Birdview

Avantages

The ability to have visibility over multiple projects at once, their status as well as individual task management.

Inconvénients

The auto-change dates can be really useful with creating dependencies, but this isn't always helpful and can create quite a lot of manual amendments needed

Avantages

Easy to navigate! Truly easy to use system & very helpful.

Inconvénients

Sometimes there are system glitches where a task does not appear that I am assigned to. But this rarely happens.

Avantages

Birdview is user friendly and efficient. The ease of being able to repeat time each week and add new time categories makes Birdview a great option.

Inconvénients

As year to year turns over, it can be somewhat cumbersome to exchange years in Birdview.

Avantages

I like being able to see at a glance the time I've dedicated to a given project. I also appreciate how easy it is to log that time.

Inconvénients

It can occasionally be frustrating to balance too many vs not enough project categories to properly capture all the work effort I use on various projects.

Avantages

It is a very convenient, flexible, and user-friendly tool with a nice UI.
I like especially ability to copy tasks from a previous week

Inconvénients

I like everything I use, nothing that I can frame as "like at least".

Avantages

Project plan and task schedule tracking can be accessed through Gantt charts clearly showing any deviations between planned and actual progress.

Inconvénients

I spent a bit more time getting it ready for my users. I feel that implementation was long and tedious.

Avantages

It's user-friendly interface, which makes project management easy to navigate. It offers powerful features for task tracking, resource allocation, and reporting, all in a clear and organized layout. The ability to customize workflows and dashboards is particularly useful for different team needs. Additionally, the integration with other tools and its collaborative features streamline communication and improve overall efficiency.

Inconvénients

What I like least about Birdview is that the initial setup can be a bit complex and may require a learning curve, especially for new users. Some advanced features feel a bit overwhelming at first, and customization options, while robust, can take time to fully utilize. Additionally, occasional lags in loading large projects or reports could impact workflow efficiency.

Avantages

Easy to digest dropdowns. Visual appearance is pleasant. UI to mark PTO is simple to use.

Inconvénients

Since my team moved our project trackers from Excel to Birdview, it feels like there are a lot of settings that are dependent on other things that make it hard to know if I'm able to change something or if something is a permanent deletion. This product is hard to adopt with customers as it has not been as easy process to grant guest access. Some of the features like the multiselect is not very user friendly/transferrable, like I can't use shift on my keyboard to multiselect line items, but instead I need to click the toggle on the dropdown every time.

Avantages

It provides a great visual representation of the various projects in work. The time log is easy to understand as well.

Inconvénients

(Android App) - Messages and assignments seem to be very slow to arrive - hours or more is typical. My Work Group backs up most messages and assignments with TEAMS messages "just to be sure" they get through.

Avantages

At our agency, we have many active projects and tasks under each project at any given time, and manage roughly 30 creatives assigned to those projects. Being able to easily bill and track time is super valuable, and the clean, simple interface makes that easier for everyone from the junior designer to the creative director.

Inconvénients

Many on our creative team only use it to track time and find projects, and some views have so many options to click or select, it can be hard to find the most common uses for our team.

Avantages

Ease of access and the ability to attach files for all who are assigned to each project

Inconvénients

Some applications will cause an unfavorable response time

Avantages

I have been using Birdview for some time now, and I am impressed with the new platform updates. I was not originally a fan, but now I am an advocate. Although there are some things that I still think could be changed, it is a great improvement. One of the most helpful aspects of the new Birdview is its more user-friendly interface, which makes it easier to navigate and use, specifically the time feature. I love the way I can access the timer for any task from any place. I also appreciated the variety of features available, such as the ability to track progress, set goals, and collaborate with team members. Additionally, the customizable dashboards provided a clear overview of key metrics, which was incredibly helpful. Overall, I found Birdview to be a valuable tool for staying organized and on top of my tasks.

Inconvénients

Birdview lacks some of the advanced features found in other task management tools. For example, it doesn't have a built-in calendar view, which would make it much easier to see an overview of tasks and deadlines. Also, the collaboration features are quite limited, making it less ideal for team-based projects. Furthermore, while more user-friendly, the interface might only seem that way because it is less difficult than before. I believe a new customer would still find some level of difficulty setting up a project compared to other project management software.

While Birdview is excellent for managing individual tasks, it may not be the best choice for more complex project management or collaborative work, depending on the need.

Avantages

It does a great job at keeping all of the elements of a project organized, and archived for reference

Inconvénients

I truly don't have anything negative to say about Birdview

Avantages

Weekly time sheet layout is quick for logging time worked on projects and get a week/month overview

Inconvénients

It has a difficult user interface, a lot of the features are hard to find, buried in menus

Avantages

Birdview (Avian Perspective as we affectionately call it) is fairly easy to use and is improving constantly. My favorite part of Birdview is the extensive learning suite that comes with it. If you need guidance, there are webinars and help sections, further supported by live Chat support. Most actions are easy to understand and follow. It is scalable and flexible adding to it's useability. There's many additional modules, we even use it for some of our Dev requests (forms in BV).

Inconvénients

There is some frustration with the way Activity Est. Hours roll up to a Project total. Not sure if this is a setting issue on our end or just the way it's meant to be. We often set a total # of Est. Hours then break down the activities. It tends to Add any Activity hours to the Est total, instead of considering it part of that total. Again, this may be a setting our BV Admin may need to look at.

Avantages

It's a good parallel with other PM tools like Asana and Monday. I was able to jump on with almost no training overhead.

Inconvénients

I am still new, so not sure if this feature already exist but I like to subdivide my taskers into Phases. So if a collection of taskers are in a project but need to be either time or process divided into logical groups having the ability to visualize that is a plus.

Avantages

The reporting in Birdview made my work so much easier than the other platforms we use.

Inconvénients

I wish Birdview had an APP so I could easily use it from my phone when traveling.

Avantages

The detailed look into certain items at a quick glance.

Inconvénients

At times, it can be a bit slow, and depending on what I am loading, it will ask me to reload it several times.

Avantages

Birdview is user-friendly. You can track multiple projects which can be broken into sub-projects/tasks. You can enter as you go, adjust post-hoc, and it saves automatically, so it's flexible in terms of each own's desired frequency of use. I also appreciate the calendar feature when tracking hours to flag which days meet quota (green) or are under (yellow) / over (red).

Inconvénients

All existing and pre-existing projects remain in the dropdown when selecting which project to track. If there was a way to hide some, it would be easier / more efficient to navigate through them. If you want to remove hours from a project, you cannot completely; it forces you to retain at least 0:01hrs (i.e. 1 min) - would just be cleaner if one could override this feature.

Avantages

It's a fairly straightforward program that keeps schedules and budgets along with other task reporting within quick reach.

Inconvénients

Some of the customized reports could be more useful. Being able to split PTO (Paid Time Off) so that it is something that's considered in the total project, but doesn't add toward the hours shown for the total amount of effort (workable hours) remaining would be great.

Avantages

The setup of this tool is very user-friendly and worthy of use by larger teams

Inconvénients

Sometimes the resolution of the fields is too small or too large, but if the tool is used on a larger monitor, everything works fine

Avantages

The platform is very easy to scale to our needs.

Inconvénients

It took me a while to learn all the icons.

Avantages

Helps me to keep track of all of my projects and can store attached files.

Inconvénients

does not track in real-time. It does not help me when looking at the timeline of my projects.

Avantages

I really like the the ability to access specific projects and tasks from multiple areas within the site. Tracking labour and progress from tasks up to project milestones is very easy to do.

Inconvénients

I wish I could save specific reporting functions.

Avantages

It's cool and user-friendly. I would say the USER INTERFACE or I think its called CSS.
Keep in mind this review is done by someone who used to code back in 2016 but took engineering as Plan B.

Inconvénients

The tracking of projects is limited to time/ cash. We need AI to help us find more money to make from clients aka marketing or outreach companies. I DONT MAKE MONEY on projects - full-time person making less than 70k before tax lol. Dont sue me bro.

Avantages

The Project management Tools help to track all the aspects of the project including time spent, resources used, revenue generated, the PnL, and more. This helps in understanding the firm's entire growth.

Inconvénients

The only thing is the pricing of the tool. It will be difficult for any small organization to manage funds for the tool.

Avantages

I enjoy the ability to customize many widgets and filters to best suit my workflow and priorities.

Inconvénients

I am inclined to say I am personally not bothered by it but ability to customize leads to many menu options which could fluster some users looking for a minimalistic experience.

Avantages

Ease of time tracking, ability to copy over tasks from week to week, different available views for reporting.

Inconvénients

Sometimes tricky to navigate the user interface. I wish it was less redundant to add team members to a project each time.

Avantages

It's pretty easy to enter your time sheets in the right projects.
The amount of customization of your personnal space makes it adaptable to many styles of work

Inconvénients

I'd really like for the numpad period to work for my time entries

Avantages

Creating projects is intuitive and easy.

Inconvénients

Inability to add members to a task depending on permissions

Avantages

Organization, ease and time management! It's the best!

Inconvénients

I don't have any cons to using the platform, it's the best!

Avantages

It is easy to use and easy to understand. it keeps the team organized an prevents us from going over budget

Inconvénients

I wish there was more customization options. They have the standard ones but with AI, I hope there is more innovation.

Avantages

I like being able to add in tasks and projects and see everything in an organized manner. I like being able to enter data and information to keep the owners and stakeholders aware of what is going on with the projects and tasks.

Inconvénients

I think the entering of tasks/projects hours is a little cumbersome and could use some tweaking to help make that entering a faster experience. Also I think the reports and data could also be enhanced to be able to manipulate the reports and information in ways we need to share out to stakeholders and team leads.

Avantages

If we click weekly time log history we will get all detail of the projects worked, hours charged on each day at once, we can also quickly differenciate the undercharged , overcharged days by looking at the color of the calender in it.

Inconvénients

Charging hours for the projects should have been made more easier, If I need to charge a project on multiple days I cannot do it once I need to open it repeatedly

Avantages

At my organization, we often work on multiple projects simultaneously. Birdview makes it very easy to track progress across projects, view tasks for the day/week across all projects in one place, and easily navigate between projects using filters.

Inconvénients

I haven't gotten much use out of the task progress or financial tracking features, I hope to in the next 6 months. Would love to see a timer feature like Toggl Track for this.

Avantages

Great for tracking across multiple projects each with a different level of granularity.

Inconvénients

Not a lot missing from the sections of the product I use daily.

Avantages

What I like the most about Birdview PSA is the ease of closing and/or adding to tasks or projects.

Inconvénients

Sometimes when I am unable to see a project, I have to get another admin to add me to it. I have super coordinator status.

Avantages

Intuitive data entry process. Great sorting and reporting features. Seems to have all that I need.

Inconvénients

I am learning without the benefit of official training. Despite the very good data entry process, there is some fumbling on my part to find my way around.

Avantages

Birdview is flexible enough to cater to individual workflows and thinking styles.

Inconvénients

Birdview's powerful modular approach can also present a hindrance depending on its user's preferred working conditions. For those who function well under stricter parameters, Birdview will be great for you once you get it off the ground and running, however - until then, it might present a bit of a learning curve because its pliability makes for multiple organizational approaches that might require some time for familiarization.

Avantages

the easy of use. And the ability to have many cross functional teams be part of it and have access to eyes on projects

Inconvénients

Not being able to add a template checklist and get notified when someone checks it or adds to it.

Avantages

It's pretty straightforward and locked down which can be good or bad based on your prerogative.

Inconvénients

It's not very customizable and it's definitely a better tool for other departments than ours (media)
