elapseit

Vorteile

Die Software ist selbst mit keiner Einführung leicht zu verstehen. Ausserdem kann man einige Einstellungen nach den persönlichen Präzerenzen anpassen.

Nachteile

Die Ladezeiten bei den Reportsfunktionen sind manchmal etwas lange, auch wenn dies nur nebensächlich ist.

Vorteile

It offers pretty much all the features and support needed to manage our resources across multiple locations. Some of the strongest points:
- multiple currencies supported, project rates, resources costs, expenses, we can use any combination
- custom rates and rates history
- last but not least, the visual planner that we're using daily

Nachteile

The reporting could have been more customizable. On the other hand, whatever changes we requested on the reporting was quickly handled by their tech team.

Vorteile

We looked for a sourcing software to meet our needs for 4 months and I found elapseit. We started using as trial first and from the first day, the elapseit team helped us every step of the way and we choose them to be our software platform for our business. we are very happy with the product and also very happy with the helpful team.

Nachteile

only one item that do not meet our requirement is to enter different rates for the same resource (on-site/remote)

Gründe für den Wechsel zu elapseit

Vorteile

Everything is there! From your resources management, timesheets, invoicing and contracts all linked to your projects and invoicing associated. On top of this you can directly managed your projects through tasks using Kanban boards as well as issues and bugs. I do not know a full solution that can cover this scope.

Team is also very reactive and they keep improving and adding new features on the application at a fast pace.

Nachteile

Ease of use as tje application can be a bit complex at the beginning to use. You will get your bearing quickly though but I think there is room for improvement.
A simple mobile version would be great to check progress, reports and invoicing while you're on the go.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and although in some ways the tool is not specifically designed for how we use it, we have been able to easily apply the tool's functionality to our needs.

The functionality of the tool is more dynamic than the cost-effective pricing would suggest.

Additionally, the support we have received from the team is stellar, with fast turnarounds and exceptional quality on special reporting requests and needs.

The ability to export data quickly and easily helps us to further analyze the data to meet our business reporting needs.

Finally, the quality of the tool and support you receive is exceptional, especially given the pricing.

Nachteile

Overall, given the benefits of this tool, the following is more a wish list item. I would like to see it easier to manage the planned hours when resources have different allocations across phases of a project over time.

That said, the tool accommodates this use case today, this feedback is more about optimal efficiency in the future.

Vorteile

I like that it is user friendly ,it has many critical features for daily activities and it helps structure and track the planning .

Nachteile

There is nothing that needs improving at the moment.

Vorteile

The dashboards features are just so powerful and informative. The ease of use and the reports that can be driven from the data inputs is just phenomenal. I also really like how large amounts of data can be bulk uploaded.

Nachteile

Not much I can point out i didn't like.

Vorteile

- It allows us to plan our resources, but also to forecast the availability for the next projects but also to manage the team tasks on each project, which usually you get using two separate apps.
- We like the resource planner since we can see quickly the resource utilization.
- We like also the access levels since it allows us the give restricted access to the team, could be a bit more granular, but the elapseit team helped us tailor them to our needs.
- As I mentioned before, great customer service and also very flexible technical team, very opened to our feedback.

Nachteile

Overall the app is great, the tasks module could be more user friendly but I'm pretty sure elapseit team will get that updated.

Vorteile

Once we started using elapseit, it felt like a huuge step forward. As a multinational team, we had a lot of struggles keeping all together under one roof, now we can! Great flexibility from their maintenance team as well!

Nachteile

So far for our needs we were either able to find all we the features needed or with the help of their support team we manage to cover them.

Vorteile

A lot of customized reports which help our business, starting from the basic timesheet, list of our employee's time-off, billing, profitability, cost with our employees/contractors, revenue forecast, resources utilization and other.

There is a link between resourcing planner, time-off, timesheet and invoicing. All these features are connected and save us a lot of time. For example: if you schedule a person on a project into "Resourcing planner", his/her timesheet will be pre-populated with the hours scheduled and the person only need to confirm if worked accordingly or to modify if worked less or more. When you create the invoice, you can take the hours logged directly from the project/phase/task. It takes in consideration the billable/non-billable hours.

They put on first place the security of our data and their support team is there in case if you have any question. We're using their ticketing platform and they really respond as soon as possible. We love that.

Bonus, the price is really affordable.

Nachteile

It could be nice in the future to have a mobile app. Anyway the platform is responsive and some of our our employees submit from their mobile the hours.

Vorteile

- Assign your team members to one or more projects ( phases or tasks) and see instant if you have people over-allocated or under allocated based on their availability.
- Vacation and bank holidays are integrated into resourcing planner which is great because when vacation requests have been approved, I'm sure that the allocation for that person is removed for the period when is on holiday.
- All reports are meaningful and can give you great insight about time usage.
-Maximised the productivity with actual resource utilization.
- We love Project Pulse dashboard which is mega helpful to see the real progress of your project or phrase to see how many tasks were completed and how many you have still opened.
Everything you need in one place: projects, teams, tasks, time-offs, invoices, reports, dashboards.

Nachteile

We would love to have more flexible system of notifications of tasks. I could not think anymore of what I like least about this software. As I am happy as of the time being from the help I'm getting out of using it.

Vorteile

Using elapseit for a while now and periodically the product gets updated with new features or even complete new modules.
They have a tech team very (very!) flexible that helped us tailor the product to our needs.
Most relevant PRO would be the integration between the planner and the tasks module.

Nachteile

Nothing really, but as an advice for elapseit, they should make their features more visible :)

Vorteile

In my work I only meet with my team/colleagues twice a month, so we needed a tool where we can all collaborate on projects that we work together and elapseit does just that. We have the projects where we work together, with allocated hours in Resource planner and prepopulated timesheets – based on allocations, the joy of our Controlling and Finance team because they can use the data in the final stage of invoicing; and we also have the individual projects, for which we use the Task module – a very very helpful feature, because using Kanban or Gantt, the managers know exactly what is the status for each task of the project.

Nachteile

My only problem is that I cannot split my task with someone else. The Task management only allows one assigned person per task.

Vorteile

With powerful features, it is an amazing management software where I usually put the employees’ leave schedules and other simple information. The dashboard is pretty simple and very pleasing to the eyes. Moving around the dashboard and using the features are not that hard to learn either. It is pretty amazing.

Nachteile

Works very well and does what it's supposed to. I am happy.
