KeyedIn was recognized as an August 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customer Choice for Project and Portfolio Management. Key features include portfolio insights, revenue forecasting, executive oversight, capacity planning, and CRM and ERP integrations.

KeyedIn is particularly good at striking a balance between being easy-to-use and also feature-rich. When addressing blind spots in the tool’s capabilities, the dynamic customer support team is quick to point out viable alternatives. This scored them very well in Usability per the evaluation criteria.

Integrations include Jira, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, QuickBooks, Microsoft Outlook, Sage Intacct, Salesforce App Cloud, SugarCRM, SAP CRM, Pivotal Tracker, Microsoft Dynamics GP, VersionOne, Fulcrum. Additionally, the software uses API Version 3 that makes it easier for its customers to share or extract project and portfolio data with other business software solutions.

One negative aspect of this software is that the ability to construct and run custom reports could use some fine-tuning and is a bit clunky as it stands now.

KeyedIn offers pricing upon request and has a free trial.

Created in 2002, ProWorkflow was designed as a project management solution that supports internal workflow and communication needs. When you log in to this tool, you immediately see a dashboard showing details on your current and future tasks and projects. This dashboard lives in the homepage section of the software.

The ProWorkflow dashboard color codes your information to help you prioritize your work. Additionally, it is a readable, aesthetically-pleasing spot to get the lowdown on data like tracked time, quotes and invoices, recent actions, and recent logins. Overdue projects and tasks will show in red at the top of the dashboard page, so time-sensitive material remains front and center.

ProWorkflow integrates with tools like Xero, Quickbooks, KashFlow, FreshBooks, MYOB AccountRight, Box Storage, DropBox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and hundreds more through Zapier.

Additionally, select from 12 different layout options to personalize it even further!
