User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft Planner is a user-friendly visual tool for organizing tasks and workflows. It’s great for team collaboration, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams and Outlook, and offers flexibility for projects of all sizes. Additionally, it provides mobile and web access for seamless productivity on the go. That’s a big plus right there. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Teamwork is awesome for teams who need a flexible tool that supports all types of projects. Since it supports kanban it makes visualizing the work to be done and the work in progress very easy. The Gantt chart support is decent and helps to understand how a team is doing when it comes to getting work done in a given time frame. Teamwork isn't a great option for companies that have a bunch of projects going simultaneously due to the way Teamwork structures their billing based on a number of active projects. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	I love the ability to tag and untag others as needed I love the ability to customize the tag labels and that there are so many options I love the ability to add comments and it notifies the others tagged in the task I love that the task description can be changed as needed without notification to others assigned to the task Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I am a believer that simple and easy should be the key to create great opportunities. Teamwork has helped me to turn simple task management into the execution of large, massive projects. It has certainly worked great in helping to maintain workflow in my department. Incentivized Maria Bereziuk Account Manager Read full review
Cons	Does not allow you to view all tasks and sub-tasks (checklist) in a nested view. Comments have character limits that can make it harder for teams to communicate exactly what they want to share. There is no way to mention a teammate in a comment and share files and documents in the conversation (collaborative tool???). Fernanda Ministerio Especialista de Desenvolvimento Industrial Read full review	Visualization needs to be improved, charts graphs are limited Value stream mapping should be available to determine and prioritize the work. Documentation should be available stepwise with export and printable facility. It should be configurable like ERP with cross functionalities of different users, where users login, assign and approve the work, job or project details, where it should be collectively effected on a project. Add many examples, little more AI, Machine learning required for suggestion and recommendation. It would be a plus point Incentivized Mudssar Adrees Asst. Manager Porcurement Quality Control Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	It is a very useful tool that brings teams in sync with one another. The integration with other Microsoft products makes it an obvious choice because you don't have to purchase a license for a completely different tool that doesn't have cross-functional capabilities with the software you already use on a daily basis. Incentivized Richard (Ric) Hazel Strategy Planning Advisor Read full review	We are already at an annual contract, and have been for the past 5 years; so far the system has delivered, and our personal is already trained in it. A major overhaul of our entire infrastructure (as in moving everything to a single, unified platform) might change the current continuity of Teamwork Projects on our organization, but that's not feasible in the near future. Incentivized Jose Quintero IT Support Manager Read full review
Usability	The tool is easy to use, but it is just as easy to set up. No specific skills are required, but its usefulness in our work is immediately apparent. Colors are very helpful in creating a clear interface and providing a very precise overview of the tasks to be performed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The web based user interface is familiar, flexible (boards, task lists, and Gantts) and feature-rich. It is simple enough for the beginner to be effective and robust enough for experienced users to gain efficiencies with advanced techniques. Reporting is intuitive and can be customized for transfer via email or to paper. Great interoperability with other tools make teamwork dependable and a good partner for the overall technology stack. Incentivized Miles Baltrusaitis Marketing Operations Manager Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The support service provided by Teamwork is excellent, and one of the best I've experienced. This is for the following reasons: (1) The speed at which they respond to queries I raise (2) The depth of understanding they have of the product (3) The way in which they are able to understand my questions without needing me to re-explain (4) The quality of the documentation available online (5) The openness they express about current issues and downtime Incentivized AS Ash Sharma Director Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Our organization chose MS Planner because it is an included tool in the MS Suite, and since we are unfortunately replacing our current and much better project management tool due to a consolidation of the tech stack. However, it doesn't appear that any of the teams using the current program intend to use MS Planner due to its poor functionality. We will likely be pivoting to Jira instead. Incentivized Brandon Stokes Global Revenue Enablement Manager Read full review	I spoke about this quite a bit before, but as far as usability goes, Microsoft Projects is totally useless for me, so I avoid it at all costs. Basecamp was just a task management app and had very small feature set beyond that. We had to rig it to do other things for us, but it failed at that. Asana was a very nice app to trial, but it lacked many of the features that we were looking for. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Saved over $1000 each year by not having to purchase a third party tool for our content planning Not sure that I can provide a hard number to this, but having the oversight to see when something is coming due and making sure everything gets executed in time Incentivized Christie Carbone Digital Marketing Analyst Read full review	Overall, it keeps our team on track ensuring that all of our projects are on time and on budget, which definitely contributes to our retention rates. It ensures that we're tracking time on billable tasks which contributes directly to our bottom line. Teamwork Projects also helps us better forecast when a clients project can be completed (alongside the other work our team needs to accomplish) AND it helps us more accurately quote projects in the future because we have historical time tracking data saved.
