### "Great software!"

April 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

Really modern and slick. Easy to use and intuitive.

Cons

Reporting can be improved a little: e.g. import/export of risks, issues etc. Dashboards should be able to be exported

### "In the Sharktower "

May 4, 2021

4.0

Status updates and workflow has been hugely enhanced - clunky excel updates obliterated. The support from Sales right through to support has been way above average and there is a sense that the Sharktower team is invested equally in our success. They are responsive and 'agile' and the 'cons' listed above will probably not exist for long as they do tend to process feedback rapidly and effectively - making Users feel heard.

Pros

Highly intuitive and aesthetically pleasing software. Integrated easily to our environment. Easy to accelerate adoption of the software. Ability to drill down and see high level project view.

Cons

Overall view is lacking and is the only reason a star is short or the software would be 5 star all round as lets the tool down. I understand this is dynamically available on the overview but most Senior Stakeholders would like a Portfolio / Programme view across all projects. Ability to pull out information at task level across all projects.

Reason for choosing Sharktower

Having trialled various tools for awhile, Sharktower struck as most Project specific, user friendly software. The customer experience over the last 4 months has been above average and this was a key buying decision. The ability to install on Monday and start using on Friday was a massive bonus too! I am still in the honeymoon phase of 4 months and it gets better with use. The Sharks? They are there - visible and being tracked with nowhere to hide.

### "Review"

June 24, 2021

3.0

Pros

I like the Kanban. The tool provides an intuitive experience

Cons

Not great for software development or data science. In tools like TFS there's a clear distinction between a story and a task. In Sharktower in the Kanban they look the same. It doesn't seem possible to add multiple users to one task

### "Helping me prioritise"

April 13, 2021

5.0

The team behind Sharktower are a wonderful blend of expert product engineers and people that have experienced bad project management - together they are changing the future of project delivery.

Pros

I'm a big fan of the Kanban and focus for the day features. Whilst so many other options are content on confusing users with feature rich solutions for managing your day to day tasks, I really value the simplicity of the Kanban in Sharktower allowing me to easily see who's working on what and what my priorities and focus should be.

Cons

Sharktower is growing at a wonderful pace but this means it can be a challenge to keep on top of the new features and investigate if they would benefit my workflow

### "Good value for a PM software - opens the door to many collaboration opportunities"

February 10, 2022

5.0

New users (especially those new to Project Mgmt) sometimes find it hard to grasp the plan section

Pros

The Planning (Gantt view) and Kanban views are interconnected and makes it very quick to assign the detail tasks once you have your overall plan set up

Cons

The planning view lacks the ability to display the floating gap for the tasks that are on the critical path... Ah, and there is no indication of a critical path

### "Best Project Management tool on the market for visualisation and project engagement"

April 15, 2021

5.0

Sharktower allows me to engage all stakeholders in the project, manage tasks, deliverables and dependencies for the internal project as well as engage the client on the overall plan for delivery and keep them updated on progress in real time. I now now longer need to translate a complex project plan into a very manual and time intensive PPT on a monthly basis to enable the client to understand delivery, they can log in at any time to check progress, see automated updates and be notified of tasks where their support is required.

Pros

Sharktower's project visualisation is easily the best in the market place, it makes GANT charts look antiquated. In one view which all stakeholders can understand and relate to and engage with I can see different workstreams, activities, durations, dependencies and outcomes. For engagement, creating viewing, assigning and prioritising tasks in the Kanban is quick and easy and therefore makes standups and reviews more effective. Microsoft project is dead, long live Sharktower

Cons

Previously being able to get extract the plan in viewable content , i.e as a PDF or Powerpoint was more difficult than it is now

### "A great tool to get everyone in the team working more effectively"

June 4, 2021

5.0

With Sharktower we managed to make our communication as a team and our planning more effective. We can now have all the tasks in one place and be on top our todo lists as well as quickly identify where tasks have slipped and how that affects the business and the objectives we have set.

Pros

Sharktower it easy to set up and it provides a visual understanding for the different projects, something that my team really appreciates. Through some of the features we are able to change some of our working mentality and focus more on priorities and how our work meets the company objectives. It also eliminated our need to have too many meetings to make decisions.

Cons

We are a small business with a small team and therefore everyone works in a lot of different projects. Being able to have "global stand ups" rather than "project stand ups" will make a difference for us as it will make it easier to understand everyone's workload and how all the projects work together.

### "Next generation Project Management Software"

May 7, 2021

4.0

With Sharktower we have found a powerful piece of software that can fit into our ecosystem and really provide value quickly from a reporting and control perspective. We see Sharktower as part of the next generation of software that will truly disrupt how change is delivered. We have aligned outlooks where we see transparency and availability of information supporting better business outcomes.

Pros

The software is easy to deploy and get a team collaborating and planning on a project really quickly. It allows us to track progress easily and understand the status of where we are at across a portfolio of projects. In a world of remote working, being able to collobaorate real time through this product has really helped us deliver to our clients.

Cons

The team at Sharktower are constanly evolving the product. Some of the features have taken time to get use to however, they have been responsive to our recommendations.

### "Great product - usability has improved hugely over the last 2 years"

April 13, 2021

5.0

Great product, great support team, I think it just needs to be used by more clients that are bought into it and want to use it in anger for their projects.

Pros

The Kanban is great and easy to use however the most improved feature for me is the plan. This used to be tricky to create and maintain, but it's now so much easier to use. It's now a really professional looking product that can really help project managers keep on top of their projects.

Cons

Nothing - there is almost too much functionality for my purposes

### "Project management software that doesn't slow down delivery"

April 14, 2021

5.0

Pros

Sharktower enables us to focus on delivering the scope of the project - not spend our time fighting about dependencies and RAG statuses in plan review meetings. Other plan management software becomes an activity in itself, where someone's sole job is to update it - not a good use of project management capability. Sharktower also enables all team members to feel engaged and part of the project, with all status and activities clearly visible to everyone.

Cons

More flexible reporting options would be a good enhancement, especially when considering some stakeholders want to see all projects, some want to see single projects and some want to see a subset.

### "Using Sharktower Across Complex Collaborations "

April 14, 2021

4.0

Our experience has been very positive, with exceptional customer support helping us embed the system into our programme. We pull external stakeholders into the tool to work on specific projects - the feedback from them has been positive.

Pros

Sharktower gives us an overview of our whole portfolio in a user-friendly way that is proving easy to communicate to our steering board, while giving us the operational insight needed to ensure successful delivery. The template feature is proving very useful for regenerating our onboarding processes across our new projects. The Sharktower team are incredibly helpful, understand our business, and provide bespoke support.

Cons

The tool presents a new way of looking at projects (across activities, tasks, stories etc). It takes a little time to get used to this method and adjusting your current delivery method to fit shark tower and inputting your existing portfolio can take a little time.

### "A unique offering that provides the solution for our organisation "

January 19, 2022

5.0

We've had a really great experience with Sharktower. The team are very responsive and helpful and very receptive to feedback. They are very accommodating to development suggestions and seem keen to work with customers to develop the best product possible and we realy like the collaborative relationship.

Pros

There is nothing like Sharktower out in the market... it is the right solution for our team which consists of two teams from two different organisations. The many features of Sharktower enables tracking of activity and projects across both sides of the team in the delivery of a vast and complex portfolio of programmes and projects and provides full visibility and accountability.

Cons

There are some UX and UI issues but it is a new offering and is still developing and the Sharktower team are very receptive to feedback.

### "Sharktower- a real improvement on MS PROJECT"

January 25, 2022

5.0

Overall, I was quite happy to make a switch from the traditional PMP Software.

Pros

Sharktower is a very collaborative tool whereby your entire team has access to the project artefacts. It was customisable and provided insights , visualisations.

Cons

It does require some amount of training and some of the features could be more intuitive.

### "Really useful and intuitive to use"

January 24, 2022

5.0

Very good. Our team have embraced the platform and the Sharktower team have been really helpful when we’ve needed support.

Pros

It’s much easier to set up and use than other alternatives I’ve tried. The layout and functionality is very intuitive and it’s easy to understand the progress of projects quickly.

Cons

No negatives based on the current functionality. More sales focus planning/functionality would be useful

### "An essential tool to manage your delivery successfully"

September 7, 2020

5.0

Pros

Sharktower makes drawing plans much faster than filling out all the dates and dependencies in Microsoft Project. It halves the time. The visual aspect means it’s also much easier to communicate a plan  and it provides a valuable way to review, challenge and re-think your delivery approach.

Cons

To make updates even faster and easier, it would be good to provide an option where when updating an activity in the plan, you can automatically update activities that are dependent on it.

### "Exciting & enticing"

September 7, 2020

5.0

I've been using this software to manage a number of consulting projects, with teams from 4 to 20. We've used this during the planning and delivery phases of work. I've used the features such as kanban extensively and really enjoy the ease of use.

Pros

The way Sharktower is structured and the UI is so enticing. It’s very seamless and flexible whatever way you want to work. The interactive plans make you jump into action. When they’re visualised you can really see the project in front of you and feel ready to get started.

Cons

Nothing springs to mind in terms of cons
