    Centage
    Centage is suited for all types of business. This is what makes this tool so great. It requires some expertise in setting it up and depending on how complex the business is, it may take longer than expected. It's a complex system and if you are not involved in the implementtion it might be hard to learn what is does.

    My work involves projects of 5-15 people with numerous projects running simultaneously. Prior to Zoho, I did not have a central location from which to view all project statuses at once. Zoho looks to provide this and also looks like it will deliver. I am anxious to see how our organization's use of it develops. At this time, I feel I am likely to recommend Zoho Projects because my organization has made great software decisions in the past so I have a level of trust already that the research has been done that Zoho is the best solution for our line of work.

    Pros
    Centage
    • Planning personnel with all the related benefit expenses is very accurate and we are able to forecast increases as well.
    • Storing separate versions of the budget allows us to finalize for the year and have access to the data while we update the default plan with any changes.
    • I ilke the way you can add intelligence see the detail of calculations below th eline item.
    • I like writing Planning Maestro reports to see drill downs of any item and tie them to our ERP Budget

    • We use it to manage our sales orders as there are lots of moving parts which are necessary to get client orders done properly.
    • I use it anytime I have a new idea I want to put into motion. As I can create a list for brainstorming, feedback, specific actions necessary in order to test and or implement the idea.
    • Unrelated to business, it's a great way to plan travel in order to make sure you don't forget those important things like passport, flight arrangement, client meeting confirmation, and meeting prep as far as what specific documents or things do you need to bring with you.
    • And since everyone is on the go and expected to keep up with work, the mobile/tablet app makes it a breeze to keep up, work on, and create new projects.

    Cons
    Centage
    • Head count is a bit strange as each period is considered one Headcount for a total of 12 per year, so we have to adjust when running reports
    • would love to be able to attach related expenses in payroll to a kind of employee instead of doing each individually. It's time consuming.
    • Have the help more available instead of having to log into separate place

    Zoho
    • There is no ability to add custom fields in the "Bugs" module - for example, if we want to add fields such as Version Number.
    • Reporting is not integrated - its a fairly expensive add-on.
    • There is no easy way to track actual and completed dates for tasks - so historical variance analysis is not easy.

    I've reviewed about 8 other project management solutions and Zoho Projects is the best I've seen without being overly complicated. Zoho Projects keeps getting better! Recent new enhancements makes it even easier to navigate. There are new keyboard shortcuts that cut my time way down. The tools are very easy to use.

    I've lived through the changes over the years, and I have found that most financially-minded professionals should have no problems using this system.

    Zoho Projects is an easy project management tool to use. It provides all the functionality that we required for handling projects. We can easily create personal forms for projects and tasks, allowing us to add and report on our own desire. Apart from this we can create and edit documents in real time which saves our time. This allows us to share text docs, presentations, tables with the whole team and we can work on them together

    Although it might lack intuitiveness, once you get a hang of how Zoho Projects works, you can do a LOT. The impact good project management has on profitability is huge, and it has helped not only improve communication and coordination when working on a project, but more importantly have adequate tracking of time, due dates and potential bottle necks

    I used to use an older consolidating product call FRX or something like that, very manual where accounts were adding line the reporting lines one by one.... Centage is far superior, the ability to create custom Dimension hierarchies as improved our reporting 100 fold

    Zoho Projects provides a more limited set of functionality and customization options than other task/bug trackers on the market, but what it lacks in functionality it makes up for in ease of use. It probably has 80-90% of the features of its competitors but takes about a third of the time to get up and running and realizing value.

    Return on Investment
    Centage
    • We were a very small company growing by acquisition so it worked well during these phases of our company growth.
    • The return for our cost was tremendous especially in comparison to peers in the market.
    • Analytics Maestro allowed us to grow without adding headcount by building efficient reports that can easily be mass-produced for all branches within our organization.

    • We needed a system to organize our growing business, so anything was better than what we had, which was nothing.
    • Recording time spend is a huge reason for using project software. It has made me aware of the tasks that are taking too long and where we are not being profitable as a company.
    • It has kept our team accountable for what needs to get completed and when projects are not in motion or completed timely. It's helpful to know in order to get billing out faster.
