"Transforming Tool!"

5/5

What do you like best about Parallax?

Parallax has been a great tool for our small consulting organization. The tool has transformed how we resource our team to projects and review utilization. The ability to see and manipulate our revenue forecast based on the pipeline of work has brought much needed visibility across the leadership team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parallax?

I would like more customizable reporting and better representation of the budget on projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform and team. Requires organizational maturity to gain full benefit"

5/5

What do you like best about Parallax?

Parallax is an excellent platform for capacity forecasting and resource planning. The tool provides a level of insight that we previously did not have or had to obtain from spreadsheets. The Parallax team is committed to our success and provides proactive support to help us grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parallax?

Getting the full benefit of Parallax may require more effort than you're anticipating. We onboarded with Parallax when many of our Sales, Project Management, and Operations processes were less mature. Getting the benefit of Parallax required investment in our processes and people. Ultimately, I think this is a benefit of the platform, though an unexpected one that you want to be prepared for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Har to find help resources.

Billable vs. non-billable hours - Parallax doesn't call that out

the help desk is very helpful but it would be better if you could learn from the tool when onboarding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Parallax is helping our company take the next step in our growth."

5/5

What do you like best about Parallax?

Parallax has helped enforce a greater degree of data validity across our sales, delivery, and finance operations. The team at Parallax have been great partners in helping us get up and running and also refine the product to our specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parallax?

There can be some growing pains within your company as individual have to re-orient their work to how Parallax functions. Parallax is very focused on agile work practices…if you don't sell or think about your work that way, it might be challenging to adopt. We use Harvest for our time keeping—the way that Parallax connects to Harvest is a bit non-intuitive to the individual contributor. There isn't a 1-to-1 relationship between Parallax projects and Harvest projects. Now that we're up and running, this is really the only ongoing source of tension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parallax solving and how is that benefiting you?

We now have better and more reliable visibilty of how our sales pipeline may impact our talent needs. Previously, the data coming from our sales tool (Pipedrive) wasn't wrong, but it also wasn't completely aligned to how we would be using it in delivery. Parallax helped enforce consistency between sales and delivery. Also, our prior talent planning tools were functional, but straining under our increased growth. Parallax sets us up well for continued growth on a purpose-built platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
