Overall Satisfaction with Projectplace

ProjectPlace helped us to centralise and make available project intelligence. It is a great support to enhance collaboration in team projects. The most used features are definitely the conversations and document management. Kanbans and Gantt charts are a must have in many projects to build, share and discuss the planning and actions.
  • Kanban vs. Gantt Chart. Both are different features yet linked together. This lets us use Gantt for a global schedule and Kanban for action. This avoids the use of Gantt charts for small tasks.
  • Document management with a revision process.
  • Conversations, while it is not original, is a key feature. There are interesting hashtags to filter content and @group features.
  • The way Kanbans and Gantt charts interact could be simplified in order to facilitate new user understanding.
  • Adding a specialized knowledge base feature would definitely be a plus. (Currently, the document management system does the job).
  • The reporting "portfolio" tool could be improved to display KPIs in graphics, make summaries, and make calculations.
  • Makes it easier to collaborate for teams.
  • Information is made available.
  • We keep tracks of decisions.
ProjectPlace was selected over Wrike because our management felt it was more structured.
We experienced Projectplace with a team of 2 to 20 people. Our projects need a planning and shared to-do list. ProjectPlace is ideally suited for our needs.

The only limit is in terms of integrated reporting options but once linked with business intelligence software this is not needed anymore (integrate with the free edition of Power BI).
