Luca B. · Manager of project control · Pharmaceuticals · December 18, 2024
Pros: It's a useful and simple scheduling tool. Quick to get on hand.
Cons: Poor customer service. There's no response for license activation email. I left messages on the website, but still no follow-up. It took us more than 3 months to finally have it activated.
Changli W. · Planner · Mining & Metals · December 13, 2024
For interactive planning sessions, it gives more convenience than P6. I tempt to prefer it over other tools during high level planning workshops.
Pros: 1. Drawing timeline representation of activities is easier 2. Participants are convenient understanding the logic thats being built in a sequence 3.
Cons: 1. Navigating among different Fragnets is difficult 2. Zooming in & out could be even better 3. upon inserting a rectangle (specifically), re-shaping it by dragging it from corners is a difficult task. Could be smoother 4. Printing a specific portion of the canvas by selecting could be made available 5. Activity description could have auto fit option

My Overall experience with NetPoint and Net risk is very satisfying and i recommend it to my colleagues . However if you will release official step by step video lectures or tutorial it will be wonderful.
Pros: 1) User friendly interface 2) Good graphics
Cons: 1) If we can get an option to upload bulk activities and resources via excel through import button. 2) I know currently we have a PDF copy of user guide but if we can get a training tutorials for each and every topic it will do wonders. I have seen people trying to avoid the software because of lack of video tutorials for example on youtube.
Sachin K. · Project control Specialist II · Oil & Energy · December 11, 2024
Pros: Schedule summarization and collaboration with stakeholders not versed in CPM scheduling.
Cons: The layout manager can be cumbersome especially when importing P6 schedules.
Richard N. · Senior Project Controls Consultant · Civil Engineering · December 10, 2024
Very good, I am using it to do high-level project planning, then we work on the breakdown
Pros: the graphical interface, that at all times you see what you are doing
Cons: I'm still struggling a little to make the links between activities and milestones. I think it's a matter of practice
Coster M. · Head of Proyect Planning · Mining & Metals · December 10, 2024
Overall, great for presentation & planning
Pros: Easy, good presentation, Work with major scheduling software
Cons: Sometimes it shuts down for no reason even that there is an option to turn on / off show red activities for critical activities, sometimes it works sometimes no
Romany A. · Regional Senior Project Scheduler · Entertainment · December 2, 2024
I think it is extremely valuable for today's students to know various planning software and be able to use the right tool for the opportunity.
Pros: My undergraduate and graduate students find the software very intuitive and demonstrative. They download a trial copy of NetPoint and this works perfectly for short-term assignments (less than 4 weeks in duration) that are used in several courses in our current curriculum.
Cons: Not that this is a problem, but for the students to have an appreciation of what NetPoint does and be able to interpret their schedule, they need a primer on the GPM algorithm to be able to compare against CPM algorithm that is also presented in my classes.
Gerald K. · Director of Construction Engineering and Management Program · Higher Education · September 20, 2022
I have used NetPoint for claim analysis, extensions of time determinations, and arbitration proceedings. Nothing convinces non-schedulers more clearly than a real scheduling program that functions with the simplicity of a visual bar/gantt chart. Critical paths change over time. It is difficult to prove/trace the history of the critical path especially if the schedule is not updated properly. Need to show the critical path left of the data date? Only NetPoint can do this. Non-schedulers don't care about the complexity of the calculations. I use NetPoint to tell the story of how events really happened and measure the reasonable impact of delays. NetPoint will not allow the operator to perform shenanigans with activity relationships.
Pros: It's easy to get started with NetPoint. When you go down the rabbit hole to figure out how every feature works, that's when the power of NetPoint will truly become apparent.
Cons: Schedulers by nature are people with OCD tendencies. The display scaling on ultra high resolution monitors needs to be fixed. I'd like to see a refreshed and more polished user interface / GUI. The node control size of objects is limited to small, medium, large..this drives me nuts sometimes. I'd like more options to control the size formatting of objects. I would also like the Global Edit mode to keep things in place when I close the file, sometimes my edits violate various text/attribute placement parameters...this drives me nuts too. Overall if I leave these features at their default settings, its ok. I don't use printing features...cause they're not that great. I use Take Snapshot, bump up the width option, and save to file.
Gerald R. · Principal Civil Engineer · Civil Engineering · June 10, 2022
Pros: Ease with Schedule risk and cost risk management
Cons: Still using, Didn’t found yet. Overall satisfied.
Vinay K. · Construction Project Engineer · Civil Engineering · June 2, 2022
PMA as a business and NetPoint as a tool have been very supportive and successful platform for our business. Our customers request this tool on many projects and is our standard IAP planning tool for the entire organization. PMA customer service is always willing to help very quickly. They have helped us solve many topics that come up with NetPoint.
Pros: NetPoint offers features unlike any other planning software. The viewing capabilities our project teams can see when we move task is above other planning tools. This allows our teams to become more interactive with the schedule and can really see the logic/dates they are assigning activities.
Cons: Currently none, NetPoint functions properly for our business needs.
Daniel H. · Global Planning Manager · Oil & Energy · June 1, 2022
We are using NetPoint to show project schedules to people that need to understand what is going on but don't know how to read P6.
Pros: Easy to learn and use, many ways to show progress of a project
Cons: Nothing I've found yet, you make a good product that is easy to use and understand. It allows us to show others, not in planning, just what is going on at any given time.
Francis B. · Sr. Project Controls Planner · Entertainment · May 31, 2022
Pros: This is a must have scheduling software for planning professionals
Cons: Ease of use and ability to clearly communicate schedules and workplans
Brian F. · director, project scheduling · Architecture & Planning · May 23, 2022
Happy with the Product overall.
Pros: NetPoint provides an interactive platform to prepare and analyze plans with the team.
Cons: Review of large schedule files with dense relationships is not too easy. Review of multiple schedule files simultaneously isn't easy.
Mahavir B. · Project Controls · Civil Engineering · May 20, 2022
Pros: It is a simple, friendly and fast software, you can work very easily.
Cons: In general it seems very simple, to schedule many tasks
jacqueline m. · jefe de proyectos · Construction · August 2, 2019
big picture plans are easily shared.
Pros: visualization is the primary reason I use this product. It helps to convey strategy better than competitors.
Cons: Netpoint does have a bit of a learning curve and it is not as intuitive as I would like.
Leo M. K. · Portfolio Director · Pharmaceuticals · May 7, 2019
Pros: This software provides schedules that are informative and very easy to read and present to clients.
Cons: Large schedules with many activities slow down computer speed when building or modifying the schedules.
Steven V. · Project Manager · Construction · May 1, 2019
Really have enjoyed using the software and always suggest using it to co workers! Game changer
Pros: Time saver when creating p6 schedule interactive with disciplines Easy to read and understand for non p6 users
Cons: Software lags in performance when dealing with many activities sensitive/touchy when using software.
Hunter B. · Planner · Oil & Energy · April 24, 2019
Very efficient tool to facilitate schedule management work shops involving numerous stakeholders.
Pros: The ease of use and flexibility of the tool is like no other and the ability to export/interface with other tools is a benefit.
Cons: No major issues to identify with the software.
Jason J. · Expansion Manager · Medical Devices · April 24, 2019
I've used Netpoint where schedules were needed to be prepared quickly in front of an audience of non-scheduling experts. I have also used Netpoint together with Netrisk to simply a much more complex P6 schedule for the purposes of running a Schedule Risk Analysis.
Pros: Its an exciting new method of Planning and Scheduling for projects, and Netpoint + NetRisk really does follow the ethos of being a graphical and visual method of preparing schedules
Cons: Often need to be jumping across buttons and menus, and keyboard selection to do this is still quite limited. The formatting of the bars themselves should be more cutomisable.
Anonymous User · Co-Founder & CEO · Computer Software · November 2, 2018
Great customer service and great product
Pros: The ease of use, the software is very easy for a person to jump in with minimal training and be able to use it.
Cons: No comment. It works well for our business and our use.
Daniel H. · Project Control · Oil & Energy · October 30, 2018
Easy quick scheduling. Easy to translate message to owners and executive management
Pros: Extremely User Friendly and visually pleasing. Allows for scheduling flexibility and visualization No Need to worry about scheduling explosions when making changes (MS Project)
Cons: The software does have a capacity for activities. Somewhat bogs down the computer if your schedules are larger in size.
Ryan D. · Civil/Construction Scheduler & Project Controls Manager · Construction · April 12, 2018
The best part about this software is that I can lay down schedules of multiple projects on one sheet and see if there are any overlaps between projects. In addition, it is great to make presentations to the board using this tool
Pros: The best part about the software is the ease of operability and the next best part is you can visualize the schedule which is great for presentations and gives you an overall view of the project
Cons: The things I like least about this software is that while being very user friendly and being great for presentations, it fails to solve the purpose a P6 might be able to solve. It does not allow me to have unique ID codes for activities, tasks etc. though being a great scheduling software it does not provide any cost control features provided by P6
