LiquidPlanner allows us to structure projects across teams and manage deadlines for internal and client-focused projects. We manage deadlines, SoW criteria, track time, assign and update projects efficiently with the tool. We've looked at other options and find that LP continues to give us what we need at a reasonable cost.

The ease of setting up your projects in the LP.

You need to be creative when working Agile projects with Sprints.

Allocation of resources is a huge problem LP helps me solve. We have limited resources, yet management assigns these same resources to multiple projects. LP helps me show how the resources are being used and what happens to project deliverables when we lower the percentage of time those resources spend on assigned projects.

Creating, appointing and managing teams and projects is simple. For LiquidPlanner it is easy to track progress of projects. The software enhances consumer reporting in a timely manner. This app allows time tracking on activities and projects.

No difficulties to point out that this software is very useful for the management of the project.

It program ensures that all activities and programs are well coordinated and handled. The productivity has increased tremendously with this program. This program makes it possible for all teams to work more effectively on their projects.

I really like the ability of this software to customize the functions and adapt them in the best way to the company, the assignment of the work of the employees is very easy as well as the management of the projects. It also makes data analysis a lot easier.

I do not like that the learning curve is long, even if you do not have previous experience with this type of tools, even though some users with some experience with the management of these software should have taken some time to make some configurations in the initial use of the tool.

Organizing the projects of the company was a very difficult task, with this great tool we have solved this problem, we are working more organized, this saves a lot of work time. This software allows the different work teams of the company to work more organized, avoiding large delays of the projects in progress. Communication functions are used daily.

The ability to create multiple tasks in a project folder, assign estimated hours to a project and then share the project with my manager. Keep tracking of users time spent on a particular task or project.

The ability to create reports of the data that has been inputted into multiple projects and tasks. Getting down to the checklist level, the ability to report on completion would be great. Mobile needs some work as it lacks a lot of features.

Keeping track of internal users hours being spent on projects. Not knowing how many hours or where someone is on a project, made it difficult to assign new projects without falling behind.Forecasting new projects and ability to estimate a projects time spent.

LiquidPlanner truly is the best way to capture both the most minute details and the most important big picture aspects of a project. One of its biggest strengths allowing all project contributors to log time on a task by task basis, then summarizing that work output in customizable, easy to understand dashboards for management to make decisions off of.

It does take some time to learn. Some of the less tech-savvy members of my company continue to have issues using it, even though we have been phasing it in for about 6 months. Probably the biggest drawback is that, at least for my company, anyone can reorder or rename a project. This is a big deal for us, because each box under the "All Projects" tab corresponds to a different engineering R&D project. The order of these determines the allocation of resources, so that order makes a big difference in which projects get priority. To my knowledge, there is nothing stopping any user from manually reordering that list. It would get corrected immediately, of course, but that power is disturbing. Plus, anyone can rename any project. A colleague of mine accidentally renamed one of the R&D projects to his domain login password! He did not realize his error until someone else in the company brought it to his attention half an hour later. Anyways, this seems to indicate that LiquidPlanners biggest strenghths (user empowerment, flexibility, customizability) can also be its biggest risks.

Solves the problem of prioritizing R&D projects and allocating company resources based on that priority. Brings all the resource groups (design team, machining center, lab testing etc.) together to work off of one priority list

Liquid planner allows me to easily keep track of the projects I am working on and track my time against tasks I complete. The ability to add a custom field to track the current state of tasks further enhances the granularity and detail of the reporting.

The interface can be a little cumbersome sometimes I feel. I still haven't figured out how to work well out of the Timesheet view and work mainly in the projects view.

LP allows my organization to accurately keep track of billable time and ensure projects are on schedule. It has improved our time management and tracking.

Anytime we thought we might want to find a new product to suit our needs we spoke to an agent with LP. Every time we contacted the company they showed us different functionality that we could integrate and grow our LP involvement.

A bit expensive for the amount of work we had to put into using it. It's not as intuitive as other products.

Our marketing/creative team is using LP as a project management and agile tool.

Liquid Planner has so many built-in capabilities. I personally like the way I can create tasks for a project, assign them to resources, and immediately see the completion date. I can set deadlines on tasks or folders and see where there might be problems in the timeline. I also use this software for its timesheet capabilities. It is easy to see how much time has been logged against a task and if that is over or under the estimate. Liquid Planner has a great support team that we have leveraged as well.

One thing I disliked most was the inability to understand what was causing risk on a particular project or individual task. However Liquid Planner just came out with a release that highlights exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, I can't even imagine my daily work without Liquid Planner. We schedule all of our work in Liquid Planner and track all of our time there. We have tried a few other project management platforms and time tracking software but this one is the best all-around option by far. I love having everything I need in one place.
