Streamtime Pros and Cons

To be a designer in creative team, Streamtime is refreshing from the clunky project management software. One simple integration benefit is that Streamtime happily coexists with popular design tools to avoid distraction and, therefore, help improve our design flow.

Preparation of detailed reports about the projects timelines, team performance or budgetary plans may be cumbersome. This means that it becomes very challenging to evaluate the progress of a specific project or to determine what may be wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They've tried to reinvent time management and project planning, so if you're keen to find a disruptor then this might be for you. Supports manually set up 2FA for users. It's possible to create multiple departments or business units for the purpose of reporting, tracking, or scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every aspect of the app takes a lot of work. If you want to pull a report, you need to drill down to filters in ambiguously named sections like "To do", "Jobs", "Schedule", and "Priorities". Generally no one can remember which section contains which information, so our users click around the software every time, leading to lack of productivity and low engagement with the platform.

The planning features are so cumbersome that our studio has gone from our team scheduling in Google Sheets or Harvest as someone's part time role, to needing a full time resource manager just to understand and maintain Streamtime.

The reinvention of how resourcing typically works means that those on our team who are experienced in project management still have to re-learn everything from scratch. The philosophy behind Streamtime's task assignment and project management also steers towards micro-managing users by breaking down time into very small, specific tasks, so anyone doing project planning will have a huge time overhead, and those being assigned tasks might feel micro-managed.

Lack of SSO or directory or provisioning support means that you'll be manually provisioning and deprovisioning users, and enterprise grade access or security policies are not possible.

When we signed up, we were promised the world in terms of customising features, future capabilities of the platform, and essentially the approach that "if it doesn't do it already, we'll find a way to make it possible for you", however generally none of those promises have been delivered on once we signed.

The product is generally more expensive than most other options on the market, so given the complexity of use, lack of enterprise-grade features, and slow/limited product development, we're looking to move away to something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is cloud-based and allows me to access my information on my desktop and mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is still buggy and sometimes requires a complete restart of Chrome to fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to customise quotes, purchase orders and invoices would be welcome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, feels much more like a tool for our industry (creative) than many other spreadsheet type platforms. Oh and we don't have to do timesheets - if we use it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looking forward to a new release of scheduling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
