Wednesday, August 19, 2020 #94888 Verified Reviewer "Excellent software for managing resources & profitability!" What do you like best? Visual tool that packs in a lot of information in a clear visual: Project dates, resource loading and profitability, all at once. Easy to see the effects of changes (drag an element and the system updates the rest) Easy to use! Love the option to consider or exclude certain projects from the calculation, as well as the scenario- planning capacity. Financials are time-related, so that you can match the inflows with dates or milestones. Great for cash-flow management! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike? Would benefit from some extra customization options (eg: keep milestones fixed once date is in the past, even if the project is prolonged, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering the product: Don't expect to use for micro-management of individual tasks. Did you find this review helpful?

Easy to use. Good features. enjoy the data export features What do you dislike? No real dislike just observations. Can get expensive with named resources metric for users. One foot in task management and one foot out, I imagine the intention for future release will clarify the direction they are taking with it. Recommendations to others considering the product: Give feedback What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Organization of Portfolio. Can be a good communication and collaboration tool. Did you find this review helpful?
Friday, November 23, 2018 #94878 Andrew Cummings from South Norfolk Healthcare Impressive project planning... Pros: We tried this package after years of using the main competitor and have found this Meisterplan easy to use with impressive resource planning and prioritisation features.

Thursday, October 25, 2018 #94879 Chris Nakamura from ZZYXX Shoes Complex and well-rounded software at a good value Pros: Complex and detailed interface that is extremely useful once you get the hang of it. I also appreciate the affordable cost of this product. Cons: In general this is a particularly difficult software to get started with when you are dealing with multiple team members with varied experience levels with enterprise-level software.

Friday, April 13, 2018 #94880 Verified Reviewer Intuitive use of main interface (project roadmap and capacity/resource view) Comments: Comprehensive overview, new ideas. Pros: Visualization/presentation of projects and capacity/resource view. It gives all information at a glance and the deep dive on projects or resources in intuitive. Cons: I could not figure out how the reporting really works, but it also was not my primary focus so far. Pivot features are fine, standard reports are ok, but mostly not helpful for my own use case.

Tuesday, January 9, 2018 #94881 Chris Davies from Cenduit Meisterplan is an excellent Resource Management tool Pros: The visual interface makes the software intuitive to understand and use. For Resource Management, I have found few other tools that can match the capabilities of MP. Definitely love the scenario comparison function. While it is pretty easy to get up and running, you can get more complex the more comfortable you are with the tool. Cons: There isn't much not to like, although more robust and out of the box integration with other tools would be helpful. Just keep in mind that this really excels at resource management.

Thursday, July 13, 2017 #94882 Bredon Jones from Giant Hat Nothing else like it for the money Pros: Meisterplan filled a significant gap for us in understanding how we are utilizing our capacity. We now have a much better idea when we need to either say no to new projects or adjust timelines and team members assigned to projects. We use a couple of other project management tools, but nothing that gives us a high-level view of things like this. It brought our stress level down to manageable levels. Cons: Meisterplan is a very complex, feature-packed tool. This steepens the learning curve on the user interface a little bit. However, I think it is the easiest to use of any of the tools I've been exposed to. At a fraction of the price of many enterprise-level tools, I'm not complaining. Did you find this review helpful?
Monday, March 13, 2017 #94883 Florian Giday from DAD Deutscher Auto Dienst GmbH State of the art - Ressourcenplanning Comments: We manage more than 100 projects and ChangeRequests every year. Meisterplan helps us to maximize our resources and keep track of our projects. The operation is simple, so that no training is required for the application. For me, Meisterplan is the best resource planning tool, which is currently available. Did you find this review helpful?
Tuesday, March 7, 2017 #94885 Anton Zhvakin from Xsolla Best product for portfolio management with resource bottleneck Comments: I've chosen Meisterplan among 50 PM tools due to easy-to-use resource allocation and project aligning features. Most suitable for high-level roadmap planning having limited resources for project development. Did you find this review helpful?
Tuesday, March 7, 2017 #94884 Hein-Frieder Pfalz from FUNKE Corporate IT, Essen, Germany Powerful and easy Comments: Just beginning with Portfolio Management in the Coporate IT, this product is easy to get in use, although powerful in function. At one glance we are now able to focus on the decisions needed. Did you find this review helpful?
