I like the level of customization you have with this platform. You can select specific calendars you want to view, change the color, and layout of the display. I also like how it asks if you want to send updates if you change the details of a given appointment.
I didn't like how you couldn't see the schedule or availability of a space. This hindered the ability to schedule conference rooms appropriately. It would be helpful if there were a "calendar" for a workspace.
Workamajig has allowed me to quickly schedule meetings with my coworkers. It sends updated notifications if any logistics change, and that helps everyone stay on the same page.
I really enjoyed using workamajig for day to day tasks and organization.
The program can be pretty sensitive and can take a while to set up based on your needs
Task management, organization
Easy to use. WMJ is intuitive. Plenty of customization opportunities to make it work for your specific work flow and data collection needs.
Comminciation between team members could get tedious. Loads the email box.
Tracking project time. Able to get everyone on board tracking time quickly.
It is flexible and easy to use. The documentation portion is my favorite part, allowing me to easily reference previous work
It can take a while for new users to get used to where everything is accessed as far as entry points for critical information or reports that you can pull
Because it is web-based it provides a very user-friendly interface for team members no matter where they are located.
I like Workamajig for the collaborative features. I like that instead of having siloed projects, you all handle the same project and hand off when you are complete.
I dislike the search feature. It is annoying having to change your filters everytime you want to search for older projects. Also, the predecessors sometimes mess up schedules.
Project management. It's a great place to keep track of all tasks and their due dates.
I like that it is easy to navigate and find what you are looking for.
It is supposed to auto-populate your recent projects, but often times it does not do this correctly, making me spend more time searching for it and losing time efficiency.
Timesheet recording, estimates for clients, and HR billing
The time keeping can be stretched by day, weeks, hours and as someone who has to keep track of their time in 15 minute increments I feel the start/stop functionality lets me focus on work instead of hours.
Mobile use is a little weird, the calendar often overlaps buttons that I need but on the whole it's still a TON better than the old flash-based version.
We use it for everything from account, project management, time tracking. Using platinum is relatively new for us and we're discovering which browsers it works best in but almost everything we do, including project notes in the diary function are through WMJ.
Building jobs, assigning roles, creating estimates are all pretty intuitive. The workspace is clean, and for the most part, the UX is good.
Too many clicks are often needed to execute the simplest of commands. Adding a task to a project can take 3-5 different steps, and those steps when done over and over add up to wasted time/
Jig allows our company full insight into our work capacity and has allowed our Client Services team a better way to manage workflow as well as a way to properly scope and manage budgets for projects.
The interface is easy to use and find your way around. Easy to customize your dashboard.
The layout of the dashboard, sometimes differentiating your tasks is hard.
Ease of use finding projects
Ability and o customize, track and manage our projects
I’d rather have the windows laid out as in classic workamajig
More efficient and faster sans java script
