Workzone Erfahrungen

Workzone Review

Kommentare: My overall experience with Workzone was good. It helped us in project and task management. It allowed us to transfer some tasks to another employee along with tracking their time to complete those tasks.

Vorteile:

Workzone has an excellent dashboard that gives all the important information you need to see on the front. Another good feature of Workzone is that it allows users to save their own project as a template.

Nachteile:

Workzone is a good tool for project management but with an outdated interface. It's user-interface needs to be updated. Also, sometimes there is a slight delay that occurs while updating the tasks.

Great Overall Project Management Tool

Kommentare: We use Workzone daily within our team to submit and track all marketing projects. As I mentioned, the tool is extremely user-friendly, and they are always adding new enhancements to make it even better. Compared to other project management tools that we've used in the past, WZ is by far the best!

Vorteile:

Workzone had all of the main features we were looking for in a project management tool. It is extremely easy to use, and the support team is excellent and always accessible. The system was easy to implement into our everyday processes.

Nachteile:

There is honestly nothing really negative I can say about Workzone to-date.

Could Have Been Better

Kommentare: The experience was OK but we decided to move to another application.

Vorteile:

The ability to list the tasks and reuse and upload templates from previous projects.

Nachteile:

The form piece of the application wasn't easy to use or create.

Great app with lots of support

Kommentare: Mentioned it above, but their support is really great. You get to know the folks who work there and even though we're not a huge client, we feel totally supported. That really helps with communicating ideas, asking for advice, and making it a useful tool for your company. You're meeting with folks who know their software and not some third-party service reading through a decision chart.

Vorteile:

I've toured a number of project management systems and it's surprising how many can't deliver what needs to get done. WorkZone does a great job at being a functional project management system. Our company needs a blend of project mgmt that is effective, yet not so robust its unwieldy, and WZ really fits the bill. It doesn't have some of the flashy features others might, but often those systems are super pricey, or don't work as advertised. WZ has plenty of features we don't utilize, so I don't mean to make it sound basic. But it works great for our team and does what it needs to, and well. Oh, also, they've been super supportive, great customer service, are continually adding new features, and open to feedback.

Nachteile:

I guess the biggest con is that there isn't an app (like for an iPad), but that's definitely not a deal-breaker. We tested other systems that offered apps and maybe looked prettier, but weren't functional when we kicked the tires. Another con might be that, at the start, it isn't super intuitive (like most new things), but it didn't take long to get your bearings. Again, once we were up and running, it's been really smooth and useful.

Great Project Management Tool for Creative and Managing Projects & Tasks

Kommentare: Easiest, most user friendly project management tool I've ever used.

Vorteile:

What I like most about Workzone is how easy it is to use - I've used a lot of Project Management tools in my career and Workzone is by far my favorite! Anyone in the organization can be introduced to Workzone and jump right in and start using it. Workzone provides very helpful and easy to understand instructional videos - which is a time saver when there is not a lot of time for formal training or demonstrations. With Workzone, you can upload all of your creative, have it reviewed and approved, and receive edits, feedback in one collaborative workspace. The reporting feature is fantastic with details and is easy to understand, which is helpful when communicating workload or project status updates. I like how you can create your own project template and save them to use for reoccurring projects without having to re-create the wheel each time! Also, there is something to be said about how SUPER easy timelines and tasks are to create! You can see your projects and tasks on a list, Gannt chart, and can even reference a calendar that will show your assigned tasks for the month, week, day or receive a daily or weekly project /task report straight to your inbox. Workzone provides the most visibility to help manage mine and my teams projects. The customer service is top notch with quick responses!

Nachteile:

The cons have more to do with our internal processes and how we can integrate Workzone features with those processes instead of with Workzone itself.

Cantu's review

Kommentare: It's been great so far. In comparison to when I first started my job until now. I have understood how to use it better for my job specificially.

Vorteile:

It's a valued tool that keeps track of our projects.

Nachteile:

There is nothing that I'm displeased with at the moment.

Love Work Zone

Kommentare: It is user friendly and easy to navigate.

Vorteile:

I like that I can see all my open projects and how successful they are.

Nachteile:

I don't have no dislikes about work zone.

Customer service is stellar

Kommentare: Our experience with Workzone has been stellar. From the initial trial period when we were exploring new PM systems, to our onboarding and training, to current customer service and regular check-in calls, the entire Workzone team has been amazing to work with. They work to find solutions, really listen and take feedback to heart, and work hard to customize the system to our individual needs.

Vorteile:

The training and onboarding process with Workzone was incredibly thorough, personal, and customized. The team that worked with us was attentive, quick to answer questions or troubleshoot, and made our transition feel easy compared to similar onboardings with other outside companies.

Nachteile:

Our team wishes that Workzone had some more high-end features for our project management needs, but we've been assured that those features are currently in development--our feedback really feels like it matters to them.

Everything I need to manage design projects

Kommentare: Overall, I've had a very good user experience with Workzone over the years. As mentioned, my favorite attribute is their customer service and their willingness to listen and improve their product based on user input. It almost feels like they've customized the product just for me. Also, we literally speak to them face to face through status and update calls or trouble shooting specific issues. No bots or automated calls here.

Vorteile:

With all the great tools that Workzone provides to help me manage multiple projects across different team members, the best thing I like about it is their customer support. They really care that you have success with their product and will work with you to maximize your experience as a user. They always ask for input on how to improve their product and they listen and actually do it!

Nachteile:

This is not necessarily a negative but there are so many tools available that it can be overwhelming sometimes. This also depends on your role and contribution to the shared project. As a designer, I only use the tools that are useful to me but it's nice to know that others can use other features that can help them manage their specific tasks.

WorkZone for project management, task management, time tracking

Vorteile:

Customer service and training support is awesome, very available and helpful.

Nachteile:

adding tasks is a simple step but after using other PM software, it's not a quick return to enter multiple tasks, so some use excel or other format and import for multiple tasks.

Workzone is a great tool!

Kommentare: I was able to jump in as a new user with ease. I have used other PM tools and that experience was very easy to translate to Workzone. I think it's important to make sure your team uses the tool in the same ways so that you can take full advantage of all the features Workzone provides.

Vorteile:

If you are someone who uses bullet journals and other similar to-do lists, Workzone is super intuitive and easy to use.

Nachteile:

My experiences with Workzone have been frictionless. I have no issues with the tool.

A lifesaver for teams needing a flexible and collaborative project management system.

Vorteile:

Workzone has many great collaboration features, such as file approvals, file markup, comment threads, and project and task responsibilities among many more. All of these contribute to a more efficient workflow, allowing our team to complete projects quickly. As we often has several open projects at a time, Workzone's robust filtering options also allow me to focus on only the projects that immediately require my attention, preventing information overload and burnout.

Nachteile:

While Workzone has plenty of amazing features, there are a few features I'd like to see expanded upon. Boards currently have to be tied to a Workspace. An "All Workspaces" Board could help organize tasks that span across multiple Workspaces. One minor feature I'd like to see added is the ability to change the Start or End Date filter to a custom number, instead of the preset 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, etc.

excellent software

Vorteile:

its really user friendly and very efficient and helps me to keep organised and on top of my business

Nachteile:

none this is an excellent product that i would definitely recommend

Why I love Workzone

Kommentare: Excellent! It had been needed for years in our department.

Vorteile:

Workzone has been the savior of project management for our department, which, ultimately, affects the entire college. It has meant accountability, improved time and project management, the ability for employees outside our department to request projects easily (and if not easily on their end, we help them navigate the process) and so much more.

Nachteile:

I have no problem with it. Once you learn it and you use it daily, like I do, it's simple! There are features, like dependents, that I don't use, but some features I probably haven't even tried yet, and I should try them. I really have no complaints. If I can't figure something out, I work on it myself or I ask Workzone for help, and they are very quick to respond.

Great Software

Kommentare: Workzone brought us out of the dark ages!! It has been a pleasure working with Workzone over the last 4 years, it has been an overall great experience!

Vorteile:

When we onboarded Workzone, we did not have a project management software. The integration was very easy, the software is very user friendly. I like the fact that when you check your task complete it notifies the next person in the timeline to start on their task. Workzone has also worked with us to help implement changes to help improve our business.

Nachteile:

One thing that we've discussed with Workzone is the lack of a financial tool within the software. We know this is a project management software, first and foremost, but having that tool would amplify the system.

A Lifesaver for Project Management

Kommentare: We have been using this tool for a long time and find it vital to our work processes. We use it more as a linear tool for each person to manage their tasks/assignments, and not so much for collaboration with outside parties, though it has that capability. As an administrator, it has been essential for tracking work across departments and to manage timelines. Technical support has been excellent and Workzone staff check in from time to time to learn what else we may need to do our work better. The software is constantly improving based on feedback so we know we are always getting the best product available.

Vorteile:

We like the ability to have all Creative Requests in one place, to identify assignments, and track their progress within the system.Communication is tracked within the software by project, so it is easy to track all comments related to the work. We do a very large volume of work each month and the metrics captured within the software are helpful to assess resources and workload.

Nachteile:

There are some reports that we would like that we cannot capture with this software. Also, workload tracking does not show the cumulative hours on a persons plate when projects are delayed and the hours are still tracked in previous weeks. It takes a bit to constantly update the timeline when items are stalled in reviews/approvals, but that will be the case with any project management software.

Great Tool for Busy Office!

Kommentare: I've been using WorkZone for more than five years and each year we find more uses! Our office runs so smoothly because WorkZone keeps each staff person on track! Thanks!

Vorteile:

We started using this for our design projects, but the longer we used it, we found this tracking system useful to track all of the projects we do. We enter our timelines for each event or activity and each staff can follow along and check off when their portion is done. This helps us keep our work flowing to completion.

Nachteile:

I think the WorkZone Team has thought of everything!

Workzone From A User Point of View

Kommentare: Overall, my experience has been positive. I can't really think of a negative, from my point of view. I'm a training specialist, and I develop and deliver training for the clients our project managers support.

Vorteile:

We use Workzone for managing multiple projects. It is an easy way to interact with clients and co-workers and keep all of the pertinent information in a single, accessible location.

Nachteile:

I really can't think of anything other than the fact that the expand and collapse feature on tasks seems to have changed to collapse only. I liked the ability to expand everything in a particular client's project in the past.

Workzone: The Professional Project Management Tool

Kommentare: Personally, I would definitely recommend Workzone if the price is not a problem, as it has many useful features and unlimited support and training.

Vorteile:

Workzone is a powerful project management tool that has many professional features like client management, collaboration tools, time tracking and resource planning. Workzone hits the sweet spot between simple and too complex project management tools as it provides just enough features for professionals to use easily, without being overly difficult to use. It is also very versatile and is able to mesh with many different types of businesses or teams. This is definitely a great plus for businesses who wish to deploy Workzone across different departments. Another really useful feature I’ve found is task dependencies. This is where you link two tasks together and if one cannot be started without completing the other. Finally, the support is truly incredible as you can contact the Workzone support team every weekday during working hours through email or phone. Furthermore, there is an extensive knowledge base on the Workzone website where you can learn through FAQ’s, webinars and videos.

Nachteile:

The biggest downside with Workzone is the hefty price tag of about $24-43 each user but this is somewhat justified because of the reliable support you receive and the unlimited training available for users. There is also a bit of a learning curve to Workzone but this is to be expected with project management tools but due to their many learning resources, Workzone is actually better than most.

Simple and clean Project Management Tool

Kommentare: Overall this is a good and simple project management software to have which can help to get your work done, though it lacks a lot of the fancy features that some fo the competitors provide.

Vorteile:

One of the simple and easiest project management tools to implement as this is web based. Quite intuitive , less cluttered and easy to use. Possess all the good features of MS Excel and MS Project, which have been nicely integrated into a nice simple layout. Allows to share documents and message across the team, good for collaboration. Sends email notifications for tasks and sub tasks which is an amazing feature to have.

Nachteile:

No apps support on Google play or Apple Store, but can open in most of the browsers and hence serves its purpose.

Fantastic customer service

Kommentare: The professionals at Workzone were always available to assist with one-on-one instruction, team instruction, prompt answers, troubleshooting, and solutions. By making the process and system easy to understand through a customized training video, we experienced a smooth launch to our campus community with a high adoption rate and positive feedback. This proved to be highly beneficial. Despite launching only a few weeks prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were able to work remotely without missing a beat and easily onboard new users.

Vorteile:

A project management system and a standard process for intaking design projects did not exist in our work environment prior to implementing Workzone. Workzone provided the structure we needed while being user-friendly. The dependencies and automated notifications allow for an efficient workflow and ensure projects are kept on track. The customer service is outstanding!

Nachteile:

Our team found the markup functionality to be cumbersome when there are numerous comments/edits as it's difficult to easily tie the comment to the markup on the proof. Fortunately, the folks at Workzone are open to suggestions and are working to improve upon this. The approval status can be confusing when there are multiple rounds because it retains the previous response and approval comment. From the perspective of the admin and contributors, navigation isn't always direct—you're not always taken to the correct project or folder, requiring more clicks to get to the correct place.

Workzone Review_08/17/2020

Vorteile:

It helps with daily project functions and let me know what other team members have on their desks. The Software Training is a 5-star item. This is so important because often people are left to figure things out on their own. Unfortunately in today's busy world if you don't reach out and physically tap someone on the shoulder and say "hello, ..." things get either overlooked or undiscovered. We don't use the software to the fullest and hope to expand of that this coming year.

Nachteile:

What I find a con is not on Workzone's part, it is on my companies management for not being able to expand additional members to use it. The cost is divided here in the US and overseas. It is a brilliant tool and should be used accordingly.

Essential tool for project management!

Kommentare: I have used several project management systems throughout my professional career and this is by far my favorite! It is simple to use and it has so many functions to fit your personal needs. I was very supportive of the switch to WorkZone!

Vorteile:

I like how projects are able to be organized at a high level, plus being able to track the progress of each project is a must!

Nachteile:

Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I think our team is still learning how to best use the features, but it has been a pleasant experience for our group thus far.

Love it!

Kommentare: I have been using Workzone for 6 years now and couldn't function without it. It keeps me organized and ensures that none of my projects fall behind. Not only are there graphic indicators when a project is in danger of falling behind, but the email notifications help ensure we stay on target and no items are missed. When I have an issue, or can't figure out how to do something, customer service is incredibly helpful and very very fast at responding! Such a great program and an amazing company that supports it!

Vorteile:

It is incredibly easy to use and takes about 2 minutes to train a new person on. Workzone is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Editing and customizing individual projects is incredibly easy. Reports are easy to create and customize and project info is searchable for those times that my memory fails me.

Nachteile:

There is a slight delay when updating tasks or saving new comments. This could be internet speed based though, so i'm not sure if its a valid "con"

WorkZone was the answer!

Kommentare: Our experience has been exceptional! The transition had to be put on hold and our representative was fantastic to work through our issues until we were ready to implement. I don't know how we managed our work flow without this product.

Vorteile:

Tracking multiple projects at various stages in the process.

Nachteile:

The cost can be prohibitive, especially in higher education.
