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.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • It cut time spent managing projects by about 75% over the previous software we used, which was more suited to small companies with far fewer tasks.
  • Provides an easy to update and clear measure of all project status at any given moment, this has resulted in team members being prepared well in advance of deadlines.
  • Less stress for project managers who can see all job progress and allotted resources with the click of a button.
Alternatives Considered
LiquidPlanner is far more robust. Basecamp worked great for managing smaller projects, but LiquidPlanner was a great improvement as our company and project management needs grew.
Other Software Used
Products Replaced
Yes
Basecamp, it wasn't complex enough to suit the needs of our business as it grew. It didn't work fluidly for larger teams and it was too cumbersome to pull out necessary data. LiquidPlanner has a more robust asset sharing system which has been very helpful too.
Key Differentiators
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Third-party Reviews
The most important factor was whether it would work for our needs. The complimentary testing period solidified it for us.
Evaluation Lessons Learned
It's been two years since we evaluated and selected it. We're still using it, so I can't think of anything that could be improved upon.
Support Rating
3
Support is the least impressive part of LiquidPlanner for me. Issues are resolved, but software bugs or suggested improvements are generally blown off or responded to condescendingly. This software updates more frequently than any other software we use, frequently during times we use the product (Saturday mornings). Often the updates result in aesthetic changes that seem pointless when there are bigger updates that would make using the product easier, which should be a higher priority.
Bug Resolution
Yes
Yes, and yes it was resolved.
Exceptional Examples of LiquidPlanner Support
Support staff is available, but I don't find their support team to be the most helpful of all the services I use. I only contact them when I absolutely have to.

A great tool to get an overview of your project workload + time tracking

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our entire company uses LiquidPlanner to schedule projects across all team members and track time. It's great for tracking time and it also really helps us see the big picture of what we're currently working on as well as what's in the pipeline. It allows our sales team to better predict how soon a new project can get on the schedule, and it also helps us better support our existing customers by budgeting hours each week to address any concerns or new items that pop-up on the schedule.
Pros
  • Time tracking
  • Gantt chart views of scheduling
  • Multi-user collaboration
Cons
  • Steep learning curve
  • High per-seat price point
  • You can use it to manage projects but I find other tools work better for that need
Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for large companies or small -- basically any company where you want to be able to get both a high-level overview and a granular look at your current and future workload. It's also great for time tracking, particularly if you want/need to track on a granular and/or task level.

  • More efficient scheduling
  • More accurate estimates for future projects based on existing time tracking
  • Easier time tracking for billing
Alternatives Considered
We use Teamwork for managing projects and love it for that, but we stick with LiquidPlanner for the high-level overview of our project workload, as well as for time-tracking (specifically for being able to bill out actuals). Teamwork and LiquidPlanner each have their merits; we find the combination of both tools to be right for our needs.
