtimes or error 500 messages

Great For Beginners

Opmerkingen: For a beginner in project management, it's just awesome, simple, visually appealing and the name says it all

Pluspunten:

I love the dashboard feature. A single screen high level snapshot of the whole project makes life so much easier when you're administrating so many multi-million dollar projects across so many stakeholders and platforms.

Minpunten:

The negative reviews i see on customer service dated back in 2017. I hope the 2022 version took all that into consideration

Workwear Group

Opmerkingen: We set up templates for different kind of projects, it easy to add or delete tasks accordingly, project manager has help me be more aware of the project status to keep more or less on track and to write notes around tasks, manage expenses and invoicing, functions that are so valuable when writing reports and closing.

Pluspunten:

Ring menu and icons are easy to identify, customising columns practical overall not overly complex.

Minpunten:

I haven't found anything i dislike, though i'm not using every function available.

Good start, needs some tweaks

Pluspunten:

Similarity to other scheduling software.

Minpunten:

There doesn't seem to be any simple way to track and update partially complete tasks that updates the planned hours. Example - someone that is working on a task is scheduled for 10 hours, but the overall task duration will cover two weeks. If they complete their work on in part early on day one, say 8 hours of it, you can update the percent complete to 80% but the distribution of workload for the remainder of the schedule doesn't reduce the hours left in the task. This distorts the actual workload for that person until the project is complete showing more work than is actually left. The reverse is also true where they may not start on a project until late in the duration. Frustrating for very large projects with multiple tasks and assignments. Very time consuming to update.

Nice software

Pluspunten:

It's very easy to use, specially being a web solution. Very interactive and funcional. The dashboards are the most functional for me

Minpunten:

I don't like how we can manage the timesheets, usually a bug appears or it freezes. It really botters me!

ProjectManager.com has made my project management life super easy!

Pluspunten:

The interface is very user friendly and clean. It contains the right amount of information needed to ensure successful project management.

Minpunten:

We need a way to switch out assigned resources (while maintaining the required effort) instead of doing it manually. This adds unnecessary time to project plan building when you have to stop to change the resources on every. single. line. Also, if there was a way to allow more than 2/3 project tabs to shown at the top of the screen, that would be great.

Lean project planning and reporting tool

Opmerkingen: A great tool for lean or just enough planning and reporting of small to medium to large projects. Easy for project teams to onboard with minimal change management issues.

Pluspunten:

Simple and easy to use

Minpunten:

Reporting module is not robust.

Excellent Project manager.com

Pluspunten:

I really love this software, it helps a lot in terms of reporting and updating of my tasks. Easy to use and very effective in planning.

Minpunten:

I can't see any negative in this product. This is very perfect in making a schedule but there's always a room for improvement.

Easy track Project Manager.com

Pluspunten:

I can easily track and update my project using this software. Very helpful to my team to plot the activities and compute the cost of the project.

Minpunten:

So far, No negative feedback about this software because this is very effective to my organization.

Absolutely the Best!

Opmerkingen: I cannot say enough about how great projectmanager.com has been for us. It has enabled us to organize our projects, provide a central repository for documents, and the portfolio dashboard is top notch. It has resource allocation, workload, roadmaps, and budgeting. There are a lot of customization options, which also flow through to their reports. It has given us the ability to provide management and project teams real-time access to projects instead of us preparing reports, a real timesaver. The support and training teams are extremely responsive and there is a broad knowledge base in their support portal. They are also very interest in customer feedback and enhancement requests. The PMO team is very happy with the product.

Pluspunten:

The ability to manage all my projects individually and as a portfolio (dashboards are great).

Minpunten:

There is nothing that really do not like, I would like to see some enhancements to make the product work every better.

Survey 1-12-2020

Opmerkingen: Critical Path Scheduling.

Pluspunten:

Have not really used anything on this program other than Ghant Chart. Still working out kinds in it, see below.

Minpunten:

Printing the Ghant Chart legibly is taxing. It takes a lot of trial and error and back and forth to print and be able to read without having to print on 11x17 sized paper. Even when printed that large, sometimes you cannot get all items on the chart to fill the page as needed. I have talked with your IT previous and was told they are working on this. This is our main reason for using this program is for the critical path linked scheduling software.
