What do you like best about Workzone?

I like being able to have a variety of templates so each project type can be created easily. And, I like being able to add/remove steps in the process and extend a workflow as the scope of the project changes or revisions are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workzone?

Sometimes the contingencies make getting the ideal date to line up tricky within a complex workflow. And, I would like for closed projects to 'reopen' automatically if new tasks are added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workzone:

Setting up templates is a key first step to successful implementation of the software. Communicated what information should be communicated in the various areas within a workflow is also important to consistent and effective communication within the team. There are a lot of ways to use the tool, so figuring out how your team finds/uses information is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We no longer need to manually and physically move projects through our ad agency. The workflows indicate whose turn it is in the process and even assigning tasks to multiple people is possible for multiple reviewers. It has saved a ton of steps, allowed people to work remotely where before it was next to impossible and provided insight into where issues and delays occur. Deadlines that are missed are flagged so we don't continue to get further behind schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workzone?

I like the ability to organize projects by category and year - it's great for keeping me on track and an essential tool for managing multiple clients simultaneously, with the ability to see deadlines by date so you can easily see which tasks are pressing. Also helpful for our Director of Projects to see all tasks and keep the rest of the team on target. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some functions I wish WZ had that would aid in ease of use, for example, the ability to copy over a project template to a new year where the dates update based on the prior year, not based on the date you drag over the template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could add more reporting options. If I need to report on historical information, we have difficultly filtering and searching archived projects. Hard to see how many reports are open at certain point in time.
