What is Workzone?
Workzone is a web-based tool for project management and collaboration from Workzone in Norristown, PA, that contains a full array of the features needed for project management. It's hub is the project dashboard, which provides a platform for team communication and tracking tasks over time as they progress towards completion. An automated to-do list can be sent to each user. Alerts flag issues nearing a critical moment or events of which team members need be aware. Templates classify projects and save time, task dependencies keep events happening in the proper order. The central dashboard allows team members to view new project requests, and the familiar Gantt chart organizes projects and their events over time. Workload reports see that tasks are assigned to the personnel best positioned to take them on. Furthermore it includes a calendar, document uploading and sharing capability, assigning permissions, email integration, a discussion board, and other features.

Good tool for PM, but with outdated interface
Workzone contains an excellent dashboard that allows you to see all the information you need about employees and their tasks. You can easily transfer some tasks to another employee. I create personal to-do lists for employees, send reminders to their email, and monitor their progress.
- The most important thing is always in front
- Project templates (the ability to save your own project as a template)
- Excellent API and great integration possibilities
- Outdated interface (not very intuitive)
- A small number of different types of reports (especially if you have several teams)
- I would like to have a "normal" mobile application

The power to transform ideas into strategies, plans and actions is right here in Workzone platform
Workzone is the most mature online project collaboration and document management software in the market today. I use Workzone to assign tasks to team members and track the progress of every task by following notifications on tasks that are due and what impacts they have on the overall project. I have the ability to quickly identify which projects require more focus or those that need immediate attention. The features of Workzone are robust enough to handle our projects effectively and yet so simple for the teams to understand.
- Provides real time insight on the status of project and breaks down the project column task dependencies, due dates and resources.
- Real-time updates on project changes and organizing tasks according to priority and date.
- Producing reports of time spent on each project and these reports can be exported via PDF or Excel
- A timeline of the whole organization events such as occasions and vacations are visible on the Group Calendar
- The accounting and budgeting features that this software offers are not advanced
- The software sends numerous number of emails everyday which can be disturbing although this can be changed in the preferences section
- The overall appearance of this software can be improved although it still gets work done perfectly

Workzone for the work place
We are currently using Workzone in our company for scheduling the project team to work on different projects and to manage our time allocated to each client project. We break down each project within Workzone and allocate tasks to interns to better manage our time as a company. Workzone helps us look to the future with our current work load.
- Manage who is working on each project.
- Manage time spent on each project.
- Allocate tasks to team members.
- If a project is put on hold by the client, Workzone sends me notifications that I am approaching a deadline that is no longer applicable. There needs to be a "on hold" button.
- Sometimes it is hard to forecast a few months out with projects, so I can only use the program for weekly projections.
- In my industry, there are daily fires we have to put out per say, that were not accounted for in the program. At that point I dont have time to update the schedule, because it is a moving target.

Enhance your project management w/ WorkZone!
We use WorkZone across the entire organization to manage all custom projects for our clients. We also use it as a way to manage our advisory service clients, as there are tasks we perform each and every month for each account. It helps to keep projects moving along at a determined pace so that we can deliver drafts to clients according to our agreement.
- The to-do list gives a great overview of tasks do, keeping me on track for the day and allowing me to prioritize easily.
- It's a great way to move projects along between different members of our work team and we're able to customize by placing comments in the notes section of each task.
- Email reminders help to move things along when other duties take us away from WorkZone. Despite using it daily, sometimes we need a reminder to check in on a project!
- It's easy to customize templates if a task or group of tasks need to be added to a particular project or multiple similar projects. This makes making changes faster!
- I'd like to have additional features where we can add URL's and contact information for each project. This way, folks could go to one place to get all of the information for one project.
- The overall visual impact of WorkZone could be improved. Nothing too busy, but the ability to color code notes (highlighting, etc.) would be helpful to draw attention to urgent items.
- Making WorkZone more intuitive may assist folks - pop-ups regarding dependencies, simpler explanations when trying to build projects and mistakes are made, etc.

- Workzone is an easy and effective way to provide clients files in a secure online enviroment.
- Workzone issues email alerts to client and third party partners with whom you chose to share highly sensitive project materials.
- Workzone doesn't just issue email links , but is also a record keeping tool for ongoing discussions/comments on project materials.
- It would be great if WorkZone could provide chat areas for online meeting with clients.
- Workzone could provide a safer way of blocking certain groups from accessing folder/files.

- WorkZone provides a clear, easy-to-manage method for organizing projects by task. You can set deadlines for each individual task to be completed and have alerts sent to you when deadlines approach. It is a great way to stay on top of the small tasks that help complete a larger project successfully!
- I love the fact that WorkZone allows different levels of access to projects. This way, management can have full access to all employees' work across projects and even across disciplines, while limiting the access that employees have. This only makes sense, seeing that someone in Business Development, say, does not need to be getting reminders about the Finance projects approaching. It helps employees focus on their tasks alone, while allowing management to maintain a grasp on all projects/tasks at hand.
- WorkZone has the wonderful feature of being able to output to an external calendar (Outlook, Google, etc.). I live by my calendar, so having upcoming deadlines for tasks and projects lined up next to my meetings significantly helps me prioritize and manage my time well throughout the week.
- Entering dates for individual tasks became cumbersome after a while. If I wanted tasks to happen sequentially (say, 4 tasks over a period of one month, thus 1 every week), I would still have to enter each date individually. I would greatly appreciate a function that would automatically calculate and enter sequential dates for multiple tasks.
- The Setup menu can be slightly confusing, if users do not pay attention to which workspace they are working in. To reach a site level setup menu, you must be viewing All Workspaces. If you are working in an individual workspace and click Setup, it will take you to the setup menu for that workspace alone. It would be nice if the Setup button always took users to the site level setup, and let them navigate to the specific workspace, if they wish to do so.
- As far as I have seen, if you post a document for review by your team members, and someone comments on it, you must navigate back to the individual document you posted to see your team members' notes. I wish there was an easier way to see all comments from the project page, without having to navigate to the task and then to the document.

- WorkZone has a wonderful array of features - Project tracker, different "Workspaces" that can be set up for each client, financial tracking, time tracking, calendar functions, etc.
- There are lots of helpful views like, status by project, project to-do list, workload by responsible party or by category. The project tracker can be filtered to view exactly what you want to view - items in a certain workspace, items by responsible party, only incomplete items, etc.
- There are lots of customization options to make each space match the brand. For example, each Workspace can be set up with the client logo, colors, etc. Each Workspace can have different access settings, so if you have clients using WorkZone with you, they won't necessarily see your other projects and clients (given the right settings).
- Project templates are wonderful for projects you do often - you can select an end date or a start date and it will build the timeline for you. You can even assign tasks in the template, if they always go to the same person, or you can leave them blank and add them in later.
- There are several different options for loading projects into their system - from an Excel template, creating an outline (either basic tasks, or you can add tasks/dates/responsibilities all at once), building from an existing WorkZone template you've created, or importing from MS Project.
- If you set up WorkZone to use with clients, there are extremely helpful features to help with client review and approvals - it's all done through the system. You can send creative through the system, and the client can provide feedback and send it back. No more digging around for that email that's in your inbox.... somewhere....
- I've been able to access via computer, mobile and tablet. I occasionally have issues trying to modify things, like trying to check a box from a smaller screen, but projects can still be accessed while on the go.
- WorkZone has provided excellent support and multiple trainings, on different levels. We did a training for system admins, and a more basic training for users who won't be in the settings and customization pieces. Their customer support, the very few times I've had to use it, has been very responsive.
- If you are not set up to use WorkZone with clients, exporting timelines to share with other parties is a bit basic. There are options to export to a pdf or Excel. It looks exactly like a screenshot, not anything impressive to show a client. It would be nice to have options to add text or contact information from WorkZone before exporting, so it looks a little more customized. It doesn't seem to have the same customization that each Workspace has.
- Importing from Excel is a bit clunky. You have to use a template set up by WorkZone. My team has extensive Excel documents we've set up over several years as timelines, and finding a way to connect our existing timelines with the Excel template has been a bit difficult, adding a layer of work. I'm sure this would be improved if we set up more project templates in WorkZone, eliminating our Excel usage, but with the limited export settings, we've primarily been providing Excel timelines to our clients and implementing WorkZone for our internal tracking.
- There are options to export the calendar, but it would be nice to be able to subscribe to the calendar in my Outlook, so updates are constant and not triggered by an export.
