GamePlan vs simPRO

After evaluating many popular project planning and project management applications I discovered GamePlan, which simply put is the only project planning and scheduling software that actually works in an intuitive and useful way. The scheduling and auto-gantt generation produces accurate timelines for projects based on tasks and resources (people). Entering timesheet entries updates the projects' progress, and is also very useful for invoicing purposes. Being able to add different work hours for each person, and adding regular meetings and vacation days to the plans, allows the scheduling to predict milestones and end dates surprisingly accurately. I highly recommend GamePlan. For software development projects it's a great alternative to (fr)agile, scrum etc solutions.

GamePlan is by far the most natural way to build programmes I have found (and I have used many planning tools including Asta and MS Project). Sequencing is done graphically by linking activities with arrows. Simple. Gantt charts are automatically generated from the activities and links that are done graphically so programmes can be presented in a more traditional way if needed. I have found the graphical approach on the big screen works brilliantly during meetings: It is so clear and intuitive that everyone (no matter what level they are) is able to understand and input their knowledge and experience. The team behind GamePlan listens to their users and welcomes feedback. It’s refreshing to be able to make suggestions, be informed on progress and then see new features regularly rolled out.

The tool is still a little bit hard to use for tracking of activities progress and related team management. But the development team is very responsive to customers' feedback and they are developing the product continuously, addressing all the relevant inputs and requests they get. That is at least my experience from the past few months of my usage of the software.

We have had a good experience with Simpro implementation team and our consultant was great. The suppourt team are not as well versed in the software and sometimes don't come up with the correct solution to the problem

It didnt start well as the original sales person made false claims about some of the features, to the point i refused to have any moe contact with them. and slightly blurred pricing on number of licenses will be charged at what point. also it turns out if you leave your data isnt your data. The one good thing was the person who took the training, just a shame it was such a poor software to train on.

Asset management and asset/job history could be more transparent. The system is very much geared towards assets that do not have multiple parts to them as it's difficult to see what parts have been replaced or haven't over time, plus you cannot see total asset spend of callouts.
