"Simplifies resource planning and forecasting"
5/5
What do you like best about Parallax?

Parallax excels not only in resource planning and forecasting but also as a collaborative partner. Their team is incredibly supportive and proactive, always seeking feedback to enhance the platform and ensure success for their users. The integrations with Harvest and Hubspot are game changers and make tracking projects through the full project lifecycle much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parallax?

Being such a robust tool there is a significant learning curve to setting it up and using it properly. The interface isn’t always intuitive and occassionally it suffers from performance issues when requesting large amounts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"On year 2 with no plans of leaving"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Parallax?

I love that it provides detailed hour plans for my team members who share their time across several projects and client accounts.

From a management standpoint it's amazing being able to project our costs and revenue to this detailed level and explore the potential profitability (or lack of) on potential projects. We've been able to using the hiring forecast to more confidently decide when to hire vs when to pull in a temporary contractor as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parallax?

"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.

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.
