ManagePro

Commentaires: As a long time 'organizer' by position, I have searched long and hard for a multi-tasking, event-planning, to-do organizing program that allows me to customize it to my personal preferences. I have been through a bunch of them (I won't name them here) but I go back to the '80's with these kinds of PIMs and this one has put them all to shame. I specifically started looking for an updated program that would allow me customize my team and projects in October. I downloaded roughly 5 different programs that had been recommended or suggested to me until I stumbled upon ManagePro. Upon researching it's capabilities I decided to give it a shot and I haven't looked back since. From the moment I started my free trial, I received unbelievable support. Walking me through the characteristics of the program, getting a sense of 'best practices' and finding their availability to assist completely accommodating.

Avantages: Highly powerful, very customizable program with awesome sales support!! In fact one of their support team who I had been dealing with, went so far as to respond to me from her vacation in Hawaii!! Seriously, above and beyond helpfulness. Great program allowing for multiple views, of various projects, agendas, calendars, to-do's etc. I highly recommend this program and support team.

Inconvénients: A little pricey, but very powerful and the initial cost is greatly reduced after year 1. The 'Help' and Manual are VERY confusing due to the incredible amount of options available with the program. That being said, the sales support team is incredible and available to the point that I've never really worried about the Manual's complexity. I highly recommend this product for all management types (with reporting responsibilities), project managers, organizational needs, personal organization, calendering, task management, etc.

Avantages: ManagePro provides a powerful suite of features to assist professional consultants and project managers to achieve their outcomes regardless of whether their client is an SME or large corporate enterprise. The product provides a one stop suite of customisable interfaces to identify and track strategic and/or program issues, monitor performance and assess/report on areas that need prioritisation and follow-up, whilst also including the most essential tools used for program and portfolio management such as gantt chart interface, what's due, by whom and by when.

Inconvénients: Possibly the key aspect of getting the most out of this unique application is investment in training and/or hands-on usage prior to client engagement.

Commentaires: At first it was a great organizational tool.

Avantages: I was a good organizer of projects and people. It used to be easier to use before the last three updates came along. I even had the support team come out to my plant and train me in person. The problem is that this software like a lot of sophisticated programs is hard to get people on board and use it. I was a loyal supporter for many years

Inconvénients: Got too complicated to teach others and have them use it effectively. The complicated part was how to set up the different functions and be able to retrieve the data quickly because some of the data was buried a few layers deep in subject.

Commentaires: Made me a top leader for keeping up with all delegation to management teams and allowed for me to ensure they were able to do the same. When fully implemented MPro is the best management software in the market. Nothing comes close and I have bought and researched lots of alternative products to test

Avantages: The ability to hole everyone accountable and to not have the excuse of I forgot be removed as an excuse for not completing an assigned task. Allowed me to also not forget the hundreds of delegating I did with my teams.

Inconvénients: Became to cumbersome compared to earlier platform. Currently not being compatible with IOS or Android is cumbersome and not efficient for expediency.

Commentaires: Organization

Avantages: Display format. The display is easy to set levels of importance and priorities. It also has the function of setting priorities and due dates. The ability to premote or demote items is nice. The printing of reports is very flexible.

Inconvénients: You must now the software intimately to use it, the tool bar is too complex and not definitive. Trying to rmember what all the functions mean is difficult if you do not use the software every day of the week.
