Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We've implemented Easy Projects after having searched for a suitable project management software for our company for a while. We were quite pleased to see the number of features provided for the price, because Easy Projects was not just about time tracking and Gannt Charts. It also gave us a chance shift to cloud computing to explore its advantages (we used web storage). It was nice to find out about the great customer support, too - you are being guided through the whole implementation process, from the very beginning.The overall impression was that the guys at Easy Projects take away much of the burden off your shoulders by taking care of many issues thus optimizing the development process.
Pros
  • Easy Projects has all the basic features like task, time, budget, issue management, billing and invoicing.
  • It also has a clear, customizable Dashboard with a Project Health chart, Resource Loading chart, Hours by Project chart, Estimated vs Actual Hours chart and widgets.
  • It improves team collaboration with customizable real-time e-mail notifications and alerts, instant file sharing, message boards and due task reminders available.
  • Low-priced monthly accounts can support unlimited projects.
Cons
  • Easy Projects can be quite difficult to learn to use, because it is an advanced and multifunctional tool. However, all paid accounts also include five free hours of training.
  • You can’t create dependencies between projects, which may be quite inconvenient if you have more than one project.
Likelihood to Recommend
Easy Projects, apparently, suits small businesses and enterprises best. You should choose EP if you need a more complex tool for multiple projects.

Easy Project is being used as a project management and staff workload management tool. It is being used across the whole organization. It addresses budget control, project management, staff working hrs, and workload management.
Pros
  • Easy to use.
  • Good to check the workload
  • Easy to track working hrs.
Cons
  • Internal communication
  • Simpler interface
  • Better user experience
Likelihood to Recommend
It works well when I need to log my hrs, check project tasks and associated assigned hrs, and project progress. It's also good to check the coming weeks or months of resource loading so that people can plan to take more projects or reject projects. It needs to improve the internal communication tunnel.

Easy Projects: It made our projects easier.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Easy Projects in our marketing office for project management purposes. We use it to track progress of jobs requiring graphic design work, and it serves as an archive for previous jobs.

We open a job in Easy Projects and fill out customized fields to describe the job (size, envelope needed for mailing, design suggestions, delivery location) and upload any needed files (word document of text for the publication, photos/logos, etc.). We then assign users (graphic designers, print production coordinator, etc.) to the job and assign them tasks with end dates to complete.
Day to day, we perform most of our work via the dashboard screen in Easy Projects, which gives you an overview of all the open tasks and who they are assigned to and the end dates.

When jobs are completed, we then "close" them in the system. The great thing is that we can go back and search "closed" jobs. Since we've been using it for several years, we have a lot of history on repeat jobs.
Pros
  • Easy Projects is great for project management. It allows you to assign users, set tasks and end dates, and keep it all together in one working file/job. It's a project manager's dream -- you can look inside and see exactly what is going on and any missed deadlines.
  • Easy Projects allows good customization of the fields. We have worked it so that in a job file, we can enter info about things specific to publication design -- size, file format, delivery location, etc. And we've been able to change these further over time as our needs change.
  • Easy Projects allows for archiving of completed jobs. You don't have to see them every time you log in, but it's great to be able to go back and search through completed jobs (even several years back) to see what was done last time, who was assigning, costs, etc.
  • Easy Projects allows you to pull reports and export them. This has proved helpful when we needed an overall log of jobs for a client or to pull a large number of costs.
Cons
  • Easy Projects has some problems when it comes to accessing the site via different methods/browsers. It is either very slow or never works on a tablet. It is not smart-phone friendly. And it stopped working for us in Firefox -- all we could use is Safari or Chrome (we are a Mac-based office).
  • Easy Projects' email notifications are overwhelming. I turned them off completely since I was getting messages every time one little detail was added or changed.
  • While the reports are great, they are somewhat hard to pull. It takes a lot of trial and error -- I would not say the reports are an "intuitive area."
  • The biggest by far is what we fondly call "the screen of death." When you mark the last open task associated with a job as complete, a screen pops up that asks if you want to close the overall job, as well. The "yes" field is pre-selected, so if you are overzealous and click through quickly, it automatically closes the job. I don't know why they think this feature is helpful. We have so many staffers that complain they suddenly can't find their open job -- well, it's been marked completed and goes into the archive.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think as a project management software, Easy Projects is great. We used spreadsheets before, and that led to a whole mess of confusion. Easy Projects gets everything in one place online -- you can access it from anywhere with an Internet connection and everyone is working off the same files. This works well for us as a marketing/graphic design group. Our colleagues in web design use it, as well, I'm told with success. So I know those two scenarios will work with the Easy Projects system. If you are selecting project management software, definitely know what you need a system to do in its most basic form -- then see what additional elements appeal to you. One thing you may want to investigate during your evaluation of Easy Projects is server space. We host this program and its files on an internal server, so we have to be sure there is enough space to accommodate open jobs and archive files.

We handle the complete project through easy projects. We use it for data mining and tracking the project's status. We have multiple projects running at a time and Easy Projects makes the experience so overwhelming by showing the status of all the projects on one page. We can even refer to the old closed projects and see the timelines of the current project tasks. The problems with project allocation, sharing updates on different projects, and meeting the milestones are addressed through Easy Projects.
Pros
  • Project management gets very easy with Easy Projects.
  • Accurate analysis and tracking multiple projects.
  • Resource allocation along with checking their availability.
Cons
  • Number of notifications.
  • We can't change the task progress like the project manager can. I can just update as "I am done" at the end of the task, thus I can't notify if my task is 50% complete.
  • There can be a space to note down the project learning.
Likelihood to Recommend
I really like that after completion of the work I can send the notification of the completed work by clicking just one button. Following up and asking for updates on particular could be handled somehow, that is, if I comment but I don't want to send it as a notification to all the people, I should be able to control it. At present, I can't. Also, we can't change the task progress like the project manager can. I can just update as "I am done" at the end of the task, thus I can't notify if my task is 50% complete. Possibly it is related to the level of access.

We use Easy Projects in our organization as a project management tool. In my specific case, our Web Project managers open tasks (daily tasks) and them assign to a Web Builder. Later I can track times, performance, check dashboards, etc.
In addition EP help to or Organization track budget in projects, deadlines, resources administration, roles into a specific project the last one is very important, in some case you could be a Project manager or Requestor en others you could be de Owner.
Maybe a API or tool to connect EP with PowerBI will be awesome.
Pros
  • Easy Projects has a really nice UI. It's really easy [to] work there and make our projects easy to follow.
  • Great support. A few times I had to talk with support about API connections and they answered me quickly and kindly.
  • It's stable. I cannot remember a day when Easy Projects' platform [was] down, so it's really STABLE.
  • Charts and reports are very easy to use
Cons
  • More custom charts options.
  • Recent update remove[d] the option to "save as" an attachment file, so [it made] more difficult the files/documents' organization.
  • Set or find a filter with "date" is hard to do. Many times someone in our team makes the mistake to modify all dates in a project because dates range in the dashboard task looks like a filter, or we don't have a date filter.
  • API or conections to another tools like PowerBi or Tableau
  • Better filters, is really hard find filter to a date range.
Likelihood to Recommend
In Lenovo, we are more than 2000+ workers, so I can not say if the size company is a limitation to apply Easy Projects. I'm sure that EP could adapt for the small-medium-large enterprises. For me, EP is perfectly suited to project management, checking the time, resources, budget, deadlines, [etc.] so [it] is all that a project manager needs.
about less appropriate, I think more referred to the charts and dashboards, exist others tool with more capabilities like PowerBI, maybe a connection between them will be great.
