Easy PM software to learn. Great functionality and reporting features!
Date: Apr 20 2023SummaryI like the fact that WorkOtter has a sandbox so that a new user can learn to use worry-free, as well as plan with employee hours and budget - such a great feature. The Template Project makes things very user friendly and interactive, and you can edit easily. The drag and drop feature to change deadlines is fantastic. It is lightning-fast and synchs with Microsoft Project making it extremely easy.. I feel like it will be a timesaver for new users to learn and to centralize everything. There’s no searching through tabs or drop-downs - the menu is straight and to the point. The report functions are great for presentations, data tree is such a cool feature!
PositiveReporting features (specifically the strategy tree chart and bubble chart) are great for meetings/presentations. I find the visual reports very effective and you can see where things are with just a glance. If anyone asks a question, it's usually just a few clicks away. Very user friendly. You can tell that it was developed by people with experience using PM software as WorkOtter takes out all of the little nuances that can become tedious over time. I didn’t feel intimidated by WorkOtter like I have with programs such as Jira, which I find overwhelming. Straightforward reporting, easy to train new users, and great integration capabilities.
NegativeNo cons that I can think of. It integrates with Excel and MS Project, which is all that I need. If you wanted to integrate with another application, it could be an issue - but just using WorkOtter on its own is more than enough. If you like "flashy" - this might not be for you. If you like functionality and ease of use, this IS for you.

How good is WorkOtter? My Devs are the team's first converts!
Date: Oct 06 2022SummaryOverall: This is a thoughtfully designed platform, particularly for technical project management, no matter your team member's individual skill set. WorkOtter is an absolute slam dunk in my office.
PositivePros: The WorkOtter interface provided an intuitive project macro overview and more granular detail than I should be allowed. For my dollar, it provides the most intuitive PM Software for staff of all technical skill levels.
NegativeCons: I'm slightly annoyed that everyone in the office now wants to get their grubby mitts on my cool new project management software. Otherwise, no complaints so far.

Made my life easy
Date: Sep 14 2022SummaryAs a Project Manager and managing 6 people with multiple projects, WorkOtter is the best solution I have used so far.
PositiveI like that from the Dashboard, you can really see the progress of multiple project you are doing with an actual visual on the progress.
The best thing I like about it is WorkOtter is agnostic and you can integrate with other software like excel. So if you have any information that you wanted to show in excel or Microsoft project, you can definitely use it. There are also several templates available which is cool and makes my life easier.NegativeI would appreciate some cooler UI, but it's really not a deal breaker and I'm just being picky with colors.

Impeccable and thoughtful design, *and* somehow gives you complete control
Date: Sep 19 2022SummaryOverall, It is obvious the designers are project managers with an intimate understanding of PM who sought to create a product to make their own lives easier; the perfect kind of inspiration. PM products are directly tied to efficiency and effectiveness. WorkOtter maximizes both – and makes it difficult not to.
PositiveThe process of using WorkOtter is superlative. The interface is responsive and gives you powerful, comprehensive oversight and highly granular control over all aspects of a project; all with the most intuitive interface I have encountered with PM software. This all facilitates more completed projects on time and within budget. As I am also an IT Administrator for my organization, setup and onboarding is a breeze as well.
NegativeN/A.
