Overview
Easy Projects is a comprehensive portfolio and project management tool that allows users to perform tasks ranging from budgeting, to issue tracking, to efficient resource management, to reporting. Even though it’s more suited for larger organizations that have to manage multiple projects simultaneously, many small to medium-sized companies also use Easy Projects.
Features and Functionality
Easy Projects comes with many excellent features. Here are some of our favorites:
Activity center
The activity center view is what welcomes users when they log in to their Easy Projects account. The best part about the view is that it contains all the important information in one place for the user to see. User can see information about all tasks, who is working on what, what the statuses of the tasks are and the level of completion. You can tag tasks, flag them as urgent, and discuss by leaving comments from the activity center.
Gantt charts and reporting tools
User-friendly Gantt charts, reporting tools, and a project calendar all form a major part of the application.
Portfolios
A stand-out feature of Easy Projects is its portfolios. A portfolio consists of multiple projects, and you can group multiple projects together and assign them to a single person. From the manager account, you can add, delete, or edit portfolios and all their individual projects.
Time tracking
With Easy Projects, time tracking becomes much easier. Users can track time using the built-in timer or the manual entry sheet to make entries on a daily basis for tracking purposes. If you have the enterprise version of the software, then you have the luxury of locking down the time data so that it can’t be altered.
As far as features go, Easy Projects is a very well-balanced product. Other features like issue tracking, percent-complete tracking, requirements management, status tracking, and time and expense tracking also make the list. The company also offers to build customers custom tools should they need a feature the platform doesn’t have. However, it doesn’t come with an integrated chat box, which is a part of most project management tools available today.
Ease of Use
Easy Projects is really simple to get the hang of. The brand new, highly visual user interface is user friendly, and there is not much of a learning curve associated with the tool. The activity center gives you access to most of the important features, and you can generate reports or look at Gantt views with only one click.
Applications and Integrations
Along with the web application, Easy Projects also comes with Android and iOS applications that allow you to stay connected even when you are on the go. Integration is possible with vital business applications like QuickBooks, Gmail, Outlook, Zendesk, and Toggl, but connecting to third-party storage applications like Dropbox or OneDrive is not possible.
Easy Projects falls within the Zapier network. Zapier allows people without programming experience to integrate applications that don’t usually communicate with each other. Customized integrations are simple using the Easy Projects API.
Customer support
Easy Projects offers support via email, online chat, and phone. They also have a highly helpful FAQ page and online customer help documentation that can be referred to for general queries. The support staff is very helpful, responds pretty quickly and is available during typical business hours.
