Netpoint pros and cons

Kommentare: My Overall experience with NetPoint and Net risk is very satisfying and i recommend it to my colleagues . However if you will release official step by step video lectures or tutorial it will be wonderful.

Vorteile:

1) User friendly interface 2) Good graphics

Nachteile:

1) If we can get an option to upload bulk activities and resources via excel through import button. 2) I know currently we have a PDF copy of user guide but if we can get a training tutorials for each and every topic it will do wonders. I have seen people trying to avoid the software because of lack of video tutorials for example on youtube.

Useful tool but poor customer service

Vorteile:

It's a useful and simple scheduling tool. Quick to get on hand.

Nachteile:

Poor customer service. There's no response for license activation email. I left messages on the website, but still no follow-up. It took us more than 3 months to finally have it activated.

Net point is a good tool for Interactive Planning sessions & High level planning

Kommentare: For interactive planning sessions, it gives more convenience than P6. I tempt to prefer it over other tools during high level planning workshops.

Vorteile:

1. Drawing timeline representation of activities is easier 2. Participants are convenient understanding the logic thats being built in a sequence 3.

Nachteile:

1. Navigating among different Fragnets is difficult 2. Zooming in & out could be even better 3. upon inserting a rectangle (specifically), re-shaping it by dragging it from corners is a difficult task. Could be smoother 4. Printing a specific portion of the canvas by selecting could be made available 5. Activity description could have auto fit option

What are you waiting for?

Kommentare: I have used NetPoint for claim analysis, extensions of time determinations, and arbitration proceedings. Nothing convinces non-schedulers more clearly than a real scheduling program that functions with the simplicity of a visual bar/gantt chart. Critical paths change over time. It is difficult to prove/trace the history of the critical path especially if the schedule is not updated properly. Need to show the critical path left of the data date? Only NetPoint can do this. Non-schedulers don't care about the complexity of the calculations. I use NetPoint to tell the story of how events really happened and measure the reasonable impact of delays. NetPoint will not allow the operator to perform shenanigans with activity relationships.

Vorteile:

It's easy to get started with NetPoint. When you go down the rabbit hole to figure out how every feature works, that's when the power of NetPoint will truly become apparent.

Nachteile:

Schedulers by nature are people with OCD tendencies. The display scaling on ultra high resolution monitors needs to be fixed. I'd like to see a refreshed and more polished user interface / GUI. The node control size of objects is limited to small, medium, large..this drives me nuts sometimes. I'd like more options to control the size formatting of objects. I would also like the Global Edit mode to keep things in place when I close the file, sometimes my edits violate various text/attribute placement parameters...this drives me nuts too. Overall if I leave these features at their default settings, its ok. I don't use printing features...cause they're not that great. I use Take Snapshot, bump up the width option, and save to file.
