The Liquid Approach makes you think about project management the same way its creators do.
Bottom Line
Good Teams Plan. Great Teams Execute. This is the mantra shared by the team at LiquidPlanner. The focus on getting things done gives us very little to complain about.
Sporting excellent functionality and organization, LiquidPlanner is an easy sell to any team. We were glad to find the design intuitive, as you cannot customize the look of your workspace. We wouldn’t be upset if they spent an afternoon updating the style of their tool – feels dated. The tool reminded us of a mix between the simplicity of Basecamp and the functionality of Wrike.
LiquidPlanner offers a full training program dedicated to onboarding typically performed in 4 sessions. The Quick Start Onboarding program, included in the Professional and Enterprise editions, is tailored to fit your team’s specific needs. The curriculum is designed to optimize your project management workflow, empower your team with new skills and confidence, and ease the transition from your current system to LiquidPlanner. The four sessions: 1. Welcome Call, 2. Essentials for Building Your Workspace, 3. Workspace Consultation, 4. Team Essentials Training – LiquidPlanner.com.
Automated scheduling is a unique feature to LiquidPlanner. They have built a smart scheduling and planning tool into their software they call the Realistic Scheduling Engine that will save you and your team time. All you have to do is start adding tasks and the software takes care of the rest.
Though expensive, LiquidPlanner is universally rated one of the best work-management tools on the market geared for any size team. They offer a free, full-access, 30-day trial without requiring a credit card. At $29.99/user/month for their standard plan, this is quite pricey. This was a big turn-off for us to really consider this tool in my previous professional experiences.

Slightly overwhelming… be sure to watch the tutorials as it has a tough learning curve.
Great tool that helps my team stay on their assignments, and allows me to quickly and easily keep up with their progress.
I know there are better alternatives out there but this gets the job done for us
We’ve used LiquidPlanner for two months and are desperate for change. For this price our team should easily get the hang of using it. They allow time tracking for tasks however there are no billing features to be found!
LiquidPlanned has improved our team efficiency, but this is not a fully formed task management program
LiquidPlanner can be overwhelming. Just give yourself some time to get to know it!
Liquid is a one-size fits all solution. My team needed something tailored to our needs without being bulky. Excited for my demo with ClickUp and Asana
Great onboarding team will help you through any struggles you might have!
Easy to use and does everything you need in a simple project management setup. Its pretty inconvenient that they require internet to use, but I do have to applaud them for the excellent customer support.
Overall this platform gets the job done. That being said I can’t help but feel there could be some better options out there. I want a tool that is clean and fun to use!
Liquidplanner is great for gaining insight on time spent on projects and processes.
Overall pretty easy to use and adapt to any workflow. Has a strong reporting capability where you can drill down into custom fields.The platform is very slow and results in less efficient work. It takes too long to update any new folder, comment, checklist, time entry, etc. Dashboards don’t sufficiently handle the project visibility needs of a C-level executive. LiquidPlanner is better suited for smaller companies that need an integrated time and project management solution.
We have been using Liquid Planner for nearly 5 years and have really loaded it up with large projects consisting of hundreds of tasks. But, it is slow!
Not impressed with this company. While it offers some good reporting features the customer service is terrible.
Great product overall. It can get really expensive and they’re not willing to work with you
I like that Liquid planner has multiple folders where you can store different information, and keep track of projects. You can also have as many users on each task and have ability to assign to someone, which I think is the most important, so you can see who is the last one on the assignment. It is a little bit too complicated, and needs to be simplified.
Really like the solution so far!
Great support team, but way too buggy for our team.
Helps you stay organized, increase inefficiency, and increase communication
Love the auto Gantt feature, Good time-logging and reporting, Clever scheduling engine, and Incredibly flexible. Can’t filter by activity for reporting. Can’t publish dashboards publicly. Doesn’t integrate with MS Visual Studio.
I use it daily to see an accurate picture of what’s on my plate and what’s coming.
Expensive
We now have a roadmap and a schedule for our development in a easy to understand and view manner.
Just an okay tool. We will be looking for a new one in about 2 months
Good pm tool
