Pros
CounterSoft
  • Gemini offers flexible framework that allowed IT to build a workflow based process. IT change requests were divided into several buckets: New Change Requests group for business units to submit requests for enhancements and new project ideas, Pending Change Requests for approved projects that are waiting for IT resources, Application Development where we track active projects, Defect Tracking where bugs are tracked during testing and finally Release Management where requests for deployment are tracked.
  • Gemini allows to create custom fields and add them to View, Edit and Add screens. This flexible model allowed us to track additional information on the project such as IT Point of Contact, System Name, Team Name, Testing dates, etc.
  • Gemini has flexible email notification model that allows to keep business customers informed on the project progress. Whenever comment is added by project manager email alerts goes out anyone that is set to watch project progress.

Cons
CounterSoft
  • It would be useful for Gemini to offer a mobile-friendly version.
  • It would be helpful for Gemini to provide more granular control over email notification options. Currently, we cannot turn off update type emails
  • Gemini could improve homepage design to provide a dashboard for all projects in the system.
