LiquidPlanner Reviews & Product Details

I really like LP’s dashboard feature. It makes it easy to keep track of projects, time put to different tasks, and upcoming tasks.

I don’t always love the milestone features. Sometimes they don’t work correctly for my team. It is also a painpoint that if a parent folder has a date it overwrites the date of the tasks inside of it.

We are solving departmental gaps and cross-collaboration between teams at work. It also helps with time tracking.

We use the work in progress and complete to activity everyday to see deadlines and project progress.

Downside are that if you have a lot of projects it is hard to find them unless you search because the titles such as work and progress and Pipeline are right next to each other so you might not realize that you started a project.

We are keeping in control and not allowing our various projects to slip through the cracks.

I love how easy it is to pull data and sort and export.

It can be a little clunky to add or find things with multiple projects.

Overall time tracker is number one and project management is number two.

I like the flexibility the software has and allows us to customize our workflow.

I wish there was a way to show LP in real time.

It's helped our planning and scheduling work for different departments in a way that allows us to get the most done!

How easy it is to add new tasks and organize time within the folder structure. Keeping track of which team members are working on what projects and how long they are working at a glance makes scheduling easy.

More layout customization within the timesheet section would be nice. Plus, dark mode.

Time management

Liquid Planner is accurate and tells us exactly where our resources are committed. When we get a new project, within minutes we can determine when it can be done. We have 10 resources working on 5 major projects, 10 medium projects and hundreds of minor work - over 1000 tasks in the workspace - and we know exactly when it all can be done. Using the API we were easily able to get Liquid Planner and Zendesk to integrate as well. Has changed our company! I looked at several different products and this was the only one that instantly refreshed the schedule. The support team at LP are also fantastic.

The customer portal side could be better. It reveals too much data for us to use it on our customers.

Before Liquid Planner we just used to guess when we could do work and we never knew what we had promised to customers. We now get instant feedback on when it can be done. We lock in a promise date using the deadline feature and then if something happens to the plan to move that task beyond the promise date, we know about the issue and can easily solve it.

I love the analytics, reports and data that can be pulled to make informed decisions in the best interest of production. Gives real-time estimates on job completion dates with high accuracy. It has helped to remove a glut of paperwork and streamlined all our processes to where we rely on LiquidPlanner alone for production purposes.

Training employees/customers up in its use can be time-consuming. To get the information you want from reports needs a high degree of knowledge of LiquidPlanner.

We couldnt accurately project job completion dates which we are now able to do. We have also made obsolete our paper systems as LiquidPlanner allows us to track times, costs, job completion rates, billable vs non-billable efficiencies.

I like the ability to track my progress .

I dont dislike anything about liquid planner.

we can track how long projects take to complere

Being able to use priority packets, using dashboards to create client update portals

The timesheet functionality is a bit clunky, the overall UI feels a little outdated and could use a refresh, the cost per seat is higher than others.

As someone who has come from MS Project, using this is a game changer. Being able to prioritize tasks for my day across multiple projects is such a great victory with this. I am able to act with confidence and get from task to task with extreme focus.

The cards option. It is easy to manage and see the progress of every tasks.

Sometimes, there's too many options and view. It can be easily confusable for anyone how doesn't know the application.

It's used to see the deadline for each task, the progress and to see if we are in time. I can do what you want when you know how to use it.
