Workamajig is powerful and fast. It is well thought out, easy to use and provides tons of useful reports and information. I've never found a competitor that can do all that WMJ can.
In the 10+ years using Workamajig, I have yet to find a downside. In the rare instance where we have a problem, they are quick to respond and always come through with a fix. The reps are very knowledgeable, great listeners and anxious to make us happy.
Workamajig produces accurate financials that provide a true picture of our financial performance and position for presentation to creditors. It helps us to monitor the progress and profitablilty of our projects in real time so that we can adjust fire when necessary.
The project management detail, the financial detail and time reporting available to us. I also really like being able to create project estimates quickly in WMJ.
WMJ can become cumbersome at times when trying to create a project schedule quickly. Because of that, we have often times cut corners in order to reach our goal in a faster manner -- which understandably, undermines the intent of the program.
We were having a problem with expenses being pulled into Client Profitability reports randomly. Leslie and Birgitte talked us through and taught us a new way to find our own mistakes.
As a project manager it is important for me to know what projects are active, next steps, what all needs to be invoiced, providing P&L statements to upper management. Workamajig (WMJ) does all that for us. Training team is amazing - they know the ins & outs of the system and help guide us as to the best way to set up for our business.
I have been working with WMJ for the past year - and I have not found a downside to using the system.
Project Timing. Account Management. Retainer billing. And we have not used it yet, but we will soon be using the estimating feature
We LOVE Workamajig! The software is top tier and our rep, Jennifer Broadwater, is nothing less than accommodating and amazing! We needed project mgmt software that was customizable and could roll out across many departments. We needed an intake form, ease for users/intuitive, a view of both top-level bandwidth and availability of staff as well as individual tasks. We wanted it to offer vendor or freelancer integration and to integrate with SharePoint, It meets and EXCEEDS all of these expectations!
You cannot integrate with MS Teams and that is our preferred chat methood.
We can read team bandwidth and make certain answeres required at the project intake phase.
Workamajig allows you to click through different reports once you open a specific report. Not many other platforms are as user-friendly and allow you to get into a sub ledger by just clicking. Also, the customer support team is one of a kind. They are willing to jump in help you with any question and the response time is typically immediate. Thank you Birgitte for being awesome!
Unfortunately, media tools does not connect with Workamajig therefore it ends up being a manual process for our team to update their flowcharts and Workamajig.
Workamajig has been great in taking our requests and helping us solve them. For example, we have special reporting needed for our owners and Workamajig has been great to help us build this reporting and enhance their system to be able to pull what is needed.
Helps me keep myself, my colleagues and all our many projects organized and gives us all great insight into each project and the financial status of each project.
That there isn't a mobile app available so I could use my iPhone when I'm not in front of my laptop.
Workamajig essentially combines all the separate systems (ie. spreadsheets, Harvest, Asana) we were previously on, and allows us to take care of it all in one place. It's more efficient, more organized, and allows me to have a better handle on all our projects and everything going on in the agency.
Everything all in one place, and the ability to drill down and find out where the numbers came from.
Learning curve is a little brutal. Some things are not as intuitive as I would like.
Everything in one place. The ability to have reports that are meaningful to the business.
Workamajig is the perfect platform for any agency looking for robust features, flexibility and all-around competitive pricing.
Nothing glaring comes to mind. Workamajig does so many things so well!
Forecasting (both financial and resources) and project health monitoring. The Workamajig platform provides all of the business intelligence needed to keep our business efficient, optimized and profitable!
I like that I can submit deliverables and then task the appropriate people to review my work. It is very nice to then have those deliverables readable and within workamajig for comments/reviews.
There is a lot to learn about how workamajig works. That is one of the bigger downsides. Another downside is sometimes files do not load within the file viewer, which means comments and reviews do not load since they are attached. That is a pain to try to work around.
It helps our company stay on a timeline by assigning tasks and deadlines. It is nice to have a place where everything is self-contained for each job we create - conversations, files, specifications, etc.
I love workamajig because you can schedule all your tasks and assign who will take care of them and when they are due. It is fantastic and no other software compares
I dislike the predecessors You can remove them from your schedules which is highly recommend just in case your project goes over the estimated time.
Workamajig is making sure my projects are moving and love the to dos and how you can make detailed notes on each project task. My business has moved forward and seamlessly.
There are so many project management systems that are great for software development and if you pretend hard can maybe used for other things. Workamajig is purpose-built for time and work tracking for Communication departments; Marketing, advertising, media, the works. You can build editorial calendars, track revision cycles, do in-line edits and manage costs all in the same program
Some of the features can be daunting if you don't have a full scope of how every piece of the system works. It's set up to allow for siloed work, but fails when you try.
It's easier to keep track of deadlines, juggle steps in tasks and ensure that things happening when they need to. It also helps us produce hard data around what our day to day jobs are and how spread thin we are.
I like the interface of Platinum much superior to the old variant, principally in light of the fact that my inventive group acknowledges this interface substantially more. It's progressively natural and absolutely simpler to use on a versatile/tablet. The windows stack pleasantly on one another and it's a smooth form of the database
What I detest about Workamajig is the absence of usefulness between syncing your google logbook with your workamajig schedule. When endeavoring to do as such, time ordinarily copies and afterward it shows up as though somebody has twofold crafted by a specific errand or meeting than they should. So all things being equal, we have needed to un-sync these schedules. That implies on the off chance that you get a gathering notice inside your google date-book, you at that point need to go into your workamajig timetable and make precisely the same gathering notice with the goal that it hinders your schedule likewise.
It is extremely simple to follow your time. It's conspicuous when you've achieved your distributed time on a venture. Thus, planners are increasingly aware of their time spent on specific assignments. Records are likewise simpler to discover. Record directors, for instance, can without much of a stretch scan for a task, survey the first notes and look in the "documents" segment for PDFs. It streamlines the procedure and takes into consideration speedier turnaround times for customers. The program likewise helps with giving future time appraises as you can look into the definite number of hours all colleagues spent on a task.
Workamajig helps me easily create project dockets that contain briefs and proofs. It helps me stay on schedule, easily track my time, input reminders for meetings and tasks. It also is a great platform for sales forecasting and invoicing. It does it all for our agency and allows users to customize a dashboard of the items they need to do their job.
I really can't think of anything I dislike personally, however I have been working with this software for years now and everything is pretty intuitive for me. Some new users may find that it takes some time to wrap their heads around everything available to make the most of all the various reports and tools available to maximize efficiency.
It gives our agency a centralized area to archive past projects, manage new projects efficiently and pull reports on the overall health of the agency all in one platform.
Their support team is the best. Very fast and helpful. Had a great experience with them and for sure will be using their skills. Amazing team!
Nothing that I've noticed. The only thing I didn't like, the support team helped me figure out.
We are an agency, so it's very helpful with organization and communication inside the company.
I love that you can assign tasks to other users and track time.
It does not always work correctly on safari.
Easy to track the number of hours used for each job. We can see how to save time.
