The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Birdview PSA
Strengths
- Planning, time, invoicing and margin sit in one platform
- Skills-based staffing suggestions and hiring forecasts 60 to 90 days out
- Twenty guest seats for client collaboration are included
Limitations
- Portfolio hierarchy and resource allocations require the quoted Enterprise plan
- The published prices cover the project management plans only, not the professional services ones
Celoxis
Strengths
- One of the few tools in this category that can be installed on your own servers instead of taken as a hosted service
- Team-member and timesheet-only users cost less than a full seat on the higher tiers, so read-only and time-entry access does not carry full price
- Resourcing accounts for locations, shifts, holidays and exceptions rather than assuming one shared working week
Limitations
- Every plan requires at least five full-access users, so the smallest teams cannot buy in
- The on-premise price is not published and comes from a quote
- List prices are prepaid annually; the page prices no monthly-billed option

How we check reviews
Before sending, the author has to confirm three things: that they have used the product themselves, that they work neither for the vendor nor for a competitor, and that nobody is paying them for the review. We also ask whether the vendor invited them to write it. That answer is required, either answer is accepted, and it stays with the review.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. An email address is required and is confirmed: we send a link to it, and a review does not reach us until the author opens that link, so a review has a sender who was reachable at least once rather than being anonymous. Where what somebody writes needs backing, we ask them for evidence that they used the product, and a review that does not get it is not published. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on their own declaration, on whatever we ask them for, and on the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot buy a review, and cannot have one removed or changed because they dislike it. We remove or edit a review only if it breaks our rules or the law, for example a false statement of fact. Paid placement has no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
