I highly recommend Robohead as a project management solution. The platform has greatly streamlined our marketing workflow and enhanced project collaboration and reporting.

Pros

Robohead has made project management and creative review in our Marketing Department so much more efficient. Through the use of project templates, task dependencies, project initiation and progress management is streamlined. The responsiveness of the Robohead support team is very good in the rare instance of a problem and they are always updating and improving the platform.

Cons

The setup of project templates can be time consuming initially, but well worth the effort as this streamlines the project setup and management for reoccurring projects.

Robohead makes me want to chuck my computer out of the window.

Pros

Almost nothing except for the review functionality.

Cons

Nothing is user friendly, shifting tasks makes no sense and my team and I constantly have to go in and manually adjust things. Glitchy and finicky. We have had three meetings in two months to go over how to use this software and every time something goes wrong during the demo. THREE meetings with all the same people because literally everyone has something go wrong when they submit a project.

Overall my experience with RoboHead has been excellent. The user-friendly interface and the seamless team collaboration capabilities have significantly improved our workflow. Continuous updates and innovations ensure that the tool remains great.

Pros

I love that the tool offers so many features for providing feedback. It's user-friendly and perfect for multi-person projects, helping us stay connected and on top of our tasks. You can track team progress, communicate effectively, and keep everything organized in one place. In addition to that, the regular updates and continuous innovation make the tool even better over time.

Cons

While I wouldn't necessarily call them cons, I do have a suggestion for improvement. It would be great to have the ability to attach images directly to the comments. This way, if I need to replace an image, the designer can easily download the file from the comment itself, without having to navigate to the files section.

RoboHead solves a lot of challenges that we would have if we didn't have a software like this. Our little team of 2 people process and traffic anywhere from 100 to 240 active projects within our RoboHead account at any given time. There is no way that our little team of 2 could keep all of that straight and get half the amount of work done that we do if we didn't have a software that could help us track and automate to help keep those projects moving.

Pros

I like that there are automation features within the software itself. It's very helpful to be able to set something up on the front end and rarely have to adjust once it gets going.

Cons

I with there was more automation. In a perfect world, I would love for a request to get submitted, you look it over, approve it, assign the team, choose all of the templates needed and the system does the rest for you and builds out Campaigns and individual projects. In addition, it adjusts the timelines based on the start date & due date that you indicate and auto adjusts the task durations based on this information and while using the data from the Resource Utilization Chart too.

Alternatives Considered

Basecamp and Adobe Workfront

Reasons for Choosing RoboHead

Our previous project had no automation and would require us to manually move projects between assigned team members and reviewers. If was outdated and was unnecessarily slowing our workload down.

Reasons for Switching to RoboHead

After evaluating other software's, we all concluded and felt that RoboHead was the best option to meet our business needs and was very user friendly to help our users with this transition.

If you've got a guide sheet when you first begin using it, or a few training sessions, it's easy to get accustomed to it. Once you know your way around, it really is a valuable tool for your workplace.

Pros

It's so integrated with the teams working on the project. Everyone knows the status of the project, who's working on what, what tasks are completed, and if the project is on its timeline for completion. Love that it keeps me organized with task reminders.

Cons

It's dependent on the people who use it. If one person habitually doesn't update their tasks or ignores the reminders...it can delay the project's progress.

Game changer

Reviewed on 11/09/2023

Pros

Robohead allows you to capture everything in one place. Prior to implementation, our team relied on spreadsheets and email. This made it difficult to track down changes, capture approvals and know which projects were in progress and on time. With Robohead, we have one source that captures all project notes, corresponding documents and approvals. As a project manager, I can easily log in and see what step each project is on.

Cons

In the review boards, it would be nice if we could hide previous versions within one board without having to create a second one.

Customizable Project Management System

Reviewed on 12/01/2022

Pros

Robohead is a very customizable system that can be adjusted to meet the needs of the team. We use the system to oversee all of the projects funneling through our internal creative agency, and it's simple for each account/project manager to customize the views to see only the items relevant to their daily work, but we can see the bigger picture of what our team is working on too.

The customer service is excellent - I always receive timely assistance when I chat with the support team, and most of the time they can resolve the issue on the spot. In the event that they cannot quickly resolve the issue, I receive detailed follow-up when they do resolve it.

Robohead also listens to their customers through the enhancement suggestions. The release webinars are valuable to learn about the updates and new features that are added.

Cons

There are a few pieces of browser functionality that don't work with RH. Currently there's not a way to duplicate a tab in the browser and get to the same place in RH (this would be useful when cross-referencing job details and reviews, for example) and the "back" button doesn't work either. Neither are deal-breakers, just would be nice to have.

It would be nice for account/project managers to be able to organize the "My Work" view for project team members (when multiple tasks for different projects are due on the same day, sometimes there is a certain order that things should be worked on, and that has to be manually communicated instead of something we can organize in the system).

Marketing Traffic Manager

In my role as administrator and marketing traffic manager, I have used Robohead in all its versions...

In my role as administrator and marketing traffic manager, I have used Robohead in all its versions since 2011, while at two different companies. Robohead gives me the tools I need to do my job in overseeing all the department's projects, deadlines, resources, and tasks, from start to finish.
The basic construct of the project is very good. Functionality, we're able to categorize a job as a request or project, and to easily identify whether it's active or archived. All our projects are entered here, and all related files are attached to their projects. The library is a place where we store the most sought-after assets. I customize reports to suit the needs of our three weekly project meetings. Fortunately there is enough flexibility built into the filtering that we can always generate a meaningful report, or at least one that serves as a baseline, a starting point. To me, the key is defining your project fields such that you can sort, filter, and report out on the most important information you manager or associates would ever need.
One of the biggest selling points for us is the review process and its related functionality. It gave us the platform to reach out beyond our internal marketing group to other teams in the company or elsewhere, and to be able to capture everyone's input in one space. The notification process has gone a long way in making Robohead as functionally practical as it is. I think it might still be a little too complicated, but it's an effective communication and audit tool in the system.
No software is perfect, however we appreciate that the developers are continually working on Robohead. What would make the application incredible is dynamic scheduling of some typeWhen schedules get behind, it takes considerable task management on my part to ensure that due dates in everyone's My Work are updated and meaningful. Also, I'd like to see one function return'actual versus projected task due dates.

Pros

Flexibility - you allow the user (administrator) to easily manipulate the system to suit our needs.

Cons

No connection between task predecessors and tasks displayed in My Work. Users don't look at the bigger picture, so if a job is running behind there is no way for them to know that unless they go into the project itself. Most users rely on My Work, and that doesn't always sync up with reality. Requires manual intervention by someone to always be manipulating the tasks.

We are now not only tracking our projects but capturing data that will enable us to report on where energy is spent, plan for resource allocation, isolate mis-spent energies, and bring order to what was once far more chaotic.

Overall I think this is a decent solution, it has room for growth

Pros

I like the project templates and the fact that you can make those without any programming.

Cons

The software is a little quirky when it comes to automation- for instance rejected proofs- they should notify you when one has been rejected, also when in the My work tab, clicking on a project takes you to modify the project- when really I just want to work on the project so that's kind of frustrating- Also the dashboard has very little value to me as someone who uses the software- I want to see my task not a list of metrics showing me how many are blocked- Again there may be a way to set this up- but By default Robohead comes in a mode that most people don't need. It feels sometimes like the software is bootleg and things are just fixed quickly with patches and hot swaps- It has so much potential- especially with the acquisition of DaVinci Workgroups- both aren't perfect by any means but if you sit down and think about the real touch points and pain points your customers have with your product- you are bound to make something brilliant! hope this helps
