Projectworks Reviews

“Easy to use with regular updates from the Projectworks team

Pros

I found ProjectWorks to have a nice, straightforward user interface, making it easy for everyone in our team to log time and manage leave efficiently.

Cons

I have noticed that the Help topics could use an update. Sometimes, it is challenging to locate information.

“Many "wow this is powerful" moments....

Pros

As a rapidly growing organization, we needed a solution to scale effectively. After exploring various options, we chose ProjectWorks, primarily for its seamless integration with Xero and efficient timesheet management.

Cons

I find it convenient to handle parent-child projects with Projectworks. While it allows tracking separate budgets and time within a project, I am eagerly waiting for the upcoming feature to track resourcing by budget, expected in late 2023.

“Great Project Management Software - Highly recommend

Pros

What struck me most about ProjectWorks is its user-friendliness. Our staff quickly embraced it and found it instrumental in project management, especially in tracking budgets. From effortless timesheet entries to streamlined leave requests and approvals, every feature is designed for ease. And the responsive support team adds to the positive experience.

Cons

I wish there was an option to set a billable cost rate for clients, which is currently our only gripe with the software.

“ProjectWorks for Professional Services Software Businesses

Pros

It excels in capacity management, providing unparalleled visibility into resource allocation and project margins.

Cons

Certain processes in Projectworks feel manual and clunky, like deleting projects or grouping reporting. It only offers two levels of grouping, team and organization, while I'd prefer more granular options.

“You can be creative with Projectworks

Pros

Resourcing could not be simpler with ProjectWorks, boasting a user-friendly timesheet entry system that ensures exceptional compliance rates. The executive dashboard provides invaluable insights at a glance, with customizable views.

Cons

We have had to get creative with Projectworks to tailor it to our needs, often resorting to workarounds. We are patient, knowing many features are still in development.

“Great Solution

Pros

I found ProjectWorks incredibly easy to use and configure. It hits the mark with project setup, time tracking, invoicing, and seamless integration with Xero.

Cons

Not being able to create billing rate cards based on specific time periods requires manual adjustments when rates change, affecting project flow.

“Great Package

Pros

ProjectWorks perfectly encapsulates everything we sought in a job management platform, presenting it in a clear and understandable manner.

Cons

While there are a few missing features, none have posed significant obstacles for us.

“Great interface and range of features for professional services

Pros

ProjectWorks emerges as a great tool for efficiently managing resources across multiple projects, offering powerful capacity and utilization views.

Cons

Reporting in Projectworks could be more sophisticated but is steadily improving.

“I use Project Works for its transparency.

Pros

The entire software is very easy to use and intuitive. The interface is well developed and requires almost no training to get accustomed to. All of our staff find it incredibly straightforward to use and find metrics at the press of a button. It keeps updating regularly so we know whatever data is being entered is current and happens in real-time. It offers greater accountability and any mistake can be corrected immediately rather than discovered them once the entry is complete. The support team is excellent at answering all our questions.

Cons

Reporting should be improved quite a lot. I really appreciate that they did it differently and surely put effort behind it, but it is still difficult to use since I do not have proper technical skills like coding. If nothing, there should at least be an “easy mode” for people like me. Project works have amazing analytics on screen, however, it can be difficult to share these in a different manner other than my screen. Sending it to any other screen messes up the formatting much like MS word.

“Amazing Platform - Easy to Implement and Use

Pros

Designed specifically for consulting firms, ProjectWorks streamlines project and expense management, revenue forecasting, and utilization reporting across engagements.

Cons

I have yet to encounter a feature in Projectworks that I dislike.

“Big or small, local or multi-national

Pros

The simplicity and modern interface of ProjectWorks offer greater visibility into project performance, enabling swift responses to issues. Integration with Xero and Jira completes the solution for seamless time entry, invoicing, and payment processes.

Projectworks has made strides in improving reporting capabilities, but there's still room for enhancement.

“Projectworks woks for me

Pros

When we discovered ProjectWorks, I was immediately impressed. The Project Reporting & Metrics feature allows us to delve deep into the system. While there's a good library of reports, ProjectWorks also allows custom reports.

My experience with ProjectWorks has been positive from day one. Not only is ProjectWorks a great project management solution with powerful features, but the collaboration with the support team has also been excellent, we have customized the tool to fit our business needs since the rollout and I am sure there is more to come.

Cons

Projectworks allows project managers to create schedules using timecodes, which is highly appreciated. It would be even better if the resourcing and scheduling functionalities were integrated to minimize redundancy. Recently, an integration was released allowing team members to record time through Azure DevOps work items. We have requested further integration to improve Sprint performance and time recording efficiency.

Pros

Viewing current and projected margins has been wonderful, and being able to see forecasted income helps us strategically plan our next steps for further growth.

Pros

It stands out for its simplicity, intuitive interface, and real-time metrics accessibility. The support team's responsiveness adds to its appeal.
