Customer Service Spot-On A+++

PlanIO Support is very efficient in responding to email support questions and very good at communicating solutions! I notice it is never just one person that handles the ticket either which means it's a team that is collaborating! Great team!

Excellent service

Fast at support, Plan.io provide a great full featured issue reporting system. Always polite and always helpful they even anticipated our request to map a new sub-domain when our company re-branded. In short this has taken the hassle out of many of our project management hosting issues and allowed us to concentrate on managing projects instead of managing our project management!

Thanks for the prompt assistance

I asked to help me with the settings of plan.io
How it became clear, redmine has to be updated to resolve my issue. However, guys from the support team, did it for me immediately.
Great thank you for that!

Amazing Customer Service

Planio is an amazing company with great customer service. Despite me working in the East Coast and a roughly 5 hour time difference. They were able to address and resolve my issue in a timely manner. I contacted them on Friday afternoon, by Monday morning my problem was resolved! Great Job Planio, Keep up the good work

Plan.io = Great application, excellent service

We've been using Redmine in our own installation, and as the overhead of maintaining that became a real burden, we switched over to Plan.io's service. Everything about the engagement has been positive:

(1) The trial was easy
(2) The migration of our system (from a very old Redmine) to the Plan.io system was flawless.
(3) The follow-on support as we dealt with differences due to the Redmine versions was timely and effective.

It was a no-brainer for us to decide to make the switch permanent.

Keep it up.

Super fast, friendly and really useful support, as well as a great product

I would recommend planio to anyone, who's not fast enough to run away.

They have a unique product, which is really useful in organizing the work of small and medium sized teams. It's also great for developers in that they offer a solid source code hosting service.

And they have a super helpful support team which is always standing by and helps - even with not so regular use cases and questions.

Excellent solution but could have a few more killer features

plan.io is fantastic with regards to ease of use and available features. My team consists of people of varying techy abilities yet all have raved about the usefulness of plan.io system.

From my perspective I would like to see, and would happily pay for, the following;

1. More robust bug/issue tracker
2. Project management software
3. Integration between 1 and 2
4. More substantial file management and sharing

Excellent support!

The support team provided a workaround for a third party client that wasn't authenticating correctly. Very patient and methodical troubleshooting through the chat feature.

Excellent service quick to respond to queries

Totally reliable service imported all our old content from a custom Redmine install and mapped all the data correctly. Seemless and perfect migration! Would recommend these guys to anyone interested in using Redmine without the hassle of supporting it themselves. They always respond to support requests within an hour or two and I suspect faster if you're on the custom enterprise level tier.

Thanks so much for your kind words. We're happy to hear that you're satisfied with the migration from Redmine and our support. During business hours, we try to respond within a few hours usually - sometimes faster. Our support level is the same for all clients, be it in the free Bronze plan or the full Enterprise tier. Our support staff handles every request with the same attention and timeliness.

pretty fed up with customer service

customer service is difficult to get in contact wtih. by the time i've had my CST morning meeting, i think there is only about 1 hour left in the day to contact customer service and then i have to wait until the next day. for an enterprise account, i expect to be able to contact someone at any time during the work day.

customer service responses usually don't solve my issue. most resonses that i get include a quote that says indirectly, "hey just pay us and we'll fix that". hosting doesn't cost 200 euros, nearly 400 dollars per month - just what are we getting for that large sum of money? we went enterprise so that we could have staibilty and flexibility. where is the flexibility?

i am not able to get reports that i need, for instance, where can i find out the accuracy of my developers' estimates? why can't i data mine within redmine?

Jay:

My name is Jan, I am the CEO here at Planio. I thank you for your review, but please let me clarify the situation which you present in an inaccurate way.

It was me answering your support tickets and I remember the situation very well.

As you know, we offer a free 30 day trial with no obligations during which prospect clients can test our services. Only after the 30 days, we ask for payment details in case clients would like to continue using the service.

Every Planio plan comes with very powerful an fine grained reporting tools. They are thoroughly tested and they work the way they should. Your initial request did not concern a bug or problem with Planio, but rather a missing feature or behavior which you seem to require for your organization.

As you know, your company, Moontoast, has tested and used Planio for months before the requirement of additional reporting features has been brought to our attention.

We responded to the feature request and every chat and email promptly and offered to quote for a customized solution based additional requirements.

Unfortunately, you were not very precise in formulating what exactly was needed, so I took on your support case and asked for a more detailed description & screenshot/mockup that could serve as a basis for a quote and a possible implementation. This is a standard procedure for custom feature implementation requests.

You did not respond to that last e-mail of mine which was sent 14 days ago. To be honest, I find it rather unfair to go ahead and post a negative and inaccurate comment here on Trustpilot instead.

We have every intention of helping our clients in the best possible way we can and we go as far as to customize the Planio source code if required. In order for that to be possible, we require a minimum of specification or description of what a customization should look like. A statement like "I think the reporting is weak" is unfortunately not good enough to help us build reporting screens that are better suited to your needs.

If you still require the customization, please respond to my last email. Also take a moment to think about how you would like the reporting feature to be. Maybe mock up a screenshot or describe what you'd like to see on the screen in your own words. Of course, we're also available on the the phone (the number is +1 (415) 523-7718) should you prefer to describe your requirements verbally. We will be happy to provide a quote and implement the new feature for you if possible.

Sincerely,

Jan Schulz-Hofen
CEO

full application project manager

The most complete project manager I ever seen.
I would like to hear if you have in mind to add more applications to plannio. There are a lot of very nice pluggins for redmine, I would love to use but connected with Planio like SalesKing.
I am very interesting in pluggins about CRM, Kanban, scrum.
Another thing can be very good and easy to improve is add documents for users, so any user can have own private space.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for your kind words, Francisco. We are continuously improving Planio and are adding more features that we hope are useful to the majority of our client base.

In addition to that, within our Enterprise plan, we offer the possibility to install Redmine plugins developed by the community if they meet our quality and security criteria. Please get in touch with us via support@plan.io if you would like to discuss this more specifically.

Best regards,

Jan Schulz-Hofen
