It would be great if I had the option to only see my files when I log in instead of everyones projects.

Certain aspects of the software gives a weird feel and have room for improvement.

Cons

Some technical glitches do occur, and the most frustrating one is when a project gets deleted on its own and it is always unclear how that happens. Sometimes, the activity log doesn't match the current project and shows information from the previous project, leading to time wastage and misinformation. Furthermore, there are instances when the activity log section doesn't offer the option to post a file or message, only providing file linking options.

Finding completed items can be challenging, especially since our team uses the system to varying degrees which makes it difficult to know where to find notes, statuses, etc.

Pros

All the features are very impressive, and the overall concept is well-thought-out and practical.

Unfortunately, some of the features in the new UI interface work quite slow. Improving their speed would be highly beneficial.

“Helps to manage projects

Pros

Having a centralized platform where all information and correspondence can take place is something we desired of and 5pm fulfilled that desire.

Pros

The capability to assign different roles to various users is highly beneficial.

Cons

There are instances when I can't log in on other computers, and I am not sure if it's a software error or an issue from my side.

Pros

It greatly contributes to keeping everyone organized, for the most part.

Cons

I've noticed that I've been missing a lot of email communication from 5pm. The new layout is confusing and not very user friendly.

“Makes Tracking Hours Easy!

Pros

I'm really impressed by the capability to group tasks and projects into different categories. We utilize these groups to break down each project according to different organizational entities. This makes it easy to track the hours dedicated to each group and identify which one consumes most of my time. Another highly valuable feature for me is the workload report, which allows me to quickly assess the number of projects I have within a specific time frame. For instance, in the next three weeks, I have a total of 29 projects to work on.

Cons

The Timeline feature is the only aspect that poses any issues for me. While the information it provides is useful, I find the task dragging capability too sensitive. However, this could also be due to my own user error.

“Finally - easy drag-n-drop Gantt charts for multi-project management

Pros

I searched a lot for software that would cater to the needs of a fast-paced consulting firm with remote employees which provides an easy overview of project progress and allow quick adjustments to timelines based on quick discussions with team members. Well my search ended on 5pm.

Cons

It would be great to have a few more customizable fields for more detailed sorting. Additionally, improved handling of non-project tasks would be beneficial. Lastly, having a CRM component would be a cool addition.

I absolutely love it! It serves its purpose perfectly, with its simple and well-designed interface.

Cons

It would be great to see some updates to the software. Other than that, I have no complaints.

“It doesn't take much to improve

Pros

The option of organizing of everything within the tab system is something I love, and the fact that the search box remains easily accessible at the top of the page, regardless of other functionalities I choose to use in the meantime.

Cons

The software has a outdated appearance, which makes it less comprehensible to me. However, I imagine the new beta interface is specifically designed to address this issue. Additionally, the report feature doesn't allow for viewing only a few selected projects as it's either all projects or just one.

“Organization

Pros

This software provides a centralized location for me and my clients to store all conversations and files related to our projects. If there are any questions, it is easy to refer back and review previous discussions or access relevant files. As a small company interacting with numerous individuals from larger organizations, it greatly helps in keeping everything organized and on schedule.

Cons

Personally, I haven't encountered any issues with the software.
