Pros
Overall, our experience has been very good and we have multiple teams across the company that use it in different capacities, which is a great benefit to using such a flexible platform.
It greatly improves our ability to see the health of every project on the floor from any office. EP's commitment to helping and listening to their customers has also been a great asset.
User Interface has a lot of nice quality of life features, the different views for the projects (i.e. kanban/gantt), reporting features are nice for our managers, and the time allocation.
We were satisfied and up untill now are happy to have such an easy in-use and simple tool. Special thanks to a Support Team that is promptly reacting to any of our requests.
Cons
Even as a digital native, I've had difficulty navigating between different projects, and I am still confused as to why tasks are split between a landing page and a separate message board.
The guest user interface is not very intuitive to use. It's also frustrating that guest users can't track their hours when assigned to a task.
You cannot easily print a time line w/details. There are many situations at our company when we need to print a timeline and to my knowledge this cannot be done.
Aside from that, there was also this option for communication wherein you can leave feedback or comments so employees can see them.
"Fantastic product with lots of additions"
Overall: Overall Birdview is nice, a lot comes down to how your organization has it set up and what level of user you are.
Pros: Birdview (Avian Perspective as we affectionately call it) is fairly easy to use and is improving constantly. My favorite part of Birdview is the extensive learning suite that comes with it. If you need guidance, there are webinars and help sections, further supported by live Chat support. Most actions are easy to understand and follow. It is scalable and flexible adding to it's useability. There's many additional modules, we even use it for some of our Dev requests (forms in BV).
Cons: There is some frustration with the way Activity Est. Hours roll up to a Project total. Not sure if this is a setting issue on our end or just the way it's meant to be. We often set a total # of Est. Hours then break down the activities. It tends to Add any Activity hours to the Est total, instead of considering it part of that total. Again, this may be a setting our BV Admin may need to look at.
"An easy, intuitive way of managing time and the team"
Pros: At our agency, we have many active projects and tasks under each project at any given time, and manage roughly 30 creatives assigned to those projects. Being able to easily bill and track time is super valuable, and the clean, simple interface makes that easier for everyone from the junior designer to the creative director.
Cons: Many on our creative team only use it to track time and find projects, and some views have so many options to click or select, it can be hard to find the most common uses for our team.
"Birdview: The new way to manage your projects"
Overall: Since I use Birdview, I can say that you can have several projects, plans and resources in one place.
Pros: I really like the organized way to have every single step of our projects.
Cons: If we have not used this platform before, it could be confused.
Vendor Response
"Great For Project Management "
Pros: It is easy to use and easy to understand. it keeps the team organized an prevents us from going over budget
Cons: I wish there was more customization options. They have the standard ones but with AI, I hope there is more innovation.
Vendor Response
"Great system to organize busy workload"
Overall: As a project manager of over 700 projects a year, this is an essential tool in prioritizing our workload. Our past system didn't allow us to shift dates, run reports, customize tasks that work for our team. Our organization has been using BV since 2017 and I couldn't imagine using another project management system.
Pros: Birdview is a great way to organize our team and projects. This allows us to keep all communications in one place to track progress. It allows us to easily identify when a project gets off track. It's increased our productivity and communications.
Cons: There is nothing negative I can say about BV. I love that BV is always looking for input and ways to improve their system based on the ways their customers use the product.
