WorkOtter

Web-based

Project Manager

WorkOtter staff are very friendly and helpful. They are good communicators and easy to work with.

Sr PM and Founder

It is a user-friendly software to work with. I would like to mention that the dashboards integrations are great and the way how you can monitor and track resources is great.

Training Manager

I would highly recommend this to other project managers. The cost of the product is amazing for everything you get with this program.

Also really like the ability to quickly review FTE capacity on the same page and switch resource time. The fact you can customise the display to the individual users requirements is a great touch.

Program Coordinator

It has been a great addition to organize and properly resource our tasks and projects. The sandbox is a great resource to plan out future possibilities and move tasks around as needed.

This software is perfect for individual user and integrates perfectly for team use across the board.

From the sales staff's relaxed but knowledgeable interaction at the beginning, to easily implementing the software for our team; every bit of the experience was great.

Dashboards that can be customized. What's even more amazing is that these dashboards are community-based, so improvements and additions are being made constantly.

I love this product for it's gorgeous, easy-to-use dashboards. It's so customizable and intuitive in matters of personalization.

You can create a business process flow - which is super helpful.

Customization ability of dashborads and displays, to see what's the most important for me to follow up depending on the project I'm working on.

Project Management Consultant

I have not yet found anything so far that I dislike about the software.

Great software for project planning. Easy to use to track time and status.

I had a great experience with their sales team. The sales staff was extremely knowledgeable, was open with pricing, and (most importantly) not pushy.

Project Consultant

The customer service is second to none and staff are on hand and assigned to help the client immediately to implement their expectations.

Administrative Assistant

I am from Brazil and they support English only. I already mailed them with this suggestion but no ETA yet.

There is no way to track time inside of the application via timer.

Project Coordinator

This software is new for us so we are still working through it but so far there have been no drawbacks.

Asana

Kantata

With WorkOtter, I am able to curate and monitor all Project, team and task management activities from a central point without having to integrate too many other apps.

WorkOtter is Amazing

They have a trial phase that makes you comfortable getting used to the platform. The customer support was always there to help.

User friendly and all solutions in one place!

You can tell that project managers designed WorkOtter - it's very user-friendly, even for non-PMs. The interface is quite intuitive, which is not always the case with other PM Software. It was easy to set up from the beginning and migrate the data over. Good price for value. 

PM software created by Project Managers 

Best overall project management tool I have had the pleasure to work with.

Over the moon with WorkOtter

No problems!  It keeps everyone on the same page, that's just brillant!Great customer service, that's a big plus!

I Am So Glad I Found WorkOtter!

Managing Your Projects Like a Pro: A Review of WorkOtter

Overall, It is obvious the designers are project managers with an intimate understanding of PM who sought to create a product to make their own lives easier; the perfect kind of inspiration. PM products are directly tied to efficiency and effectiveness. WorkOtter maximizes both – and makes it difficult not to.

Impeccable and thoughtful design, *and* somehow gives you complete control!

WorkOtter's sales team has been very responsive to all our questions and provided is with a great onboarding experience.

The software itself is very robust and responds well to our needs in managing our projects.

Simplified Project Management

I have used other PM tool like Microsoft Project, Monday.com Smartsheet however I like WorkOtter most because of its UI design, very responsive and pretty my can do anything that I can imagine with this tool

Easy PM tool for end user 

Everyone we have worked with so far have been very knowledgeable, friendly and very eager to help you and your company.

Project Managers Best Friend 

I can't get over easy integration is, and how many benefits I've gained from using this software. All of the things I always wanted but never found in other project management software is finally here. 

One of the most powerful project management tools I've ever used.

We needed something to bring together all the features we needed (and were using too many programs to accomplish) and WorkOtter did that.

WorkOtter lets me keep track of ALL my puzzle pieces

The overall experience has been overwhelmingly exciting, and the people who are involved with this software played a large part in this. The sales officials, support team, and installation guides have all instilled a sense of trust in me with WorkOtter. There were a few confusing moments throughout the learning process, and the staff on-call through WorkOtter really took charge of the situation for us. Every question we have had has been answered and in a satisfying way. 

This Was the Right Choice!

I would say 'WOW '! My experience was really great. It was far more intuitive that I expected. For even an employee of mediocre knowledge, any of our personnel would be able to get up to speed with this very quickly. So our employees wouldn't need to spend an exorbitant amount of time in training.. 

The reporting is truly amazing & advanced. For example, when you click on the ‘reports’ dropdown, there are so many great reports to choose from, depending on what our managers are desiring that particular day. This for me is really key. And from what I can tell so far, they are very visually appealing as well (high color, dashboard animations, seeing multiple metrics on the same dashboard, how data bubbles change over time, etc).  Overall, I am very pleased with the aesthetics & ease-of-use.

Incredibly interactive, illustrative, imaginative & engaging. Love it! 

WorkOtter has been a pleasure to work with! It is extremely user friendly for our most tech-savvy employees to those who struggle with new technology. I highly recommend this software for project management needs. 

WorkOtter to WorkBetter!

Our small but growing agency has been using a combination of Asana and Smartsheets for years. This is because a large portion of our team are creatives (designers/video editors), we used Asana for internal comms and the KANBAN style board to get this work from ideation to development, and finally to distribution.  We used smartsheets to keep our client's up-to-date with completed work doneand invoicing. As our work has gotten more complex, we started seeing the need to fully combine these two systems: automate.io was the only solution on the market and even this looked like it would make things more complicated to keep the system working over time. We needed something that worked and didn't require constant updates to the API. Thats's when we were told about WorkOtter. Our sales person was able to answer all of our questions, and helped us find solutions to our current Best Practices. It was like he had a solution for everything we threw at him!

Where has WorkOtter been my entire PM life???

Great experience! The 30 day implementation plan launched us into using WorkOtter effectively and helped us grow into the tools and capabilities. The support team is fabulous and invested in our success. 

Platform to grow with

If you are managing many projects and teams on multiple platforms you will love this product. 

WorkOtter has made my workload  much easier leaving me time for more critical tasks.

First of all, we are happy we picked WorkOtter because now it’s easier to see what my collaborators are doing and if they do it well. Also, we are more organised and the efficiency is better now and it was a problem in my company because we made a good work but we had long time results. Also, WorkOtter hadn’t some surprises like putting pressure to buy more and it made us more comfortable with this software.

My best way to save time

The teams are informed and quickly set up. From implementation to support, we enjoyed our experience. 

Highly functional

There are so many benefits WorkOtter has brought to our company. We never realized how broken our communication was before using the software. We were not meeting deadlines and everyone always seemed to be on a different page when it came to making decisions. Communication is key when it comes to project management, WorkOtter helped us realize that.

By far the best project management software!

We became better organized on the portfolio and projects levels. We have better control on smaller things, which always slip away. The most important outcome is that we can see the better picture now and make better decisions.

Just amazing set of tools and functionality! There is everything I need in one place.

Ilya and her team were rock stars and made implementing the project and portfolio features so easy on us.

We also appreciate your willingness to share your dashboards with our other users via the dashboard library.

We have had many positive comments on the resource and executive dashboard you built and your willingness to "pay it forward" is a testament to your passion for PPM practices!

Incredibly user friendly. Easy to use. Broad range of features. Amazing customer support.

WorkOtter allows us to actively manage our projects and it has rich functions available to customize, create, and track any and every part of the project from every stage. It is used in any sector that needs project management. It really hits the nail on the head when it comes to resource management and organization. It also has a custom feel because it can be tailored depending on the customer sometimes. This aids in productivity because it is adequately sets up the system for our company's needs. As far as usability the product is great because it it simple and easy to learn. The tool is also great because it can integrate with Jira and MS project. We have several teams that use JIRA and MS Project and the integration makes it easier for our productivity. One of our favorite features are the dashboards because it also helps identify issues quickly and get to the really meat of the project faster. We have worked with several different PPM tools and WorkOtter is definitely one of the best products for PPM out there.

One of the Greatest PPM tools- We Love WorkOtter

As a project manager I am always looking for ways to add a visual aspect of projects to share with my team and with WorkOtter's dashboards I can make this happen. Role management is also a great way to keep my team organized and focused on only the data and elements that they need to see.

The resource management tool is a lifesaver. It allows me to track my team's utilization as well as scale up or down the resources I need to get any project completed on time and under budget - without burning out my team members.

MS Project sync is another excellent feature to get a project started in WorkOtter. I can work out the details I need regarding my project privately via MS Project and then upload it to WorkOtter so that my team can view the plans, resources and budgets as needed. The option to continue working in MS Project or switch entirely to WorkOtter is valuable and seamless.

I also find the ability to easily create custom reporting on the fly a feature of great importance. Quite frequently I am called upon to present timelines, budgets or resource constraints which makes it helpful to present data in an easily readable format to my customers or executives in a timely manner.

WorkOtter is a great tool in a market of sub par competitors. If you are a Program /Project Manager, Solution Designer or Developer, WorkOtter will help you stay on track and remain informed of your responsibilities and those of your team members.
