Inspire Planner

A great app that has increased efficiency across my company

Avantages :

Easy to use, easy to train new staff, quite intuitive. Requires very little effort to get up and running. Customer support is fantastic. They were even able to implement some custom functionality that we requested when we signed on.

Inconvénients :

The inability to have multiple people editing the project or project tasks simultaneously has caused some issues and confusion on my team.

Timely Solution for Task Planning

Avantages :

Inspire Planner has accurate and acceptable time tracker, which makes every project to have adequate time.

Inconvénients :

Inspire Planner is dynamic in handling all the tasks related challenges.

Good "starter pack", but doesn't scale

Avantages :

Low cost, easy to implement, good user interface.

Inconvénients :

Lacks key capabilities, weak roadmap, very vendor-dependent.

Inspire Planner to Inspire People

Commentaires : it improves the teamwork in my company, leaders able to monitor the performances of the team.

Avantages :

Able to create and share projects timeline & update within the team. Its a great tool to track your works as well. Like the layout of project plan especially the gaatt chart, well-designed!

Inconvénients :

hope that there will be auto-saved feature as you have to save your project manually after each update. Its not smart enough to compete with other software.

Effective Tool with Good Features

Commentaires : After using the inspire planner app for a couple of months, I have had a great experience, and we are currently planning to roll it out to the rest of my company as our primary PM tool. Their customer service and support is excellent, and the app strikes a great balance between having enough features to be effective but not so many that it is hard to use or understand.

Avantages :

I like the fact that this tool integrates with Salesforce tasks as a native application. Often apps come with their own sets of objects and this makes adoption more difficult, but project managers are able to assign tasks and subordinates see those show up just like any other Salesforce task. The portfolio view is also quite effective for project managers at gaining a great perspective of project progress, delays, and resource allocation. Finally, the ability to assign project tasks to users who do not have a license is a great feature that allows us to work with partners rather than be limited to our internal users.

Inconvénients :

It is a challenge to structure operational tasks, as opposed to project tasks, since these also use resources but are not specific to any particular project. You are able to create a generic project to put these in, but this is not always a perfect solution.
