What do you like best about Parallax?

Parallax has helped enforce a greater degree of data validity across our sales, delivery, and finance operations. The team at Parallax have been great partners in helping us get up and running and also refine the product to our specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parallax?

There can be some growing pains within your company as individual have to re-orient their work to how Parallax functions. Parallax is very focused on agile work practices…if you don't sell or think about your work that way, it might be challenging to adopt. We use Harvest for our time keeping—the way that Parallax connects to Harvest is a bit non-intuitive to the individual contributor. There isn't a 1-to-1 relationship between Parallax projects and Harvest projects. Now that we're up and running, this is really the only ongoing source of tension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parallax solving and how is that benefiting you?

We now have better and more reliable visibilty of how our sales pipeline may impact our talent needs. Previously, the data coming from our sales tool (Pipedrive) wasn't wrong, but it also wasn't completely aligned to how we would be using it in delivery. Parallax helped enforce consistency between sales and delivery. Also, our prior talent planning tools were functional, but straining under our increased growth. Parallax sets us up well for continued growth on a purpose-built platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
