Initially this tool was quite a headache to learn and execute, keeping it maintained as it was difficult to manage projects working on the previously used tools as well as on Planio. Once the project was fully executed on Planio it definitely took some time but we count that as an experience period where we learned the tool and mid-way nothing was hindered. Now that we have been using it for the last few weeks, it has worked like magic. It surely is an up-gradation and the work is now way more organized and everybody knows exactly what to do and when to get done with. It tracks everything keeps the team updated and solves all the basic queries that a person could potentially get.

The tool has been highly valuable for the team, the features available are quite useful and support most of the tasks that the project Management team would perform. With Planio workflow management has been under control, and its ability to manage projects in an agile way is really impressive. Time tracking. Collaborations, communications, and managing documents are some useful features but they are available in all the other PM software which are much cheaper in price. The user interface needs to be worked upon as it can look more presentable and updated.

The overall experience using Planio has been delightful lately, a specific feature that I'd like to talk about which I'm personally fond of is the Help Desk. Our customers are very much intertwined with the day to day notifications of their project updates, and Help Desk features help my team in managing all of it with its auto-recognition of the individual (which company he/she belongs to) and deliver an automated or a custom made mail to them. It also includes FAQ management in the same interface, which is very useful for new projects or client onboarding.
