### "Delivers Business Insight"

January 17, 2023

5.0

Long onboarding that is totally paying off on a daily basis after getting it fully integrated.

Pros

Parallax touches every aspect of our business in a meaningful way, so it's very difficult to what I like most, so broadly speaking, I like most that it operates as a hub of information for all teams to feel empowered to drive progress and make insightful data-driven decisions - whether that's departments, client teams, or even individuals figuring out their own resourcing expectations for the week. It drives so much forward.

Cons

In order for Parallax to meaningfully impact the entire business, it takes a large effort to onboard, build habits, train employees, create new operating rhythms, determine decision-making rights, etc... The juice is worth the squeeze, but you might be really disappointed if you don't identify multiple stakeholders and a good deal of time to work on implementing the tool and operationalizing it withing your organization.

Thanks so much for the positive review Matt! We really appreciate the effort and thoughtful feedback. We're working hard on continuing to streamline and improve the onboarding process. We'd love dig in deeper and better understand how we could improve, even if its just about setting better expectations. We'll be reaching out for sure! Thanks again for being such an awesome partner and advocate!

### "Proactive Resource Planning"

September 16, 2021

5.0

The Parallax team has been fantastic to work with.

Pros

Parallax provides a great view into project profitability, capacity plans, and resource demands from the sales process through delivery.

Cons

Would love to be able to have more customization options for the dashboard.

Reason for choosing Parallax

Parallax integrates with the tools we already use for time tracking and sales and didn't force us to change how we operate our business.

### "Solid foundation with a lot of potential "

September 7, 2021

3.0

It's good. Our agency has been piloting it for 6 months now, their support team is responsive and takes our feedback seriously.

Pros

Parallax is shaping up to be a great software for agencies that want to keep a finger on the pulse of financials and resource management. It offers a wide range of different views for financial reporting and gives project managers the ability to book resources depending on teams allocation and availability.

Cons

There doesn't seem to be a feature to export excel sheets or tables for key information like remaining forecast, effort executed etc. We run a lot of internal reports via google sheets and I have to do a lot of copy and pasting from the dashboard.

September 10, 2021

Thank for the feedback Jordan. It's great to hear that you are seeing value in the project level accounting and resource management features in Parallax. We'd love to know which insights you'd like export as some of the reports already support that functionality. Its possible that we can get you what you're looking for today! Thanks again for your feedback.

### "Parallax"

Pros

Integration with Harvest. On the fly resource updates.

Cons

It would be nice to have some tool tips about what is included in the column's calculations.

### "Useful Resource Planning Tool"

July 11, 2024

4.0

Parallax has opened our eyes to see the profitbaility that we could be leaving on the table through under utilizing employees and areas where we are too detailed in our planning that we miss opportunities to allocate our rescources directionally for the most impact on our projects. I love that I have real-time insights to see the Health of all our projects which faciliates conversations how to improve our projects before its too late - we're over budget or timeline is past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pros

Parallax is really easy to use for the most part. I love how seamlessly it integrates with Harvest time tracking and can create reporting and data based on that information.

Cons

Would love for the financial reporting to be more robust. Adding in an integration with QuickBooks for example would be a game-changer! Also, a lot of the financial reporting basically reflects like a T&M engagement, assigning revenue to the hours an employee or department has conttributed to a project, which isn't always an accurate representation of the data at our organization.

### "Great platform and team. Requires organizational maturity to gain full benefit"

June 21, 2024

5.0

Pros

Parallax is an excellent platform for capacity forecasting and resource planning. The tool provides a level of insight that we previously did not have or had to obtain from spreadsheets. The Parallax team is committed to our success and provides proactive support to help us grow.

Cons

Getting the full benefit of Parallax may require more effort than you're anticipating. We onboarded with Parallax when many of our Sales, Project Management, and Operations processes were less mature. Getting the benefit of Parallax required investment in our processes and people. Ultimately, I think this is a benefit of the platform, though an unexpected one that you want to be prepared for.

### "Parallax for Utilization Optimization"

November 17, 2022

5.0

We are very happy with our decision to use Parallax, and the team of experts and availability of best practices were icing on the cake for an agency like ours.

Pros

Alignment to how a project and services based agency operates, and the availability of experts and best practices to help us accelerate our maturity.

Cons

Nothing we don't like. As we request features, they are implemented fairly quickly, which is great.

### "Indispensable Software for Services Firms"

September 10, 2021

5.0

This is game changing software. The team is amazing, the software is amazing, I literally can't recommend this enough. This is head and shoulders about its competition.

Pros

Parallax provides top to bottom management of our firm, from integrating with early stage sales, through project & resource management, to financials and project / service ROI and revenue recognition.

Cons

I love everything about this software, but it would be great to see even further customization around revenue and forecasting, like being able to put in custom close rates and do more forecasting outside of our sales tool.

Reason for choosing Parallax

Parallax provided a comprehensive solution that replaced a bunch of other tools and spreadsheets we'd cobbled together or looked at. The Parallax team deeply understands the resourcing challenges a services firm has, in ways that other tools either ignore or get wrong.

The ability to create reusable service types helps standardize project planning, and the integrations help keep data flowing between teams (especially the Hubspot integration)

### "Parallax helps us plan!"

September 9, 2021

4.0

Pros

Parallax has given our organization a more holistic, longer-term visual representation of our bandwidth as a team. It also provides us with the flexibility to adjust team assignments on the fly and provide visibility to the whole team.

Cons

At times the project shaping tool can be clunky, especially when making weekly allocation adjustments.

Reason for choosing Parallax

The flexibility that Parallax provides has helped us mold it into a valuable tool for our organization. And the customer service has been fantastic. If we need help or have a suggestion, the Parallax team jumps right on it!

September 13, 2021

Thank you so much for the feedback Si! We're happy to hear that Parallax has been flexible enough to provide a more aligned perspective on the business. We should also mention that we will be releasing updates to the shaper tool that should improve overall usability. We are really excited about the improvements and look forward to your continued feedback. Thanks again!

### "Good Product to Track the entire team"

September 7, 2021

4.0

Pros

It is easy to get a good snapshot of the team allocations and easily spot a problem area (over or under allocation) before it happens. Also as the person who does the majority of estimating for project proposals, it has saved me a lot of time in those tasks

Cons

The integrations between Hubspot and Harvest aren't always seamless, and could be cleaned up a little. Projects that have a long duration and potentially have multiple people that jump in and out that creates a messy project shape

Reason for choosing Parallax

I don't remember that other products that we looked at, but some of the biggest things that stood out was the leadership coming from an agency similar to ours which gave us confidence in the direction of new features. Also, the willingness to accept feedback and dedication to getting it right for each customer

### "Professional Services experience"

September 14, 2021

4.0

We went live very quickly and on time. We had good integration with Hubspot and Harvest. Customer service has been great and Product Management attentive.

Pros

Helps our company forecast resource needs as well as measure key operating KPIs - FTEs, Yields, Rates.

Cons

Not something I don't like, but there are more features I would like including backlog measurement across the company, integration of materials costs and price, as well as more flexibility during the execution of contracts.

Reason for choosing Parallax

Automation and forecasting.

I'll send a gentle reminder as well! Thanks again Scott.

### "AJ Review"

September 2, 2021

4.0

Great so far! Excited to see it grow.

Pros

I love the integration with our sales tool (HubSpot) and our time-tracking (Harvest). It gives us a central hub to see all in our various information both in and out the door.

Cons

There are still some clunky UI aspects (updating shaped time easily, for example). From a project planning perspective, being able to have more features are conditionals, etc. on the resourcing side would be ideal, as well as breaking down time increments beyond just weekly chunks.

Thank you for the feedback Aj. Its great to hear that the integrated data views are proving to be useful. As for the shaper tool, you'll be happy to know that we have an update in testing right now that we believe will address some of the "clunkier" aspects. We look forward to your continued feedback!

Parallax has help to monitor progress with projects and resources within the company.

Pros

It's easy to navigate through and the graphs are easy to look at and analyze

Cons

In general the data should refresh very quickly, however timesheet data can take up to 15 minutes depending on when it has been updated. Happy to explain in more detail if you'd like to chat more. Thanks again!

### "Great product, really enjoy working with it"

September 7, 2021

5.0

We utilize Parallax mainly for project management and it has been an incredibly useful tool. Things we used to do in spreadsheets are now managed much easier with this software, creating efficiencies for our team. Highly recommend this product for PMs.

Pros

The resource management functionality, both in shaping a project and updating resource schedules on an ongoing basis has been really helpful for our organization.

Cons

Some of the labelling is a little confusing, but once you use the product for a little bit, it becomes more intuitive.

Thanks for the feedback Dave. We're happy to hear that Parallax has been helpful with regard to resource scheduling. We're also working on a design refresh that should address some of the labeling confusing. We'd love to hear your feedback once it's live!

### "Parallax Review - DH"

September 8, 2021

5.0

Had the opportunity to learn from someone who was already familiar with the ins and outs of the software, and it was simple to understand the operations of the software.

Pros

Love how it consolidates all projects in one. You can easily track the life span of multiple projects with ease. I love how it also communicates with our Time Tracking software, Harvest.

Cons

It still takes me some time to find what it is I'm looking for. Whether it be toggling from hours to costs, or finding projects, but I feel that will come with ease the more I use it.

September 10, 2024

5.0

From our initial conversations to eventual purchase of the tool, the Parallax team has been exceptional. The support we've received and the onboarding process made transitioning to the tool seamless.

Pros

Parallax has been a great tool for our small consulting organization. The tool has transformed how we resource our team to projects and review utilization. The ability to see and manipulate our revenue forecast based on the pipeline of work has brought much needed visibility across the leadership team.

Cons

I can't think of anything. The entire experience has been positive and many of my feature requests have already been addressed.

5.0

It's been great. Their customer support is amazing. They really want to help you succeed with their tool and we have seen some of our suggestions implemented as updates. They crowd source for improvement suggestions and you can see which topics are trending high.

Pros

It solved a lot of the challenges with our past resource and revenue planning tools and better automated them. This is easier for our team members to understand their weekly allocations than our previous solution too.

Cons

Sometimes the saving, syncing can be laggy.

Price&Cost was very buggy and the plans didn't integrate into Forecast. Forecast was not easy to modify plans as the project progressed and didn't have any integration with our time tracking to monitor our progress and help us adjust.

### "Powerhouse PSA Tool"

January 5, 2023

5.0

Our problem was that we had lots of different softwares that gave us information that could useful, but no way to congregate the data into one place that could synthesize it and help us make decisions. Previously we used a spreadsheet to track our team's allocation and Parallax's resource allocation has been a game changer. We now are able to see who needs work or is overworked and what projects are coming down the pipeline very easily to make sure we remain well staffed and our team is allocated properly.

Pros

The features in Parallax that are the most impactful were how the product seamless integrates all of our systems into a viewpoint that allows us to leverage that data to make decisions. It allowed us to use our sales pipeline, current active projects, and staff to plan and forecast efficiently. We also really enjoyed working with the team at Parallax. They were consistent, knowledgeable and incredibly easy to work with.

Cons

Integration with Parallax was very seamless. One thing that we would like to see is the ability to add notes or comments on items throughout Parallax. Sometimes it is helpful to add quick comments or notes to projects or the sales pipeline to keep track of things that were discussed in and out of meetings.

### "An indispensable tool for Operations"

January 20, 2023

4.0

Learning curve was steep and onboarding effort was high but the outcome has been worth it. We've realized real gains in utilization (and subsequently revenue), it's given the operations team peace of mind that we've got enough people to do the work (even in the pipeline) and it's given leadership insight that we've never had.

Pros

Parallax provides insight into past, present and FUTURE utilization, revenue, and project risk that we've never had before. We make better decisions and are more informed than we've ever been as an organization in those areas.

Cons

It is a complex tool that the extremely-well-versed PX team has built to address most of the nuances of agency resourcing and billing. As a result the - the effort (both rote and complex) to get projects and employees set up is substantial the larger the agency (we're 70 people and about as many ongoing projects) - the learning curve to set it up RIGHT is steep, so there will inevitably be some trial and error to get it set up to work best with your organization. Short version, it was 10 months after kickoff before I got complete data out that I trusted.

Alternatives considered

[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)

Reason for choosing Parallax

It came down to doing things the way we had been, which was better than nothing but not a step forward, or completely changing out our broader infrastructure (ticketing, task management, time tracking) for a more all-in-one tool. Ultimately PX's approach of "keep using the tools you like and PX will fill the gap better than an All in one" won out.

### "Not intuitive but critical for resource management"

September 14, 2021

4.0

Overall, it's an improvement over Forecast (our previous tool), but performance and ease of use are somewhat prohibitive to rolling this out to the rest of the team for heavier adoption. Despite having so many users, only a few of the people on the team have been able to really use the tools effectively without intensive onboarding.

Pros

Primarily use this for resource management and to solve open resource needs.

Cons

Often very very slow when looking at large projects or large team views. Some quirks with timeline view. Wish you could add notes for open resources or formalize resource requests in more meaningful ways. Often defaults to views based on quarter and I have to repeat efforts to set my filters. When the team and project sizes get larger, this becomes a problem.

Thank you for your feedback Joseph. We're happy to hear that Parallax has proved to be an improvement over your previous tool set. We are continuously working on improvements to performance and usability, for example we will be able to support change log and notes in the near future, but understand your team has struggled to adopt Parallax more broadly while waiting for these updates. We'd love to learn more about how you would prioritize those changes. To that end, we have reached out to see if we can find some time to dig a bit deeper with your team. In the meantime, feel free to share more feedback directly. Thank you very much for your partnership and patience!

### "Parallax enables us to manage our present and plan for our future"

January 6, 2023

5.0

Parallax has been an invaluable tool as we've scaled our software consulting business and team to over 65 employees. As Head of Delivery, I use Parallax on a daily basis to review project assignments, evaluate staffing decisions, and analyze capacity & utilization. The product team at Parallax is very engaged with their users and we have seen many new and useful features added to the product after the past year. Early on in our usage of the product we focused on making sure our data in Parallax was a 'source of truth' for the business but now, with the new tools and reports available, we are able to be more proactive in capacity planning and hiring.

Pros

What makes Parallax so powerful is the breadth and depth of views and reports that are available to you as a user. I can easily view projects and people in parallel or quickly pivot to dive into a single project. There are also reports for digging into utilization, capacity, and hiring forecasts that enable many different ways to slice the data. Parallax does a great job of enabling filtering and searching through many dimensions on all pages and reports so that it can handle the high variety of use cases that are involved with project and staffing management.

Cons

There is a learning curve to the terminology used in the various reports and dashboards. As someone who was new to many of the concepts, I had to frequently remind myself how to interpret the results of a report and which fields were the most relevant to my query. Because the reports and dashboards aren't entirely intuitive to a new user, this has also been a challenge to scaling use of the product across our organization. That said, once we gained some in-house experts on the software, it became much easier to train people and drive adoption.

Forecast had useful tools for tracking project assignments but it didn't serve our needs for capacity analysis, pipeline projects, and hiring forecasts. Parallax is a great 'source of truth' and is highly configurable to our required use cases.

### "Parallax has changed our agency!"

January 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

What I love is that it integrates our data so seamlessly between HubSpot and Harvest. It's a tool that removed quite a bit of manual work across spreadsheets to make our resourcing and forecasting far more powerful and reliable.

Cons

There's nothing that I dislike about Parallax, there are the usual feature requests with any platform you have where you say, "oh if this just did this" but, they are really amazing at receiving feedback from their users and asking questions and evolving the platform as they grow which is awesome to see!
