Sales and Marketing Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Optimize projects using Proteus" February 3, 2023 5.0 We used Proteus on a US client who was looking for more organization in their numerous projects and it was a success. We are still using it today and the company reports that it has managed to improve the working time considerably. Pros It helps manage and track very large projects or even smaller projects. The tool is very interesting for companies that need to implement new projects quite frequently. Predefined settings help to show possible spending on a given project very easily. The web platform works very well. It has many integration with specific APIs. Cons The biggest difficulty is getting the team to accept the new tool, considering that in the past no type of tool was used to manage projects Review Source JM Jack M. Data Analyst Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic Software" November 2, 2021 5.0 Our experiences with Proteus has been excellent, they approached us with an exciting piece of software that has cut large portions of our costs and improved our workflows. Highly recommend! Pros The integrated timesheet system as well as the project management functions really improved the efficiency of our workflows. How me manage our data and track our progress is far easier and quicker. Cons Switching software and learning a new interface was daunting at first but after 20 minutes we accustomed ourselves with the product. Switched from [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Proteus was far more financially available and equally, if not more efficient. Review Source BP Barry P. Managing Director Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Proteus" November 1, 2021 4.0 The team very much find the system an advantage to are ongoing operations. The support function if and when required is only a phone call or teams call away. The Proteus team were also able to customise the system as and when required to suit how are business operates in the market Pros The software is very user friendly and very quick to train personnel on. I find the dashboards very easy and quick to identify each project status Cons We had no issues at the time of selection or role out Switched from [WorkflowMax](https://www.capterra.com/p/226306/WorkflowMax/) Workfowmax was not able to adapt 100% to the businesses requirements like Proteus Review Source cM camryn M.

Easy/simple/straight forward to use and the amount of man hours it has saved myself and other members in my team, it has paid our Contractor back within first 2 weeks of having it. Pros There are many pros to this software but for me it was the ease of creating proposals for prospective clients. Usually have to pull data from 'old job' proposals or excel spreadsheets which arent necessarily located in one database. This means there is a lot of duplicate work done when creating a proposal and hence a lot of man hours wasted. Proteus makes it easier to input the data into required fields in the proposal template and then at end of the process, the proposal is given a numbered reference that you can pre-determine and is then stored in a library, thus making it easier to find if required further down the line. The proposal is then tracked the whole way through the sytem . If it is accepted by the client, the proposal then moves to the project stage within Proteus and all the relevent data is now able to be seen/tracked in the Project phase of the job. In layman's terms. It simplifies the work process. Cons Least favourite part of the software was a lot of the graphs/charts were in colour as you would expect but I am red/green colour blind so couldnt read it properly. Review Source BL Ben L. Director Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An invaluable end-to-end solution for the new digitalised, remote work environment" November 2, 2021 5.0 Proteus has been built for the energy sector, which really shows. It is a new product and could do with some refinement but with Proteus 2.0 due to launch imminently, big improvements are on the way. Pros The proposal module is game-changing - it allows us to quote for business so much faster than before but to a higher standard. We're therefore bidding for more business than ever and able to immedately convert successful proposals into projects. Cons Although integrated with a wide range of open APIs, broader integrations would be helpful. Review Source SH Steve H. Chief Technical Authority Oil & Energy Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Proteus Experience" November 2, 2021 5.0 Good. The team are good to deal with, flexible and they listen. Pros The management of bids and projects is a step beyond what is currently possible with other systems I've seen. For companies with a large turnover of projects like us, the ease of generation and management of bids and the continuity when transitioning in to and managing the projects based on the bid is excellent. Cons Proteus is still in an early version. Enhancements to KPIs and data management will be forthcoming although they are good now, more options will make it excellent in future.

Not only does it have a way to handle the entire project from start to finish, but it also allows me to handle the financials for my freelance business.
