If you are a Project Manager, Clarizen is worth a look.
Overall Satisfaction
Pros
- Incorporation of dependent dates for milestones; series of events automatically adjust depending on other events in the product pipeline.
- Ability to share personalized schedules, in real time, with our clients.
- Built-in ecosystem for magaging and notifying assigned personel to duties
Cons
- limited online resources for customization. There were a few instances where we wanted to tweak some sub categories to autofill with previously entered information. We couldn't get that to work.
- Online system would sometimes drag depending on the size of the project. It was particularly challenging to use the site on mobile devices and tablets.
- A bit of a learning curve. There is a lot of detail that can be added on the back-end of the software. It takes a bit of time to get everything organized.
- Great customer feedback related to real-time availabilty of project status. We could tailor gant charts to various customers within an organization fairly quickly.
- Seeing real-time breakdown of costs and time for projects was great. The main page with summary charts was a great way to get information at a glance.
- Clarizen use definitely helped us stream-line project planning and assisted with identifying bottlenecks.
- We run many projects in parallel with similar timepoints (pre-, interim-, and post-). The software was pretty straight forward, permitting us to create one project outline then dupiclating it (as a template) for a number of others.
