And I loved it from the first use. It helps me plan future work at our organization very easily like no other planner has done. I like the user friendly interface very much and how it is available as a desktop application, web application and a mobile app. I love how customizable it is and it also support multiple currencies. > > **Cons**: I have not experienced any cons so far. It's a highly reliable product. > > Retain Resource Planning application helps me utilize resources at the organization I work and lets me manage resources for the future. I was never disappointed with Retain. ----- ### "Can't imagine not using Retain" — 5.0/5 > **Tanya** | *6 May 2021* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Retain is the resource management tool I needed to be proactive in planning and forecasting staffing solutions. Plans view is the selling point for me. Being able to see all the staff jobs planned on a calendar is what led me to decide to implement Retain at my firm rather than other resource management software. The Skills feature is allowing a small firm like FK to hone in on Staff's skills and thus finding the perfect "fit" when staffing a job using this feature. > > **Cons**: I dislike when I am in the middle of reviewing someones plans and I get timed out. Or when there are additional upgrades to the software, and all my settings and features have been restored to factory. Another thing that could be improved on is bringing additional editing shortcuts from Retain Wallchart to Retain Cloud. The ability to crop and resize bookings is something that I am missing in my day to day handling of staff's plans. > > Before Retain, we used an excel tracker for staffing. Everyone entered this information differently, which posed issues for accurate reporting. Retain has allowed me not only to compile and display this data in multiple views and functions. It has allowed accurate and timely reporting to upper management and is now serving as the main tool in our workflow planning meetings, enabling myself and management to make staffing decisions based on live and accurate data. ----- ### "Retain should look to transform from resource management to experience management" — 3.0/5 > **Eric** | *30 August 2022* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Search feature is most impactful and the Table View is easier to use. > > **Cons**: The reporting feature is nothing more than a means to dump raw data in MS Excel. The reporting comes after our experience managers manipulate the data into actionable information. > > Using Retain is like going to the dentist. You know you have to go, but are not excited about it. ----- ### "Retain's Review" — 4.0/5 > **Tram** | *31 August 2022* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The color pallets - It's really helpful for us to definite the booking's types, engagements manager and bookings purposes. Secondly, granting user access to the Retain Cloud is easily and conveniently. > > **Cons**: The reporting functions does not work well per our expectation. We appreciated the efforts of supporting team for their fast actions on our requests. However, currently we often use only 3-4 in total 20 types of designed templated. Our resource team will work more with Retain Supporting team on this matters on a later date. > > Overall, our experience with product Retain Cloud (Web version) is fine. I used to use Retain Wallchart (App version) previously in PwC Vietnam then I could recognized the enhancement as well as disadvantages of Retain Cloud. The good points of this product are some reports can perform like Power BI, users (at manager level) can customized their view and all users can access the system from any devices. As for the drawbacks, we noticed that your technical teams have done all their best to enhance the functionalities gradually. BDO Singapore separately sent them some requests and got their feedbacks very fast (except for some still in consideration to develop in future :), and we still keep following up on that ) ----- ### "Resourceful Platform for Project and Tasks Planning" — 5.0/5 > **Isaac** | *22 April 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The program brings organization to all the business resources that companies have, and accurate allocation is done. > > **Cons**: The software has made consistent assistance in managing resources. > > Retain Resource is integral in brings suitable mechanisms of managing all the resources in a business ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/132356/retain-resource-planning?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/132356/retain-resource-planning) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
