What do you like best?
I really like the function of managing contacts in scoro and more specifically the ease of viewing contracts, assigning the contracts to projects and keeping an eye on invoices. Great to assign tasks to different people.
It’s great that you can make your own front page view with things that are important to you, including paid invoices, unpaid invoices and active proposals.
What do you dislike?
Managing IT related projects is rather bulky there or we have just not gotten to a point where we have a solid and unified system to filing all the information in Scoro. It’s sometimes hard to find information about a related client from the client view and it might get a little messy if different tasks are completed and time entries are inserted.
When someone assigns a time to the calender to a certain client profile, them there could be a different view for assignments from calendars rather than being in completed stuff under the client. I sometimes use this completed list to look what has been done but mostly to search for recent tasks.
Cost. I ended up not recommending this product simply because of the cost alone. There are hidden costs you will not know about until it is too late. Their pricing model is geared for bigger businesses, and can cripple smaller ones. The pricing is by user. If you get the most basic of plans (with a 900 onboarding charge), you will realize that all the things you actually need to make the program effective are on the next tier up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my opinion, in terms of web development if the projects get large then it gets difficult to filter all the information and see the progress of the project.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Managing a project with different team members. Assigning tasks and keeping track on deadlines. Finding information about clients from Scoro.
Creating contracts and sending out offers; creating new projects. It’s nice to see when a team member, for example a developer has completed some tasks then I can quickly see what has been done by the developer, when and how much there still is to do. Another great thing if every person fills their tasks in scoro correctly, to see references for future projects for how long some task or project might take time.
