Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our experience has been satisfactory, but they should improve the automation of the reports that are not bad but can be more functional. Sometimes the platform is slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The tools of this platform adapt very well to our needs and work systems, it is very flexible. Let's roll out Sciforma in our IT group and then add it to other departments.

It is really important for us to use this platform since it allows us to carry out an organization with project management in a different and flexible way, it provides traditional functions in relation to these such as schedules, portfolio reports, Gantt and budgets.

What do you like best about Sciforma?

As a project manager for the company where I work, having a tool that really helps me keep projects in order is crucial for me, so when I discovered Sciforma I was very impressed thanks to its simple and straightforward interface, but at the same time powerful that it allowed me, precisely, to do what I wanted to do so much, which was to organize the functions of my work team and visualize the status of the projects under my charge. Additionally, it provides the tool to create various diagrams, which as we all know are necessary to have a better understanding of the project and its flow of activities, which is quite useful if we consider that Sciforma already does this for us and that we should not do an additional diagram. Another point in its favor is that it has the reporting tool, in which it provides us with objective information about how the project is developing, with which we can make estimates and calculate its progress, as well as determine the current status of the project. draft. It is easy to customize, so we can give you a unique design that suits the project we are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sciforma?

The reports could be more complete in terms of information, I consider that there may be other elements that could be added and give greater robustness to the information presented. Also, software tends to freeze in some situations, greatly affecting its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I said before, as a project manager this system was a great discovery since it allowed me to obtain project metrics, know the status of the project, see those responsible for the development of activities and constantly monitor the project from a small but quite complete application, basically simplified my work since now if I want to know some information or details of a project in my charge, instead of resorting to looking for documents in my office, I can make a query through the system and obtain all the information I need from easy and fast way.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sciforma?

One of the problems that I consider annoying, is its user interface, that is to say that it is clumsy, does not contain the necessary features to ensure a versatile handling flow, which is not intuitive, and does not acquire a greater learning curve to gain more insight into how the software works, nor does it offer the advice needed to become a competent trader with other companies operating with other portfolio management systems and business projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sciforma is appropriate for an already established team that needs a greater flow of outstanding and complex projects, it maintains many functions that help the labor work, being in itself more comfortable when exercising it in any company of innovation in technological projection, this software is highly sought after by high-class companies such as small ones, because it is flexible in its design and robust when exercising the web application, mentioning that it has several different procedures for which it is a trend in the commercial and web business world. which makes it highly recommended.

What do you like best about Sciforma?

Sciforma provides a full set of useful out-of-the-box features and supports your PPM maturity growth.

Depending to your business and organizational context, it is easy to configure and add specific reports for end-users. Sciforma offers a well user experience for our project managers, provides various reports (project, portfolio, resources,...) and help us to take the good decisions about our capacity plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sciforma?

Sciforma is not a magical tool that solve all your problems :-)

As all tools, it supports your governance, process and methods. Even if Sciforma is accessible for common teams, it should be deployed and used in parallel of a continuous improvement cycle on the way you work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sciforma:

- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our main pain point before using Sciforma was our capacity plan (no consolidated data, bad decisions because of bad overall visibility)

As all company works now on this collaborative tool (and follows a minimum set of rules), we improve our reporting, anticipate some common problems and offer better visibility on project progress to stakeholders and customers.

Sciforma offers a well user experience for our project managers, provides various reports (project, portfolio, resources,...) and help us to take the good decisions about our capacity plan.

We also integrate our Sciforma instance with our operational tool (JIRA) and our accounting / invoicing tool to accelerate customer invoincing process.

Sciforma help us on daily tasks... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sciforma?

Even though the interface is simple (in a good way) you can get deep analysis (i.e cost analysis, resource utilization, etc). It is very easy to navigate and I recommend this tool in companies that have employee that are change averse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sciforma?

The Backend interface is really odd to use, there should be a way to get prior version of form instead of creating a backup.

We should be able to see a preview of the form and see the code to make the development and troubleshooting process easier and faster.

In essence, we deserve to have a very intuitive way of doing report and also a way to troubleshoot it. Maybe by mimicking what's done with IDEs, for exemple being able to debug a report, see the value of different variable instead of display it in the form, save it, refresh the page in sciforma and see Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sciforma:

use the feature as is, avoid customization (especially with reports, as it's hard to learn how to do it, tedious to set up and maintain) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to give the manager better information about the utilization of there resources. With this tool we can now understand what are the challenge of planning (ex: a team is working on some small support issues and they do not tell the team about it. with sciforma we are able to quantify this and work our way to a better communication in the team.

- Developing interface between Sciforma and other third party applications allow also a better integration of Sciforma within a company information system (ex : non working period synchronization, user/resource synchronization, planning data export, reference table synchronization, import spent time)
