What do you like best about KeyedIn?

Really intuitive. Very simple. Users will easily get up to speed. Excellent support group. They respond the same day, often within minutes of logging a ticket and are prepared to call if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

The software assumes that the document author will be only exposed to high-level administrators, thereby including sensitive data in the views used to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

We have formed a specially named team to execute KeyedIn plan. This worked extremely successfully and was handled with milestones and deadlines as a project as any other. Make sure that you negotiate for more time. Because of our participation, in the original contract we reached the agreed time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a very manual way to manage tasks and associated objects before KeyedIn was introduced. We have used Excel, SmartSheet to prepare, Word for the intake of tasks, Sharepoint to be our database of documents. We now have a single system which can handle all these functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KeyedIn?

The software was easy for our PMO and our developers to buy in, because the product helped to reduce standups and planning meetings while still providing the necessary updates to our managers and PMs in order to satisfy all parties. Project assignments are easily allocated and project management is a great saver of time in near real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

I have no reservations about the website. I am not to condemn all the applications that I test, but the program performs well and does exactly what we need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

Such an ad hoc approach, using methods that do not suit the amount of development projects we have in our pipeline, would have been incorporated well before I'd implemented such a turn-key product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It was an enormous problem that we had one place to keep everything together and to see what everyone is doing with any particular project holistically. Managers can quickly see what happens to someone who is over-used and can make adjustments to any project quite easily. KeyedIn has been a welcome change in our scrum planning and helped us much more effectively visualize and monetize our developers. The graphics and project management tools offered are simple to use, easy to customize and give our team a quick return on investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the easiest way to maintain your daily task in various categories.

Also you can add your task against multiple project. It shows the effort estimation as well. We can manage leaves through this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

It is quite difficult to unlock the submitted timesheets. Because when user submits the timesheet then to make changes into that, you need an approvals and it gets unlocked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing daily activities, leave applications, effort estimations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KeyedIn?

The implementation of Keyed in went very well. Working through the solution, whenever we had questions or needed clarification during set up, we were answered very quickly. Also liked that members on the team asked us questions to make sure the solution was being set up to fit what we needed it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

From the implementation perspective it went very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our biggest issue was resource management. Having one place to keep everything together and being able to holistically see what everyone is doing on any given project was a huge problem that this solved. Managers can quickly see what is going one, who is over/under utilized and make adjustments rather easily to any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the task based project plans. They help keep me and the Engineers on plan and allows them to manage their workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

I wish the product had a dedicated customer portal that would let us give our customer vision into the system without using a license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

Ensure you understand what you want out of the platform and your roll-out will be much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were having a problem understanding the work that is required for an Engineer to complete a project. We were using spreadsheets that were always behind on updates and they became obsolete very quickly. KeyedIn has help us lay out a project plan and make the Engineer responsible for keeping their tasks up to date. It has also allow me to assign someone and hold them accountable to complete the task. It has made my job, as PM, easier to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KeyedIn?

KeyedIn allows our art department to work hand-in-hand with our sales department by creating an organized database of both customers and work orders. Our ability to keep all the info on each individual company saves us time & streamlines the project from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

There are several features that our creative department does not utilize such as invoicing and production stats so it can be intimidating at first. However being able to manage each individuals rights to certain sections of the software allows you to focus on learning only the areas that benefit your department Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're creating detailed CRMs that hold all the info for each business in one area - accessible in office and on the go. The program is currently used between our 3 office locations making all info and photos readily available for people in all department. It also creates a running timeline of all projects in the works Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about KeyedIn?

User logins and profiles enable you to easily break out group based permissions. The reporting feature (once learned) provides alot of valuable analytics and insights, based on project details and timesheet data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

System requires a lot of setup and configuring in order to operate properly. Every organization will need to have a dedicated resource to live and breathe the system, otherwise even the smallest tweaks or errors are difficult to diagnose, or fix, without support. Help Files are focused on "what", rather than "where", so are not a helpful source for troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

Ensure you have a properly defined implementation plan. Configuration of the system is substantial and will require alot of time on both sides; suggest to have someone dedicated to this as a full time role for the initial implementation, UAT, and two months post -live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Resource management, time tracking, and project management across professional services and development teams. Timesheet tracking, basic project management, and the reporting based on these two areas have been helpful. We now have a more accurate and immediate view of key core metrics.

What do you like best about KeyedIn?

Moving from an internal professional services automation tool to KeyedIn Projects allowed greater visibility to project status, time tracking and integration to our invoicing system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

Timesheet integration to Intacct is an "all or nothing" proposition. Because there are times when some hours can't be approved in KeyedIn yet others can, this creates a delay in moving time to Intacct for those projects eligible for invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

Thoroughly identify your requirements before implementing the solution. This is critical in getting the most from the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Time reporting, revenue, reporting, project status all have been improved by using KeyedIn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about KeyedIn?

When we were looking to round out our ERP system, we needed a resource management system that would seamlessly integrate with our CRM and Accounting system. KeyedIn 's integration with SalesForce and Intacct met our needs and we now have only one point of entry for any piece information and the other two systems are automatically updated. Opportunities set up in SalesForce are transferred to KeyedIn os resources can be assigned. Time entered In KeyedIn is transferred to Intacct for Billing and Project Profitability tracking. KeyedIn truly rounded out our cloud based ERP by utilizing Best in Class solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

KeydIn times out and logs you out for inactivity over a shorter period of time than our other cloud based solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

KeyedIn's Customer Support and willingness to understand their customer's needs and work with them to achieve their needs is superior. Unlike other software vendors,they don't try to fit your business into their software, but work with you so their software fits your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better utilization of our staff based on knowing current and projected availability of staff. Enabling us to assign the best staff based on skill set and ability which maximizes customer satisfaction, while enhancing employee engagement, and project profitability.

What do you like best about KeyedIn?

Our consulting company provides B2B Marketing services to help clients accelerate sales revenue by building their Lead-to-Revenue capabilities. In many cases, we work as an extension of our client’s organization. We needed a tool to track resources, projects, time, and deliverables both for our internal team and for projects that include client resources. So while we’re a small company, we need to manage numerous projects and deadlines at any given time.

For our situation, we like the flexibility of Keyedin Projects to fit our operating environment and the project portfolio management capabilities. We prefer to initiate and plan projects at the top level and then add detail as information becomes available. We can manage as much, or as little as we need for a particular project or client.

The PPM reporting gives us an automated, big picture view of current projects, resource loading and upcoming deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyedIn?

The learning curve for new team members to get started is higher than a basic task tracking / project management tool such as Trello or BaseCamp. But this tool gives us the macro view of resource loading and project activity that a simpler tool doesn’t provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering KeyedIn:

Don't under-estimate the time it takes to configure the system. Even though it is a reasonably mature cloud solution, we found there is still a lot of configuration required to make sure it all works together. As with a lot of systems, one small configuration setting can lead to unforeseen consequences further down the workflow and can take some time to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a tool that allowed gave us a top-down perspective on projects and resources. For us, starting with this strategic, business level view is more important than the time consuming task of defining projects starting with the details. Instead, we add project details and resources as needed for a given project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
