My team instantly caught on and loved the software's features. They really hit the ground running\! > > **Cons**: I honestly cannot think of any cons\! So far, WorkOtter has been an amazing tool. > > I can't get over easy integration is, and how many benefits I've gained from using this software. All of the things I always wanted but never found in other project management software is finally here. ----- ### "A new way to work." — 5.0/5 > **Marina** | *24 May 2023* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything about the website is easy to view and customize in a number of ways. Even the more advanced features are made easy to use. It can import from some of the older methods you might have been using, such as Excel. In the case of Microsoft projects syncing, it works both ways, so you do not have to immediately make a full switch if you have already been using that as changes will sync between the two in real time. This has been a serious bonus for my team. Attachments can be added to comments, threads, and projects. You can even respond to comments directly through the email notifications and it will show up in WorkOtter. I think we are talking about how this can be implemented for direct correspondences with contractors and customers for my organization but that has yet to be determined. > > **Cons**: I have not really found any cons I can attribute directly to the website. The change has been a little bit off-putting to some of my coworkers, but since we previously used Microsoft Projects for much of this we have been able to easily sync everything between the old and new methods, so people can transition little at a time and at their own pace for the most part. > > From the very start I found it easy to get information about pricing options and features. What really ended up selling us on WorkOtter was that they offer a 30-day implementation plan, which is essentially a period in which they help get everything set up for the company and walk you through doing the things you need to do for the business. This was done with very detailed instructions and almost felt like they were ready to hold my hand through the process. I think some of my coworkers really needed it more than I did. Even after that 30-days had ended we found that their support staff were very knowledgeable and helpful when we ran into trouble, even though much of it was just user error on our end. ----- ### "Planning Set Up & Documentation" — 4.0/5 > **Kristin** | *21 August 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support has been excellent. I haven't worked directly with the WorkOtter team, but our admin has and we're all quite pleased. > > **Cons**: There's not a good planning strategy approach for integration and the documentation is not very good. It's somewhat disorganized and leaves me with a lot of questions. ----- ### "Unparalleled Efficiency\!" — 5.0/5 > **Hassan** | *5 June 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WorkOtter has been an absolute blessing for me as an Accounts Manager and member of a Marketing project management team. The easy-to-build and configure dashboards have allowed me to create a customized workspace that displays the most crucial information for tracking my projects and resources. I liked the resource management and capacity planning features since that let's me set up and view things through my preferred lens. I get a few extra hours of more work done this way and I'm able to keep my projects better on track. I don't really use the iOS and Android mobile view features, but it's still a nifty little nice-to-have feature to have on the go. I imagine it'll come in pretty handy for responding promptly to any urgent matters (although the software works well enough for me that I don't think I'll have much use for it). > > **Cons**: Working seamlessly so far so absolutely no complaints. Took some wait time to get things up and running but that was really down to us having to switch over our systems well enough to make sure we're getting the best out of the new one as advised by their team. > > Amazing\! The support staff was highly knowledgeable and never pushy, and they didn't burden us with excessive questions to get started. ----- ### "Responsive and simple timesheet" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *3 July 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the streamlined timesheet system that empowers users to request additional time and modify their schedules with ease, subject to managerial approval. This intuitive solution simplifies time management by allowing employees to effortlessly ask for extra hours and make real-time schedule adjustments, while an integrated approval workflow ensures all changes are reviewed and authorized efficiently. The user-friendly interface promotes a flexible and responsive work environment, enhancing communication and adaptability within the team. > > **Cons**: Nothing actually, I am really glad I picked WorkOtter. > > The absence of surprise charges and the lack of pressure to expand our licenses made the entire process significantly more enjoyable. Knowing exactly what to expect financially allowed us to plan confidently and focus on our core tasks without any hidden costs disrupting our budget. This transparency, combined with the freedom from aggressive upselling, created a stress-free experience, allowing us to fully appreciate the value of the service without any unwelcome surprises or added pressure. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/25087/Prism-PPM?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/25087/Prism-PPM) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
