Workamajig Reviews: 3.8/5 — Good for the Price

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

I used workamajig in the past when I was a creative PM. It was a great tool to estimate project costs and also track my hours on multiple projects. Reporting capabilities have helped and created a lot of insights.

No complains here, I have enjoyed using this tool for my PM needs.

Hours tracked, helps to estimate next similar job. Can also see other users time tracked on each project.

The tool makes it easy to schedule hours, log time and track hours

There isn't anything I remember that I disliked.

It's a good tool for time management and reserving resources.

This program keeps all members accountable and engaged. It does this in a clean and clear understandable way depending on the user. It helps people communicate within the project instead of things getting lost in their mail boxes.

There really isn't a lot that I don't like about this program they are continuously improving. If there is anything that doesn't work for you they are quick to work though it with you.

Keeping projects on time and people accountable to that project and timing.

There are so many project management systems that are great for software development and if you pretend hard can maybe used for other things. Workamajig is purpose-built for time and work tracking for Communication departments; Marketing, advertising, media, the works. You can build editorial calendars, track revision cycles, do in-line edits and manage costs all in the same program

Some of the features can be daunting if you don't have a full scope of how every piece of the system works. It's set up to allow for siloed work, but fails when you try.

It's easier to keep track of deadlines, juggle steps in tasks and ensure that things happening when they need to. It also helps us produce hard data around what our day to day jobs are and how spread thin we are.

Workamajig helps me easily create project dockets that contain briefs and proofs. It helps me stay on schedule, easily track my time, input reminders for meetings and tasks. It also is a great platform for sales forecasting and invoicing. It does it all for our agency and allows users to customize a dashboard of the items they need to do their job.

I really can't think of anything I dislike personally, however I have been working with this software for years now and everything is pretty intuitive for me. Some new users may find that it takes some time to wrap their heads around everything available to make the most of all the various reports and tools available to maximize efficiency.

It gives our agency a centralized area to archive past projects, manage new projects efficiently and pull reports on the overall health of the agency all in one platform.

I like the interface of Platinum much superior to the old variant, principally in light of the fact that my inventive group acknowledges this interface substantially more. It's progressively natural and absolutely simpler to use on a versatile/tablet. The windows stack pleasantly on one another and it's a smooth form of the database

What I detest about Workamajig is the absence of usefulness between syncing your google logbook with your workamajig schedule. When endeavoring to do as such, time ordinarily copies and afterward it shows up as though somebody has twofold crafted by a specific errand or meeting than they should. So all things being equal, we have needed to un-sync these schedules. That implies on the off chance that you get a gathering notice inside your google date-book, you at that point need to go into your workamajig timetable and make precisely the same gathering notice with the goal that it hinders your schedule likewise.

It is extremely simple to follow your time. It's conspicuous when you've achieved your distributed time on a venture. Thus, planners are increasingly aware of their time spent on specific assignments. Records are likewise simpler to discover. Record directors, for instance, can without much of a stretch scan for a task, survey the first notes and look in the "documents" segment for PDFs. It streamlines the procedure and takes into consideration speedier turnaround times for customers. The program likewise helps with giving future time appraises as you can look into the definite number of hours all colleagues spent on a task.

What I like best is the visibility that I have within the staff schedule. It is so incredibly helpful to see all of our creative members time within the traffic calendar so that I can properly allocate and resource time and talent. I like that I am able to assign different tasks, to different projects, for different amounts of time, to different people, and see it all in one place.

What I dislike about Workamajig is the lack of functionality between synching your google calendar with your workamajig calendar. When trying to do so, time typically duplicates and then it appears as if someone has double the work of a particular task or meeting than they should. So instead, we have had to un-synch these calendars. That means if you receive a meeting notice within your google calendar, you then have to go into your workamajig calendar and create the exact same meeting notice so that it blocks your calendar accordingly.

We are now learning how to accurately resource and schedule our creative team. Without the use of workamajig, it would be nearly impossible to keep track of how busy everyone is and what exactly it is that they are busy with. Now, we are able to manage schedules, meet deadlines in a more efficient way, predict the amount of hours that one particular project may need in one week, know when there are open gaps to be filled, etc.

It was a huge improvement from workamajig classic. This is a great tool to manage our marketing agency.

There are some issues with managing tasks within projects and sometimes if you leave a browser open too long it will not update.

We are more connected to projects and teams while using workamajig platinum.

I like how it's a fully comprehensive system and contains all aspects of project mananagement, including invoicing, time sheets, project notices, form tracking, scheduling, timelines, etc.

The system can be glitchy at times. If more than one window is open on different computers, sometimes updates are not saved.

I am a program manager in a marketing agency, so WMJ allows me to manage multiple projects with my team, keep track of deadlines and update status notes and schedules easily and effectively. It's reporting had also saved me time so I can see a comprehensive list of active projects at any time.

Their support team is the best. Very fast and helpful. Had a great experience with them and for sure will be using their skills. Amazing team!

Nothing that I've noticed. The only thing I didn't like, the support team helped me figure out.

We are an agency, so it's very helpful with organization and communication inside the company.

simplicity. It is easy to use and submit time.

submitting timesheets. should be made easier and not have to go to "open timesheets" to submit

tracking employee time

The ease of everything seems to be a lot better and easily distinguishable

The loading from the search functions seems to lag significantly

Time management and purchase orders

I love that you can assign tasks to other users and track time.

It does not always work correctly on safari.

Easy to track the number of hours used for each job. We can see how to save time.

It's really easy to use. I'd never used PM software before, and I had almost no learning curve.

The only thing I don't like is not being able to go back to tasks after they are complete.

It keeps me organized and helps me stay on task.

I liked that it was easy to understand. When I first started my position, I had a lot to learn. WMJ made it that much easier.

I had trouble logging in from time to time. I would have to copy and paste my password in to WMJ in order to log in.

Managing workload in a quick in efficient way was the biggest problem solver that WMJ provided. I have realized that without something like this, work would take double the time to complete.

The ability to view multiple windows at once

The timeline view is hard to view. It is difficult to view multiple timelines at the same time.

Tracking time and managing projects

Easy-to-use tracking system, Various options for design preferences, the real-time dashboards that highlight real-time daily progress, reducing your need to micromanage and reminding employees of what they need to do to stay on target. I enjoy the notes sections so I can let the managers know exactly what I am working on for that time.

Sometimes it can be difficult with the interface when I am deleting cells or choosing a new task. When I am scrolling through the job numbers choices it will sometimes close out of the window when I am not ready. I dislike having to ask the account manager to 'invite' me to the job, it wastes a lot of productivity time.

Time-saving and work productivity to better manage projects

Timesheets are never fun, but Platinum makes the process so much easier. I like that I only have to input each job and task information one time per week. I also like that Platinum is visually appealing and (for the most part) intuitive.

I don't know how to submit my company card charges with platinum so I have to log into the older version. The process in Platinum is not intuitive, and I would rather just stay in Platinum.

The process for requesting stock through Workamajig Platinum is really streamlined and makes a lot of people's jobs easier.

Everything is exactly where we need it to be and it's so easy to navigate

There is really nothing to dislike this software is amazing

Workflow efficiency and timetracking

I haven't had any issues with the website, as I have with other payroll systems in the past.

I like it as is. In a perfect world it would be great if the "submit" button would just appear on the same page as the hours your entering, instead of having to hoover over to the right side of the page to find it.

I like the website. It's fairly easy to use!
