GoSkills vs. Zoho Projects

I found GoSkill's project management course to be beneficial, well-paced and relatively inexpensive. After taking a course myself, I realized my team would benefit too, so we tried out the GoSkills LMS. It’s simple to use and I can easily see how well someone is doing in a course, and slot new employees into training as needed.You need not look anywhere else - everything you need is provided in full detail.

My work involves projects of 5-15 people with numerous projects running simultaneously. Prior to Zoho, I did not have a central location from which to view all project statuses at once. Zoho looks to provide this and also looks like it will deliver. I am anxious to see how our organization's use of it develops. At this time, I feel I am likely to recommend Zoho Projects because my organization has made great software decisions in the past so I have a level of trust already that the research has been done that Zoho is the best solution for our line of work.

• The presentation of the material
• The tests after the course was good but not too hard
• Follow up after the class was not overwhelming.

• Swiss Army Knife: The suite of Zoho projects can be tailored to fit the needs of any business. It's great to have a bunch of different software offerings that will work together seamlessly.
• Task Customization: Zoho allows you to customize your tasks more than other platforms (add start dates, due dates, dependencies, subtasks...)

• The course was a little to easy and basic
• I felt like I was lead to the answers on the test
• I felt like the class was taught to pass the test

• More flexibility on making the user interface more compact (like Excel or MSP). Current interface is well spaced, but some users may like a more compact view.
• More simplified Gantt Charts that help us understand progress and dependencies.
• Ability to export projects to Excel for sharing with others we can't/don't want to bring on to Zoho projects

Zoho has been able to fit the needs of our Engineering organization. The employees and management that are using it have not found a 'catastrophic' reason to discontinue use. Although certain features and better support mechanisms would be much better, it has been able to keep with both basic needs and more advanced ones. A majority of the company has enjoyed the basic interface it offers, the apps it has for iPhone and Blackberry, the mobility of updating a project without needing to be connected to any type of server. There are still improvements that can be made in future releases but as the person who originally purchased the solution for our company, I have found it to be an excellently priced solution in the functionality it offers.

Zoho Projects is an easy project management tool to use. It provides all the functionality that we required for handling projects. We can easily create personal forms for projects and tasks, allowing us to add and report on our own desire. Apart from this we can create and edit documents in real time which saves our time. This allows us to share text docs, presentations, tables with the whole team and we can work on them together

Has not been down to my knowledge.

Speed meets my expectations.

Although it might lack intuitiveness, once you get a hang of how Zoho Projects works, you can do a LOT. The impact good project management has on profitability is huge, and it has helped not only improve communication and coordination when working on a project, but more importantly have adequate tracking of time, due dates and potential bottle necks

I needed to take a project management course and didn't know where to start. I did a bunch of Googling and decided on GoSkills because it was a quick class. I was really happy I started with the GoSkills Project Management class because it was a great introduction to to the industry. Based on the knowledge I got from GoSkills I was able to decide to pursue more Project Management education. I started on trying to decide which online education platform to go with. It was between Google/Coursera, Udemy, GoSkills and maybe a bootcamp. I went with GoSkills because it was short and I could get an idea of what I was going to learn in a longer course. I'm really happy with the path I took and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn about project management

Zoho Projects provides a more limited set of functionality and customization options than other task/bug trackers on the market, but what it lacks in functionality it makes up for in ease of use. It probably has 80-90% of the features of its competitors but takes about a third of the time to get up and running and realizing value.

• I was able to see that I liked a subject
• It made me realize I wanted to go down the path of a much more in depth course
• I learned I can still learn even at my age
• Just having another certification to post on LinkedIn and maybe a resume is really nice.

• Unfortunately, prior to creating Project Task Templates we'd occasionally miss a step and something that was necessary would be overlooked.
• The creation of the Project Templates was a team collaborative effort to make sure that everyone had some input as different people was integral to specific projects.
• It took a little while to learn some of the more tricked out features like task dependency but even starting out with the most basic of features was very significant.
