Pros
Easy of use of the Gantt and Work Load, even if some other things are not really UX friendly or intuitive...
Cons
Sometimes is not clear how to perform some tasks, Customer service is very straight and I feel they do not listen to the customer needs on specific issues, then they reply very plain.
Easy to use product hits all the top needs
Overall, Celoxis has really helped our business streamline processes and reporting. Time and task tracking is easier and more transparent to project managers and clients, and reporting is much less time intensive than our previous methods. I have been very pleased with the software and the customer service each time an issue is raised.
Pros
I like that the interface is very user friendly. I also like that the reports are customizable. We have been able to integrate a lot of reporting into Celoxis that was previously done using Excel or a similar program. Celoxis is able to collect all of our data and organize it effectively, thus ensuring we don't have to go to a lot of extra work to manipulate the data into the reports we want to see.
Cons
The new interface isn't as useful for me as the previous one. It works better for my resources, but as an admin, it seems less friendly than before. Namely, the drop downs and options available under Reports and other areas are not as customizable. I liked having my full list of starred reports available previously, whereas now I find myself accessing the full 'All Reports' page more frequently to navigate. I mainly use reports in the system to it was more convenient to have only my preferred ones all listed in one place.
Great Software for IT Projects
Overall, the product is stable and reliable. I only had one issue after an update a little over a year ago, where I had entered my time on my mobile device, and I had found that it wasn't there when I had logged onto my desktop version.
Pros
The great part of this software is the ability to update information in the Gantt chart as needed. It also gives you accurate percentage of project tasks per user and accurate percentages in what has been completed against the project deadline, which is very useful in Technical Services.
Cons
I still wish that once a task or project status is "completed", the timers would be deleted as well. In our company, we have many projects with many tasks, thus one can have multiple timers, and that adds up! It can take (waste) much time in deleting timers, so having the timers "go away" when a task is completed would be very useful.
A project management platform at its finest
I'm a project engineer at a manufacturing and engineering design firm and I use Celoxis more than daily. It can take few days to learn, but once you have it down it is by far the best platform I've ever used to manage projects. It is useful for project engineers and all the way up to senior management to manage small projects, programs, and employees. It really is an all-in-one product and I highly recommend it.
Pros
Frequent updates and bug fixes
Inter-facility coordination
Seamless timeline creation and management
Hours tracking and analysis for large groups of people
Cons
I have no cons. In the past year, Celoxis has fixed all the problems I originally had with it (mainly bugs).
It's Good
Pros
It is fairly easy to understand and use.
Cons
You do not have much control over the views you can create. That is to say, there was information I wanted to add to a view that I couldn't, or I couldn't organize a report in a manner I wanted to.
The perfect balance between ease-of-use and power
A few years back, we took the time to try a number of PM tools. The most easy to use solutions offered poor features, and the most powerful ones were very difficult to implement and run on a day-to-day basis. We ended up opting for Celoxis which significantly improved our workflow and keeps our projects under full control. Give it a (free) try!
Pros
The balance between ease-of-use and power.
Cons
As a design agency, we feel that the interface could be improved.
Fully featured, intuitive software
I've used Celoxis for managing multiple publishing projects at once. The features for both the project manager and project resource are straightforward and exactly what we need. The Celoxis team continues to introduce new features with every version and builds an easy-to-use product. The customer service has always been helpful whenever I've had a question or issue.
Pros
Ease of user interaction, customer support, customizability of reports and tracking
Excellent product that has ease of use and complexity
I have been using this product for two years and it meets need I didn't even know I had! My company has adopted it globally and Celoxis has a super responsive support team.
Pros
Great project management and business intelligence tool
Cons
Could do with better filtering for regional use.
More field options for filtering & grouping across all reports.
A great tool for your money...
It is great, we really like it!
Pros
once you learn how to use it, it become your right hand!
Cons
I would like phone support instead of using email...
Great for enterprise project tracking
Very Good, Love it
Pros
Good multi project resource planing software.
Cons
No chance to edit a mistake. Can't go back.

Celoxis- Great experience so far
Overall we are managing large scale facility and research projects with the tool. We are still learning to utilize its full functionality, but it has been incredibly helpful to the on site engineering teams.
Pros
Web based application that incorporated scheduling, cost, risk management and reporting. Reports are easily developed and customized. You can imports schedules from MS Project or excel files. there is clear tracking and recording of who makes changes to the projects. You can customize client views (different from operational PM views).
Cons
Entering cost data is not straightforward.
Comprehensive
Pros
I think that this tool have many function that no more doesn't have. It is a smooth operation and flexible.
Cons
Little to confusing at first but after that it is simple to use.Sometimes celoxis hard to use and slow.
User friendly
very good.
Pros
User friendly and very easy to handle, time and cost saving.
Cons
non compatibility in mobile.
build an app to enter the data through a mobile application
After the use of mac based Gantt planning app, searching an online app with calendar sync : Celoxis!
Publications of the project tasks cleanly on each of our team member google calendar.
Pros
Gantt edition is at its top, calendar publication is reliable, ergonomy is quite enjoyable, and at the top, you have a present customer service, which reactive for a feature we were missing (separate publications on vcal, distinguishing projects from tasks and events). That feature is to be coming, but such reactions are really enjoyable.
Cons
Name is not easy to remind, as it as no link either to Gantt, tasks, projects or something like that. That may have unserved its developer a bit. Really, not much to add here : think of it like a nice to use (dapulse, basecamp...) with omniplan or MS Project features. Yep.
Good Software
Pros
Easy to use. Simple to learn and teach others how to use.
Cons
No undo button. No ability to copy + paste resources from tasks to tasks.
Nice, simple concept that needs polishing
Would be nice to have a way to change the state of an app item through API
Pros
Simple concept all around (set up, general usage, reports, creating apps)
Smooth operation with API query
Cons
Plenty of minor bugs when installed in Windows Server, though they don't affect the overall operation of the system
Needs more thorough and accurate documentation
Improving constantly
Pros
The UI is clean and improving constantly. Time bookings are simple and with support from my seniors not at all laborious.
Cons
The UX needs improvements, the flows are confusing and menu structures are often complex. I get very frustrated with the position of buttons on the screens and organisation of the timesheets.
Fantastic!
Pros
My company has recently started to take off and we are now managing multiple projects and portfolios simultaneously, and with the rapid growth it has been a challenge to keep everything organized. I decided to ditch my age-old time keeping tool and started using Celoxis and I couldn't be happier! The resource utilization and capacity planning features have made it feature has made it incredibly easy to make smarter resourcing decisions across all of our projects. I also love the fantastic visibility of this platform which allows me to spot potential labor and revenue issues that before would have gone unnoticed. Celoxis is incredibly user friendly, and if for some reason you ever run into trouble, there is amazing customer support that will help you through anything you need.
Cons
Integration could be stronger for calendar and events. Currently I can only export my events to Outlook.
Celoxis has many customizable features and works well for our mid-size agency
Celoxis has more features than we know what to do with. We are able to pull data, create custom views/reports, and fine-tune this program any way we see fit. We have a team of about 20, so a relatively small agency and each of our team members have found Celoxis easy to use and easy to modify to fit their needs.
At first it was a bit of a sensory overload as they say, with so many boxes and options it was overwhelming. However, once you create a dashboard that clearly displays the info you need, Celoxis becomes much more manageable.
For the most part, the Celoxis team is responsive when you encounter any problems or troubleshooting. It is nice to be able to reach them 24/7 and get a prompt response.
Overall, Celoxis fit our agency's needs very well. We are able to track our time, send out invoices, and see our sales pipeline all with one program. Before Celoxis, we had to use a separate document or website or tool for each task. Celoxis has absolutely streamlined our process and the way we communicate as a team.
Probably the most comprehensive and easy to use project management product
Positive in all aspects
Pros
Easy to use
All PM aspect in the bouquet
Accessible from anywhere
team/client engagement
Cons
Dashboard flexibility
granularity of the tool
lack of native mobile/tables app
collaboration could be enhanced
Celoxis and the Professional Services Consultant
I am professional services consultant managing 15-25 projects at a time and contributing on 10-15 tasks for other colleagues per week. I find Celoxis an easy tool to manage my tasks and workflow. The dashboards are great and I like the ease of time entry as compared to Salesforce.
Pros
Because all consultants use Celoxis it has become a great resource for information. You can quickly search for documents, projects, status updates. You can also quickly see a dashboard of your projects status and deliverables.
Cons
The Time entry filter size has created a problem for us, I'd like to see this increased.
Great Project Management Tool
After reviewing several similar products, we decided on Celoxis as our project management solution as it offers an affordable on-premise solution that provides a lot of functionality we are looking for in an easy to use, intuitive way.
Pros
Some of the pros including functionality, features, on-premise solution, cost, and support.
Cons
Initially it may be daunting for users in regards to initial set up and utilizing available features.
It is very good, from my [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] perspective and PMO, it is fantastic to have the whole information of our projects online and with consolidated resources reports and the Gantt is very nice, much better than Microsoft Project.
