Visual Planning - a Tailor made solution for daily business routine

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: The overall experience from my organization reveals that is a user-friendly system capable to schedule in an intuitive way tasks and involve different teams.

Pros:

Visual Planning helps increase the productivity of daily routines by intuitively scheduling tasks and commitments with colleagues and clients. It is very user-friendly.

Cons:

The overall cost can be a factor to be considered when choosing the software. However, in a long-term perspective, the savings cover the costs and everyone can friendly use the system.

Alternatives Considered: Microsoft Excel

Reasons for Choosing Visual Planning: We use to have a shared file from Excel but it was revealed to be confusing when more than 1 person has the same file opened.

Switched From: Microsoft Excel

Visual Planning V7 Makes A World Of Difference

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: VP helps us to see data more clearly, allowing us to make the decisions that matter, when they matter.
This can help to operate more efficiently and allows us to communicate and share information to any user groups, when they need it, in a format that works for them, whatever the device they are using.

Pros:

Visual Planning now has a modern and sleek look and feel to it. Previous incarnations were always a little behind the times, but now it looks and feels good. It is now easier to 'see' the key data, manage it and share it, making it highly valuable for the business and allowing us to operate efficiently and effectively.

Cons:

It isn't a 2 minute setup, which won't work too well for small businesses, as it front loads some of the costs. For medium to larger businesses this won't be an issue, as they will have a ready to go tool that works for them, out of the box and the value of the configuration will far outweigh the costs of doing it wrong.

Alternatives Considered: Schedule it

Reasons for Switching to Visual Planning: Visual Planning allowed for more customisation and meant we didn't have to 'fit' the software, the software 'fitted us'. The licencing costs and structure also worked well for our business.

VP is a good product, but the employees make it great

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] made the purchasing and implementation of VP for our company easy and enjoyable. They're both extremely knowledgeable on their assigned topics, and helped facilitate the building and implementation of VP into our company with ease. VP is a huge step up from our prior method of tracking/calendars.

Cons:

It has MANY layers. While it is a good thing, so an outsider/average user it can be confusing or intimidating.

Alternatives Considered: Microsoft Project

Reasons for Choosing Visual Planning: Excel is terrible for calendars and employee management

Switched From: Microsoft Excel

Reasons for Switching to Visual Planning: I've used Project before, and visual planning blows it out of the water.
