[sensitive content hidden] and the team were on-call almost 24/7 when we went live. The speed of response from the helpdesk is borderline miraculous. Cannot commend them enough. If things don't work - they'll fix it and you can't ask for fairer than that.

Pros

Resourcing is simple. Timesheet entry is so user friendly we have a weekly 98% compliance. The Exec Dashboard showing utilisation rates gives us the best data at a glance which can be sliced and diced in multiple ways. The PW team was more than willing to take any of our suggestions for tweaks and amendments and implement them. Some people have asked for an App but the on-line version is just as easy to use on your phone.

Cons

For our business we've had to be creative in the way we use the system to suit our needs. It invariably requires workarounds. Lots of things in development stage still and we're happy to wait on those.

I like working with Timecodes and Resourcing.

Cons

I like the staff assignment the least as there are certain areas for improvement.

Response from Spiderworks

In terms of staff assignment, we'd love to hear more about what could be improved. We have made changes to this so your issue may already be resolved.

The application is easy to configure and use, very intuitive. Excellent experience with the whole Projectworks team, very professional outfit. The migration over to Projectworks was painless.

Pros

Easy to use and configure, on point with project creation, time tracking, invoice generation and the ability to integrate with Xero

Cons

Not having the ability to create billing rate cards that are based on a specific time period (e.g. billing rate for a calendar year), when changes rates there is a bit of manual work required to have this flow through the project correctly.

Projectworks is by far the best timesheeting software I've used across every company I've worked at - but it is so much more than that. I know the other business areas within my company have their own needs that are met with Projectworks, and having it all rolled into one solutions makes life easier for everyone.

Pros

As a user of the software I like the way everything is hooked up for me. I have a limited view of the budget which allows me to know if a project overrunning its budgets. All of the project planning, timesheeting and leave requirements I have are easily met with this product.

Cons

Although there are many useful options and features, it isn't immediately clear what is available. There is a setting that I now find immensely useful, but for the first few months using this product I'd originally had the setting disabled, not knowing of its existence.

Response from Spiderworks

Thanks for the feedback, if you'd like an overview tour of the product, then please get in touch with your customer success manager and they'll be able to show you some things that might not be obvious from the start. Keeping an eye on our release notes is also a great way to find out about those little nice to haves that are added each week. Cheers!

Pros

Easy to see at a glance what you have worked on during the day/week/month, and able to drill down to individual projects. Good range of functionality on hand to apply for leave, expenses and reporting.

Cons

Would be nice to have the option of a different color scheme or text size

Response from Spiderworks

Thanks Joanne, while we won't be adding the options to change color schemes, as the whole product is responsive you should be able to zoom your browser and still have everything look great. If you find something that doesn't look right then please let the team know! Cheers

Our business involves managing an extensive range of products/projects, and managing the resources across these has always been complex. Projectworks give us the visibility we need at all levels.

Pros

The Projectworks team helped us onboard to the service, and once set up, our ability to monitor and manage our resources, projects, and budgets has increased dramatically.

Cons

There is so much to this service that it can take some time to become familiar. Fortunately, the Projectworks team is always very responsive when questions arise.

I like the general ease of use in terms of being able to quickly edit resourcing/forecasting for small projects

Cons

As projects get bigger, it becomes challenging to make uniform changes across several months or users (not a lot of "copy and paste" functionality)

Response from Spiderworks

We are a Staffing, Recruitment and Marketing agency with 9 companies operating in 5 geographies, 6 currencies and 250 staff. “We’re a small company, with big company problems.”Projectworks have helped us overcome a lot of these challenges

Pros

COST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION: -Projectworks have catered for almost everything we need ‘out of the box’, with no need for additional costly customization.-Migration timeline from approving the tool, planning, design, implementation, training and post project Q&A’s and amendments was 6 months. Significantly less than other migrations I’ve seen.ACCURATE BILLING & PAYROLL-Projectworks allows 1 person employed by company A to work on a project in company B within the same instance of Projectworks. This allows effective and efficient billing to clients and hours for payroll – albeit 2 separate companies, 2 currencies/geographies etc.-Contractors being paid multiple rates for different projects are dealt within Projectworks.DEBTORS MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVED CASHFLOW-‘Out of the box’ integration from 1 instance of Projectworks with multiple instances of Xero has been a big win with the migration. Having the ability to integrate invoices and payments to and from with a click of a button – giving 1 view and access point for debtors and streamlining debtors management globally.RESOURCING AT THE RIGHT TIME-Resource planning and forecasting of projects, rolling the data up to a company, client and organizational level (within the tool) caters for effective resource management ‘out of the box’.BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE-SQL access plugs into any Reporting tool (we use PowerBI) for easy Business Intelligence required from different stakeholders.

Our experience with Projectworks has been excellent. We received responsive, timely support throughout the migration period and the excellent support has continued as various requirements have arisen along the way.

Pros

Projectworks is a powerful project management system, and we are glad we decided to migrate to this platform. We previously used 2-3 different software platforms to achieve what we can now do using Projectworks alone. We are particularly impressed with the forecasting and resourcing features. The SQL back-end allows us to extract any type of report we need, which has proven to be incredibly useful.
The intuitive interface requiring minimal mouse clicks has made the transition super easy for our team.
It is exciting to see the regular updates released.

Cons

We required a variety of layout options for our client invoicing in Xero, and ProjectWorks have provided us with an excellent workaround. We are looking forward to having full Xero integration soon so we can benefit from the other integration features available when Xero talks directly to Projectworks.

Excellent engagement by the Projectworks team, always happy to help with explaining best usage (using the experience of other customers) creating custom reports and holding teleconferences at times which suit the customer (even with up to 13 hours time difference).

Pros

Excellent visuals from a team that knows what businesses need. It is easy to use and easy tio undertsand at all levels from a basic user to the Finance and Managing directors. Integration with Xero was a factor in our initial trawl for software and Projectworks was streets ahead of its competitors.

Cons

Forecasting is made easy, helps us to see how many free resourcing we have to take on new jobs and grow the company. This makes it easy for everyone to keep busy and keep them working.

Pros

By no means I am a worthy candidate to review this app, but it's been a very straightforward process with timesheets and managing your time. Finding projects is easy, and adding your time to them is easy. What would be beneficial is if we could see the section in each project that we add our time to. Resourcing tab is also very cool - helps us to predict forecasting with jobs well in advance.

Cons

If you made a mistake in the timesheet tab, its a matter of going a little back and forth with it, wished it was less cumbersome to do it, but it's easy nevertheless once you get the hang of it

Overall as a Project Manager, my experience has been positive and Projectworks has allowed me to find the information I need to monitor & control my projects and manage stakeholders' expectations.

Pros

My experience with Projectworks has been positive since day one. Projectworks is not only a great project management solution with powerful features, but the collaboration with the Projectworks support team also has been awesome. Since the roll-out, we have managed to customise the tool to fit our business needs and I am sure there is more to come.

Cons

In Projectworks you can create a schedule using the timecodes you have created, which every project manager loves :) An added bonus would be if the resourcing and schedule functionality would be linked to limit any double handling.

Recently Projectworks released an integration that allows team members to record time in Projectworks through Azure DevOps work items. We have requested the integration to deduct the recorded time from the 'remaining time' in Azure DevOps so in the future we can improve our Sprint performance and time recording efficiency for the team.

Reviewed on 2020/08/07

Pros

The resourcing and timesheets are great. Super easy to add and pin timecodes, find them, and ensure I'm resourced for projects. Leave and expenses are easy to do as well.

Cons

Some views get cluttered - it would be nice to expand and collapse buckets of times codes again. Also on the project description page, the forecasting tab is a little overwhelming and could be simplified.

Response from Spiderworks

Thanks Marc, we have been rolling the ability to show/hide columns, and choose your own grouping across the entire product. This will enable you to have all the information you need, but then reduce the clutter as well. Hope this helps!
