14+ years using WMJ

Comentarios: From dealing with customer service to upgrades to the software over the years the overall experience has been exceptional. I work on the Finance side but whats wonderful that it doesn't matter which piece of the software you go in to, the layout and functionalities throughout are consistent. In a small office under 20 sometimes people only touch parts of the software or their roles cross, the customization that WMJ offers to be able to handle the crossover in security and viewing ability makes this feasible. Being able to leverage the ability to look at financials by client/campaign/project and then report on efficiency and profitability is important to our management​ team.

Puntos a favor:

The ability to integrate our CRM, time tracking, project management​, and accounting to leverage the ability to look at our leading and lagging KPIs to be profitable.

Contras:

The variety of offering the software can do is massive. Deciding in our office whats a priority to run as efficiently as possible can be challenging. For example, there is WIP in the software but because of our size its the right fit for us.

We call it Jiggy!!

Comentarios: The software is consistent, our team loved the UI and it was relatively easy to implement because the customer success team was so hands on.

Puntos a favor:

This is our 4th attempt at finding the right software to manage our agency, projects and tasks. Jiggy is here to stay!

Contras:

The true PM side of this solution is not MS Project (but that is not necessarily a bad thing). We have made it work for our agency and are happy with the results.

Solid Project Management Tool to Connect the Dots

Puntos a favor:

Our organization uses jig for critical functions of the business - from forecasting, project planning and time reporting to billing and invoicing. What is nice about jig compared to other systems I've used in the past is the connectivity of tracking so you can see the exact amount of hours spent per team member vs. your initial projection, and pull that through to invoicing in a seamless way. The reporting capabilities are great, too.

Contras:

With almost any software, there can be some glitchiness and brief periods of outages. The IU is not the prettiest either, but once you get to know your way around it does what it needs to do.

I love the promise, but I need so many updates from Workamajig to love it.

Comentarios: Frustrating

Puntos a favor:

It ties timesheets and expenses together with billing. And I like the reports it can give.

Contras:

The UX and UI. There needs to be so so so much work put into the user flow. There are 20 different way to get the to the same features, it's unattractive, terms and vocab are all over the place... I could go on.

A Helpful Tool for Everyday Design Agency Management

Puntos a favor:

It's pretty easy to use, great for tracking time next week, running financial forecast reports and understanding budget burn impacts on projects. Easily able to view and sort by client and project, and update hours and estimates over the project duration as needed.

Contras:

At times, it can feel challenging to find the right tools within WMJG since they are not located in the most user friendly or logical spot. This contributes to a long onboarding process for new team members. The overall design and UX/UI could be improved for a more seamless experience.
