WorkOtter Erfahrungen

10/10 Would Recommend to Fellow Project Managers!

Kommentare: Choosing WorkOtter was a fantastic decision. Their knowledgeable and non-pushy sales team, straightforward pricing, and efficient 30-day implementation plan ensured a smooth setup process. From sales through to support, everyone has been exceptional, making our experience enjoyable and hassle-free..

Vorteile:

It seamlessly syncs with JIRA, Microsoft Office 365, and Excel, offering robust features like interactive Gantt charts, customizable reports, and mobile accessibility for streamlined productivity.

Nachteile:

I really don't have any complaints since I've started using it.

Increasing my Productivity and Communication with team members

Kommentare: One of the best choice I made in implementing and investing on it for my business

Vorteile:

Team members are easily tracked by them giving report on the task they are assigned to before the deadline

Nachteile:

Noting... the experience with them has been the best so far

Comprehensive project management tool for all project phases

Vorteile:

The ability to plan a project to a very detailed or very simple level with all options in between. Very adaptable to the level of planning a particular product needs.

Nachteile:

Single-currency. For international projects it would be very impactful to be able to see fiscal amounts in currencies used, rather than having to manually calculate outside the systems.

Unparalleled Efficiency!

Kommentare: Amazing! The support staff was highly knowledgeable and never pushy, and they didn't burden us with excessive questions to get started.

Vorteile:

WorkOtter has been an absolute blessing for me as an Accounts Manager and member of a Marketing project management team. The easy-to-build and configure dashboards have allowed me to create a customized workspace that displays the most crucial information for tracking my projects and resources. I liked the resource management and capacity planning features since that let's me set up and view things through my preferred lens. I get a few extra hours of more work done this way and I'm able to keep my projects better on track. I don't really use the iOS and Android mobile view features, but it's still a nifty little nice-to-have feature to have on the go. I imagine it'll come in pretty handy for responding promptly to any urgent matters (although the software works well enough for me that I don't think I'll have much use for it).

Nachteile:

Working seamlessly so far so absolutely no complaints. Took some wait time to get things up and running but that was really down to us having to switch over our systems well enough to make sure we're getting the best out of the new one as advised by their team.

A new way to work.

Kommentare: From the very start I found it easy to get information about pricing options and features. What really ended up selling us on WorkOtter was that they offer a 30-day implementation plan, which is essentially a period in which they help get everything set up for the company and walk you through doing the things you need to do for the business. This was done with very detailed instructions and almost felt like they were ready to hold my hand through the process. I think some of my coworkers really needed it more than I did. Even after that 30-days had ended we found that their support staff were very knowledgeable and helpful when we ran into trouble, even though much of it was just user error on our end.

Vorteile:

Everything about the website is easy to view and customize in a number of ways. Even the more advanced features are made easy to use. It can import from some of the older methods you might have been using, such as Excel. In the case of Microsoft projects syncing, it works both ways, so you do not have to immediately make a full switch if you have already been using that as changes will sync between the two in real time. This has been a serious bonus for my team. Attachments can be added to comments, threads, and projects. You can even respond to comments directly through the email notifications and it will show up in WorkOtter. I think we are talking about how this can be implemented for direct correspondences with contractors and customers for my organization but that has yet to be determined.

Nachteile:

I have not really found any cons I can attribute directly to the website. The change has been a little bit off-putting to some of my coworkers, but since we previously used Microsoft Projects for much of this we have been able to easily sync everything between the old and new methods, so people can transition little at a time and at their own pace for the most part.

WorkOtter cuts above!

Kommentare: Excellent, I couldn't be happier with this software

Vorteile:

WorkOtter is affordable and thinks of everything for you. It's visual functions are also fantastic! It was easy to get started and simple to adapt around my work. It's task management features allow me to contact staff who don't even need to be logged in and it even sync Microsoft documents. It's automation across dashboards and reports, is incredibly time saving! It also has unlimited storage, what's more to love.

Nachteile:

I haven't found any cons for WorkOtter - it's really perfect.

So detailed and innovative! Definitely a rising star in the Project Management industry!

Kommentare: It's been wonderful! The system has all of the necessary features that each user needs to successfully complete their tasks and projects while still being able to handle sudden changes and adjustments. Very smooth transition.

Vorteile:

The platform is so interactive and capable! The ability to sync from Excel is so helpful, and the fact that you can do it with ease at the click of a button is incredible. But, the most impressive feature was the ability for WorkOtter to give real-time projections of hypothetical scenarios. Absolutely brilliant!

Nachteile:

Nothing yet! All of the features are relevant and proactive.

Excellent delivery

Kommentare: I loved the overall experience actually because I'm able to carry out some task that other softwares can't get done

Vorteile:

I love the dashboard section on workOtter because I can see all I need to see in one place without having to scroll over and over again

Nachteile:

the various section organization is looking too congested which can be improved upon

Effective project management with some areas for improvement

Kommentare: My overall experience with this platform has been positive. It delivers on its promises by delivering effective portfolio, project and resource management, especially for budget-conscious PMOs. The features are comparable to other more expensive options on the market.

Vorteile:

What I liked most about this platform is its elegant and easy-to-use interface, along with its many useful functions for project and resource management, but that is why it is especially appreciated how it allows companies to establish roadmaps and balance the supply and demand of resources. Next-generation collaboration with team members is another strength, and automating reporting becomes a simple and effective task.

Nachteile:

What I liked least about this platform is that it sometimes gets a little slow, which can affect efficiency so I think the stability could be improved as I experienced some minor issues in that regard.

Review of WorkOtter

Vorteile:

WorkOtter provides the platform to communicate with peers who are running late on projects. There is a good reporting system for any type of project scope.

Nachteile:

Sometimes WorkOtter appears to be slow. The app's internal efficiency can be faster as there seems to be lags which can slow down progress.

Incredibly interactive, illustrative, imaginative & engaging. Love it!

Kommentare: I would say 'WOW '! My experience was really great. It was far more intuitive that I expected. For even an employee of mediocre knowledge, any of our personnel would be able to get up to speed with this very quickly. So our employees wouldn't need to spend an exorbitant amount of time in training.. The reporting is truly amazing & advanced. For example, when you click on the ‘reports’ dropdown, there are so many great reports to choose from, depending on what our managers are desiring that particular day. This for me is really key. And from what I can tell so far, they are very visually appealing as well (high color, dashboard animations, seeing multiple metrics on the same dashboard, how data bubbles change over time, etc). Overall, I am very pleased with the aesthetics & ease-of-use.

Vorteile:

I absolutely love that I would have the ability to see different views within the company (ie. Organization overview vs. Project Manager vs. Team Member).. Really nice! I am big on reporting as this is my particular role within my company now, so I LOVE that you have a ‘financials’ & ‘reports’ section to be easily found under the “projects” tab. It also appears to be nicely customizable, to change font and/or add in our Logo. The drag-between feature to create dependencies is probably something I would utilize as well. So far it appears to be VERY intuitive & user-friendly. (ie. Can easily extend out a project end-date) And since I mentioned I am big on reporting, I also am happy to hear that there is a 2-way sync with importing from Excel. PERFECT! Our team uses Asana quite heavily, & it looks like the Kanban board is very similar for work flow, so that seems like it would be very easy to utilize. I have 11 years of background in WallStreet, so I really love the ‘x-ray’ vision in the Roadmap area. Being able to see excess capacity is really amazing too to watch over personnel, & being able to try out the ‘what if scenarios’ is quite impactful.

Nachteile:

So far, I have not found anything I do not like. I am big on reporting, & this program has everything I could ask for. Truly

We Have Found Our Project/Resource Management Home!

Kommentare: No surprises and the implementation was as promised..30 days!

Vorteile:

The feature I like most is the "sandbox" for my "what if" scenarios... I am able to project in more ways and more accurately with a click and a drag!

Nachteile:

The software is intuitive but with covid, our team took a little while to get up to speed... Not really the software's fault.

You have to check out this project management software

Kommentare: Nick always answer my question in a timely manner. Over all experience is very nice and pleasant

Vorteile:

The software is a very good tool for Project Management. Not only you can collaborate easily with team members, it also gives you different options to present the graph and show to members and leaders. My favorite is the Portfolio Planning report. It gives you a report of resource time and the amount they invested for each project. It also convert projects to word, pdf, etc

Nachteile:

Security feature to be determined. I work for a healthcare company and deals a lot with PHi.

The best new all in one working space and product management space hands down!

Kommentare: They have flexible plans that help users like the "30 day implementation plan" that help setup the software quick and easy, along with expanding licenses and plans they ensure everything is proper with no additonal charges and pressure. Support team is great which made the whole transitioning process into the software so much easier.

Vorteile:

I loved the fact that everything is very easily accessible and very easy to navigate. It syncs with microsoft and also very customizable because there are ways to configure and customize display - which is great for people who have very distinct ways of working. The dashboards are easy to configure and you can also share with a team space which is also very easy to have collaborate. There are ways you can view the software on IOS and android. For people who work with serveral portfolios and work with a lot of product management workotter is very very useful. It is heavily stacked with so many features, very accessible and a great great price for all of this.

Nachteile:

Everything has been great so far. There are many features to get through which may seem overwhelming but just like any platform/tool you get the hang of it and can work your way around it. Especially because you can customize it your own liking. No complaints so far.

Super intuitive software that has made project management a breeze

Kommentare: flawless

Vorteile:

I like how simple it is to use as well as the intuitiveness of features. Other project managers I have introduced to this software have exclaimed how they love it as much as me

Nachteile:

No cons so far, it has bee a joy to use and I look forward to working with WorkOtter in future

A comprehensive solution for project management professionals

Kommentare: The team are extremely knowledgeable and I am confident that they can provide great support

Vorteile:

Manage Gantt charts with ease, I love that workotter adapts quickly when changing the date on one dependency, quickly providing you with a visual representation of the project timeline. There are many other interactive features that make this a joy to use

Nachteile:

Although it takes a bit longer to set up than our current provider the increase in efficiency and features on offer make it worth the time spent

Project management software that has increased efficiency

Kommentare: Everyone we have worked with has been extremely professional and helpful from sales to implementation to support

Vorteile:

frictionless and easy to use, this is able to save time in managing projects where other software fails

Nachteile:

Getting used to the different options and tools available took a bit longer but the increase in efficiency is worth the effort

WorkOtter - Providing New and Exciting Innovations for Project Management!

Kommentare: The team at WorkOtter has been fantastic. Every team member I have worked with has been helpful, and the implementation time was less than 30 days which is amazing. I did not feel pressured to expand beyond my immediate needs at this time, and overall am really thankful for the great experience the staff has provided.

Vorteile:

This product has been extremely easy to use. The first feature that I have found the most useful is the main dashboard, which utilizes an easy-to-read graphic interface to provide me with real-time data on a variety of project variables. I am able to quickly filter and view projects that need my critical attention, which helps to direct my day in a more efficient manner. The second feature that I love is the ability to source dashboards and reports from open community sources. This software provides a wide variety of new and innovative ways of understanding and staying on track of my project's resource allocation needs, which is a huge plus in my day-to-day workload.

Nachteile:

I have not yet found anything so far that I dislike about the software. So far it has met my needs and is a great addition to my PM tools.

Working productively - Easier Done!

Kommentare: When I needed assistance, I got just that. No runaround, no leading, straight answers, and confirmations. As I've stated, you will have to take some time to learn the program but it's for the benefit of alleviating management tasks. Have questions, you can always call customer service to fulfill any lingering questions/doubts. I'm more than happy with my experience and I relaying my appreciation to others has provided others with the same positive experience!

Vorteile:

Ease of access is something every project manager, team, boss, or client, looks for in much of the planning process. Provided within the Excel Spreadsheet, helping to better utilize WorkOtter, are different resources which enable easier accessibility. As a project manager, efficiency is something I'm always looking for, without having to go through the hurdles of worrying about maintaining organization. The WorkOtter forecasts enable me to see the efficiency/productivity of different departments/projects within the company without having to recreate the wheel. It also allows me to see how different members of the team are keeping up with responsibilities – effectively managing productivity all at once – and keep track of workload. Certain projects will burden team members, but it’s difficult to assess without a system that provides that resource and WorkOtter provides the analyses to highlight areas of need be it hiring new staff or contracting. I can use the resource management and capacity features to increase productivity while also enabling the Open API's to connect with other systems. Data collecting on WorkOtter allows for presumptive planning by stretching projects out to better visualize productivity of tasks. The project timeline keeps managers focused on what’s coming up, what’s overdue, and what’s been completed. It’s more than just a list of dates but a visual tool that is color-coded and for those who want to move from the usual, basic, calendar and date method.

Nachteile:

Getting started can be a little overwhelming. There are a lot of features and it takes a bit of time to get comfortable with the platform. I had to sit down and study it in order to feel truly comfortable and this is something that could get in the way for others who aren't apt to figuring things out on their own.

User Friendly and very effective PM software

Kommentare: Satisfied to choose WorkOtter as our Project Management software. Developed exactly according to the needs of Project managers. Organizing our tasks were not been as smoother as these are now with the help of this Software. WorkOtter seems like a member of our team which supports us in an incredible way.

Vorteile:

WorkOtter has provided us an opportunity to get control over our complex tasks. Organization of tasks is extremely simple in the software. The software is highly user friendly and doesn’t require hours and hours of training to get used to it. Perfect software for scheduling and communication. As a PC I am always updated on the project, it takes few moments to have a check on the activities of my colleagues. Integration of files is easy on to the online database. Easy execution of sharing and uploading files saves time. Assigning taks to members has become so convenient with WorkOtter. 2 way synchronization with JIRA is an additional benefit. The interface is aesthetically designed which is soothing to eyes. The level of customization in the software made me feel empowered and that is what you need as a PC. Lastly, it is affordable and the amount of benefits it entails definitely makes it worthy to use.

Nachteile:

Until now the software is working pretty fine. There are no major glitches which we have encountered. Initially, some very minor concerns appeared because it was a new software for us however, the more we are using it, we are getting familiar with the software. I think due to its high customization we are unable to find any major drawback so far.

The BEST software for resource management

Kommentare: Our firm started using WorkOtter as we were having a lot of trouble specifically managing internal time and resources and sharing information. WorkOtter has really allowed us to see the big picture with our scheduling and quickly identify phases where we are overallocated. We are now much more efficient and leveling our resources and forecasting, thanks to all of the useful tools and dashboard KPIs we can easily track.

Vorteile:

WorkOtter has been a huge game-changer for me with regards to managing resources on multiple complex projects. I am now managing my project teams much more effectively and have been able to forecast much more accurately. I also LOVE the Gantt Charts, much easier to use, make changes, and I'm no longer pulling my hair out like I was with Microsoft Project.

Nachteile:

I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about it!

Make the devs give it back!

Kommentare: Overall: This is a thoughtfully designed platform, particularly for technical project management, no matter your team member's individual skill set. WorkOtter is an absolute slam dunk in my office

Vorteile:

Pros: The WorkOtter interface provided an intuitive project macro overview and more granular detail than I should be allowed. For my dollar, it provides the most intuitive PM Software for staff of all technical skill levels.

Nachteile:

Cons: I'm slightly annoyed that everyone in the office now wants to get their grubby mitts on my cool new project management software. Otherwise, no complaints so far.

WorkOtter: A Dream come true for every Project Managers

Kommentare: It was a wonderful and satisfying experience with WorkOtter. I must admit there were challenges but their 30 days implementation plan really worked wonder. We were never worried because the support teams were really knowledgeable and were there to support us until we have successfully have deployed the system.

Vorteile:

One thing that I really liked about Workotter is the way how we can customize the displays. It gives Project Managers a lot of flexibility to customize the dashboard into his own style. It offers simple and a very easy way on how to create your own custom menu, where you can assign your own categories and reports. This saves a lot of time getting the right information or data that you want. Truly, this is one of the strong assets of Workotter. Another great thing about WorkOtter is their support team. they have answered my queries in the fastest manner and more importantly they are friendly. They have handled all of my queries during the 30 days implementation and so far I am more than satisfied with their support.

Nachteile:

As per evaluation, so far we are very happy with Workotter. Though, we encountered some challenges setting it up, but all of those are just minor concerns that has been fixed already. The experience so far has been great. They have an amazing support that helps us set our business up and running. We know we made the right choice with Workotter.

Amazing experience!

Vorteile:

I dont really have great deal of experience when it comes to sofware as the non-profit I am working for doesnt really need a software implementation however my experience with WorkOtter has been great! I have noticed that it is very easy to use if you have expertise in PM tools on the other had if you are a beginner it is definetely easier to learn than other PM tools I've tried to learn. I genuinely would love to learn how to use Workotter fully as it seems very efficient and effective in desion making process. Easy customizability as well as features that enable users to edit,build their own dashboards and reports and share them with others help projects run flawless and smooth.

Nachteile:

So far so good! I loved every feature about this software as it is really interactive and very customizable which makes projects more fact-driven.

Stanley Osei-Bonsu Review

Kommentare: The 20 years of experience of providing such services is clearly visible. The customer service is second to none and staff are on hand and assigned to help the client immediately to implement their expectations.

Vorteile:

I was really ingrained with the new non-static visualisations. They provide a clearer insight into exactly the status of any given projects and its stats. Such a phenomenon greatly helps all stakeholders to make immediate critical business decisions with all relevant data in a motion view instead of static. Another feature I liked the most was the ability to see the resource workload especially in calculating how many hires are needed for each role. Such a tool is invaluable to guide any firm to achieve their future roles plans and even to aid employee performance reviews and incentives.

Nachteile:

There seems to be a lot of things happening on the tabs which seems quite overwhelming. It suggests the software is complicated and will need an orientation over a few days to get to grip with us. I suggest the overall interface outlook be modified into an app icon like approach as seen with mobile apps.
