Global Planning Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NetPoint from a large Global Business" June 1, 2022 5.0 PMA as a business and as a tool have been very supportive and successful platform for our business. Our customers request this tool on many projects and is our standard IAP planning tool for the entire organization. PMA customer service is always willing to help very quickly. They have helped us solve many topics that come up with NetPoint. Pros offers features unlike any other planning software. The viewing capabilities our project teams can see when we move task is above other planning tools. This allows our teams to become more interactive with the schedule and can really see the logic/dates they are assigning activities. Cons Currently none, functions properly for our business needs.

June 7, 2017 4.0 Simplifies interactive planning. Easy to understand by stakeholders for their review and "buy-In" of the plan. Helps focus on critical and near critical path in addition to manage project floats. Great tool to simplify the complex and help upper management in decision making. Great tool for on the spot "What-If" scenarios. Real time and visual aid on impact on project plan based on changes and progress. Pros Easy to use and very intuitively. Great for interactive planning. Prefer software for upper management to understand critical and near critical path. Help team members to focus on critical activities and manage project floats. Easy to export data to Excel including charts. Easy to update and track changes. I used this software on a daily basis with directors, plant managers and execution leads. I will highly recommend to anyone who has to work with planning and scheduling. Customer Support is A+! Fast response and issue resolve within same business day. Cons Inserting standards "Clip Arts" like arrows, lines, geometric figures not very intuitive and with no options like in MS Office products. Most cases I use a print screen in PowerPoint/Word for better comments. Resource chart and over limit not always easy to convey and understand. Review Source Response from PMA Technologies June 6, 2022 Thanks for the fantastic review, Gustavo! Glad to hear NetPoint is working for you and your organization. We take pride in simplifying complex decision making and are always working to enhance NetPoint. We are lucky to have you as a customer! BF Brian F. director, project scheduling Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "review" May 23, 2022 5.0 Pros This is a must have scheduling software for planning professionals Cons Ease of use and ability to clearly communicate schedules and workplans Review Source Response from PMA Technologies June 6, 2022 Brian, thank you so much for your review! It is awesome to hear the way you are using NetPoint for your project scheduling and planning. We are thrilled that you found NetPoint easy to use when working with the software. CE Colin E. Director of J. C. Consulting Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My discovery of NetPoint" April 11, 2017 5.0 I have been using project management tools for many years mainly for nuclear power unit maintenance outages which contain tens of thousands of activities manpower intensive and finely timed windows, also the need to get the unit back up safely and back producing power and earning money. High end scheduling tools were used that were very complicated and manpower intensive. But my main issue was how to show the overall project at a high level from a very detailed schedule. Well I found , at last a program that could show an entire complicated project on one screen that was also a scheduling tool and could be resource and cost loaded. It was very intuitive to learn, but what I liked best was I was able to gather our entire project management team and executives in one room and review the schedule from one end to the other, in away that all in the room could follow and understand. Another great feature was the ability to very quickly do what if's and scenarios if you have ever tried this with a 20,000 activity project with all it's relationships you know how time consuming it is, in my experience management want quick results to these situations. This is a great companion tool when client specs call for high end software schedules but also for any applications that do not call for a high end software package. This is a great scheduling tool, I had searched for many years for a package such as NetPoint. Down load the trial version and take a look that is what I did. Pros Ease of use, functionality and presentation in a form all the team can understand Cons Not much, for its cost and functionality it meets most of your project management needs. Review Source FB Francis B. Sr. Project Controls Planner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NetPoint Easy" May 31, 2022 5.0 We are using to show project schedules to people that need to understand what is going on but don't know how to read P6. Pros Easy to learn and use, many ways to show progress of a project Cons Nothing I've found yet, you make a good product that is easy to use and understand. It allows us to show others, not in planning, just what is going on at any given time. Review Source Response from PMA Technologies July 18, 2022 Francis, thank you so much for your review! It's valuable to hear the way you are using NetPoint to communicate the schedules to people that might not be able or want to understand a P6. We are thrilled that you found NetPoint easy to use when working with the software. AD Angela D. Project Controls Lead Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NetPoint Used for Upstream Oil & Gas" April 18, 2017 5.0 is a vital tool being used to assist multiple offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico in planning projects and POB (Persons On Board). Asset stakeholders are especially drawn to the visual aspects of NetPoint and the ability to see the affects of moving activities on the fly. I have been using this program for over 4 years and I find that it is very user friendly. I was able to learn how to use the program during a 1 hour training session and a week later I presented it to a team that made the decision to use the tool for a 3+ year offshore program. Pros Ease of use & visual aspects Cons I don't like that you can't change the histogram. I'd like to be able toggle back and forth from # of hours to # of POB (persons on board). I'd also like to be able to overlap bars with the ability to bring forward and push back. Review Source GK Gerald K. Director of Construction Engineering and Management Program Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NetPoint Use for Civil Engineering Students" September 20, 2022 5.0 I think it is extremely valuable for today's students to know various planning software and be able to use the right tool for the opportunity. Pros My undergraduate and graduate students find the software very intuitive and demonstrative. They download a trial copy of and this works perfectly for short-term assignments (less than 4 weeks in duration) that are used in several courses in our current curriculum. Cons Not that this is a problem, but for the students to have an appreciation of what does and be able to interpret their schedule, they need a primer on the GPM algorithm to be able to compare against CPM algorithm that is also presented in my classes. Review Source Response from PMA Technologies September 30, 2022 Thanks for the fantastic review, Gerald! Glad to hear your students found NetPoint to be an intuitive demonstrative for planning. We appreciate the feedback on providing more information on GPM algorithm and how it compares with CPM. We are lucky to have you as a customer!\] JT James T.

Cons In general it seems very simple, to schedule many tasks Review Source SK Sachin K. Project control Specialist II Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Netpoint pros and cons" December 11, 2024 5.0 My Overall experience with and Net risk is very satisfying and i recommend it to my colleagues . However if you will release official step by step video lectures or tutorial it will be wonderful. Pros 1) User friendly interface 2) Good graphics Cons 1) If we can get an option to upload bulk activities and resources via excel through import button. 2) I know currently we have a PDF copy of user guide but if we can get a training tutorials for each and every topic it will do wonders. I have seen people trying to avoid the software because of lack of video tutorials for example on youtube. Switched from [Oracle Primavera Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/145503/Oracle-Primavera/) 1) Easy to explain schedule to clients. 2) It's my first priority for preparing level 2 schedules 3) Cant thinkof any other software for Interactive planning. Review Source Response from PMA Technologies January 14, 2025 Thank you, Sachin, for your kind words and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you find the interface user-friendly and the graphics impressive, and it’s great to know that NetPoint and NetRisk have provided a satisfying experience for you.

Project Control Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Net point is a good tool for Interactive Planning sessions & High level planning" December 11, 2024 4.0 For interactive planning sessions, it gives more convenience than P6. I tempt to prefer it over other tools during high level planning workshops. Pros 1\. Drawing timeline representation of activities is easier 2. Participants are convenient understanding the logic thats being built in a sequence 3. Cons 1\. Navigating among different Fragnets is difficult 2. Zooming in & out could be even better 3. upon inserting a rectangle (specifically), re-shaping it by dragging it from corners is a difficult task. Could be smoother 4. Printing a specific portion of the canvas by selecting could be made available 5. Activity description could have auto fit option Alternatives considered [Oracle Primavera Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/145503/Oracle-Primavera/) Reason for choosing NetPoint This is convenient for High level planning & Interactive planning workshops Review Source Response from PMA Technologies January 14, 2025 Thank you, RL Suresh, for your thoughtful and detailed feedback!

Head of Proyect Planning Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New user from Mexico" December 10, 2024 5.0 Very good, I am using it to do high-level project planning, then we work on the breakdown Pros the graphical interface, that at all times you see what you are doing Cons I'm still struggling a little to make the links between activities and milestones. I think it's a matter of practice Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing NetPoint recommendation from a company consultant Review Source Response from PMA Technologies January 14, 2025 Thank you, Coster, for your great feedback!

Quick to get on hand. Cons Poor customer service. There's no response for license activation email. I left messages on the website, but still no follow-up. It took us more than 3 months to finally have it activated. Review Source Response from PMA Technologies January 14, 2025 Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you found our scheduling tool useful and simple to use. We apologize for the delay with your license activation and the lack of follow-up—this is not the experience we strive to deliver, and we’ll work to improve our support process. GR Gerald R. Principal Civil Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What are you waiting for?" June 10, 2022 5.0 I have used for claim analysis, extensions of time determinations, and arbitration proceedings. Nothing convinces non-schedulers more clearly than a real scheduling program that functions with the simplicity of a visual bar/gantt chart. Critical paths change over time. It is difficult to prove/trace the history of the critical path especially if the schedule is not updated properly. Need to show the critical path left of the data date? Only NetPoint can do this. Non-schedulers don't care about the complexity of the calculations. I use NetPoint to tell the story of how events really happened and measure the reasonable impact of delays. NetPoint will not allow the operator to perform shenanigans with activity relationships. Pros It's easy to get started with . When you go down the rabbit hole to figure out how every feature works, that's when the power of NetPoint will truly become apparent. Cons Schedulers by nature are people with OCD tendencies. The display scaling on ultra high resolution monitors needs to be fixed. I'd like to see a refreshed and more polished user interface / GUI. The node control size of objects is limited to small, medium, large..this drives me nuts sometimes. I'd like more options to control the size formatting of objects. I would also like the Global Edit mode to keep things in place when I close the file, sometimes my edits violate various text/attribute placement parameters...this drives me nuts too. Overall if I leave these features at their default settings, its ok. I don't use printing features...cause they're not that great. I use Take Snapshot, bump up the width option, and save to file. Alternatives considered [Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) Reason for choosing NetPoint functionally supplements the scheduling products that I use. I have not chosen it to replace P6. NetPoint software can demonstrate value immediately, but clients are slow or reluctant to adopt. Contractor's not familiar with NetPoint often cast doubt on its results, claiming NetPoint is not "industry standard." Review Source Response from PMA Technologies July 18, 2022 Thanks for the great review, Gerald! Our innovation team is working on many of the items you mentioned for scaling and user interface. Please stay tuned for new features coming soon. VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder & CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NetPoint & NetRisk" November 2, 2018 4.0 I've used where schedules were needed to be prepared quickly in front of an audience of non-scheduling experts. I have also used Netpoint together with Netrisk to simply a much more complex P6 schedule for the purposes of running a Schedule Risk Analysis. Pros Its an exciting new method of Planning and Scheduling for projects, and + NetRisk really does follow the ethos of being a graphical and visual method of preparing schedules Cons Often need to be jumping across buttons and menus, and keyboard selection to do this is still quite limited. The formatting of the bars themselves should be more cutomisable. Review Source Ryan D. Civil/Construction Scheduler & Project Controls Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Outstanding Software that is User friendly and easy to read" April 12, 2018 5.0 Easy quick scheduling. Easy to translate message to owners and executive management Pros Extremely User Friendly and visually pleasing. Allows for scheduling flexibility and visualization No Need to worry about scheduling explosions when making changes (MS Project) Cons The software does have a capacity for activities. Somewhat bogs down the computer if your schedules are larger in size. Review Source Response from PMA Technologies June 6, 2022 Thank you for this review, Ryan! We greatly appreciate it and your emphasis on NetPoint's user-friendly functionality. NK NIKHIL K. Project Controls Analyst Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great Scheduling Software that will MS Project a run for its money" October 17, 2017 4.0 The best part about this software is that I can lay down schedules of multiple projects on one sheet and see if there are any overlaps between projects. In addition, it is great to make presentations to the board using this tool Pros The best part about the software is the ease of operability and the next best part is you can visualize the schedule which is great for presentations and gives you an overall view of the project Cons The things I like least about this software is that while being very user friendly and being great for presentations, it fails to solve the purpose a P6 might be able to solve. It does not allow me to have unique ID codes for activities, tasks etc. though being a great scheduling software it does not provide any cost control features provided by P6 Review Source HB Hunter B. Planner Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Planning tool Save time creating P6 schedules" April 24, 2019 4.0 Really have enjoyed using the software and always suggest using it to co workers! Game changer Pros Time saver when creating p6 schedule interactive with disciplines Easy to read and understand for non p6 users Cons Software lags in performance when dealing with many activities sensitive/touchy when using software.

Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Netpoint Scheduling Review" May 1, 2019 5.0 Pros This software provides schedules that are informative and very easy to read and present to clients. Cons Large schedules with many activities slow down computer speed when building or modifying the schedules. Review Source LMK Leo M. K. Portfolio Director Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Netpoint" May 7, 2019 4.0 big picture plans are easily shared. Pros visualization is the primary reason I use this product. It helps to convey strategy better than competitors. Cons does have a bit of a learning curve and it is not as intuitive as I would like.
