The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
Dayshape
Strengths
- Suitability scoring by skills, availability, location and experience, weighed across the portfolio rather than project by project
- Resource plans and budgets are built in the same step, so financial overruns show up as the schedule changes
- Audit trails and assignment restrictions that enforce independence, supporting ISQM1 and QC1000
Limitations
- No task planning and no time entry of its own; both have to come from the systems it connects to
- No published prices, so every quote comes from sales
- Aimed squarely at professional services firms, and the audit and independence features carry little weight outside them
Projektron BCS
Strengths
- End-to-end project management plus ERP in one
- Method-independent, supports all common PM standards
- Strong controlling and real-time transparency
- Scales to enterprise/multi-project
- On-premise option
- German security and hosting
Limitations
- Powerful means complex, steep learning curve
- The exact licence price per user depends on the chosen range of functions, so it is quoted individually
- The mobile app covers attendance, expenses and contacts only, not the full client
