Workamajig Reviews & Product Details

The ease of use and flow of workamajig is much greater than before.

Integration with other applications is a bit cumbersome.

ease of communication and tracking of projects

Timer/stopwatch for time tracking on projects.

App is frequently not available in my browser.

More accurate time tracking. Platinum also handles scheduling of meetings more efficiently than the original version of the app.

The time tracking app is absolutely fantastic for multiple projects.

The calendar on mobile is horrible and nearly impossible to utilize beyond the current day.

We’re sreaamlining projects and workflows mostly to help accounting and scoping accurately all in one place.

Platinum is much more aesthetically pleasing than flash as well as contains additional features that are not available on flash.

Platinum seems to have many glitches and is, to my experience, gotten glitchy-er as each monthly update is rolled out. For example, I frequently will have to refresh a page and re-enter report filters which can often be time consuming.

Our biggest problem we have been solving is decreased time utilization, thus resulting in lower revenue. With Platinum we have been able to address those with lower utilization numbers, increasing their billable hours, consequently increasing our revenue.

project management system is awesome and really helps agency. the system also allows different usage by users, however, we can't lock numbers in the system to not allow changes after posting.

financial accounting system limits what is able to happen and not the most compliant

custom reporting is a great feature within the system

I like the sleeker new design and the search capability of WMJ platinum. You are able to easily see where projects are in the process and if any are at risk - this feature is much better in the platinum version than in the standard WMJ application.

I find the long-form view of projects difficult to navigate and the collapsing of diary posts to be confusing. I've often missed the latest diary post in the new format, I much prefer seeing all listed ensuring I haven't missed anything.

I'm used to leveraging WMJ in general and aside from a new user interface and greater visibility into project status, I do not see any additional benefit to the platinum version

The organization of everything. I like how it's divided amongst everyone, project managers, etc.

Not being able to have two windows open at once, such as the staff schedule and a schedule you're working on. I dislike that it does not have a project snapshot like the previous version of WMJ.

It lists your pages in a more organized, cleaner manner.

Workamajig does provide strong reporting on time tracking if employees are comprehensive and honest in filling out their timesheets.

Very clunky, flash based UI and limited functionality in providing project financial analysis

Workamajig has provided us with a system to traffic projects across the agency and identify hours involved in those projects.

is a tool that gives you various functions with which you can manage and track all the information necessary to carry out new projects, it is easy and practical to manage, thanks to its functions you can keep a constant documentation of what the progress is. draft

its learning curve can be a bit complex to handle, so during the first days using the tool it will not be easy to handle it in its entirety, but in a matter of days it is managed in a very useful and practical way

it is a tool with which you can obtain multiple benefits when using it, which helps to better manage projects and to better direct the execution of them

I like how you are able to add in as many projects as needed and list as many job functions as needed. There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to project functionality. Th search bar is very hand when looking for a specific project. It's nice to submit all time cards all at once. There is a lot of detail in each project.

It takes a while to get used to all the buttons and pages. The user interface is pretty confusing. They have icons for one page but I don't think they are very communicative of what they represent. Overall the user experience is not the best. There are many ways to achieve the same goal but it is actually more confusing than helpful. For someone to wear different hats during a project, I would have to be added as additional roles.

The problems we are solving are tracking hours that we spend on projects. We do not bill based on time logged but it's good to know how much time we are spending on different clients.

Cloud based system that allows for multiple users to electronically track together in real time

System is not intuitive and takes alot of effort and energy to tailor the system to your business needs. This is so much of an issue that there are independent contractors that have established their own consulting business to specifically assist with Workamajig implementation.

We are tracking schedule in actual time; the online system works remotely so you do not need server access to view schedule/related documents.

I like that Workamajig (WMJ) allows you to track time, check your team's tracked time, and know where in the process you are at for projects.

I am not a fan of the interface as it is not user-friendly at all. It has a very high learning curve, which is to understand the basic nature of the platform. To use it in an expert sense seems near impossible. I am not a fan of how it is set up because it is not designed for digital projects that do have the initial work but need constant maintenance and supervision. It might be suitable for an agency, but as an internal organization, it did not work well at all.

It is a decent project management tool. It helps know where projects are in the process and who is working on what. It is also helpful to know how much time it has taken to finish projects to estimate for the future.

Ability to organize projects and track deliverable approvals

Clients trying to learn it is very difficult. The ux design of the system is abysmally complicated and not at all intuitive.

Getting approval and having a record of that in an easy to find fashion is incredibly helpful. Since our clients are still internal, we offer have to go back and verify that things were signed off on.

Timesheets, estimating, budget management, invoicing, and revenue recognition are the most beneficial features. Resource management is also a great feature.

The UX isn't very intuitive and managing integrated projects and campaigns is clunky. Everything is focused on the project, which makes it cumbersome to see dependencies and reporting across hundreds of projects. Because we're using a limited feature set, WMJ is an overpriced tool.

Workamajig only benefits is from a financial management standpoint. We do not use it for project, campaign, workflow or resource management.

It has a nice design and I like how you can give different dashboards by role, i.e. PM, or creative or admin.

It takes a lot longer to build a schedule then in the older system. I.e. you have multiple steps in Platinum that use to be one step. It is always very glitchy, i.e. when I hit duplicate tasks, sometimes it does it, sometimes it does not. It does not seem to be dependable and my team seems to lose a lot of their work when working in platinum.

Traffic and staff utilization, project budgets and profit analysis.

It seems like the platform has really powerful features, but the interface is so complicated that I can't figure out how to use them.

The website is not responsive and is difficult to use in different browser sizes. It takes so much time out of my day asking colleagues to manually add a new job to my time sheet. The ''copy week' feature is not intuitive and leaves me going through extra steps every week to keep all my usual codes in.

I see the potential for it to help me understand how I'm tracking against my allotted hours for a project.

The diary notes/ability to keep projects organized

you always have to reload & it never seems to work

project management

It is nice that it is one place to access all projects.

It is not intuitive; hate cascading windows.

We are using it as a centralized project management software. It is nice that all of the key project set up information is in one place, however, it is very challenging to keep accurate with timely information due to the quantity of projects we manage.

Easy to operate. high functionality. Easy to teach.

Some features withing creating briefs like changing fonts, adding bullets need to be added

Advertising solutions

The interface is much more up to date then the default version

Completely different interface if you are switching from the old version. Very hard to get used to and find features you are used to using

Not much with the platinum version
