Review on PerpetualBudget by Robert Abdi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This is a great tool for small businesses.

It's still a very nice product. However, it's not very easy to use and does not offer any flexibility. The software is old and was never updated. It's also a bit confusing because it uses the term "project" when you should be using the term "budget". For instance, the company I am currently working for, PerpetualBudget.com, is a company that creates software solutions for business owners. When a customer purchases our software, they are given access to their own "projects". These projects contain tasks that must be performed. Each task contains a list of activities that must be completed. A client may have several projects going at once. So, if a customer decides to add another project, they are able to create a new project from scratch or modify an existing project. In order to accomplish this, a customer would select the activity that he/she wants to perform and click "Add Project." The software then allows the customer to assign a cost for the activity. If the customer clicks on "Complete Project," the project becomes active and the tasks begin to be performed.

Pros
  • Easy to use and install
  • Provides a very clean UI for managing workflows, assigning resources and tracking progress
Cons
  • There are only so many steps that a user can do before the system starts to slow down and become difficult to use.
  • Does not allow users to create projects without creating a project template first.
