(1-5 of 5)Look elsewhere, not worth the time or money
- If you just want basic information on your projects, a place to keep the information, this system will work for you.
- It is good for mini projects like Service Request
- You have too many steps to make what should be simple changes like closing a project or service request.
- Additional cost required for necessary reports, changes made to the system like adding a new Status or emailing a status report
- Can take weeks or months to resolve a ticket when it's turned in, lots of back and forth with their help desk. Told numerous times it the problem is our internet browser, our settings only to discover it was a problem on their end.
- Not as user friendly as they lead you to believe. We are still unable to provide a useful dashboard for our leadership, we pull information and have to manually make changes to get the information we need.
- This product has actually caused major frustration for the IT team and we were never able to deploy it past IT.

Good quality product with a great future
- Flexible tool that can be configured to users needs
- Great flow between different parts of the tool, such as timesheet, resources, and projects
- The new UI is really easy to use
- Performance is not always consistent. There are periods of time where everything goes wrong with the tool, and there are times when everything just goes perfect. It seems like a cycle that lasts couple months.
- Support is not that great in terms of solutions provided. Most of the time the support responses are not helpful at all.
- The vendor is not proactive in planning the releases specific to customer. We had many issues because of inadequate release planning.
- Better understanding of IT workload
- Ability to determine who to hire when
- Ability to slot the projects with more realistic expectations, and more solid data
