Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros User interface is fantastically straightforward. Tremendous flexibility in configuring the tool to meet our specific needs. User adoption is high with such a logical, clean interface. Great visibility of projects and programs as well as portfolio health. Easy to navigate Easy to add new users to the system and assign appropriate permissions Very easy package to use - navigating & updating, creating new reports. Intuitive. Everything from a PM perspective contained within the various tabs. Easy to share progress, related documents etc with stakeholders. Easy to navigate to other project status reports which may have an impact or dependency on your project. New functionality delivered quite frequently. I'm sure it serves a purpose, but not the way we are using it. Great views of projects, great view to show stakeholders and a good reference to show an overall status of projects. Cons Reporting is a bit limited when you need to do custom reporting, but improvements are coming. Timeline is a bit lacking but at a high level, it meets our specific needs, but again, improvement is coming. While I am a fairly new user to Acuity, I don't have any issues with the system. 1. Have encountered an intermittent issue when adding a new risk or issue and app displays blank boxes without a title. Resolution is to shutdown app and restart because if you do try and fill out the blank boxes the risk or issue will not save. 2. Sometimes when editing a status repot and I've used back space it all the text above is accidentally delete, sometimes a whole paragraph. I have to re-enter updates so have learnt to frequently save the report as I update it. Doesn't allow effective decisions to be made from a complete range of source data that automatically calculates variances to key metrics, and then presents them in a succinct format. 1. There are some views and reporting (specific to our company) that I am not able to customize. However, I do have some workarounds in place. 2. Integration with other tools (export and import data) 3. Security/Access: Limiting access to certain views based on the resource. 4. Capacity tool should have more customizations (build in customize shrinkage and also view in hours vs. percent)		Pros from Real Users Pros Intuitive graphical user interface is easy to use. Simple to implement and minimal training is needed to get up and running on the platform. Saves times and money by providing tools to manage team time utilization, capacity, and resource use and keep projects profitable. Pricing provides good value, and the customer support is excellent. It has a multi role in business. It helps you track each employee work time on projects. Helps to plan better for projects. Also helps to balance employees workload.
