(1-2 of 2)WorkZone: The positives and negatives
- WorkZone is good at basic project management like scheduling and time management.
- The software can be set to send you a daily email with the list of the tasks that you need to get done for that day.
- Workzone allows the admin for the account to pick and choose which clients/projects can be seen by each person with an account, which allows each user to focus on the projects that they are involved in without being distracted by other things.
- Time management has room for improvement by allowing time to be estimated by an admin so when you are putting in actual time there is a comparison to keep you on point.
- Your task list does not detail what the project name is so the project name has to be included next to the task, so you have to manually include the project name in the task name.
- For safety there was an automatic log off, but it was every 15 minutes of idleness which becomes annoying when you are using it constantly throughout the day.
- Invoicing to multiple vendors, as one would do at an ad agency, is not user friendly or possible in some instances.
- You cannot view multiple tasks from different projects in one list, so to check schedules and cross things off you have to back out to the main list for a client and then go back into another project which can be cumbersome.

- WorkZone provides a clear, easy-to-manage method for organizing projects by task. You can set deadlines for each individual task to be completed and have alerts sent to you when deadlines approach. It is a great way to stay on top of the small tasks that help complete a larger project successfully!
- I love the fact that WorkZone allows different levels of access to projects. This way, management can have full access to all employees' work across projects and even across disciplines, while limiting the access that employees have. This only makes sense, seeing that someone in Business Development, say, does not need to be getting reminders about the Finance projects approaching. It helps employees focus on their tasks alone, while allowing management to maintain a grasp on all projects/tasks at hand.
- WorkZone has the wonderful feature of being able to output to an external calendar (Outlook, Google, etc.). I live by my calendar, so having upcoming deadlines for tasks and projects lined up next to my meetings significantly helps me prioritize and manage my time well throughout the week.
- Entering dates for individual tasks became cumbersome after a while. If I wanted tasks to happen sequentially (say, 4 tasks over a period of one month, thus 1 every week), I would still have to enter each date individually. I would greatly appreciate a function that would automatically calculate and enter sequential dates for multiple tasks.
- The Setup menu can be slightly confusing, if users do not pay attention to which workspace they are working in. To reach a site level setup menu, you must be viewing All Workspaces. If you are working in an individual workspace and click Setup, it will take you to the setup menu for that workspace alone. It would be nice if the Setup button always took users to the site level setup, and let them navigate to the specific workspace, if they wish to do so.
- As far as I have seen, if you post a document for review by your team members, and someone comments on it, you must navigate back to the individual document you posted to see your team members' notes. I wish there was an easier way to see all comments from the project page, without having to navigate to the task and then to the document.
- As a startup organization, we were often juggling multiple projects across all divisions. Unfortunately, some things just fell through the cracks. We wanted a software that would help us organize our projects and tasks and hold us accountable for deadlines; WorkZone was very successful in helping with that.
- WorkZone made it very easy for us to track how successful employees were in meeting deadlines and completing tasks. This significantly increased overall efficiency and productivity for our team, because we could address issues if we saw a deadline was approaching and not close to being met.
- WorkZone practically eliminated our problem with letting small tasks slip through the tasks. Our workload was that of 20+ people, but we did not have the resources to hire more employees. WorkZone made our small team's job of completing work much easier, acting as an organization tool and accountability partner.
- Increase Organization Productivity and Efficiency
- Allow Management a Better Understanding of Employee Performance in Completing Tasks
- Organize and Identify all Project and Related Tasks to Be Completed
- We have used WorkZone as a accountability tool for employees.
- We have used WorkZone's tracking abilities to plan for surprise tasks (birthday celebrations) only known to a few team members! :)

- Event Planning
- Calendar Management and Synchronization
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
- Implemented in-house
- Training Team Members
- Gaining Access Codes (Not a negative issue; just a large piece of implementation to be addressed)
- Took a significant amount of time to set up all projects in the system, so users could begin to track performance and completion.
- Online training
- Setting up users and defining permissions is very easy to do.
- Viewing upcoming tasks and project deadlines for the week is easy, thanks to WorkZone's "To-Do List".
- Viewing project task completion and how the project is performing against deadlines is easy to do.
- Setting up deadlines for sequential tasks can be difficult, as there is no way to fill in sequential dates automatically.
- Accessing site Setup menu can only be done from the "All Workspaces" option.
- Not particularly "social-friendly", in that there is not an easy way to chat directly with other team members working on the same project while using the software.
