What do you like best about WorkOtter?

The drag-and-drop features make customization super easy. Everyone can set it up in ways that suit their own style, too. I have also gotten a lot of use out of the mobile views. We've been able to track time and log work that's been completed so much more efficiently, and changing schedules in real time has never been so seamless. Another feature I have thoroughly enjoyed is the ability to create comments that mention another user, which is then sent to their email. They can reply to it through the email directly. I believe we even want to try and find a way to work this into communications with our contractors and applicants. Oh, and the 2-way integration with Microsoft Project has made transitioning much easier for some of our staff since that's what we previously used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkOtter?

Since it was somewhat new software, we took quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to do some of the things we needed to do. The support has been very helpful, but for some of us, it's just not so easy to pick up for first-time use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WorkOtter has helped reduce scheduling issues, including important meetings and projects. Thanks to the 2-way integration with Microsoft Projects, it has solved the problem of transitioning hundreds of people at a time because we previously used Projects for this and can easily continue using it at the same time as WorkOtter to get used to the newer platform.

The interactive platforms are incredible. The customizable ability is much needed especially when it comes to adjusting and compensating for changes in the project time lime and deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkOtter?

Nothing so far! The software is user-friendly, it's enjoyable to use and what's more - it's almost fun to use in a way! Exploring its features and everything it has to offer is an interesting journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WorkOtter's great benefit is it's ability to clearly and effectively organize all of the needed tasks and hallmarks that go into project management and incorporates an interactive platform that makes it easy for every position to communicate within a certain phase.

What do you like best about WorkOtter?

My favorite feature is the ease of using WorkOtter when presenting to a group with various questions about budget, timing, workload, etc, which is such a timesaver. From the beginning to now, it's been a breeze for customization as we've scaled up. I can't imagine going back to another PM platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkOtter?

I haven't encountered any issues with WorkOtter. Customer service is excellent, and I can onboard new project managers easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work with a dynamic group of people that like to be able to see data in many different visual forms. WorkOtter allows me to show data with just a few clicks. I don't have to rely on developers, I can do this on my own, which means I always feel prepared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It has good cross-platform functionality, and I can easily import and sync my work from other platforms like MS Projects and Excel.

2. Dashboards are easy to navigate and offer a range of features like data animations, interactive data sheets etc.

3. Gantt charts are easy and fun to use. I can change project plans by clicking and dragging, and all the other activities arrange themselves automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkOtter?

I've really liked WorkOtter so far, and there isn't anything that I've particularly disliked about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used to work on MS Projects, Monday.com and MS Excel for my daily Project Management needs. WorkOtter has provided me with the software that can perform the functions of all three of the aforementioned software. This has eased my workload and allowed me to maximise my efficiency.
