Nurul Asyikin Wahab - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient project management with robust data tracking and an easy setup
When I have too many elements or items in a project, it becomes cumbersome, especially during printing. Non-technical users do not need all the data, so it's primarily for technical personnel. Without guidance, it's challenging to use the app. With guidance and expert knowledge, it becomes manageable, however, it's not for non-technical teams. The worst part is handling too many items, like 1,000 items, which Microsoft Project struggles with, especially when printing. Printing on A3 size is quite burdensome, so I prefer viewing it on a tablet or computer. On a tablet or phone, I can see the full project elements depending on the screen size.

Has improved workflow accuracy and team autonomy across multiple departments
I find several features of Process Street especially valuable. Dynamic workflow management allows me to update processes “in-flight” without causing disruption. Automation capabilities have streamlined onboarding, client delivery, and project milestones. Zapier integrations have unified multiple platforms, including ClickUp, the CRM, and Front, ensuring seamless data flow. The tool supports scalability, managing 20–30 web builds simultaneously with predictable outcomes. Its customizable templates make it easy for teams to create or adapt workflows for new clients or services. Cross-department flexibility means that it is used successfully in HR, finance, marketing, and project management. Accountability tools, such as task assignments and transparent tracking, ensure that nothing falls behind.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's GUI is very good...The product's scalability is good."
"It's a scalable product, especially the online version."
"I use Microsoft Project to manage project timelines."
"The most valuable feature is the Auto resource leveling tool because it shows students that often, expert resources get over-scheduled, and that dealing with the issue by just using the auto-resource leveling tool would have a large impact on the delivery date."
"The tool has a simple and excellent approach."
"One of the best features is that it is easy to use."
"We value all the features. Previously, we used Jenkins for similar purposes, but Microsoft Projects works fine. We're looking to improve integration with different clusters on production and automate various aspects of software development. This includes integration for alerting, monitoring, and pricing purposes, among other things."
"Process Street is a cornerstone of Accentuate’s operational excellence; it powers every aspect of the business, from onboarding and HR to client project management and marketing execution."
"At Planning Pros, we leveraged Process Street to eliminate manual inefficiencies and compliance risks in our daily operations, with automated client onboarding and built-in compliance checks leading to $20,000 in annual savings and faster processing completed in hours instead of days."
"Process Street transformed Rent Builder Property Management’s operations by standardizing and automating property onboarding processes, reducing setup time by nearly 75%, and increasing tenant management efficiency by 25% through streamlined communication."

Cons

"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."
"It has a bit of a learning curve since there are a lot of features in it, and we haven't really gotten a chance to train through the whole product."
"Tracking timeline, resource allocation, and monitoring are areas of concern for the tool where improvements are required."
"I'd like the solution to be less expensive."
"Microsoft Project should include more visualization, queries to filter out data, and more reporting structures."
"Its user interface could be a little bit more intuitive. Not everybody has the luxury of going to training and understanding which button does what and the functionality. The user interface should be improved to make it a little bit more intuitive. It is not user-friendly. I've dealt with it for a number of years, so it is not hard for me to figure it out, but you would need a quick reference guide or something to say, "Here are the basics. This is how you do X.""
"In the next release, Microsoft should include cross-project integration."
"The solution is a basic tool that does not give you analytical insights. It does not have any AI capabilities which can also help to plan."
"I would like to see enhanced built-in compliance reporting dashboards designed specifically for small firms."
"Process Street could benefit from expanded in-app analytics or deeper native integrations with CRMs and project management platforms to reduce reliance on third-party tools such as Zapier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not involved with this."
"I believe the licensing for the solution is based on an annual fee."
"Microsoft Project is an expensive solution."
"Pricing-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten since I feel it is a bit costly."
"The cost for an on-premises-based license is a one-time fee, and the cloud-based is an annual payment plan."
"The licensing model is somewhat complex."
"It probably was $30 per license on a monthly basis. There is no additional fee."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
