Workamajig Reviews & Product Details

the customizable ability create projects as you see fit, and to develop quotes to send to prospects or current partners. it's also nice to be able to setup clients separately according to their partnership and fees

there's a LOT to learn and i only utilize it probably 30% of the way; there's almost too much that it can provide that its a bit overwhelming. the interface in general really isn't user friendly or easy to understand, and i often forget where certain things are located

tracking projects, hours and budgets for clients on a daily and monthly basis, in an agency of 15 people. it's easy to get daily updates on where i'm at with certain clients and if we are under or over budget

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 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

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.

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

We use Workamajig for much of our internal project organization and use Platinum for time tracking. It's definitely an improvement to the previous functionality. The interface is easier to use, easier on the eyes, and saves a lot of time due to the improved tabular structure. Support is also excellent.

Still lots of weird workflow things you have to make sure to do - check certain boxes, make sure everything is set up perfectly. Once you get the hang of it its not too bad but there is a learning curve

Time tracking, project management, budget management and accounting (all in one tool).

I like the UI the best. It is much cleaner and a better UX than the "non" platinum version of the app.

The mobile app still needs some work. I found myself searching for things too much.

Solving our scheduling and overall project organization needs.

Workamajig is a great product because of its versatility. It allows you to customize your project workflows for what your company specifically needs. It also will connect via an API to your Accounting software to account for billable hours, which is great. It has great features for tracking hours worked on each project and to easily view how much work is on your team's plates for the upcoming days so you can plan accordingly.

There were a few features our company used with project workflow software that Workamajig didn't have, which were the ability to auto assign teams to specific projects; with Workamajig you have to manually assign the team members who will work on each task / project. The other feature that was more challenging with Workamajig was review cycles, meaning reviewing work and sending it back for rework as many times as needed.

Project workflow process and project organization

I like the new layout and I like the scheduling options. More user friendly. I haven't spent a lot of time with platinum, but what I have checked out I like.

That I can't do a workback schedule in jigs (or if I can that I haven't figured out how yet).

I have only checked out platinum a few times, but we use jig in general for almost everything, projects, budgets, reporting, and scheduling. Its nice to be able to do everything all in one place.

The task cards are great. They give you a quick picture of what your day looks like.

We are always having to customize this to our needs and it takes time.

We are now able to decide if we have the time/people available to take on new customers or not. We have also been able to predict if a job would be profitable or not.

I really like the ease the platform provides to manage jobs and communications amongst employees. The diary notes functionality makes capturing all project member communication easy.

There are very few things I dislike. I wish that I would be able to assign to do items and create to-do lists for projects, similar to the functionality in Basecamp

We are using it for our agency to manage projects, budgets and resources. We have benefitted from our project planning and estimating capabilities.

Easy to store leads, various contacts per client. Also a great tool for invoicing and easy to find past invoices, quickly see what is paid and remains open.

Not able to preview many of my invoices in screen- need to pop open an email or a separate pdf.

Better communication flow with external clients

I like the fact that it isn't based on a bunch of modal windows.

Labelling is strange. Lot's of unhelpful animations.

Just adding hours

Transparency among teams., stakeholders and other key players.

UX/UI can be confusing at times. Without training, it would be difficult to figure out.

Increased project efficiency.

Retaining all of the actions for review later is what I appreciate the most. When we are asked "what did I do last year" we are able to pull all the information to answer that question

So many tools can make it hard to use - it is fully customizable, which is great. But then there are tools that may not be used fully because your team may have a hard time adjusting

Everything is streamlined and saved in one central location. We are often asked "what did we do last time?" we can easily answer that question because all of the data from the previous job is stored under one master project detail.

I love the task widget and project list. It's easy to sort and see everything I need in a number of different ways.

I don't like how I have to submit timesheets using the little sidebar. I wish I could just hit "submit" on the page.

Tracking time, to-do list compilation, and project assignments.

I like the improvements to the overall user experience and functionality of the new platinum platform. It's very user-friendly.

We have only been using Platinum for a short time and, to date, I have yet to find a feature I dislike.

As a business, we are streamlining billing and project management. It is very efficient!

It has a lot of features. We use the project management, alerts, email.

The interface needs to be better organized.

Makes me more aware of what other areas are doing
