“Easy to set up and manage”
Pros
It is easy to set up, manage and use. The reporting features and main dashboard are excellent too and it works well for both traditional and agile project styles.
Cons
The report builder could be easier to use and include more ready-made templates. Plus I feel like the dashboard could also offer more flexibility in how it is set up and customized.

“Timeline and kanban tools are useful”
Pros
The timeline and Kanban tools are the most useful features for our team. As it provides a complete, long-term view for all project teams and members, creating a single access point for all project details and specific sections.
Cons
There is definitely a learning period to get comfortable with it. I had to restart my very first project several times before I got it right.

“Instantly accessible web service”
Pros
Since it is a web service, you can access it instantly without any complicated installation. The interface is also pretty user friendly, making it easy to explain even to less technical users. An experienced project lead only needs a quick briefing to get started. Plus most managers I have trained were up and running after just one hour and learned the rest through hands-on use. The dashboards for each portfolio and project also give upper management a clear, simple overview.
Cons
One of the biggest area for growth is in customization. Many settings like notifications and reporting, can only be changed globally. I'd also love more options for designing the visual layout of reports. But the platform is always improving as the last update added many new features. What I'd really find useful is a dedicated mobile app for managing tasks and checking project overviews.
