Pros and cons

The ActionR is very easy to operate and user friendly. The good part of this software is that everything is documented and there is no need for any separate Minutes.
I can feel the excellence in user friendly, speed, easy to manage projects,team and reports.
Difficult to convert users, especially Project Managers, who are current users of other packages such as SmartSheet.
Visibility is hidden from many users. It is difficult to get holistic views.

ActionR

Reviewed 2 years ago

It enabled us to completely streamline our project management processes, both internally and externally. As a manager it's been a dream for me personally, enabling me to zoom out and view ongoings at a topline level whilst also being able to zoom in and keep track of all the granular details.

Pros

Literally everything we wanted from our Project Management platform. Great user experience, functionality, ease of use.

Cons

Initially not being able to book meetings through the software and instead having to do this separately was something that wasn't completely ideal, but this functionality has since been added and in fairness it looks to me like the team here are really on the ball and are continually improving and optimising this platform. I see new integrations and added functionalities being added all of the time and anytime I've needed them they have been really quick to get back to me.

Vendor response

Thanks for your review Bobby. We have now incorporated an automatic meeting function with capability for the Project Manager to run meeting with relevant teams and the system automatically generates reports and emails to all active users of ActionR. We are also in the process of adding more enhancements for providing graphics on the reports, and including capability to set and monitor KPI's for the team

Great Tool, easy to implement and use. Scalable.

Reviewed 2 years ago

My company was engaged by a major multinational pharmaceutical company to setup a multimillion-euro project in Europe. We had project team members located in the US and Europe and in several countries within Europe. The team where split across multiple companies, all with different IT systems and the use of a cloud-based system meant everyone could access the service without tripping individual...

Pros

Once set up the ActionR software can be accessed from anywhere - either by a browser or via dedicated apps on iOs and Android. The look and feel is as similar as possible across the platforms. It was extremely scalable with the "pay per user" model we just added people when we needed them.

Cons

The product is still evolving and new features where being added constantly, this meant we weren’t always aware of all the capabilities or how to access them.

Vendor response

Thanks Ian for your detailed feedback listing all the beneficial features in ActionR. We are constantly striving to enhance the ActionR package and we are currently working on getting a Kanban view, adding time-tracking for each task and providing pie-charts on reports and meeting reports. We are hearing from our clients

P.Duffy User Review

Reviewed 2 years ago

Very good tool that I am looking to expand the use of.

Pros

Ease of use, nice summaries. It could develop into a very powerful Project Management tool. Meeting minutes and notes functions are nice.

Cons

Visibility is hidden from many users. It is difficult to get holistic views. It is currently set up to track actions only but could easily be configured to give more beneficial project controls information. Next phase functionality is displayed but not usable.

Vendor response

Thanks Padraic. We are constantly working to enhance additional features on ActionR. We are including features of time tracking for each task with capability to set and manage individual team members KPI. We are also in the process of incorporating Kanban view which will provide task status more visibly on the table.

ActionR recommendation

Reviewed 2 years ago

My experience with ActionR has been very positive, I would like to use it for all future projects as it provides a one stop shop for essential project management communications and action/decision tracking.

Pros

ActonR is a very smart tool for handling essential project management action registers. It's a user friendly system which simplifies issuing of meeting minutes and status updates.

Cons

Having to log in to another system is the only drawback. Having access via Teams would make it even more user friendly.

Vendor response

Thanks for your review Tom. We value your feedback and check how to incorporate this software in Teams. We are constantly improving and adding additional features. Thanks for your support

My experience on the use of ActionR.

Reviewed 3 years ago

ActionR is an excellent tool for Project Management .It has helped me in effective Project Monitoring throughout the project lifecycle. The review mechanism during the project design phase, C&Q phase are lot more focused and fruitful. It also helps us to prioritize our actions based on the business need.

Pros

As a project Manager ,the Action register has helped me to review and manage the issues with the external vendors and internal teams more effectively .Every action is time bound and we get an alert that the action is due and needs to be responded/addressed. The ActionR is very easy to operate and user friendly.The good part of this software is that everything is documented and there is no need for any separate Minutes. Moreover there is harmonization/standardization interms of the reports/discussions with different teams/vendors/contractors.

Cons

I don't see any cons in this software at the moment. This is a wonderful and robust tool to focus on the issues/actions prevailing and work towards finding a solution.

Vendor response

Thanks Bhushan for your feedback and glad you are enjoying working with ActionR package

Great Program to have around in your Construction Project

Reviewed 2 years ago

ActionR is a good program to control big Projects with lots of interactions. The procedure is easy and is quite fast to open, update and close actions. A must for a complicated project.

Pros

I love that it lets you have all the developments relevant to an action including support documentation. All easily uploaded and tidily kept in an easy to reach format. I also find the minutes of meeting tool to be really useful

Cons

If you are not an administrator is not possible to have an overlook of the opened actions

Vendor response

Thanks Marcos. The access rights set up for each user provides adequate visibility to review and update the individual tasks and also have an overview of all team tasks. Unless someone is a Project Manager, the system does not allow access to all open actions.

Secure Task Manager

Reviewed 3 years ago

I personally feel this is a kind of quick and easy tool to manage your tasks for a small - mid team Export of document as PDF, DOC were designed ultimately which is pretty powerful And Import feature allows onboarding to ActionR which saves a lot of time to migrate your existing tasks etc..

Pros

- Highly secured task manager with clear audit etc.. - Meetings minutes and powerful search - Summarized view of tasks - One user login per session

Cons

- Sub task is no where link to the parent task

Vendor response

Thanks Naveen. Multiple sub-tasks can be created for the main parent task and main task cannot be closed until all sub-tasks are closed. We will work on ActionR to implement control in place that the sub-task deadline is linked to main task deadline. Thanks for your feedback

String ActionR

Reviewed 2 years ago

Till date the best of experience

Pros

I think the best in features, it will be a great software, its agnostic features helps them not to be Industry Specific. any layman can use, easy to administer, monitored,communicate, appraise...for an organisation its not any vertical specific, any dept can use this, dashboard is user friendly...and many more

Cons

I have recommended for time tracking to be embedded, which will be the best feature for the software, and it will be the best tool for manager to monitor and appraise

Vendor response

Thanks Naressh for your review. We are currently working on implementing time tracking for each action and thanks for your valuable feedback

Good. Can the costing could be added to the task so that based billing would be generated.

Pros

Flexiblity in addition and removal of team members and track

Cons

Reassignment of task would be provided to the least user, the datetime (revised date would be more comfortable)
