Viewpath Reviews & Product Details

The Viewpath platform has allowed us to create projects that break departmental information silos and place all internal and external stakeholder tasks in one comprehensive task list - even allowing different deadline charting options to accommodate different visualization needs.

There was a learning curve to discover how to appropriately set up constraints inside of different event project templates - however, the Viewpath team was awesome at answering questions and getting us on the right track! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Viewpath answers all of the complications with other PM software applications with intuitive user friendly solutions best appreciated by PM’s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Uncertainty of longevity. Viewpath needs desperately to expand its adoption. It’s a great product that needs to increase marketing effort particularly in the PM channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use. It is a great way to keep track of long term tasks that are part of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't used any other online management systems so I have nothing to compare it to. I really don't have anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Viewpath provides a very rich environment for the project teams to work and gives the project manager the tools needed to plan and execute projects. It presents the right information, at the right level to each user type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't a negative, but I want more portfolio management tools and I hear they are coming. This will soon be moved to the positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whether you are planning your day, your week, a month or your year, Viewpath empowers you to make informed choices. Because you can see your commitments and responsibilities at a glance, it's easy to prioritize how you spend your time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any new program, platform or application, using Viewpath may appear challenging at first, but because easier as the weeks go by. Perhaps the best thing about facing these challenges is the customer service provided. If answers to your questions can't be found in the FAQs, customer service is prompt, friendly and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web-based tool (so it can be accessed anywhere).

Easy to configure the different fields to show only the level of detail you're interested in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it comes to task relationships for detailed construction management it falls short. There aren't enough options for task relationships (only start-start, start-finish, and finish-start).

The resource scheduling feature seems like it could be improved to help people manage group work load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The things that set View Path apart from other Gantt chart planners are the ways it allows customization.

We use the following features:

Resource Availability: we use this to rank worker efficiency. A slow or fast work automatically lengthens or shortens the task time.

Assignments: Adding more workers automatically changes the task duration.

Gantt: The Gantt displays work completed vs total work.

I've looked at and tried other Gantt products. This one is the best for us.

Best of all, support gets back to you fast if you have questions or problems.

Things I'd like to see improved are:

The task is marked complete when total hours worked equals budgeted hours and it is automatically marked as completed. Sometimes tasks take longer than scheduled. I'd like to see a better way to monitor hours over budget.

Little integration with other programs. I'd love to have both time and attendance and View Path together. View Path does have a very basic time and attendance, but it's not adequate for or needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can access Viewpath from any web browser without installing any other software. I like that I can sort view only those tasks that belong to em by running reports. I like that i can control what projects are listed in reports based on what project tabs are open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Viewpath can be a little unwieldy when there are many (think hundreds) of simultaneous projects with many (think a hundred or so) tasks per project and many (think dozens) users. Load time becomes a little slow. Additionally, it doesn't seem like the time between "checking a box" and the server registering that the box is checked is instant; sometimes I'll check a task as complete, and then minutes later when I'm leaving the webpage I'll get a warning.

simple data entry, support for dependencies among project tasks, calculates duration based on allocation and estimated work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

resource management view assumes everyone works a 40 hour work week, this didn't work well for a company with multiple part time resources. Intermittent issues calculating project budget lead us to manually check the math before every quote. The timer did not work. If you refreshed or closed the browser, you'd lose logged time. We ended up using Zoho Invoice's timer and manually entering logged time into Viewpath. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to assign tasks and track their completion is a real asset. The entire team relies on their ability to check their task completion on their home screen. Our team is reliant on the task list to make sure that they are hitting the marks crossed multiple initiatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While recurrent projects can be accommodated, it would be great to have a "reset" option that would allow us to mark "incomplete" any tasks assigned to team members for the next year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
