What do you like best about Silverbucket?

Silverbucket user interface is intuitive and straightforward. Making the resource allocation and changing them is very simple and easy to use. Basic use of the solution is easy to learn. The most critical data is available over the APIs. Hour logging is really simple and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silverbucket?

There is too much information on some of the same pages, and few annoying inconsistencies should be removed. Internal reporting capabilities are confusing and not all information available thru APIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Resource allocation and planning is the primary reason why we are using Silverbucket. Project allocation and visibility over the teams was earlier missing and Silverbucket has helped with this a really lot. Also hour logging was too complicated in our previous solution but in Silverbucket it's effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silverbucket?

Silverbucket is a very flexible tool that can be used creatively for different needs. It combines nicely planning and tracking working hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silverbucket?

The tool works best for organizations that charge their work by hour. It can also be used for projects with a fixed price, but this messes up some of the reporting. The reporting section could also be made more flexible. Finally, the tool is not optimal for organizations where many people work part-time doing varying hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The tool enables managing complexity in a project-based environment. The benefits are not only financial but also human: the positive impact on well-being is huge when resourcing is under control and workloads are balanced proactively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Silverbucket?

Easy to use, gives you really good oversight how the people are resourced and if they are sitting on the bench. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Silverbucket?

The first UI was best, easy and quick to use, now there is more scrolling and too much of empty space, which makes the scrolling slower. Tool does not support management reporting at all. That would be an asset to tool. Also the tool does not support vacation handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Silverbucket:

Simple, Quick and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Originally there was no visibility how people were supposed to be in different project. With current tools, we can see it. Resourcing is effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
