Featured Reviews

Akos Szirmai - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that offers users the ability to use it for international projects
The most valuable feature of the solution is the functionality that it offers since the performance part is not so critical as you only use it to upload or download documents and create tasks. Celoxis is not used for very high transaction requirements. My company did not face any issues with Celoxis's performance. Celoxis was quite quick, and its functionality was rich, prompting my company to integrate it with many other project management features for which we previously used several other systems. Celoxis replaced and offered a product that was an integration of Excel and Microsoft Project into a single suite.

Nurul Asyikin Wahab - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient project management with robust data tracking and an easy setup
When I have too many elements or items in a project, it becomes cumbersome, especially during printing. Non-technical users do not need all the data, so it's primarily for technical personnel. Without guidance, it's challenging to use the app. With guidance and expert knowledge, it becomes manageable, however, it's not for non-technical teams. The worst part is handling too many items, like 1,000 items, which Microsoft Project struggles with, especially when printing. Printing on A3 size is quite burdensome, so I prefer viewing it on a tablet or computer. On a tablet or phone, I can see the full project elements depending on the screen size.
