Product Details

What is LiquidPlanner?

LiquidPlanner is a portfolio project & resource management solution for teams that want to plan and predict. It provides a way to align people, projects and priorities to ensure the right people are working on the right things at the right time.

Predictive scheduling dynamically adapts to change and manages uncertainty, so the user knows in real-time when work will be done. It offers automatic resource leveling and priority-based planning across multiple projects and dependencies. When changes to priorities occur, drag and drop projects are used to adjust project plans automatically.

With Planning Intelligence, LiquidPlanner enables teams to deliver and optimize projects, helping teams to prioritize tasks, predict outcomes, and perform. LiquidPlanner offers a free trial.

No More Missed Deadlines or Over-Budget Projects

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
LiquidPlanner is used organization-wide to manage client projects, time budgets, deadlines, project assets and employee time sheets. It keeps all of our projects focused and on track for timely on-budget completion with easy collaboration between team members.
Pros
  • Prioritize projects and deadlines.
  • Allow multi-user tasks and set contingencies.
  • Create simple to use working calendar for each user.
Cons
  • Assigning projects from 'Inbox' to actual clients is cumbersome.
  • No direct link to calendar view from main navigation.
  • Drag & drop functionality on calendar view would be helpful.
  • When logging time from a timer, the task disappears from the drop-down. This is an inconvenience if you need to mark the project finished.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for companies with multiple divisions/clients and numerous projects. It would be overkill for small companies managing fewer than 25 projects at a time. It is well-suited for those managing teams with multiple members, especially when they're working on the same projects at the same time and/or if their projects are contingent upon each other. LiquidPlanner is highly suited for deadline specific project management.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use LiquidPlanner for to manage software implementation projects for new customers and customers that upgrade or add on new modules. In the past, we used NetSuite to try to manage projects, but since that wasn't a true project management software things were easily lost or buried. LiquidPlanner provides a detailed look at projects' status and provides a quick snapshot of who is working with each customer.
Pros
  • Ease of use
  • Notifications - emails members when tasks are assigned or updated, and you can follow tasks that are not yours so that you can keep track of their status.
  • Well designed UI
  • Unique mail addressees for each task to keep track of correspondence
Cons
  • Reporting - sometimes I can't filter on the fields I need to report on
  • Personal reporting - without administrative access users cannot easily export a list of all tasks they have outstanding
  • Not responsive - hard to view on phone/tablet
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have complex projects with many steps and many people working on them, or if you have a desire to report on many small aspects of a project, LiquidPlanner might not be the best fit. If you have smaller scale projects and are ok with doing some manipulation of project data outside of LiquidPlanner, it's a great software.

For effective project management, LiquidPlanner.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Thanks to LiquidPlanner we can create, manage and carry out absolute control of the company's projects and tasks. It can be easily integrated with various calendars, with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box. In our case, we use it with Zapier to add the appropriate applications to integrate. Because we handle all the basic tasks and projects for the company, for unlimited general storage we use the BOX integration to manage large files.
Pros
  • Intuitive UX/UI.
  • Integration with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box.
  • Reports, customized with the ability to export them as CSV files.
Cons
  • Reports cannot be exported in PDF format.
Likelihood to Recommend
LiquidPlanner is the ideal software to handle all the projects and all the basic tasks of any company. This software streamlines the process of our work, provides almost unlimited report customization options, generated reports that can be saved for future use. In conclusion, LiquidPlanner offers a wide range of features that are sure to help you make the project management process easy and effective.

Powerful, useful, and slightly cumbersome.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our entire organization uses LiquidPlanner to manage projects and tasks. Our Production department uses it primarily, while our Marketing department has been using it to interact with the Production department on their tasks, and also has been starting to track their own tasks. It addresses the problem of not having a cohesive system for tracking various projects and tasks together. It does an effective job of managing an entire company's tasks.
Pros
  • Manages a huge amount of information related to projects and tasks.
  • Offers different views and search options to get the information you're looking for.
  • Estimation and time tracking work well and help keep everyone on the same page.
Cons
  • The interface is messy and cluttered. The best way to find things and see what you actually want to see is the main Projects view which is also the most cluttered and hardest to maneuver in.
  • Clicking an external link someone posted in a comment or task description doesn't open in a new window by default, so we are constantly having to go back to get to LiquidPlanner again.
  • The way that the interface saves your state globally (rather than per tab instance) means that if you click a link from someone else to a task that's not yours, then it adjusts your filters on the Projects page. Then if you refresh another LiquidPlanner window where you were on the Projects tab, suddenly all of its filters are updated and what you were looking at may no longer be there.
  • It might just be the way that we use the system, but the Home and My Work tabs are fairly useless for us. They typically don't show the tasks we're actually looking for.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is suited well if the whole company is on-board and if you take the time and effort to train everyone and to use LiquidPlanner as it was designed. Used in such a scenario, I think it could be a very effective project management and task tracking tool. If you have custom needs and need a solution that will bend to support almost any scenario, you might end up fighting with the system to get it to do what you want.

Very useful tool for project management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it for project tracking in terms of understanding how resources are being utilised and what capacity is remaining to allocate. Also used to track project tasks all in one place and pipeline projects. We like how the tool is collaborative to enable staff to input information and give management a shared understanding of project progress.
Pros
  • Reporting feature with multiple views of resources.
  • Reminder function.
  • Visualisation of project data.
  • Task allocation and tracking.
Cons
  • Difficult to use on a phone.
  • Interface is busy and not easy to navigate.
  • Reporting can be difficult to hack.
Likelihood to Recommend
The tool is well suited for various project management needs. For example, the tool enables time estimating to understand project duration which feeds into our budget plans. The tool is also well suited for following the progress of projects through Gannt chart visualisations and the creation of task dependencies. Though the tool is less useful when you have overlapping time spent on tasks.
