Workzone is ready to you out of the box. If you used Microsoft Project in the 90's, this will feel relatively comfortble to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tasking using dependencies is very helpful and saves a lot of time, especially when project timelines and due dates get moved or are late from partners. The calendar view is also very helpful, especially when planning ahead for time off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity is not something to be overlooked. It is a clean dashboard where many other similar systems that can be a lot to ask for. It also does a good job of allowing collaboration across departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workzone doesn't really align with many other online systems that allow a lot of integrations with other tools and customized reports. The tool really only works if you follow their work pattern. There is a lot of discussion of customized training, but we found it to be very generic and not well suited to how we worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After creating a project and tasking out all of the pieces, it can be difficult to go in and edit tasks or group tasks together, especially when there are dependencies and it can be difficult to find what dependency is preventing the edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels quite outdated. When using other software such as Asana or Monday, it feels very intuitive where workzone I am taking time to find where everything is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used the program to manage marketing campaigns and materials and in design of packaging. It was primarily used by my department and was used to a lesser extent across several other departments. Prior to implementing WorkZone the company was using Excel spreadsheets to manage their projects.
Unless you have the resources to create a proprietary project management software WorkZone was the best "off the shelf" software that I could find. It is also web based so it was easy to implement. It is easy to use and easy to train users on how to utilize the software. I was specifically looking for Project Management software for marketing purposes. Many of the software that is out there has been built for larger construction and software projects that may have a lot of dependencies. These types of software are too cumbersome for marketing projects and aren't user friendly. Although you could use WorkZone for these types of projects if you wanted too. Like BaseCamp you have the ability to share documents and post messages but in addition, you have easy to use timeline capabilities. It was also important to be able to build different types of reports for campaigns, projects and resources.

WorkZone is used as the platform to transfer secure payroll data back and forth with our payroll provider. It was used specifically for our international entities in 21 countries to upload their payroll data and obtain payroll reports after processing.
WorkZone is very user friendly. WorkZone is a very secure platform to transfer data.

Due to the sensitivity of payroll data, Workzone has proved to be the easiest and most secure platform to send payroll data back and forth with our payroll provider. Specifically, this platform is used for our international entities based in 30 countries to facilitate uploading of payroll data and obtaining payroll reports when processed.
Workzone is a very secure channel which guarantees 100% security of the user data to prevent it from landing in unwanted hands Workzone has a very attractive user interface which makes it very easy for new users to adopt Workzone allows creation of templates from existing projects, which saves time when dealing with similar projects

WorkZone was used at my previous job across the entire organization to help with project management between various departments and our clients. It helped communicate schedule changes and what each of us needed to accomplish on a particular day and notify people when a task was complete so the next step could be started.

We are currently using Workzone in our company for scheduling the project team to work on different projects and to manage our time allocated to each client project. We break down each project within Workzone and allocate tasks to interns to better manage our time as a company. Workzone helps us look to the future with our current work load.
If a project is put on hold by the client, Workzone sends me notifications that I am approaching a deadline that is no longer applicable. There needs to be a "on hold" button. Sometimes it is hard to forecast a few months out with projects, so I can only use the program for weekly projections. In my industry, there are daily fires we have to put out per say, that were not accounted for in the program. At that point I dont have time to update the schedule, because it is a moving target.

We used WorkZone for 4-5 years. We recently switched to a new interface that was a little more clean and client friendly. WorkZone was used throughout our entire company as a means to present our work to our clients. We would deliver roughs, sketches, scripts, ideas and much more all through WorkZone. WorkZone allows you to customize the logo for each company you work with, essentially giving all of your clients a way to login to a site that looks like it's just for them. WorkZone is easy to implement and offers a wide range of tools for sharing and development. It also has private folders that your client(s) cannot access or see. This allows for internal review without the worry of a rough leaking to your client before you had time to finesse it.
One of the reasons we left WorkZone was due to how videos/roughs were presented. While WorkZone does allow for a customizable and professional, clean looking interface; it did not offer everything we needed when it came to cross platform integration. WorkZone was also a little more pricy compared to a few competitors. WorkZone is worth the price and we loved using it, but a competitor offered an added feature that WorkZone does not offer that tipped the scales. There is no 'library'. As an AD Agency, we have worked on a lot of different spots for a lot of different clients. WorkZone did not offer a comprehensive library for us to upload content and use for presentations purposes. If WorkZone does add this feature later on down the road, it would be a great improvement and we would give serious thought about switching back.

Overall: Our experience with Workzone has been stellar. From the initial trial period when we were exploring new PM systems, to our onboarding and training, to current customer service and regular check-in calls, the entire Workzone team has been amazing to work with. They work to find solutions, really listen and take feedback to heart, and work hard to customize the system to our individual needs.

Overall: Mentioned it above, but their support is really great. You get to know the folks who work there and even though we're not a huge client, we feel totally supported. That really helps with communicating ideas, asking for advice, and making it a useful tool for your company. You're meeting with folks who know their software and not some third-party service reading through a decision chart.

Overall: There are no other companies for any software that support their customers as well as Workzone. From transparency and communication to continuously adding features, this is a company that listens to their customers and meets them where they are needed. We love Workzone!

Overall: Overall, the BEST program I've used to manage my projects - it's orderly, chronological, & easy to navigate. I've used other programs before, & they were a MESS. WZ's success is due to their attention to detail, & now their success is my success!
