Recensioni su Workzone

Workzone Review

Commenti: My overall experience with Workzone was good. It helped us in project and task management. It allowed us to transfer some tasks to another employee along with tracking their time to complete those tasks.

Aspetti positivi:

Workzone has an excellent dashboard that gives all the important information you need to see on the front. Another good feature of Workzone is that it allows users to save their own project as a template.

Aspetti negativi:

Workzone is a good tool for project management but with an outdated interface. It's user-interface needs to be updated. Also, sometimes there is a slight delay that occurs while updating the tasks.

Great Overall Project Management Tool

Commenti: We use Workzone daily within our team to submit and track all marketing projects. As I mentioned, the tool is extremely user-friendly, and they are always adding new enhancements to make it even better. Compared to other project management tools that we've used in the past, WZ is by far the best!

Aspetti positivi:

Workzone had all of the main features we were looking for in a project management tool. It is extremely easy to use, and the support team is excellent and always accessible. The system was easy to implement into our everyday processes.

Aspetti negativi:

There is honestly nothing really negative I can say about Workzone to-date.

Could Have Been Better

Commenti: The experience was OK but we decided to move to another application.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to list the tasks and reuse and upload templates from previous projects.

Aspetti negativi:

The form piece of the application wasn't easy to use or create.

Great app with lots of support

Commenti: Mentioned it above, but their support is really great. You get to know the folks who work there and even though we're not a huge client, we feel totally supported. That really helps with communicating ideas, asking for advice, and making it a useful tool for your company. You're meeting with folks who know their software and not some third-party service reading through a decision chart.

Aspetti positivi:

I've toured a number of project management systems and it's surprising how many can't deliver what needs to get done. WorkZone does a great job at being a functional project management system. Our company needs a blend of project mgmt that is effective, yet not so robust its unwieldy, and WZ really fits the bill. It doesn't have some of the flashy features others might, but often those systems are super pricey, or don't work as advertised. WZ has plenty of features we don't utilize, so I don't mean to make it sound basic. But it works great for our team and does what it needs to, and well. Oh, also, they've been super supportive, great customer service, are continually adding new features, and open to feedback.

Aspetti negativi:

I guess the biggest con is that there isn't an app (like for an iPad), but that's definitely not a deal-breaker. We tested other systems that offered apps and maybe looked prettier, but weren't functional when we kicked the tires. Another con might be that, at the start, it isn't super intuitive (like most new things), but it didn't take long to get your bearings. Again, once we were up and running, it's been really smooth and useful.

Great Project Management Tool for Creative and Managing Projects & Tasks

Commenti: Easiest, most user friendly project management tool I've ever used.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most about Workzone is how easy it is to use - I've used a lot of Project Management tools in my career and Workzone is by far my favorite! Anyone in the organization can be introduced to Workzone and jump right in and start using it. Workzone provides very helpful and easy to understand instructional videos - which is a time saver when there is not a lot of time for formal training or demonstrations. With Workzone, you can upload all of your creative, have it reviewed and approved, and receive edits, feedback in one collaborative workspace. The reporting feature is fantastic with details and is easy to understand, which is helpful when communicating workload or project status updates. I like how you can create your own project template and save them to use for reoccurring projects without having to re-create the wheel each time! Also, there is something to be said about how SUPER easy timelines and tasks are to create! You can see your projects and tasks on a list, Gannt chart, and can even reference a calendar that will show your assigned tasks for the month, week, day or receive a daily or weekly project /task report straight to your inbox. Workzone provides the most visibility to help manage mine and my teams projects. The customer service is top notch with quick responses!

Aspetti negativi:

The cons have more to do with our internal processes and how we can integrate Workzone features with those processes instead of with Workzone itself.

Customer service is stellar

Commenti: Our experience with Workzone has been stellar. From the initial trial period when we were exploring new PM systems, to our onboarding and training, to current customer service and regular check-in calls, the entire Workzone team has been amazing to work with. They work to find solutions, really listen and take feedback to heart, and work hard to customize the system to our individual needs.

Aspetti positivi:

The training and onboarding process with Workzone was incredibly thorough, personal, and customized. The team that worked with us was attentive, quick to answer questions or troubleshoot, and made our transition feel easy compared to similar onboardings with other outside companies.

Aspetti negativi:

Our team wishes that Workzone had some more high-end features for our project management needs, but we've been assured that those features are currently in development--our feedback really feels like it matters to them.

WorkZone for project management, task management, time tracking

Aspetti positivi:

Customer service and training support is awesome, very available and helpful.

Aspetti negativi:

adding tasks is a simple step but after using other PM software, it's not a quick return to enter multiple tasks, so some use excel or other format and import for multiple tasks.

Cantu's review

Commenti: It's been great so far. In comparison to when I first started my job until now. I have understood how to use it better for my job specificially.

Aspetti positivi:

It's a valued tool that keeps track of our projects.

Aspetti negativi:

There is nothing that I'm displeased with at the moment.

Love Work Zone

Commenti: It is user friendly and easy to navigate.

Aspetti positivi:

I like that I can see all my open projects and how successful they are.

Aspetti negativi:

I don't have no dislikes about work zone.

Everything I need to manage design projects

Commenti: Overall, I've had a very good user experience with Workzone over the years. As mentioned, my favorite attribute is their customer service and their willingness to listen and improve their product based on user input. It almost feels like they've customized the product just for me. Also, we literally speak to them face to face through status and update calls or trouble shooting specific issues. No bots or automated calls here.

Aspetti positivi:

With all the great tools that Workzone provides to help me manage multiple projects across different team members, the best thing I like about it is their customer support. They really care that you have success with their product and will work with you to maximize your experience as a user. They always ask for input on how to improve their product and they listen and actually do it!

Aspetti negativi:

This is not necessarily a negative but there are so many tools available that it can be overwhelming sometimes. This also depends on your role and contribution to the shared project. As a designer, I only use the tools that are useful to me but it's nice to know that others can use other features that can help them manage their specific tasks.

A lifesaver for teams needing a flexible and collaborative project management system.

Aspetti positivi:

Workzone has many great collaboration features, such as file approvals, file markup, comment threads, and project and task responsibilities among many more. All of these contribute to a more efficient workflow, allowing our team to complete projects quickly. As we often has several open projects at a time, Workzone's robust filtering options also allow me to focus on only the projects that immediately require my attention, preventing information overload and burnout.

Aspetti negativi:

While Workzone has plenty of amazing features, there are a few features I'd like to see expanded upon. Boards currently have to be tied to a Workspace. An "All Workspaces" Board could help organize tasks that span across multiple Workspaces. One minor feature I'd like to see added is the ability to change the Start or End Date filter to a custom number, instead of the preset 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, etc.

Workzone works

Aspetti positivi:

Intuitive design, great customer service.

Aspetti negativi:

That it alerts my boss when I'm behind on a project, but that's probably a good thing.

excellent software

Aspetti positivi:

its really user friendly and very efficient and helps me to keep organised and on top of my business

Aspetti negativi:

none this is an excellent product that i would definitely recommend

Why I love Workzone

Commenti: Excellent! It had been needed for years in our department.

Aspetti positivi:

Workzone has been the savior of project management for our department, which, ultimately, affects the entire college. It has meant accountability, improved time and project management, the ability for employees outside our department to request projects easily (and if not easily on their end, we help them navigate the process) and so much more.

Aspetti negativi:

I have no problem with it. Once you learn it and you use it daily, like I do, it's simple! There are features, like dependents, that I don't use, but some features I probably haven't even tried yet, and I should try them. I really have no complaints. If I can't figure something out, I work on it myself or I ask Workzone for help, and they are very quick to respond.

WorkZone User

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to navigate and look at project status that I'm waiting for in order for me to proceed with mine.

Aspetti negativi:

I have no Cons at this moment Workzone seems to be working fine for me and my team

Great Software

Commenti: Workzone brought us out of the dark ages!! It has been a pleasure working with Workzone over the last 4 years, it has been an overall great experience!

Aspetti positivi:

When we onboarded Workzone, we did not have a project management software. The integration was very easy, the software is very user friendly. I like the fact that when you check your task complete it notifies the next person in the timeline to start on their task. Workzone has also worked with us to help implement changes to help improve our business.

Aspetti negativi:

One thing that we've discussed with Workzone is the lack of a financial tool within the software. We know this is a project management software, first and foremost, but having that tool would amplify the system.

Awesome tool, even for first time project management platform user

Commenti: It's been a dream!

Aspetti positivi:

The intuitive nature of how the platform is structured makes Workzone a powerful tool for managing projects. But if you need assistance, the level of customer service and support is outstanding! The best I have ever encountered.

Aspetti negativi:

I haven't found one yet, but I'm sure if I and I tell Ben....it will be evaluated for possible resolution!

Intuitive and Effective Project Management Tool

Commenti: The service I've received from the Workzone team has been incredible. I became the administrator of the software during Covid when a large portion of my team was laid off, including our design services specialist. I was experienced with the software as a user but didn't know how to set up workgroups, users, and reporting. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] our account rep., was quick to respond and made sure I got the help I needed to keep things moving. Nearly two years later I'm still serving as admin, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team have been most helpful and patient with my ongoing questions. The Workzone team has been a definite extension of our marketing and design team that has helped us maintain productivity with very limited human resources during these unprecedented times.

Aspetti positivi:

Our team has found Workzone to be an integral part of our project and resource management practices. The software is intuitive, easy to use, and user-friendly. It has allowed us to create efficiencies in managing our limited human resources for graphic design projects.

Aspetti negativi:

There really isn't anything I don't like about the software. It's so comprehensive, I know I haven't built an understanding of how to fully utilize the software.

Helps me keep track of large projects involving many participants!

Commenti: I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience so far. It meets our needs, and if there is ever a question, a nearly immediate response from Workzone support can be expected. If you decide this is the solution for you, USE the support they provide. They'll help you work through your questions and ensure the ideal implementation plan is put in place for you.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to customize this software to meet the wide variety of needs we have within our program. Projects can be big or small. Reporting options give multiple views of task/project status - as detailed or as broad as you would like them to be. Weekly "To Do" email reminders keep all parties abreast of progress, or lack of progress, on specific tasks.

Aspetti negativi:

Can what I like most also be what I like the least? There are so many features and ways to use the system that it might be overwhelming getting started. Take the time and ask for help if you need it. Even if you don't think you need it, talk it through with someone from the Workzone team. It's worth it to get off on the right foot with your planned use and they will have great suggestions for you.

Great Product, Easy to use.

Commenti: I have been very happy with Workzone. Having come from using MS Project Server, Workzone is a much easier piece of software to use for Project Management. MS Project is a bit too robust and not easy to scale down. Customer service has been great, quarterly status update meetings and training how to sessions are above and beyond. Having the same customer success manager really gives it a personal feel.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use, short learning curve for new users. Simplified format. Fantastic customer support.

Aspetti negativi:

Would be nice to have more plug-ins or API for our Microsoft products

Workzone makes project management a snap.

Commenti: Project management is just one of the many facets of my job. After researching several software packages, Workzone met all of our needs for assigning and tracking marketing and design projects and well as task management for our events team. We use Workzone every day and would be lost without it.

Aspetti positivi:

- Ease of use is key. The training we provide for new team members takes about 1/2 hour. -The cost of Workzone (for us, a nonprofit organization) was a pro. We have all the facets of the product we need and the cost is very reasonable (especially compared to other products we tested). - Customer service deserves an "A" if not an "A+". -Because project management is just a facet of our job, WorkZone appealed to us because it had just the right amount of features, without being overwhelming.

Aspetti negativi:

- I wish there were more templates set up for the type of projects we use (design and copy). Now that we've used WorkZone for several years, they may have these, but we've built out own. - You can easily get carried away with email notifications, especially if you oversee many projects/ staff. (This is customizable and probably has more to do with how we choose to use WorkZone.)

Fantastic customer service

Commenti: The professionals at Workzone were always available to assist with one-on-one instruction, team instruction, prompt answers, troubleshooting, and solutions. By making the process and system easy to understand through a customized training video, we experienced a smooth launch to our campus community with a high adoption rate and positive feedback. This proved to be highly beneficial. Despite launching only a few weeks prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were able to work remotely without missing a beat and easily onboard new users.

Aspetti positivi:

A project management system and a standard process for intaking design projects did not exist in our work environment prior to implementing Workzone. Workzone provided the structure we needed while being user-friendly. The dependencies and automated notifications allow for an efficient workflow and ensure projects are kept on track. The customer service is outstanding!

Aspetti negativi:

Our team found the markup functionality to be cumbersome when there are numerous comments/edits as it's difficult to easily tie the comment to the markup on the proof. Fortunately, the folks at Workzone are open to suggestions and are working to improve upon this. The approval status can be confusing when there are multiple rounds because it retains the previous response and approval comment. From the perspective of the admin and contributors, navigation isn't always direct—you're not always taken to the correct project or folder, requiring more clicks to get to the correct place.

Workzone Review_08/17/2020

Aspetti positivi:

It helps with daily project functions and let me know what other team members have on their desks. The Software Training is a 5-star item. This is so important because often people are left to figure things out on their own. Unfortunately in today's busy world if you don't reach out and physically tap someone on the shoulder and say "hello, ..." things get either overlooked or undiscovered. We don't use the software to the fullest and hope to expand of that this coming year.

Aspetti negativi:

What I find a con is not on Workzone's part, it is on my companies management for not being able to expand additional members to use it. The cost is divided here in the US and overseas. It is a brilliant tool and should be used accordingly.

Essential tool for project management!

Commenti: I have used several project management systems throughout my professional career and this is by far my favorite! It is simple to use and it has so many functions to fit your personal needs. I was very supportive of the switch to WorkZone!

Aspetti positivi:

I like how projects are able to be organized at a high level, plus being able to track the progress of each project is a must!

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I think our team is still learning how to best use the features, but it has been a pleasant experience for our group thus far.

Love it!

Commenti: I have been using Workzone for 6 years now and couldn't function without it. It keeps me organized and ensures that none of my projects fall behind. Not only are there graphic indicators when a project is in danger of falling behind, but the email notifications help ensure we stay on target and no items are missed. When I have an issue, or can't figure out how to do something, customer service is incredibly helpful and very very fast at responding! Such a great program and an amazing company that supports it!

Aspetti positivi:

It is incredibly easy to use and takes about 2 minutes to train a new person on. Workzone is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Editing and customizing individual projects is incredibly easy. Reports are easy to create and customize and project info is searchable for those times that my memory fails me.

Aspetti negativi:

There is a slight delay when updating tasks or saving new comments. This could be internet speed based though, so i'm not sure if its a valid "con"
