Keto

Pros

I think KETO software is easy to use. Automatic saving is good feature.
Document is always updated and report can be printed out for colleagues who are not using KETO.

Cons

Summary, but I think our company it not using dashboard.

Pros

The tool is very flexible and can cover many of our requirements as we would like to have them. Idea Managemenent, Workflows, Ressource Planning, Project Planning, Risk Management, Dashboards, etc. are included and can be adapted to the needs of the company.

Cons

Once the usage of the tool and the amount of data increased we had some performance issues, those have been mostly solved in the meantime. Quite often we are also running into Bugs, but the support of Keto is great and those are usually fixed quite fast. Last but not least also the overall costs for licenses and changes (adaptions on the systems) shouldnt be underestimated, since individual adaptions require quite some know-how about the application and have to be performed by Keto.

Reasons for Switching to Keto

Pros

Ease of use and making announcements in the system is also easy.

Cons

There should be more Scalable and customizable views in systems by users in portfolio level. There is not visual addiction map of projects.

Pros

I really like to have a one-stop online tool that can be used for handling multiple project management processes. The tool is already good and it has many nice and useful features, and the development shouldn't stop here, there is still some general project management processes missing from the system (at least in our organization), and the features that we have, could benefit from some fine tuning.

Ultimately I'd like to see a system that would GUIDE project manager (or the project management team) throughout the execution of the project, ideally even so that a separate project management plan or quality plan is not required.

Cons

(The improvement ideas mentioned in the previous page)
- The user interface is bit slow to react; It takes seconds to change pages, or to fill information.
- Time management in Keto and MS project should be somehow aligned (now double work is needed).
- The reporting page should be greatly improved and Keto should offer possibility for automatic distribution of the reports to stake holders. Or at least printing to PDF with company graphics. Maybe include some automatic data in the reports, such as budgetary status (if used) and on-going tasks from "resource reservations" -page?
- Maybe task reminders for project manager (e.g. to fill an monthly report etc.)?
- Maybe there could be a "wizard" for setting up a new project?
- Maybe have a dedicated page for project personnel (i.e. a separate page for project organisation)?

Pros

The use of Keto allowed the R&D team to pull several aspects of project management (e.g. schedule, budget, risk, NPV, etc.) into a common location whereas they had all been created and tracked in disparate applications. Keto also allows for a number of useful, customizable, dashboards providing for quick review of the entire project portfolio for any given metric.

Cons

It is not always easy to understand how to use the various features to their full potential. The user manual we have is woefully inadequate. On the other hand, our Keto support team is always quick to reply to inquiries and is very helpful.

Pros

The Keto platform is completely customizable and yet offers all the functionality you would possibly expect from a innovation system

Cons

The reporting functionality could potentially be enriched with more modern out of the box reports. Nevertheless, the team does afresh job in customizing reports to the individual customer specific reports.

Pros

Keto looks good compared to some of the competitors, it can be easily modified to your own needs and it's easy to use without extensive training.

Cons

There are different modules, for example quality, risk mngt etc. and it would be good to have something to start on and not start inventing yourself that this kind of risk portfolio we would like to be build because sometimes the simplest, one size fits all is good enough for the beginning or we don't even know what we want but we know that we need some module.

Pros

I was teaching and coaching students, and I was considering easy to use project software. The Keto software as one option. After teaching, I am using the Keto software my projects. I like it offers all the needed features and functionalities. The Keto project management apps was easy to learn.

Cons

The Keto project app is sometimes low and responses have to wait.

Pros

Software was modified to our company purposes and co-operation with developers were smooth and customer requests well fulfilled.

Cons

Reporting tools - export to excel worksheets missing and report formats.

Pros

It is flexible and easy to use. Configuration seems to be quite easy / no time consuming.

Cons

I hope with new /latest platform version KETO does not loose the flexibility !

Pros

Reporting is currently the most helpful. Reporting is easy to use and automatic saving decreases the risk of loosing information if the page was lost etc.

The other really important thing is resource management. It it very useful to reserve resources and indicate who and when will perform a task. Keto resource management provides an essential tool for superiors to see the level of work load of each person during the year IF the feature is precisely used by every project managers..

Cons

Currently I don't like that gate decisions can be approved by a project manager. Project owner should only be possible to click and approve gate decisions.

Pros

Basic features are easy to find. Mostly intuitive. Data haven’t been missing, continuous saving works.

Cons

App is slow compared to other browser based apps. Waiting times when approving tasks. Took long time to change the working procedures regarding changing the resource reservation. For some reason we are not utilizing all available data from the app. Would need online utilization rates.

Pros

Friendly user software. Provides a great tool to make the follow up of Gates & tasks of a project. It is pretty easy as well to make changes and add & remove items. Pretty handy to have the analytical part as well.

Cons

The missing part for us at the moment is the integration with the costs. There is no possibility for us to upload the costs to the software as we don´t have no other application compatible with it. Would be great if costs could be handle directly in Keto or if could be imported from other app

Pros

Gates, overview, place to collect main documentation

Cons

Too many key words and classifications
Too complex finance sheets for small projects
Difficult to get easy screen overview if you have a big portfolio

Pros

UI is very smooth, fast and responsive. Keto tool is very secure and robust. It is very easy to use. It is very helpful tool for managing multiple project at a same time very flawlessly.It maintain the project workflow. We ca make reports , portfolio and track progress very easily. Really very good tool for small and large organisations.

Cons

Customer support is very poor. It is paid tool. Otherwise Really a best tool for project management.

It requires a lot of work to get people to use it in a way that is then helpful for the business.

Pros

It has a great UI/UX and is very easy to use. Both for users as well as to setup and to customize. There are a lot of built in modules such as Resource and Task Management that I haven't seen in this quality at any other vendor

Cons

The platform is constantly improving and more and more features are being added, which makes it even more powerful.

Pros

It gives good understanding of the project portfolios

Cons

too much boxes and non-relevant information to fill

Pros

This software platform is straight-forward to use and most of the development is based on use of parameters, which is cost-effecient.

Pros

Keto software is easy to use, has relevant topics to do the follow-up of each project. Gives the possibility to management team to take indicators of the status of the projects.

Cons

Feeding the finances manually if SAP is in use.

Pros

Possibility to generate some reports
Export of the charter to Word (would like to be able to export to Powerpoint too)

Cons

Generally the software should be more userfriendly
The resources management is not flexible enough, it should be Excel-like

Pros

Ability to impact the development and add new features to match our process development needs.

Cons

The UI works very differently from many other software. It lacks clues for new users, where to click, what opens etc.

Pros

I like to be able to keep the entire historic of a project and follow it up.

Cons

I think that the way we maybe the follow up of the Costs should be improved.

Pros

I like Keto Platform because it helps organize different projects, assess risks and weigh in the benefits. It allows you to easily create an idea portfolio. You can assess how well these ideas can develop and assign them to specific people. Categories can be added to projects and ideas which makes filtering them very easy. Keto Platform also provides you with a project report that includes the information you need.

Cons

Keto Platform is a great software available to help you move on with projects and obtain good benefits. Offering a free trial will encourage people to acquire the software and be able to justify the cost.

not easy to handle. To many screens and options to fill

Pros

ease of use, after you have learned the functions

Too many variables

Nothing particular comes to mind. Solid.

Cons

The fact we needed to use an additional software tool
