We LOVE Workamajig! The software is top tier and our rep, Jennifer Broadwater, is nothing less than accommodating and amazing! We needed project mgmt software that was customizable and could roll out across many departments. We needed an intake form, ease for users/intuitive, a view of both top-level bandwidth and availability of staff as well as individual tasks. We wanted it to offer vendor or freelancer integration and to integrate with SharePoint, It meets and EXCEEDS all of these expectations!
You cannot integrate with MS Teams and that is our preferred chat methood.
We can read team bandwidth and make certain answeres required at the project intake phase.
It handles a wide range of functions for our agency so we could eliminate other software needs and consolidate nearly all of our business functions into Workamajig.
We thought Workamajig would have more robust media capabilities, so we must invest in other options. Fortunately, they recently created a tighter partnership with one media platform which allows for more automated connections, but it's not yet fully reliable.
It's helped us consolidate all of our critical business information into one place, ensuring we're more efficient and effective in everything we do. Every department in our agency uses it to some degree to fulfill their roles and serves as a main hub for communication, work tracking and resource allocation. Ultimately that means we spend more time focused on creating great work for our customers and less time duplicating efforts or handling everything manually.
Workamajig allows you to click through different reports once you open a specific report. Not many other platforms are as user-friendly and allow you to get into a sub ledger by just clicking. Also, the customer support team is one of a kind. They are willing to jump in help you with any question and the response time is typically immediate. Thank you Birgitte for being awesome!
Unfortunately, media tools does not connect with Workamajig therefore it ends up being a manual process for our team to update their flowcharts and Workamajig.
Workamajig has been great in taking our requests and helping us solve them. For example, we have special reporting needed for our owners and Workamajig has been great to help us build this reporting and enhance their system to be able to pull what is needed.
Helps me keep myself, my colleagues and all our many projects organized and gives us all great insight into each project and the financial status of each project.
That there isn't a mobile app available so I could use my iPhone when I'm not in front of my laptop.
Workamajig essentially combines all the separate systems (ie. spreadsheets, Harvest, Asana) we were previously on, and allows us to take care of it all in one place. It's more efficient, more organized, and allows me to have a better handle on all our projects and everything going on in the agency.
Everything all in one place, and the ability to drill down and find out where the numbers came from.
Learning curve is a little brutal. Some things are not as intuitive as I would like.
Everything in one place. The ability to have reports that are meaningful to the business.
Workamajig is the perfect platform for any agency looking for robust features, flexibility and all-around competitive pricing.
Nothing glaring comes to mind. Workamajig does so many things so well!
Forecasting (both financial and resources) and project health monitoring. The Workamajig platform provides all of the business intelligence needed to keep our business efficient, optimized and profitable!
I like that I can submit deliverables and then task the appropriate people to review my work. It is very nice to then have those deliverables readable and within workamajig for comments/reviews.
There is a lot to learn about how workamajig works. That is one of the bigger downsides. Another downside is sometimes files do not load within the file viewer, which means comments and reviews do not load since they are attached. That is a pain to try to work around.
It helps our company stay on a timeline by assigning tasks and deadlines. It is nice to have a place where everything is self-contained for each job we create - conversations, files, specifications, etc.
It's easy to create projects, tasks, and subtasks. It's also easy to log time to each project.
There is nothing at the moment that I dislike.
I'm solving project management issues. I'm tracking project budgets, resources, and logging time.
I love workamajig because you can schedule all your tasks and assign who will take care of them and when they are due. It is fantastic and no other software compares
I dislike the predecessors You can remove them from your schedules which is highly recommend just in case your project goes over the estimated time.
Workamajig is making sure my projects are moving and love the to dos and how you can make detailed notes on each project task. My business has moved forward and seamlessly.
I love the resource management tool and how easy it is to create schedules.
I found creating custom invoices difficult.
Seeing all assignees schedules to see who overbooked
