Lots of time saving templates to choose from. Very easy to import data from other Office softwares such as excel. > > **Cons**: The free version has limited functionality. Can be hard to manage bigger projects as they often become cluttered. ----- ### "Clunky and not up to date" — 2.0/5 > **Andrew** | *18 July 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good looking Slides once you have found a work around for their clunky software. > > **Cons**: Most of the fuctionality does not work correctly, updating a linked MS Project never worked. Had to upload multiple times to get a good looking reports. Recently stopped working all together and they hammer you with ads. Super annoying\! > > Project slides. ----- ### "Value and Versatility" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *19 August 2021* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Office Timeline has given us the ability to provide our donors and stakeholders with a dynamic view of the projects that we are engaged in. It adds a level of professionalism to our PowerPoint presentations that we had previously been unable to achieve. Rather than generic charts and reports, our donors and stakeholders are able to see graphic representations of exactly where their money and resources are going. > > **Cons**: The software requires the operator to have access to significant amounts of information to be able to provide the best outcomes. This has prevented us from being able to roll out its use to our entire staff. > > Office Timeline has given us an edge on other similar businesses. Our donors have frequently commended us on the professionalism of our reports and presentations. Being able to reach new supporters and maintain satisfaction with our current supporters through the functions that Timeline provides has allowed us to start new projects and has given us the security of knowing that our current supporters will continue investing in us. ----- ### "Simple and visible" — 5.0/5 > **Borislava** | *16 November 2022* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great tool to present the project milestone or multiple projects at a time. Nice interface and easy to use and update This add-on allows me to create an efficient and visible communication about what needs to be done and what has been already accomplished > > **Cons**: Nothing special. I like everything in this add-on > > Great tool\! I love it as it helps me present my projects in a very beautiful way. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/28473/lucen-timeline?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/28473/lucen-timeline) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
