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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Zoho social has articulate social media analytical option that helps us capture the insights from customers. The program has affordable rates that makes us acquire it swiftly.
  • Zoho Projects is a service that is quite optimized for carrying out large projects. I highly recommend this platform for any company that is thinking of carrying out quite extensive projects with extensive employee collaboration. I really liked that this platform allows me to have budget management and project management. capital for each of the projects, this platform allows you to record a specific budget for each of the projects, in addition, this budget management is capable of recording each of the expenses that are made to contribute or to progress within the project, all The expenses are registered within this database and I can always consult all the expenses that have occurred within a project. I also liked that this platform allows me to have a wide management of projects in real time, this platform that allows me to visualize the progress of each project in a simple way. How can I visualize the projects in board view or list view, in both ways I I have felt quite comfortable, since this platform provides advanced statistics and details in each of the views of my projects, which allows me to monitor each of the details of each project in real time. I also liked the diagram system used by this platform, since it allows me to obtain gantt diagrams for each of the projects that are being developed, these diagrams allow me to statistically visualize the progress that I have had within a project and if it is in accordance with previously planned How can I know if the project is being developed according to plan or if there are any deviations, in addition, I can also see the statistical progress of each of the activities assigned to each project. This platform also has a system to count the work hours of each employee, in addition, I can also count the hours or the exact time that each employee takes to complete an activity. Since I started it, this system is quite suitable for me since this allows you to count the general hours that each employee has dedicated to the development of a specific project.
  • Zoho Projects has been a platform that has not only helped me manage each of my company's projects, but has also worked perfectly to manage all kinds of planned activities and tasks in my company. One of the main things I like about this platform is that it allows me to manage and monitor each of the tasks in real time, I can monitor how many participants there are in each activity that is being developed or in each planned activity, in addition, it also allows me to monitor everything that the participants of a type of work that is developing a specific activity are talking about, this monitoring service helps me a lot to be able to visualize the work that my employees are doing in real time. Another of the things that I like about this platform is the main color and how organized it is, mainly because it is able to divide each of the areas of my company and divide all the activities that I have planned for each specific area. It provides separate columns for each sector of the company, and allows me to know the activities that have been planned for each sector. I liked this main panel since it allows me to visualize each activity broadly and individually for each sector. In addition, I have loved the excellent Reminders and alerts service that this platform has, it sends me alerts when an activity has been completed or when an activity has not been completed within the time limit, in addition, it also allows me to send notifications or reminders to participants of each planned activity.
  • Zoho Projects is the ideal platform to have a correct vision of the project you want to develop, with the help of this platform to make a correct administration of each one of the resources and the budget that you have for each one of the projects, in addition, you will be able to manage the large number of participants that each project will have. One of the main things that I like about this platform is that you can manage the budgets, the platform allows you to add each of the materials that you will need and the cost of each of them, in addition, it will provide you with suggestions to reduce the general cost of the project. budget, this function is relatively important since it helps you to take care of the capital of your company and helps you to develop the project without using many resources. Another thing that I like about this platform is that you can integrate an unlimited number of participants for each project, in addition, I also love that you can closely monitor the activities that the participants are developing, you can find out what an employee has contributed to the project, you can know if the activities that have been programmed for the contribution to the project have already been completed, without a doubt this function is very important and helps you avoid having employees without contributing anything.
  • Zoho Projects is one of the best softwares to manage projects out there. It comes with many useful tools that can be customized to my liking, many templates for different types of projects that can also be customized to fit into the project theme and adjust it the most to make sure the project is done in a great manner and succeeds in the market. I like that Zoho Projects has a variety of features that help track the process of many projects, we can track every task and make sure we complete every milestone that we place and every goal that we create, it is very easy to complete all tasks when they can be sorted in different views for very digestion of them, I can choose different charts to view the projects such as Gantt charts, which are my favorite, because they allow me to have a robust view of the most important tasks that need to be done in order to complete a project, and have a broader look at their dependencies. For this software, there are many things that speed up projects, and one of them is its incredible extensive reporting function. I feel very confident while using the reporting tool because it is very customizable and provides great information about the status of a project, with many analytics that allow me to have more insights on what is going on and things that may have been missed, it gives great information on finished projects and helps me make different decisions and create different tasks that will help keep a positive outlook on these projects. With Zoho Projects, it is very easy to manage multiple projects at the same time since its tools are carefully designed to carry out multiple duties and different tasks, it makes the management process much more simple and creates a space where it is actually easy to have all projects under control, and manage all the subtasks that come with every project. I think this is a great solution to keep a stable workflow and not have all the information about projects all over the place on different applications or softwares, it is very easy to import data into this software and start managing it all in this place.

Cons

  • The program has sluggish live chat and we need a speedy one.
  • The only negative characteristic that was perceived about this platform is regarding the implementation system of this platform, since the initial configuration process is not easy at all with more so, when it is simply for the first time within your company, you will have to contact a sales person or a trained team to help you during the general configuration process. Since this platform has many configurations for monitoring projects, it also has to make configurations for monitoring working hours and many more things like this platform, in general, it is quite difficult to implement for the first time, therefore, like any person without previous experience, you may have various difficulties to implement this platform within your company. Zoho Projects has great utility within the business environment as well due to its ease of managing events and projects, however, the initial implementation process is very complicated.
  • I have never really had any type of problem with this task management platform, at all times I have been able to create new tasks and plan them for specific dates, in addition, I have always been able to manage the number of participants for each activity, this platform has behaved wonderfully and it has never given me any kind of problems. I have loved the experience that I have had a version for computers, in the web version and also the version for mobile devices. Also, I do not have any kind of complaint with the free version provided by this platform, since when I started using this free version, I was able to access the vast majority of functions offered by this platform, quickly after using this version for a week, I proceeded to use a paid version, and in both versions I felt very comfortable, I have no type of complaint with the free version or with the paid version, in both versions I have felt very comfortable and I have been able to have a correct administration of activities.
  • One of the main problems faced when using this platform in your work area is that you cannot use it because you do not have an active Internet connection, so if you want to manage any type of project or want to monitor the progress of a specific project, you should having a totally stable internet connection, this is a very shocking negative characteristic, since I would like to plan all kinds of projects and manage the budget for each of them from anywhere in the world, regardless of whether or not I have an internet connection, it is really necessary that simply some function to continue using the platform despite not having Internet. Another negative thing about this platform is that it can be a bit difficult to use. When I started using it, I noticed that adapting to the platform was quite a complex process. However, I was able to adapt thanks to the use of a work team. Quite trained that helped me adapt correctly, however, I consider that this platform needs a manual so that users can use it without any complexity.
  • I do think that Zoho Projects is very difficult to work with, especially in the beginning when first learning about all the tools included in this, it feels very cluttered and it does not feel very intuitive when it comes to the user interface. Many times I had issues where I did not know how to do certain things for project management and I was very confused; when trying to reach out to customer support for help, I experienced a very poor customer support and it did not solve my questions and doubts, I had to figure them out on my own with the help on the guides that the software has added on the help FAQ; even though these guides helped me, I feel like a proper customer service should be responsive enough that it feels actually present in a software and feels reliable enough so that when issues come up, I feel relief knowing that there is a service that will help me, unfortunately, this has not been my experience with Zoho Projects and I hope they improve this part of their service as it is a very important aspect of a project management tool.
