CEO & Founder Fund-Raising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "EMDESK platform pros & cons" March 10, 2022 5.0 I like how you can visualize the entire project and have all the information in a single platform and tool. Pros It is a software completely aligned with the European programs. It is very versatile for project design and for project management. Cons It is difficult to prepare the Gantt and introduce in the software the project resources and all the information when you are preparing a proposal. You have to invest time in it and compared to other tools (i.e., Excel) it is not that simple. Reason for choosing EMDESK Platform There are other project management platforms but these are not designed for European projects. Review Source NB Nadine B. Project Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "EMDESK is a great tool to monitor and manage multiple projects " August 8, 2023 5.0 I am a great enthusiast of EMDESK and I recommend it quite often. Pros The "one-solution-for-all-needs" mentality, I do appreciate most. This approach will help me now and in the future to use less single tools for different needs. EMDESK can support many project management needs with one single platform. Cons An older version of EMDESK was used by us for a number of years. The new EMDESK is much more advanced and I was very positively suprised by the new layout and new functionalities. However, some important tools are still under development, such as the project calendar or also the 'track-changes' option in EMDoc, when working collaboratively in the team on one document. If the development would be a bit faster, I would have more good arguments for our project partners to decide now for EMDESK. Currently some projects, mainly those with very tight budget, prefer the 0€ costs options out there, even if using multiple ones is then needed for having all the features wanted, and even if the safety of their data is then not guaranteed.

Research Programmes Office Manager Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "The CING" March 9, 2022 3.0 Pros possibility to have all information of a project on a platform where all partners and parties involved would have access Cons Complexity of using and creating profile of a project Review Source LC Luis C. Prof. Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good experience with EMDESK" August 8, 2023 5.0 Using EMDES as a project coordinator has allowed me to easily manage projects, ensuring proper compliance with the work plan, continuous verification of work development and correct use of resources. All of this also allows for easy preparation of periodic and final project reports. Pros It is very important software for the continuous management of a project, allowing a complete and updated view at any time. In general, it is easy to use and the technical support is efficient and quick to respond. Cons The impossibility of editing files of various extensions on the platform, namely Word, Excel, Power Point and others, which greatly limits teamwork. Reason for choosing EMDESK Platform I did not find in the market, the first time I used EMDESK, another product with functions equivalent to EMDESK. As the first experience was very good, in the second project, as coordinator, I decided to use EMDESK again. Review Source MC Maurizio C. EU Project Manager Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I use EMDESK to manage my tasks in multiple EU projects" April 7, 2022 4.0 EMDESK is best used if you are a project coordinator, however you can effectively manage multiple projects as partner and keep track of all the main deliverables and milestones with a single software Pros EMDESK is a project management software built for EU projects. The structure of the tool mirrors the format of EU projects and this makes life of an EU project manager easier than other more general software management tools that need to be adapted. Cons I'd like to see more features designed for managing day- to-day routines and minor tasks that you need to carry out to achieve project milestones. However the regular software updates tend to introduce more and more flexibility and with a bit of creativity you can adapt the activities and events to most of your needs Reason for choosing EMDESK Platform The EMDESK support team is always available, they genuinely listen to customers advice to improve the platform with regular updates.
