Scoro
Scoro would be ideal for a larger business who is truly interested in developing a stronger and more efficient workflow. I honestly would have recommended it had it not been for the cost, the hidden fees, and the fact that I'd have to upgrade to an even more expensive plan if I wanted to get the most of the program for our level. We only needed one item, so would have ended up paying much more to not use a great deal of additional features. So, if you want to increase your workflow and have the funds, use them - absolutely. You will not regret it. But I cannot recommend it to someone who is on a tight budget

Scoro
  • Cost. I ended up not recommending this product simply because of the cost alone. There are hidden costs you will not know about until it is too late. Their pricing model is geared for bigger businesses, and can cripple smaller ones. The pricing is by user. If you get the most basic of plans (with a 900 onboarding charge), you will realize that all the things you actually need to make the program effective are on the next tier up...
  • Quickbooks. At the time I was exploring this, Quickbooks was not very well integrated. If you wanted to include billing (which they do show promise for), then you will have issues here.

We prefer Scoro as it's faster and easier to use and learn. Also the fee structure makes a lot of sense for a smaller company.

  • Scoro could have had a wonderful impact on the workflow of the business. It allows for integrations most programs don't, including accounting and time tracking, and could have easily eliminated the need for an FTE through the streamlining of tasks alone.
  • If we had implemented this program, we would have saved time, but all of the gains would have gone to pay for Scoro. It would not have balanced out, especially if they ever were to raise their rates.

Projectworks Screenshots

Screenshot of a visualization that helps to understand capacity, who is available, and when more staff will be needed for work coming down the pipeline. Tag and filter staff by skills and certifications to help make the right staffing decisions.Screenshot of an example timesheet built for professional services firms. The timecode setup is flexible, to enable users to track how time is spent on projects at any level of detail.Screenshot of the interface for tracking project financials in real-time. This helps prevent projects from going over budget by always knowing their current financial status.Screenshot of a display showing how much of the budget has been burned through actual time spent, as well as what is planned. This lets users know when a project is going over budget. These forecasts can be used to set a billing schedule for fixed-price projects, and a percentage mode to support percentage-based billing. Invoicing runs can be started from the forecasts screen.Screenshot of an example invoice, which can be based on a timesheet (time and material / T&M), fixed price engagements, or percentage-based billing. It integrates with accounting systems.Screenshot of where to track actuals and see where a project will land against the project budget.
