Genius Project

iPhone

Web-based

Mobile Web App

The complexity of configuration, the user interface that is not user fondly, the amount of small bugs that annoy the user and the lack of integration between the configuration menus.

Too much going on is a bad thing and this is the opposite.

I had certainly expected it to be buggy as with most notes backend, It did prove me wrong.

Very user friendly and an excellent resource. I would recommend this to others for project management.

Overall I was impressed with what the software could do, how helpful the CS was and how it could integrate with other software we already have.

Very useful for project management. If you are running robust swimlane workflows this is an effective tool.

This software we continuous configure ourselfe to fit to our business. Implementation, Configuration and Go-life you can manage within 4-6 weeks. Most colleague could identify  themselfe and their daily work with this very fast.

Extreemly configurable Solution

Genius solution supports very well the process for managing complex projects. In addition, Genius gives good adequate support to users

Good support for complex projects

´The Support provided by developers and Consultants could get from me 5 stars. However, the Commercial part is very weak. Simple questions related to Commercial things takes sometimes over 2 months to be answered although we pay an extra value for higher Quality.

Customer support

It's a good product, with real powerful features regarding PPM needs. Just need to evolve regarding the ergonomy, and the accessibility, no real mobile client!

Use it since one year now! 

Evaluated Genius as an option for implementing a new PM tool enterprise wide.  Spent a month using the tool to consider its fit for business need and ease of use for an organisation that has immature PM standards.

Genius Project - PM Tool

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the review. I'm curious how long you used the tool for - we have very string portfolio management capabilities!

We are using Genius about 5years, the software is very useful and you can manage your portfolio easily. In my point of view, Genius need to find a way to turn faster to access datas in the cloud, in Brazil some regions don't have high speed internet letting people upseted because the time to update the infos.

Genius in Brazil

Hi Gelson,
Thanks for your positive review. I will make sure your feedback about data access in slower internet regions is sent to right person.

it's quite easy to learn for new person to learn this software.
All the sections and sub-sections of this software have great functionality and the software is compatible with all versions of windows. 
even any person can run this software easily.


a tremendous software to use and very politely use all the level person.

Good overall app, many feature so it makes it a little complicated to do easy stuff. Support is sometimes great and sometimes so-so. Overall if you do heavy project management this is a good system.

Dir of Project Management

Thanks a lot Dan! Glad it's working out for you. 

Our small company found this software to be a vital tool in our daily operations. Its interface is easy to use and is perfect for small teams to collaborate.  Assigning tasks to people is easy and we are getting a lot more done since we started using Genius Project software.

Excellent software

I have seen many Project Management tools.  Genius Project surpasses most.  I have used Jira and they are excellent but it is extremely expensive.  Genius Project is excellent for small to medium company.  The product it self descriptive and easy to learn.

Very intuitive 

Thanks for the great feedback, Paul! We're so glad you  enjoy using our solution. 

Using this for PPM processes. Including some gantts fonctions. Everything was quite ok so far.
Upgrade was done in our test environment.

Interresting tool

My company wanted an easy to use project management application for supporting Prince2. The demonstration made by the genius team convinced us that this software could support our company business. Unfortunately, the experience we have done shown tap GeniusProject is very complex to configure, not user friendly at all and complex to use. Therefore we decided to stop using GeniusProject and come back to excel document.

Experience with GeniusProject

Dear Mr. Corbaz,

Thank you for your comments and review.

Since you purchased the product only a few weeks ago, we aren't finished with the implementation and your staff has not yet been trained to use Genius Project, it¿s not possible to provide the feedback that you¿ve given here. It seems there¿s a gap between the maturity of your processes and that which you presented to us. Prince2, Risk Management, and the other mature PM requirements that you mentioned are exactly the kind of needs that our solution addresses. Configuration is an initial process and not a daily effort. Subsequent minor modifications can be carried out without difficulty, since the parameterization does not require any particular computer knowledge and is documented in the Administrator manual. The issue seems to be one of change management. Your users may be more accustomed to managing projects in Excel. We are here to assist you with training and a prioritization of the functions to be implemented. 



I used the product for the 1st time because it was in use at a new company I joined.  I had previously used MS Project.  I liked that the Genius product was a SAAS solution, but it missed the integration I was used to in MS Project.

Genius PM review

Reporting feature and working with aggregated project data is a challenge in Genius Project. Reports need customization above the iff-the-shelf features along with an in-house Genius admin resource to develop/customize reporting.                       

Genius project in Canada

Hi Claudia,
Thanks for your review. I would like to assure you that Genius Project is highly customizable. If you have any questions about how to do this, please contact your sales rep who will be happy to assist you with this!

Provides a robust way to keep track of project, ideas, and manage resources; however, working in higher ed, we were looking for more of a ticketing solution. For an independent marketing/advertising firm, this would be a great tool to utilize with access to reports and dashboards to gain insight to projects and their statuses. 

Robust project management software 

Thanks for your feedback, Stephanie! We do have quite the strong reporting capabilities and dashboards!

Its very easy for me get current status of project and also I can find the past report of a task and project. 

The layout and presentation of the projects are very fine, easy to find require information

Thanks a lot for your positive review Kaushal! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your experience using Genius Project. 

I trialed Genius Project to see if it could meet my company's needs for project management for our new product development. Overall I was impressed with what the software could do, how helpful the CS was and how it could integrate with other software we already have. That said, as a small business with somewhat limited needs on the project management front this was too expensive for us to move forward with. 

Bottom Line: If all you do it Project Management it is probably worth the money no matter your company size, if it is a part-time thing, look for cheaper alternatives.

Trialed this software: Impressed but overpriced

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your honest review. Our product is definitely suited for mid to large sized enterprises. For a smaller company, we would probably recommend a lighter product with less features and functionality. Genius Project really is a complete solution for project-oriented companies!

With Genius Project it is so easy to find the perfect person for a specific function because you can filter your search by factors such as experience, skills and availability. You will receive a reduced list of candidates and you can make the final selection. 

Genius Project is also a good way to maintain communication with your team members. Since we use Genius Project everyone is involved in the project and is able to stay in touch from any computer or mobile device.

Most of this web based online project management system is intuitive but a little bit difficult to navigate. But once you are familiarized with all the features and tools it is a well-rounded application. 

A good way to maintain communication with your team members

I had certainly expected it to be buggy as with most notes backend, It did prove me wrong. I found the CRM portion quite useful and would have appreciated more homogeneity with other notes based PM software but given an opportunity I would roll it the red carpet in my current organization as well. Hope and wish that it stands up to big players like Salesforce and Peregrine.

Had a chance to run with this in previous job at panasonic

Hi Kunal,
Thanks for your positive feedback. We do not compete with Salesforce or Peregine as our business is not in CRM but more in Enterprise Project Management. 

I was impressed from the first time I used this application.   I am an avid user of all project management software as I've managed PMOs throughout my 25 year professional career.  The application is end-user friendly and the navigation is not complex so easy to learn.

Genius Project on Capterra 

Hi Otis,
Thank you for the positive review. 

This application works well for what it is.  It just wasn't what our team was looking for.  We needed more of a task management tool (less project management), that allowed for flexibility in custom fields and linking tasks across projects.

Works Well, But Not For Me

Thanks for the review, Maggie. Our solution is quite flexible and adaptable to different industries, languages etc. That being said, you are right that Genius Project is much more of a project management software than task management! You may find our newest solution, Cerri Enterprise Apps much more suitable for your task management needs (www.cerri.com)

Very simple interface with limited reporting capabilities 

I have been using Genius Project for the last couple of months and it has been really useful and helpful in my day to day hectic life.

Loving this handy piece of software

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for this awesomely positive review!

Easy to start using, little bit lacking on information on how to do the more advanced stuff. Would be handy to have more case studies and concrete examples on how to use.

Useful tool

Thanks for your feedback, Ash! We encourage you to get in touch with your rep to assist you with using the solution to its full capacity.
