Projectworks

Pros: I like how simple it is to use. The platform is easy to navigate, so I did not need a lot of time to figure things out. It gives us a lot of useful features without costing too much. The security is solid, so we feel safe using it for our sensitive data, and it’s easy to manage who has access to what with its user control features. Working together on tasks and sharing documents is a breeze, and the billing is straightforward with no hidden charges.

Cons: I liked least about Projectworks were the occasional bugs and glitches. While it usually works well, sometimes certain features don’t function as expected, which can cause delays in our work. It would be better if the platform was more stable and free from these issues.

Pros: I liked how easy it was to get started. The learning curve was smooth, so I did not have to spend a lot of time figuring things out. It also felt secure, with strong protection for my data and clear access controls, so I knew my information was safe. The platform is definitely worth the money, as it offers a lot of features that help keep projects organized and save time. Collaboration with my team was seamless, with real-time updates, shared tasks, and easy document sharing. While there were a few minor bugs here and there, they were quickly addressed by the support team. Managing user access was also simple, allowing me to control who sees and edits what. Lastly, the billing was clear and straightforward, with flexible payment plans that fit my team’s budget.

Cons: The design of the platform works, but it is not always easy to use. Some parts felt a bit messy, and it took me some time to figure out how things worked. A simpler and cleaner design would make it much easier for new users to find their way around without getting confused.

Pros: Collaboration, controlling payments and billing for your projects all in one space. It's not only business projects also research projects. I like having visibility over progress and financials without jumping between tools, and collaboration feels smoother when everyone works in the same system.

Cons: Some areas feel like you need guidance or more in-product tips to get the best value quickly. I also noticed occasional performance slowness when loading heavier pages.

Pros: My fav features are the timelines and reminders. The time tracking works well too and keep us on track of all the project deadlines. Reports and dashboard are visual which are especially useful when coordinating across different teams and easy to share with our partners.

Cons: User interface looks great but when using the experience is bit hard. So what would be better for the users, is that only essential features can be near like on sidebar and advanced or less used features can be under the settings so it be easy for lite users.

Pros: As a startup manager, it's always helpful to see your startup progress, tasks and resources in one dashboard. You really need this just like you will need ClickUp to keep you updated on resources and to be able to manage the whole business in one dashboard.

Cons: Bad customer service! I applied for a demo, but no one has gotten back to me. Why I need to schedule a demo to try this platform? The experience should be offered immidetly for each customer with automating the process not waiting for another human being to get back to me! If this was not available, you can put a demo data where you can see how this platform actually works.

Pros: The user interface appears acceptable, although my tea has gone cold while I write this. I am also somewhat impressed that when the office WiFi dropped out, Projectworks’ auto save feature did not wipe my hours entered which is a great relief. Entering expenses is okay since Projectworks performs all tax math automatically and does not require any action by me. In addition, it has not crashed for me which is a definite plus.

Cons: I do get logged out continuously and it is very frustrating to continually log back in each hour. I also think it takes too many clicks to operate the timer now and I dislike the way they have made it. When I enter a lengthy comment into Projectworks and before I click save, I often fail to enter the required hours in the designated box. Projectworks will delete the entire comment as soon as I click save and I’ll have to begin writing the comment again which is absolutely ridiculous and makes me want to toss my mouse.

Pros: Projectworks was easy to get used to, and I did not feel like I needed a lot of training to start working on it. I also liked that it feels secure since I can control who can access important project and employee details. It is good value for money because it covers most day to day project needs in one place. Collaboration is smoother since everyone can see what is going on and who is responsible for what. Tracking expenses is also straightforward, so budgets do not get messy.

Cons: Sometimes it has small bugs that slow me down, like pages not loading properly or needing a refresh to see updates. These issues are not huge, but they are annoying when I am trying to finish work quickly.

Pros: it's easy to keep track of time. it only takes one click to go, not hard at all. Budget forecasting is a useful tool. We now know how much money is left after not knowing before. A lot of help for the boss. It works well to connect to Xero. The invoice goes straight through, and there are no copy-and-paste errors.

Cons: the app on my phone is a little slow sometimes. when i try to put in cost, it load and loads. need to fix this issue.

Pros: I really like Projectworks for its simplicity and ease of use. It makes timesheets simple and quick to fill in, saving me time and effort. The ease of invoicing hours as a consultant is particularly beneficial, and the initial setup was very simple.

Cons: Nothing of note, I think the platform is simple and effective for what it needs to do. Further integrations for invoicing could be a handy future product.

Pros: I like that everything is in one place. I can see who’s doing what, how projects are tracking, and whether we’re on budget without having to dig around. It feels simple and clean, and it just makes sense. And the new redesign is a big plus, it feels fresher and even easier to navigate, which makes the day-to-day stuff quicker.

Cons: Honestly, not much. The setup takes a bit of thought, especially if you want everything to line up with how you actually work. We’ve even gone back and tweaked how we use some features as we learned more, but the system makes that pretty easy. Other than that, no real deal-breakers. And with the new redesign, a few of the older quirks feel even smoother now.

Pros: I love how Projectworks makes my work life easier with its user-friendly and intuitive interface, which feels very organic to navigate. The ability to effortlessly lodge hours and leave, along with quick retrieval and export of financial data into formats like Excel, is invaluable. The initial setup of Projectworks was straightforward, and this seamless process has contributed to its continued use in my team. I appreciate how Projectworks effectively addresses resourcing and budget allocation issues, making it an integral part of my workflow.

Cons: I would like to see an interactive dashboard with better integration with the resourcing data of the extended workforce. It would be useful to have metrics such as the percentage of workers who are under-resourced, over-resourced, and average-resourced. Additionally, a small dashboard displayed in each tab, rather than only in the 'dashboard' tab, would enhance usability.

Pros: Admin tasks are easy to handle, from creating accounts to setting roles and permissions. The SSO setup reduces access issues, and the finance and reporting integrations help avoid manual work. Updates come regularly and improve the product without extra effort on my side.

Cons: Reporting can feel limited when I need very specific data, so I sometimes export and build my own reports. Some advanced settings take time to learn, and the system can be a bit slow when loading large datasets, though it doesn’t happen often.

Pros: I like timer on project works tool and I usually like the way their app runs smoothly without bugs or issue

Cons: I don't like customization of projectwork it takes extra additional time to fully understand that's what i dislike about the tool

Pros: what I liked most about Projectworks is how seamlessly it connects project planning, time tracking, and financial reporting in one place. The interface feels clean and intuitive, so managing tasks and monitoring progress never felt overwhelming.

Cons: the main downside of Projectworks is that some of the more advanced features take a bit of time to fully understand. There’s a learning curve when exploring deeper financial or reporting tools. I also found that customization options could feel somewhat limited depending on what you want to tailor.

Pros: $78

Cons: I find the reporting functionality in Projectworks could be improved since, in certain cases, it is easier for me to export the data and create custom reports externally. Another issue is that the platform occasionally experiences slowness, though it usually doesn't last for extended periods.

Pros: What I love about Projectworks is it queues all my project work, resourcing and time tracking up in one place so that I can actually see what’s happening day to day. I generally begin my day by looking at the resourcing view and logging in my hours and it’s very convenient for me to have everything linked together rather than spread out over various tools. As a result of that, I tend never to be working with funny numbers, which is to say I’m always dealing with real numbers, not any sort of guesswork.

Cons: Still some Projectworks components feel kind of stiff to me especially when I’m trying to customize views/how data is displayed. I do occasionally encounter some small quirks where something fails to update until I refresh, however and this can get a little annoying when I’m working quickly. Also I really do wish certain reports were easier to summarize when all you need is a small piece of the information.

Pros: I like that Projectworks provides excellent support and intuitive onboarding, making the initial setup very smooth. The tool effectively aids in project financial management through time tracking, invoicing, expense management, and internal project management. It offers significant insights through great data analytics and flexibility in formats, helping in tracking multiple organizations within a single tool. The custom reporting feature stands out as a distinct advantage, providing necessary differentiation and value. Additionally, the responsive team facilitates a seamless transition by efficiently uploading historic data. The fidelity of the user privileges, and the single-sign on for security are big positives too.

Cons: I find that the expenses management feature in Projectworks is still a bit of an afterthought. It's frustrating that I can't email receipts with invoices automatically or generate a comprehensive expense report. Additionally, linking an expense ID to the breakdown report is not possible, limiting the depth of financial tracking and reporting. The lack of these features makes managing expenses more cumbersome than it should be.

Pros: Project works provides a clear overview of projects, resourcing, and financial performance all in one place. The ability to forecast revenue and staff utilisation makes it much easier to plan workloads and manage budgets. The interface is intuitive once set up, and the reporting tools are powerful for monitoring performance at both project and company level. Their support team is also responsive and genuinely helpful.

Cons: Some areas can feel like a slow process, for example, editing timesheets or retroactively updating project budgets requires extra steps. The integration options could be broader, and the initial setup and permissions configuration can take time to get right. However, once implemented, the system runs smoothly.

Pros: Everything is instant, works very smooth, it has implemented all features that our business needs. Regular updates keep the app better every time

Cons: Till now we like everything about Projectworks. It is supporting our business needs fully. We are using it from day1 of our company and it was great to grow together.

Pros: I appreciated how user-friendly Projectworks is — it simplifies project tracking and reporting without unnecessary complexity. The dashboards and data visibility make it easy to stay on top of timelines and budgets.I appreciated how user-friendly Projectworks is — it simplifies project tracking and reporting without unnecessary complexity. The dashboards and data visibility make it easy to stay on top of timelines and budgets.

Cons: At times, Projectworks can feel a bit complex to navigate, especially for new users. A more streamlined interface or clearer onboarding process would make it even more efficient.

Pros: $79

Cons: The inability to directly invoice from Projectworks and add necessary attachments from our server is one area they could enhance. Currently, I have to export invoices to Xero, as I can't modify the email or include additional attachments directly within Projectworks. I wish Projectworks had the capability for customising emails as you are sending them out and attaching documents from our server, to streamline the invoicing process entirely within the platform.

Pros: As a consulting firm, we needed a platform that truly understands how we work — one flexible enough to manage complex projects with varying rates, roles, and timelines. The newest updates have made a noticeable difference, with a cleaner interface and improved usability that makes navigating projects much smoother. What really sets this tool apart is the ability to see profit margins by project and adjust costs directly at the project level — that insight has been invaluable for keeping both our financials and staffing in balance. Unlike other software we’ve tried that never quite fit our workflow, this platform delivers a seamless experience across financial, people, and project management functions. Finally, their customer support team is exceptional — highly responsive, even across time zones, and genuinely committed to finding solutions. They stay with you until your issue is resolved. It’s a rare combination of capability, adaptability, and service that makes this platform stand out.

Cons: ProjectWorks does take a little time to get accustomed to. Some of the language and functions weren’t as intuitive as what I was used to with other tools. However, once I spent a bit of time exploring and becoming more familiar with the system, it became super easy to use and the layout made much more sense.

Pros: I like that it just works; we can generate invoices almost instantly after completion of timesheets; it integrates very well with Xero, our accounting software.

Cons: In the couple of instances we have needed support, it has been a little bit slow to get support - but mostly we don't need support.
