Celoxis

Guiding Celoxis Through Project Success

Opmerkingen: Overall, a lot of consumers like Celoxis because of its extensive feature set, adaptability, and integration potential.

Pluspunten:

It emphasizes good collaboration between stakeholders and team members which helps to streamline their projects and resources. Our project completion rates have improved by 20% and we achieved more profit.

Minpunten:

Having a comprehensive view of all project operations is beneficial since it makes sure that nothing is missed and that we stay on track to achieve our strategic goals.

Consolidated Project management for Consulting and Solutions firm

Opmerkingen: It is very good, from my [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] perspective and PMO, it is fantastic to have the whole information of our projects online and with consolidated resources reports and the Gantt is very nice, much better than Microsoft Project.

Pluspunten:

Easy of use of the Gantt and Work Load, even if some other things are not really UX friendly or intuitive...

Minpunten:

Sometimes is not clear how to perform some tasks, Customer service is very straight and I feel they do not listen to the customer needs on specific issues, then they reply very plain.

Celoxis review

Opmerkingen: see above

Pluspunten:

There are lots of customizations you can make, however it's not as useful as it could be because the AND logic in the database.

Minpunten:

1. The fact that the database filters use AND logic, this makes a lot of the filters useless as they filter out data you wouldn't expect to filter out. 2. you can't split peoples time on a task to not be uniform over the entire task, this means you need multiple lines, which is clunky 3. you can't add one person as a % of time to a task and another as #hrs 4. on a project that is 9 months long the schedule reads "at risk" because it's projected to go 22 hours over. The threshold should be larger! 5. because of the AND logic, I would NOT recommend this tool to a larger team 6. There isn't any customization around the expenses

A great full-featured project management tool

Pluspunten:

Celoxis checks all the boxes for engineering project management for me. Prior to Celoxis, we used Microsoft Project: Celoxis incorporates the advanced features of Project in cloud-based tool that provides team collaboration and scheduling that we could not get with Project or most other cloud-based scheduling tools.

Minpunten:

With great options can come a great (big) learning curve: there are so many features in Celoxis, setting up individuals, teams, groups, and roles is critical for a successful launch, and this can be a bit daunting at first glance. However, the Celoxis team did a great job pre-sales of walking us through the tool and it's features, as well as scheduling training for our team post-sales to get up and running in the tool.

Eerder overwogen alternatieven: LiquidPlanner, OpenProject, monday.com en Forecast

Redenen om voor Celoxis te kiezen: Our prior tool did not understand resource management and loading, and had no plans to add those features. It also did not support advanced predecessor conditions (T+/- the start or finish of other tasks, etc.) This caused us to use Microsoft Project to get an accurate schedule, then manually enter the project (or project updates) in the cloud-based tool, for collaboration and tracking. This was just too cumbersome.

Overgestapt van: TeamGantt

Redenen om over te stappen op Celoxis: While some of the alternative products may have been on par with Celoxis in both price point and feature set, Celoxis that their team presented the best solution and on-boarding experience, and we felt Celoxis would be our fastest way to get up-and-running with the project management capability we needed.

Great tool with many features

Opmerkingen: My company started using it but never took advantage of it's full potential. People didn't adopt it well and we ended up giving up and moving to another product.

Pluspunten:

It includes many features like: Task manager, Cost tracking, Resource Tracking. You can calculate allocation of resources, build reports etc.

Minpunten:

It's kind of complicated to learn how everything works at the beginning.

Celoxis - "streamlines project management"

Opmerkingen: I really like the user experience with celoxis being a consumer it has benefitted my organisation a lot in terms of productivity.
We are almost a daily user of tuskr and saw some significant changes in streamlining the management process.
So Thank You CELOXIS for this!

Pluspunten:

I really like the dashboards offered by celoxis for streamlining the IT industry as well as i really like the use case of tuskr for test case management

Minpunten:

I didn't find anything about disliking celoxis

good project management tool - Celoxis

Opmerkingen: I use it everyday to log my time and view the projects progress

Pluspunten:

the Gantt chart is very useful to track projects and to log activities

Minpunten:

the workload is slightly difficult to work around

Celoxis Review

Opmerkingen: It is a good project management tool for us to start with. Hopefully we will implement additional features in order to take advantage of the full product

Pluspunten:

There is good overall visibility on resources

Minpunten:

It is not possible to make some fields mandatory

Highly Ranked software !

Opmerkingen: Celoxis is a smart Project Management Software.Our company growth rate increses day by day.

Pluspunten:

We have been using Celoxis for the last 5 months. Celoxis has helped us a lot in managing any task and collaborations with team members of our company. With its drag-and-drop button feature, we can easily integrate it with another features. We can view different tasks with the Gantt feature and manage tasks with the calendar view.

Minpunten:

This is good software and we did not face any issues with it. Its customer support team has also cleared all our doubts.

Easy to use

Pluspunten:

Easy to use. Better than previous solution.

Minpunten:

Some filters just seem to disappear. Unsure how to save/keep filters.

Flexible PM / PPM with great reporting and projection

Pluspunten:

Project and portfolio orientation Flexible and powerful reporting offering many ways of customizing product, including dashboards Simple yet useful script-based formulas usable in custom fields and thus in reporting Privileges management and data easy segmentation Very well structured and useful API Global search Very reactive and efficient support team

Minpunten:

Custom fields configurability in GUI is very limitated Navigation could be improved in some cases by adding more bridges between modules

Redenen om over te stappen op Celoxis: All reviewed solutions had pros and cons. Celoxis was the one to tick all must-have checkboxes at a reasonable price per user, with a limited list of drawbacks.

Great tool to manage multiple projects

Opmerkingen: Really visual tool to report task and projects. I would add a customization or adaptation for Agile Metholodogy

Pluspunten:

The easy way to report your advances in tasks and projects.

Minpunten:

I would adapt the tool to report small tasks, as my company uses in Agile projects

Eerder overwogen alternatieven: Trello en Microsoft Project

Redenen om over te stappen op Celoxis: It was a corporative tool, the i did not decide. Anyway i think it is a great app

Celoxis for project Portfolio Management

Opmerkingen: We were looked after during pre purchase, demo'd to without any pressure to purchase
Support is incredibly quick and useful

Pluspunten:

It was easy to set up and configurable to our needs Liked that % complete could be independent from time logged Great scheduling and resourcing Client portal easy to use and gives us exactly what we needed

Minpunten:

Would be good if we could add a custom field to a discussion for sorting purposes and also control the notifications that go to customers. Suggested both to Celoxis and they have added as a feature request

Overgestapt van: Azure DevOps Services

Redenen om over te stappen op Celoxis: We looked at lots of alternatives as we have very specific needs. Celoxis was the only one that met them all

Great software for project oriented firms that invoice for services

Opmerkingen: Very positive. We are just rolling it out now to all our staff, and we're really looking forward to gaining the real benefits.

Pluspunten:

Celoxis is a powerful project management software that is replacing MS Project in our organization, allowing us to get a portfolio view of many projects managed by multiple PMs. But best of all, our resources can enter their timesheets within Celoxis. This allows us to eliminate one piece of software and run analytics to learn about our performance and drive improvements.

Minpunten:

It was tricky to setup. We needed the help of Celoxis to get the roles and access permissions setup correctly. The help guide was not comprehensive enough in this area to do it yourself.

Eerder overwogen alternatieven: Jira, Microsoft Project en monday.com

Redenen om voor Celoxis te kiezen: Viewing multiple projects at once and entering time-sheet data in the project tasks. Plan Vs Actual at the granular level.

Overgestapt van: Microsoft Project

Excellent application for managing small-medium size projects

Opmerkingen: Celoxis is an excellent tool alowing me as the project manager team leader to convey detailed or highlevel scope of a project or the entire project portfolio.

Pluspunten:

excellent user interface, durable solution, endless customization alows you to create any build almots any View or analysis you wish to see. excellent, fast, agile service!

Minpunten:

out of the box integrations can be more suitable for the industry (such as: Salesforce, Jira integrations coverage).

Celoxis has made us more Adaptable and Effective as a Business

Pluspunten:

In one word – Flexibility. Celoxis has really transformed the way we work as a business. It provides accurate monitoring and tracking of all our projects, giving us a bird’s-eye view of the project health. With Celoxis, we can proactively track our projects and know which ones are at risk or being delayed. We can quickly drilldown to see which tasks are putting the project at risk and quickly take remedial measures.

Minpunten:

We would really like to see Celoxis seamlessly integrate with our ERP system.

Clean, Simple, and Effective Interface

Opmerkingen: Celoxis is more than just a task management application. It has a wide spectrum of features, which our organization totally relies on. Celoxis has made task allocations, resource tracking, overall project health monitoring easy and reliable, and makes it an indispensable asset for our team.

Pluspunten:

Celoxis provides comprehensive information about crucial aspects of our projects. Editing tasks in Celoxis is a breeze. Celoxis also has a simple and clear interface, which makes it easy to use and is remarkably user friendly.

Minpunten:

I would love to see a simple and quick to-do list in Celoxis. Mobile app is also missing.

Celoxis Review

Opmerkingen: Great.

Pluspunten:

Project managing of a project becomes very handy.

Minpunten:

No 'undo', and 'pin' option in project programme. It would be great to have undo and pin option, because sometimes we accidentally moved a program in a project.

Celoxis User Review

Opmerkingen: Celoxis allows us to interface with our ERP software (SAP) and minimize duplication of information.

Pluspunten:

It provides one place to create the gantt for the project, resource plan, manage cost, and overall project documentation.

Minpunten:

It takes training to understand all the features of the software and how to use them.

Best PM software on the market, no regret to have selected it one year later

Opmerkingen: Like many other companies we were using excel or Teams to manage projects. This generated a lot of issues with projects ending the same weekend, and no standard reporting, no global view. Also not helping on daily basis, as a PM should have a single place to manage all aspects of a project: RAID log, reporting, Gantt, lessons learned....

Pluspunten:

So easy to use, that you barely need training, which is key to global adoption by all PMs in the company. It also has the possibility to add your custom fields so you are never stuck to match your internal process. Finally, you can create your own 'app' which is a kind of workflow: for instance, we created lessons learned workflow which is part of any project management but was not an original feature of the tool

Minpunten:

Sometimes the automatic calculation of the task date seems to act not as you are expecting. In which case you can select manual setup of the date

Top customer service that offers feature packed Project Management solution

Opmerkingen: We need an end and end Project management solution and we are very please that we found one in form of Celoxis. Celoxis implementation was very smooth and the team was quickly onboarded and have comfortably learned the new ways of working in the new PPM tool. The best part was that Celoxis team was really supportive and have provided the much needed support where ever we required one.

Pluspunten:

I am really impressed with the customer service. The team is really responsive and support you with the best solution possible. The support during the implementation was crucial and it was offered throughout the implementation lifecycle without any extra cost. Moreover I also like the software as it is simple yet powerful enough to provide with end to end Project management solution.

Minpunten:

I would like to Celoxis to include more market standard feature in Project planning (Gantt plan). The current system doesn't allow you to revert back the changes, it is a crucial feature that comes in very handy in case if you are trialling a new plan or made an error by accident. The system also doesn't let you compare the baseline plan with the current plan.

Switching over from Microsoft Project to Celoxis

Opmerkingen: Mostly positive - I wouldn't want to go back to MS Project. But some annoying cons as desribed above. Critical Path not working really hurts

Pluspunten:

I felt Celoxis was quite easy to get started with - it certainly is simpler than other products such as MS Project which is a huge benefit to me since I personally found MS Project too complicated and I never used most of the functions. I can't think of anything I needed which MS Project could do that Celoxis cannot

Minpunten:

By far the biggest issue is that the Critical Path feature doesn't work properly. We've managed to get it working on a small number of occasions and then a simple change broke it. Using the Help Desk has not resolved this so we guess it just simply doesn't work well - never had any issues in MS Project. The Autosave feature and the 4-6s latency behind it meant it was unusable (every single change would cause it to be inoked). Turning it off solved the problem but then you are at risk of losing changes if you don't remember to save or your browser crashes (as happened to be once). Also, it seems almost impossible to reliably have 2 people make changes to the project at the same time without the risk of massive issues.

Celoxis Review

Opmerkingen: There is a lot of potential and great things here. I think a better presentation and more tooltips could help ALOT.

Pluspunten:

There is a lot on offer for the management software.

Minpunten:

It seems really confusing with all the different elements. I would appreciate a different view of the tasks as the tab near the top took me a while to realize that I could scroll to the side and see other tabs. It also seems that the only way to get answers would be to contact customer service, they have been great but that takes up unnecessary time. Making changes to a task would mean that the task would load for a few seconds afterward. If you have multiple tasks to change, this tasks a lot of time. :)

Celoxis the low barrier, high flexible PPM tool with super fast support

Opmerkingen: Celoxis helped us to quickly onboard about 120+ strategic projects under a transformation portfolio. Probably one of the most flexible and configurable PPM tool with low complexity of adaption. We virtually learnt the tool during the trial period and able to quickly configured to align to our processes. The Apps feature let us define our own modules/apps and APIs were useful to import existing data form inhouse tool. The support is the icing on cake for Celoxis. I never had to wait more than minutes to get my queries and issues resolved.

Pluspunten:

Highly Configurability Intuitive both for administrators, configurators and users Import export through CSV for Apps and Gantt Easy top build reports, dashboards and views Workflow engine is simple yet powerful APIs helped us to built some traditional reporting for Execs who may not access Celoxis directly

Minpunten:

1. Missing bulk delete for App items.. e.g. We were experimenting with a burndown chart and uploaded some data that was incorrect, when trying to delete those records we had to delete them one by one as bulk delete was not available, this feature should be available for Admins at least. 2. Program Project hierarchy is not available however we could use the workspace as program

Limit on Virtual Users and Client Assignment to Tasks

Pluspunten:

Contains almost all basic and some advanced features a Project Management Tool needs to have.

Minpunten:

The biggest 2 drawbacks are 1. Tasks in a project cannot be assigned to clients. To achieve this very standard and normal requirement, clients are needed to be created as users as well. 2. Limiting the number of virtual users to a certain number. Typical Project Management Tools are primarily driven by Project/Program Managers. Project Schedules are updated by them and normally the human resources on the project are not authorized to update the task status and %age of completion to ensure completeness and accuracy of the project schedule. Multiple resources updating the project schedule means we are planning for failure. So, typical licensed users would be PMs while the entire project team resources would be virtual users. In the system, effectively they are just another field in a task record of the system just like maybe the Start Date, Finish Date, Task Name, Task ID, Predecessor, Duration, etc. etc. Usability of the Celoxis system for PMs reduces if they are unable to have all their human resources in the system and making the entire tool ineffective.
