EPM Live was chosen as a project management solution for our client services department. We needed a better way to track interactions and progress with clients and to promote best practices with those clients in our growing company. We went through several vendors and finally chose EPM as our solution after a trial period.

- We had to pay EPM for a solution that was, for our business, unusable
- We gained much needed experience in working with third party software vendors
The experience with TaskRay was like night and day. The TaskRay representative has always been responsive and helpful. EPM's promise to integrate with Salesforce was limited at best.TaskRay exists within Salesforce, so the install and customization took less than a day. Ultimately we are still evaluating solutions and working with EPM made it easy to see what we were not looking for in a partner.

This product is being used by our organization across the board. The results have been solid. Before EPM LIve, my organization was ineffective at managing our resources effectively. From an annual planning and selection process that frequently failed to recognize resource and skills limitations, to our unrealistic project plans that ignored resource constraints, we effectively failed at resource management. I will admit that. Thanks to EPM LIve, we can now ensure that resource impacts are considered during project selection and can recognize resource management problems early on and take the proper steps to address those problems. We are proactive now instead of reactive!
- Its ease of use is its great strength.
- This is a solid product. I do not have any suggested changes based on our experience. Cannot understand why there are any negative reviews here. The reviewer(s) must not have given the product a fair chance.
- We have already seem ROI on our investment.
Although we looked at competing products, this is the only product we have implemented.

I do not know if I would make any changes to the process. I researched several competing products before making our product selection. My initial evaluation period for this product went smoothly. With time being valuable--I did not second guess my initial choice. So far we are pleased with the choice.
No
Fortunately, we have not had any big glitches to date.
No
I recall a late evening call for help--my question, which had me spinning my wheels--was answered quickly and effectively.

EPM Live has helped our business in a bunch of ways. We are moving at a much faster pace across departments and saw an immediate improvement in overall communication on all the various projects we are currently working on. Love the Cost and Resource Management features. Our whole team has embraced the social collaboration as well and the best part may be getting Sales, Support and Development to play so nice together and share ideas so quickly and effectively. They have tons of great integrations to offer already and I'm looking forward to them adding more. Highly recommend EPM Live!!!
- Fantastic project management features
- Cost and Resource management features more than paid for the software
- Social Collaboration tools improve communication between departments
- Would love to see more integrations!
- EPM Live has a lasting effect on the way we do business. We move at a faster pace than ever before and we are hitting our customer demands more squarely and effeciently than ever before. Trying to forget the before!!
- Improved our employee engagement in all aspects of the business and made us a more closer team. Simply being in regular communication of all outstanding issues, projects, expectations, requests, challenges, etc has helped our business tremendously.
