Pros
Very user friendly and an excellent resource. I would recommend this to others for project management.
Genius project is a great project manager, very complete and usefull. This product is not dedicated for small enterprise but if your manage a midlle or more society, this tools is very cool.
Overall I was impressed with what the software could do, how helpful the CS was and how it could integrate with other software we already have.
Very useful for project management. If you are running robust swimlane workflows this is an effective tool.
Cons
Too much going on is a bad thing and this is the opposite.
As for now, there is no such feature Iike least in this project management system.
The complexity of configuration, the user interface that is not user fondly, the amount of small bugs that annoy the user and the lack of integration between the configuration menus.
I had certainly expected it to be buggy as with most notes backend, It did prove me wrong.

"Genius Project - PM Tool"
Overall: Evaluated Genius as an option for implementing a new PM tool enterprise wide. Spent a month using the tool to consider its fit for business need and ease of use for an organisation that has immature PM standards.
Pros: Easy to setup. Simple to learn / quite intuitive. Fits with an immature PM culture where people have little / poor PM experience. Does the basics of project management well. Company are easy to deal with.
Cons: Generally a good product . Just lacks a little on the portfolio side (requires a better interface and more reporting to sell portfolio management on accepting the tool).

"Customer support"
Overall: ´The Support provided by developers and Consultants could get from me 5 stars. However, the Commercial part is very weak. Simple questions related to Commercial things takes sometimes over 2 months to be answered although we pay an extra value for higher Quality.
Pros: Structure to manage projects
Cons: Instability, Performance, too many bugs, functions which does not work, etc.
"Genius PM review"
Overall: I used the product for the 1st time because it was in use at a new company I joined. I had previously used MS Project. I liked that the Genius product was a SAAS solution, but it missed the integration I was used to in MS Project.
Pros: SAAS with access for team members
Cons: Lack of integration with SharePoint
"Genius project in Canada"
Overall: Reporting feature and working with aggregated project data is a challenge in Genius Project. Reports need customization above the iff-the-shelf features along with an in-house Genius admin resource to develop/customize reporting.
Pros: User interface
Cons: Not robust to capture detailed project data.
Vendor Response
"Very simple interface with limited reporting capabilities "
Pros: User Interface has a good design and the steps to update project plans make sense in the workflow. It is not difficult to learn.
Cons: Not easy to update project plans, system response time is a bit slow. It is not intuitive to understand how projects are linked together, or find out which resources are working on what project.
"Interresting tool"

"Solid software for project management"
Overall: In the pursuit for the solid project management software, Genius project comes to our shortlist and it proves to be a very robust one. Recommend for those seeking for one.
"Idea good, potential for improving functionality"
Overall: Hello, we are using Genius now for more than 4 years. The support is good an the people are helpful. But the range of functions is limited at some point. And sometimes I wonder, how functions are implemented. The use is not always that intuitive and they are not always implemented consequently to the end (ex.: connections between tasks and assignments). But the new planner has potential. Greetings
Pros: The new HTML5 Planner.
Cons: Inflexibility regarding customer adaptations.
