I like it better since the last update that happened. The drag and drop feature is great.
There are still a lot of items you can not do and the software is limited with editing and moving with the set ups of work spaces.
It helps keep projects on task for a lot of different groups being pulled in together.
The ease of use is one of the best features around. The software is intuitive and you can get up and running with very little training. They also allow you to store documents with each task thus keeping everything you need for your project together. The support staff is always friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this software to anyone who juggle multiple projects and needs to stay organize.
Hardly anything, but the "reports" feature could be better...although I hardly use this.
We have become more efficient and have also reduce the amount of errors we make. This has also allowed us to increase the amount of work we take in. Since utilizing workzone, we have almost doubled the amount of quote and sold jobs. By spending less time search for information, following up on jobs in a timely fashion and making fewer mistakes, WZ has allowed us to go after more business.
I love that the software is so intuitive. Most things can be figured out with very little training. Because it's available online, it's always accessible and most importantly all of our tasks and associated files are kept together with each job.
Hard to say what I dislike as we use this everyday. I guess the reports the software generates could be better.
We are a lot more organized and can find everything we need to know about a job right away. We can track every step of the project including where every stick of wood that was shipped, all plan changes and all communication with our customers. This has really help reduce the amount of errors, improve productivity, increase margins and has made us more efficient.
The ability to set up project templates.
We don't like that you have to match start and end dates on tasks.
We use Workzone to keep our marketing team organized by utilizing task lists under overarching projects. This keeps everyone involved in a project up to date of the status of the project. It has helped us increase the amount of projects we are able to complete.
I love the reports, sort options, and how everything lives inside of the project.
I wish you could search for a word and have all projects with that word come up. I also wish that when you create a new project, that it takes you directly to that project.
We are solving the problem of letting projects sit for too long without moving forward. We are also identifying whirlwinds easier.
Separates individual tasks with what is due and upcoming due dates. Reminders when a task is incomplete.
It can be time-consuming to create a new project.
Problems solved - a place to put all tasks for accounts and notify the correct respondents for the tasks. Benefits - one place to put what needs to be done, and it sends an email notification to each assigned person of the tasks.
Workflow management has strong features such as: business process automation, a graphical editor, customizable control panels, third party integrations, etc., that provide optimization to user projects. It allows to manage in an optimal way the workload of the workers, with the purpose of delivering a professional work in the assigned time. The campaigns have all the necessary information of each project and client. Workzone is also enabled for use on a Mac.
The program has functions that are not intuitive enough and this leads to more manual adjustments for example functions such as calendars, causing a considerable delay in the progress of tasks. At the moment it does not contain a mobile application.
One advantage of using Workzone is that it contains a very tidy dashboard that allows you to see all the necessary information about the employees and the tasks being performed. It becomes very easy to accommodate the employee's workload and to be able to redirect that task to another employee with less work. Real-time messages that can be sent to employees after isolating tasks in the To Do List have accelerated the finalization of projects.
Workzone contains all the necessary tools to carry out campaigns with your team. Allows users to save time because you can use jobs and campaigns created in past projects, to use them again for future jobs. It contains an intelligent model where the tasks and sub-tasks to create are located. Web and cloud-based implementations are more stable than other project management software. It has very good intuition to track and record each project
It can take time to master all the tasks that Workzone offers, although the fact that the whole program is intelligently organized reduces learning time. Workzone does not have the option of looking at the accumulated hours of a project still in progress. It contains a limited number of templates, which makes it difficult to complete certain types of projects
We are working in more orderly ways because all the information about our users' work is in the workload. Project portfolio management is used for resource management and time tracking, along with a very fast communications panel. Workflow has been improved because we use tasks like the graphic editor and business process automation. The customer support is very well prepared and they are very polite
You can distribute and focus effective training processes of digital change agents of marketing results by using the workzone software, to prove in a prudent way their possibilities of achieving business goals, being able to count in an acceptable way with the incredible progress orientation on which the workzone programming is based, an automated tool with security of interpretation of tools and use of systems of administrative impulse of strategies.
The resource management support of the workzone program, presents failures in its data mobilization, where many of the data collected by the software can not be transferred to other digital systems, disabling the options of information transfer, making the company can not have levels of acquisition of work routes and transfer of professional domain foundations of user recruitment, due to this problem must be established digital enhancement parameters to find the error hosted in the program.
Workzone for my company has been based on the inclusion of operational development of the organization of mechanisms for building possibilities of access to variants of management hit control, in which its arrangement of content routes focused stably to the perfection of development of facilities for the use of methodologies of sequential configurations of hit order, in which their skills have provided affinity of results.
Flexibility in creating multiple 'workspaces' to allow team members to create their own tracking methodology
We are new users, don't have any specific issues yet.
Workzone has helped us manage our projects, track milestones and easily adjust project dates with the click of a button
They just redesigned the interface and it feels so much nicer. I like that we can separate things into workspaces so people aren't stepping on each other's toes
password strength requirements, login/timeout, can't bulk copy tasks from one project to another
Cross-departmental collaboration has been much better. It keeps people accountable for hitting their deadlines and shows them the impact of missing a deadline has on the next person.
i love that Workzone gives me the tasks that i need to complete for the day as well as letting me know what is coming up. I can see everything that needs to be done in our office at any given time. I no longer have rely on piles of papers and folders everything is right at my fingertips on the computer.
there is really nothing to dislike about the program. sometimes it would be easier if i could alter multiple projects at once but it is not the worst thing in the world to have to do it one at a time.
i as the business manager know everything that is going on in the office, nothing falls through the cracks and if someone doesnt do something and just coninually ignores it i know they are ignoring it and can adress it ASAP
I like being able to have a variety of templates so each project type can be created easily. And, I like being able to add/remove steps in the process and extend a workflow as the scope of the project changes or revisions are needed.
Sometimes the contingencies make getting the ideal date to line up tricky within a complex workflow. And, I would like for closed projects to 'reopen' automatically if new tasks are added.
We no longer need to manually and physically move projects through our ad agency. The workflows indicate whose turn it is in the process and even assigning tasks to multiple people is possible for multiple reviewers. It has saved a ton of steps, allowed people to work remotely where before it was next to impossible and provided insight into where issues and delays occur. Deadlines that are missed are flagged so we don't continue to get further behind schedule.
Interface is great and super smooth It’s fun able to see task that need to be done across the board
Have yet to find anything about the product that we don’t enjoy or like
Team mates able to see tasks across the board need to be done
How easy it is to use to view and track all projects in one space. So even if someone else worked on a project while I was out I am able to see what they did and pick up where they left off
The search features, I wish it was more extensive and easier to use. Also the expansion feature.
Timelines, ease of following a job from start to finish and being able to see it all at once
It helps keep our team on track and organized. We have increased efficiency as a whole and are able to report back to the organization meaningful results.
There's not much to dislike, but always looking for enhanced reporting features.
We have become more efficient as a team and are able to provide meaningful results to the organization.
Very easy to use once you get the hang of it, constantly updating what it can do and evolves with us. Great customer service!
It can be challenging to use if you don't go into it often, like some of my users. You do have to stay on top of it or else you will have a sea of red!
Manage all marketing projects to come into our office each year, approximately 1500
Workzone is a well known cloud-based project management solution whose approach is based on document management and collaboration, in terms of its strengths as a software we can say that it has different tools that allow the user to create projects, assign tasks and share files within a cloud-based platform, this helps improve the workflow of request and approval another point that I consider really positive in this software is how it organizes each project so that you can see who is responsible for each project, due date of each project and also makes the outstanding projects that are overdue are very noticeable
Workzone is an extremely brilliant software however when you go deeper in its functions you can notice that it still has some deficiencies that I hope will improve in the future like for example its interface which is not very fluid and its design is not very eye-catching but nevertheless it fulfills its function, those projects that are delayed by a task are affected as a whole and the independent tasks that were done on time are still affected, Workzone also has a deficiency in advanced accounting or budgeting functions and finally the local implementation is not available
My organization receives a large number of projects from our customers and every day we find ourselves having to manage each one of them, that's why we chose Workzone as a tool for the management of personalized projects, it has also helped us to know how to proceed with each project, with it we have assigned tasks to each of our employees and delivered due dates for each one of them, the truth is that with Workzone the workflow within my organization has improved a lot which represents a greater satisfaction on the part of our customers
Easily upload files, reassign tasks, view current workflow and tag other users. The function to markup items and approve/not approve work can be a bit clunky at times, depending how the team uses it, but it's better than not having the option.
It can be difficult to reassign tasks to new users who are not currently assigned to the project. This involves a bit of backtracking to add them to the workspace and then continue with the project set up. If you're not currently in a project but receive a link to a task, you may receive an error message. I wish this function would instead give the reason and the option to request access. I find the mobile version difficult to use, but I turn to mobile so infrequently, it's really a non-issue for my work purposes.
We’ve tried several time tracking and project management tools, this is the most efficient as the organization grows. With both one-off projects and recurring monthly work, I know the ability to duplicate projects has saved our account management team time month to month...and has reduced the amount of recurring tasks that are lost in the shuffle.
I like how customizable it is. I can tailor it to the number of employees I have. I love that everything is stored on the cloud, making it super convenient to access.
It took a minute to get the hang of the software initially because I feel like there are so many features
Being able to break down bigger project into smaller tasks is nice. Tracks progress really well so I can see exactly where we are behind
