David M.: Hi, I'm David. I'm a consultant for a firm that specializes in human resources. I give LiquidPlanner a four out of five. We tried to use a product with Atlassian. We tried to use the planner feature in Microsoft as well. But ultimately, we've hit upon LiquidPlanner as the best project management solution for our business. We really like LiquidPlanner at my firm because we engage in multiple projects at the same time with different clients. But those projects have a similar structure. So, there's a template within LiquidPlanner where you actually build out the basic steps of your project, and then every time we engage a new client, we're able to just deploy that template. As opposed to have to setting up every client engagement from scratch, we're able to use the template and get started in a matter of minutes. Another feature of LiquidPlanner that we really value is the way the handoffs work between project steps. What we found with a lot of project management software is you set your timeframe and it's based upon dates. So, if there's a handoff involved, most project management software would trigger the handoff based off of the date, not whether the handoff had actually occurred. But in LiquidPlanner, it doesn't actually notify the individual who's responsible for the next step until you actually indicate that you've completed that step and then initiate the handoff. So, it's very easy as an employee, particularly if you're involved in multiple projects as we are, that you really can just look at LiquidPlanner and it tells you exactly what steps you need to be doing. You don't have to interface with your colleagues and figure out where they are. If it's in your inbox in LiquidPlanner, then that means you need to be doing it. It's very easy. It's a pretty intuitive interface. It does take a little bit of time to build up the project template that I talked about earlier, but again, once you've taken the time to build that, you can then leverage that over and over again very easily. I would highly recommend LiquidPlanner for anybody who engages in multiple projects that have a similar structure, where you're deploying the same project steps or similar project steps over and over. I don't think it's probably the best project managing software if you are dealing with a new project every single time, but if like a lot of companies out there, you're doing the same things over and over again with different clients or different customers, LiquidPlanner is, in my opinion and experience, definitely the easiest project management software to use.
