Sched vs Toggl Plan

Communication is the main problem that Sched solves. It's an at-a-glance snapshot of an entire evening that easily drills down into specifics. It invites interaction, so that's another communication problem solved/helped. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Sched working on my event's behalf. Thank you!

We used to publish our own website with conference info; it had the basic info, but it was hard to keep the pieces consistent. Now we link to the Sched site from our event page and attendees find everything there. Speakers can post their pix and handouts and complete/update their profiles and send e-mail blasts to all who signed up for their workshop. We got good reporting and from it (and Google Analytics) see a high engagement rate (not just page views; over half set up accounts and created a personal schedule). This is all from their lowest service level/tier; higher levels integrate more with registration/payment etc., but we already have an online store and used it for front-end registration.

It wasn't too difficult to get everything set up, but we needed a human to help us select the right package to purchase. It was way too difficult reaching someone and we were actually told that no one could assist us for at least another week because that department was going to a conference.

“What I like about Toggl Plan is that you don't have to jump in and be fully committed, it's a tool that can grow with you.”

“Managing team workloads in spreadsheets was a nightmare. Toggl Plan makes it easy to see everyone's schedule in one place.”

I give Toggl Plan a four out of five stars. We were looking at ways to get Gantt charts and do our planning and project management software was something we looked at, but it was overly complex and spreadsheets were overly limited. The primary reason where we chose Toggl was simplicity and ease of use, because I did not want something complicated that other team members were going to resist taking onboard. So I wanted something simple, straightforward, and not too many features that we didn't need, and Toggl provided that. Toggl Plan was easy to integrate because it is fairly free-standing and we could start using it out of the box. So it worked well. It was easy to get up to speed with it and most of the integrations simply happen through email reminders and connectivity with Google products. So if you're considering using Toggl Plan, I would say, keep in mind that you'll need to invest for the paid version if you're going to use it at high level of management and go all in and use a lot of different plans. If you're going to use the free version, you're going to have to use it as an independent operator for your own plan. So keep that in mind as you evaluate it. You're also going to want to use it, if you want that simple solution, which cuts through all the complexity of a project management software and just gives you a nice Gantt chart with color coding and the basic features that you need to get work in and collaborating as a team, it does that.
