About

PingCadence is a web-based status-collection tool for project managers, PMO leads, and program or engineering managers. It imports task plans from Jira, Asana, monday.com, Trello, ClickUp, Wrike, and Microsoft Planner, and accepts Excel or CSV files and Microsoft Project XML or Excel exports. For each task, it prepares a check-in showing planned dates and sends it through the manager’s Outlook or Gmail account, either after review or on a schedule. Task owners respond through a link without creating an account, selecting on track, hard to say, or not on track and proposing updated dates. Managers review responses and may apply date changes, which can be written back to supported trackers. PingCadence preserves the baseline schedule and provides status reporting, including pending responses and proposed changes, with PDF and CSV exports. The free tier supports one plan and up to 10 people; paid plans add scheduled check-ins, reminders, write-back, and report exports.

About

Tempo Portfolio Manager (formerly LiquidPlanner) is a dynamic project scheduling and resource management platform that uses predictive AI to forecast when work will realistically be completed. Its scheduling engine runs Monte Carlo simulations using team bandwidth, task priorities, and ranged estimates to deliver completion forecasts with up to 90% confidence. Automatic resource leveling adjusts schedules instantly when priorities shift or team availability changes, highlighting bottlenecks and preventing burnout. By modeling uncertainty with ranged estimates rather than a single guess, it replaces static plans that are out of date the moment they are saved. Teams plan, predict, and optimize complex portfolios across the entire organization from a single workspace. Portfolio Manager is part of Tempo's broader Strategic Portfolio Management portfolio spanning planning, resourcing, cost, and reporting for delivery-focused organizations.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Dynamic dashboards providing real time project performance insights. Also it has robust collaboration tools like task conversations & notifications.
  • It's a very versatile and eloquent tool for project collaboration. The customer support is just elegant and effective.
  • User friendly. Good KPI of resource work load. Easy reprioring setup. Great tool to communicate the priority to the team. Great tool to communicate the projects status to the board of directors.
  • Able to organize hundreds of concurrent projects with different task strings in each and track hours and workload across multiple users. Each project and task can be marked with custom fields, which provides many reporting and analytic tools. The Classic version is very customizable and has been working stably for us for many years.
  • Detailed time and task tracking with export to Excel for analysis. Easy re-prioritization of tasks and projects with instant visualization of the impact on other projects. Easy delegation to teams. Blend of portals and email for external stakeholders. Dashboards for external stakeholders.

Cons

  • There will be a steep learning curve to master the unique scheduling methodology, can be be complex for smaller teams with basic project needs.
  • I got great admiration for it's consistency with project collaboration.
  • The expense module is not very good, it's easier to use an excel spread sheet.
  • Like all project management systems, there is a time investment needed to set up your workspace.
  • Would like to be able to switch timers on and off using the mobile app. Would like the option to choose portal ON as default at the project level and then remove tasks rather than adding each task to a portal. As a small, independent user it would be nice to be able to obtain cheaper seats for shorter periods (e.g. six weeks instead of a year) but you can't have everything in life.
