## Reviews

### "Gets the job done." — 4.0/5

> **Jorge** | *9 November 2019* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It allows for documenting projects and following up with individuals from the same portal. At the same time it allows you to save media files right where your project is.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not like the interface, I think that it could do with a facelift to bring it into this decade.
> 
> I use this software to update my milestones and document changes when necessary. 5PM notifies the correspondent parties for me.

### "Project Managing Made Easy" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 November 2019* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It organizes projects and enables to store a lot files that we need to urgently share with each other.
> 
> **Cons**: Some technical glitches do happen, the most annoying is when a project deletes on it's own or we can't really decipher how that happens. Also, sometimes the activity log doesn't match the project and is of the previous project you were in, which creates a time wastage and important misinformation. Another thing is that sometimes the activity log section does not give an option to post a file/message. It just gives options to link files.
> 
> I think overall 5pm is very user friendly and straight forward in it's usage. It organizes projects with ease.

### "It works, but I have several issues" — 3.0/5

> **David** | *7 February 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is available easily for everyone at work since it is we based. I wish it had a windows software alternate I could use.
> 
> **Cons**: If I update a task I expect the date to change and it float to the top again, not remain hidden far down because I started it 3 weeks ago. It makes it hard to track and follow my CURRENT work.&#10;I should be able to MOVE my tasks to another folder or task easily rather than have to make a new one and then delete the old one.&#10;I should be able to close a task (MARK 100%) without new emails going out
> 
> Eh, I does the job and since I have to use it at my work I do. It is not the best and I have used better systems.

### "Simple and effective" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *7 February 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 5pm is a good example of a project management tool that doesn't try to do everything -- just the one thing and do it well. Learning curve is easy but it still has all the functions you need.
> 
> **Cons**: The project keyword search needs some advanced features.
> 
> 5pm allows my marketing department to keep track of many projects of different kinds (print, web, email, and more) with many of the same assets organized in one place. Also can allow clients access so they can view projects and needs. Good product -- not super complicated and maybe doesn't have ALL the features of some others, but has all the things you need.

### "5pm Review" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 February 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The organization is nice.   The ability to monitor user activity is very helpful in our time management.  The standalone time keeper is also a great solution\!
> 
> **Cons**: The load times can be a little slow at times. I understand that this is due to our large volume of projects, but I think some sort of implemented lazy load might help\!
> 
> Overall, I love 5pm.  I think it's a top shelf product.  We've tried a number of project management tools over the years, but always come back to 5pm\!
