Overall Satisfaction with Projectplace

Projectplace works well in our organization. Right now it's only used by our project department ≈ 4 individuals, but we're looking to expand the usage with Zapier integration and hope to be able to involve Salesforce personnel. We're located in Sweden and UK right now, but since we're growing we are looking to be global within a few years, and hopefully, Projectplace will fit by that time. We're using Projectplace with Swedish and English primarily.
  • We love the fact that we can visualise a normal GANTT chart. This makes it easy for us to show the project timeline to our customers.
  • Its easy to use. The UX and simplicity makes projectplace easy to understand and use.
  • We find the possibility to involve and assign tasks within a project to different resources particularly attractive. Especially when you can combine the GANTT project map with the simplicity of Kanban cards.
  • We use templates a lot. Almost exclusively. Right now we want to be able to assign tasks to specific people automatically when you create the project. This would improve our work a lot.
  • We don't like the visual [aspect] of the public project page (visible by link). It looks really awful compared to the rest of your platform. We would however really want to use it if it was improved.
  • We've had a bunch of projects started with Projectplace, however, most of them are created only to export the GANTT chart and display the timeline for the customers. That's what makes us stick with Projectplace.
  • Furthermore, Projectplace offers a range of great features, but it seems that most of them are designed for internal handling, and not so much for presenting for external parties.
  • ASANA - It's very limited since we can't illustrate GANTT charts in the same way as with Projectplace.
  • JIRA - Software heavy and not really for us as a customer-focused project department.
Since you can run both a SCRUM based project as well as a standard GANTT project, projectplace works well with software development as well as business projects. We've tried it with marketing efforts, but it hasn't been a success.
