## Viewpath Reviews
  ### 1. Project Management tool has allowed greater buy-in from all company stakeholders

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eric H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2020

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

The Viewpath platform has allowed us to create projects that break departmental information silos and place all internal and external stakeholder tasks in one comprehensive task list - even allowing different deadline charting options to accommodate different visualization needs.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

There was a learning curve to discover how to appropriately set up constraints inside of different event project templates - however, the Viewpath team was awesome at answering questions and getting us on the right track!

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Viewpath has enabled us to better track all tasks company wide that go in to launching each live event we manage. Additionally, by tracking the full set of tasks that go in to planning and producing our live events, we now have greater insight in to the full planning cycle of our events, giving us a more informed timeline for starting planning for our summer tour.

  ### 2. PM Software for PM’s

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2020

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

Viewpath answers all of the complications with other PM software applications with intuitive user friendly solutions best appreciated by PM’s.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

Uncertainty of longevity.  Viewpath needs desperately to expand its adoption.  It’s a great product that needs to increase marketing effort particularly in the PM channels.

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

100% support the switch!  I’ve found huge gain in adoption by providing a tool to a team  that addresses many previous anxieties.  Great collaboration tool!

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cross collaboration of strategic projects allows us to finally assess resource drain as a whole and better understand “big picture” what is coming and when.

  ### 3. VP Review 3/5/20

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa H. | State Trainer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

It is easy to use.  It is a great way to keep track of long term tasks that are part of projects.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

I haven't used any other online management systems so I have nothing to compare it to. I really don't have anything that I dislike.

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

Has been a great system to use with teammates.

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sharing projects is much easier with VP.  It is also a great way to keep a virtual "to-do" list.

  ### 4. Good but needs improvement

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sonja F. | Operations manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

I love how easy it is to make crew schedules and keep track of their progress. The bars are easy to move around and once you get the interface down all things are pretty great.
This product is great for tracking construction projects and workers. The best we've found so far. 

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

When my jobs go over budget it just marks them as complete when I update the hours. It would be AMAZING if when a job went over it changed to red or something instead. 
I use the scheduled by work feature and was told this is unavailable in the newer version. This is an amazing tool for crews. 

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

Be patient as it does take a bit getting used to but it is so worth it!

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organization!! Once I have inputted my current schedule at the end of the day I feel so much better! It helps me keep track of customers and gives me a visual of upcoming jobs. 

  ### 5. Easy and full-featured

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John F. | PGBU Sr. Sales Consultant, PPM/PMO/Project Delivery SME; Enablement Team, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

Viewpath provides a very rich environment for the project teams to work and gives the project manager the tools needed to plan and execute projects. It presents the right information, at the right level to each user type.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

It isn't a negative, but I want more portfolio management tools and I hear they are coming. This will soon be moved to the positive.

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

This is a great product if you want to get going quickly and have the tools needed for project management. 

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Most PPM/PM tools are aimed at very maturity organizations and most organizations aren't very mature. Viewpath meets these needs by offering lower maturity groups an easy way to manage projects at their level and giving them a path to greater maturity. Repeatable and consistent processes can be built into project templates.

  ### 6. Organize & Prioritize

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

Whether you are planning your day, your week, a month or your year, Viewpath empowers you to make informed choices. Because you can see your commitments and responsibilities at a glance, it's easy to prioritize how you spend your time. 

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

As with any new program, platform or application, using Viewpath may appear challenging at first, but because easier as the weeks go by. Perhaps the best thing about facing these challenges is the customer service provided. If answers to your questions can't be found in the FAQs, customer service is prompt, friendly and easy to understand.

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's not unusual to have 3-6 people working on projects. Now, it's easy to see who has been assigned to specific tasks and the deadlines for completing those. Before, those commitments were made in person or via email, with no written document that could be accessed by all personnel involved in each project. It's easy to check, at a glance, who is taking care of the components involved in a project and the expected date of completion.

  ### 7. Basic scheduling / planing software

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matt S. | Project Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

Web-based tool (so it can be accessed anywhere). 
Easy to configure the different fields to show only the level of detail you're interested in. 

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

When it comes to task relationships for detailed construction management it falls short. There aren't enough options for task relationships (only start-start, start-finish, and finish-start). 
The resource scheduling feature seems like it could be improved to help people manage group work load. 

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

Make sure you evaluate alternatives, such as Primavera and MS Project. Determine the level of complexity of your projects to decide how feature-rich a program you need. I think Viewpath is good for basic scheduling. 

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use it to generate basic, preliminary schedules. Then we use other software. 


  ### 8. Viewpath Helps US With Planning and Monitoring

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bob F. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

The things that set View Path apart from other Gantt chart planners are the ways it allows customization.
We use the following features:
Resource Availability: we use this to rank worker efficiency. A slow or fast work automatically lengthens or shortens the task time.
Assignments: Adding more workers automatically changes the task duration.
Gantt: The Gantt displays work completed vs total work.
I've looked at and tried other Gantt products. This one is the best for us.
Best of all, support gets back to you fast if you have questions or problems.



**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

Things I'd like to see improved are:
The task is marked complete when total hours worked equals budgeted hours and it is automatically marked as completed. Sometimes tasks take longer than scheduled. I'd like to see a better way to monitor hours over budget.
Little integration with other programs. I'd love to have both time and attendance and View Path together. View Path does have a very basic time and attendance, but it's not adequate for or needs.

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

Give it a try. There are lots of videos to help you work through things, and human help

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

View Path helps us:
Schedule workers and tasks and to maximize resource usage.


  ### 9. Viewpath is great for Product Management

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

I like that I can access Viewpath from any web browser without installing any other software.  I like that I can sort view only those tasks that belong to em by running reports.  I like that i can control what projects are listed in reports based on what project tabs are open.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

Viewpath can be a little unwieldy when there are many (think hundreds) of simultaneous projects with many (think a hundred or so) tasks per project and many (think dozens) users.  Load time becomes a little slow.  Additionally, it doesn't seem like the time between "checking a box" and the server registering that the box is checked is instant; sometimes I'll check a task as complete, and then minutes later when I'm leaving the webpage I'll get a warning.

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our projects have timelines that can shift based on when key tasks are completed; Viewpath allows our Project Managers to shift entire branches of a project to match dates, instead of having to move each individual task one at a time.

  ### 10. A low cost option with limited value

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah K. | CPO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

simple data entry, support for dependencies among project tasks, calculates duration based on allocation and estimated work.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

resource management view assumes everyone works a 40 hour work week, this didn't work well for a company with multiple part time resources. Intermittent issues calculating project budget lead us to manually check the math before every quote. The timer did not work. If you refreshed or closed the browser, you'd lose logged time. We ended up using Zoho Invoice's timer and manually entering logged time into Viewpath. 

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

It's a good tool if you're used to MS Project and want a similar look and feel. Don't rely on the timer or budget calcluations.

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accurate project duration and budget estimates.  Monitoring project progress and adjusting schedule/budget.

  ### 11. Diving into the Details

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lee S. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

Being able to assign tasks and track their completion is a real asset.  The entire team relies on their ability to check their task completion on their home screen.  Our team is reliant on the task list to make sure that they are hitting the marks crossed multiple initiatives. 

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

While recurrent projects can be accommodated, it would be great to have a "reset" option that would allow us to mark "incomplete" any tasks assigned to team members for the next year.

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

Rely upon the software, initial setup is a bit overwhelming but in the end it is worth it!

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None

  ### 12. Easy tool for the management of small and medium projects

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Samir B. | System Engineering, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

The best thing is the speed and ease when creating a project

It does not have full compatibility with all browsers

NA

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Problems of management and organization of project tasks. Benefits when it comes to showing the progress and gap of the planned versus the executed. the gantt chart is very appropriate and simple

  ### 13. Infrequent User

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

It helps our administrative assistant know what to do for the various trainings we do.

  ### 14. Program had good potential, could not get it to operate properly

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2019

The scheduling interface was clean and easy to use.

My views kept getting distorted and I had a version that did not print properly

**Recommendations to others considering Viewpath:**

It looks like a good program, but it did not print and multiple inputs would appear on the screen.

Did not solve any problems, could never get the program to work. No benefits

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Online Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2018

**What do you like best about Viewpath?**

Pretty intuitive; available on the cloud, so not limited by on-prem access; Gantt chart can be turned on and off; color coding; on-screen help.

**What do you dislike about Viewpath?**

Ability to explore via free trial was pretty limited. Would love to see the on-screen instructions available for every feature.

**What problems is Viewpath solving and how is that benefiting you?**

N/A

The product has an unreasonably high price and poor support.

We are trying to have a monitoring system between managers and their staff.
