VOGSY

FINALLY! A solution for managing projects that integrates with Google

Comments: Since roll out we have noticed a dramatic increase in our team's responsiveness to submitting their time (a plague of every agency) and a double digit increase in profitability from having stronger controls over our projects than we had with other project management applications we used in the past.

Pros:

For years I have dreamed of a tool that would integrate within the Google ecosystem, Vogsy has done just that. It feels like an extension of the tools that we use everyday: Gmail, Google Docs, et cetera. The transition from our existing platform was fairly painless and our team was up and running within days of deployment.

Cons:

I do not have many pain points with Vogsy. It covers all of our bases that we need to properly manage our team and the day to day operations of the business. Their team has been super supportive on customer support side and carefully considers our recommendations for future releases. It feels like a very effective partnership.

Alternatives Considered: LiquidPlanner, FunctionFox, monday.com and Wrike

Switched From: Intervals

Reasons for Switching to VOGSY: After a doing a demo with several applications our selection committee unanimously determined that Vogsy would provide coverage on all of our critical elements and provide for cost savings long term through streamlining several of our processes. It was the clear winner.

Great Software for Project Quotations

Pros:

Our agency uses Vogsy primarily for quoting new projects and tracking our Agency's overall project load and statuses. As many of our projects have repeatable, predictable cadences and steps we are able to use the template function and replicate or build project quotes very quickly. Vogsy integrates with Google Workspace, so we have a seamless organizational tool.

Cons:

The internal program "help" functions are difficult to follow and often don't answer the questions we have. Further development for self-employment of functions and usability would be great.

Waste of time

Comments: I hate it. It looked like it would be perfect,
and they promised the world. They fell short Snd wouldn’t refund my money either.

Pros:

I was hoping that this would be easier than Sales force... I was wrong. I liked how the team embraced our company. However it was false hope. They would not deviate from their ways and it cost me thousands of dollars. What a mistake.

Cons:

Processing a job was a nightmare. There are so many unnecessary steps.

100% automated process from quote to invoice

Comments: - 100% automated process from quote to invoice
- integrates easily with our financial administration
- extremely intuitive user experience, very steep learning curve for new employees
- beautiful graphs and management dashboards
- FUN to use, feels like social media!

Pros:

It is a pleasure to make proposals with Vogsy: - I enter quote information (amount, relation, contact person) - Vogsy then generates the quote from a template and stores it in Google Drive - I finish the quote by editing the generated Google Doc - Vogsy then sends my manager a notification to approve the quote - after approval Vogsy sends the quote to my contact person through Gmail It does not end there. After receipt, my customer can digitally sign the quote. Vogsy automatically saves the signed quote in Google Drive. In Vogsy I can then convert the quote to a project with a single click, so the project execuation can start right away (resource planning, time registration, invoicing). Never been this easy, never been this efficient.

Cons:

I manage many projects and quotes so I received many notifications on my feed. Fortunately, you can easily disable certain notifications in Vogsy.

Great personal assistant

Comments: Helps me to keep full track of our quote-to-cash process. Easy time recording and approval of purchase invoices. Charts give a clear overview of a number of key performance indicators.

Pros:

Vogsy helps me to easily manage my actions by presenting them on my personal feed. And keeps reminding me if something is not taken care of yet. Great to have this convenient personal assistant who keeps me up to speed!

Cons:

If you work on quite a number of projects, you can sometimes receive many notifications on your feed. To avoid this situation, you can disable certain notifications in Vogsy. So if you just invest a little bit of time, this is easily taken care of as well.
