Mastt Reviews

Mastt was easy to use and set up. It uses a lot of cost managmeent principles that clients and contractors would be familiar with, but takes away a lot of user error that spreadsheets bring.

It also has the power to combine multiple projects into programs or portfolios to filter data for management level analysis and direction.

The user interface is an improving aspect of the software. There have been great recent changes, but more can be done which I understand are in the development pipeline.

Finance management - enables efficient and accurate forecasting and cash flow management at an individual project level, as part of a portfolio or as part of a program of works.
Communication to internal and external stakeholders is EXCELLENT.
Risk management and communication of the risks at different business levels is excellent

Initially, it takes new people to the software some time to get the hang of it. However, continually developed lessons and user guides plus organisational use and familiarity will reduce this significantly.
The more automation within the software will increase user efficiency and enable a higher level of the 'so what' of the data analysis and less on the data input.

Historically we manage cost on our projects through a sophisticated excel spreadsheet with many Macros. Mastt automates this, removing the potential to make mistakes and break formula's.

Layout flexibility - it would be great if the order of rows could be changed at a later date (e.g. changing the structure/order of your budget).
However I see that Mastt has already been looking into these kind of things - evidenced by Mastt Beta

Adaptability of MASTT.
Ability to include specific requirements/information relevant to the user/project.
Overall presentation of data on the system.
A very intuitive platform for financial management.
Ability to access the platform from both a restricted network (Defence) and public network.
Ease of adapting existing processes into a far more streamlined process.

No significant cons to report.
Some terminology used in the system was new for many users, however, did not take very long for the new use of certain terminology to become the norm.
If users have a financial management background then the terminology used will not be of any concern.

The software is a great solution to the issue of incomplete or redundant data used in project reporting. The fact the data is in the cloud and able to be updated in real-time is a great benefit to me and my clients time.

I don't have any major issues, I juat wish they gave out more free tee shirts.

As client-side project managers, Mastt was simple to use and aligned well with our contract delivery model (Government Infrastructure). Our team was able to get a high-level program-wide snapshot of performance and determine the project areas that required further analysis.

The ongoing user support was excellent and the onboarding of new team members was well done.

Our clients appreciated the clean graphics and printable reports.

Mastt is a growing platform with a great core product so we are keen to see them develop additional functionality into the system which will make it bulletproof.

Mastt is an easy to deploy and easy to use product that actually works. The rich information outputs that are extracted from information inputted simply (and only once) are a huge asset to any project big or small.

The anticipation of new feature buttons that i could see but not use!

Helps reduce opportunity for errors in cash flow and budgeting, provides insights into aggregated data and program trends. Assists with standardising and making data more transparent and easy to interpret. Mastt team is extremely proactive and responsive to feedback. Product is intuitive to use and constantly evolving to better meet needs.

No ability for point-in-time comparison and limited customisation in report print-outs - but both of these are on the improvement roadmap so I'm sure I'll see them soon.

That it simplifies managing a program of works all in one platform + it's User friendly

Lag due to internet or server & Bugs!!

Mastt provides financial information in a easy to read and succinct manner. Mastt is constantly requesting feedback on how they are able to better the system and assist in teaching me ways to extract information from the software in a way that is tailored to my needs.

Some aspects were initially slow to load, this seems to be improving with the latest update.

Easy to use, a real-time update on the Project Cost Plan.

Not much to be completely honest. It is much better than the software we used in the past.

Mastt allows financial and status tracking of construction projects all in one system (no need for back up spreadsheets!!). The system makes it easy to track overall budget status and report quickly and easily to your clients.

Initial data entry can be slow however, once the budgets and contracts are set up it is easy to make and track changes and spending.

The dashboard with infographics. The dashboard view of projects is something that we do not have currently. We are still in a trial period and have not presented the dashboard to any committee or council but I can see that it will deliver more clearer and intuitive understanding of capital projects to executives.

Overall, it would be great if users and administrators are given more editing rights so that users can add/remove, edit, or even create graphs, reports and so on. Also, it would be really great if Mastt is integrated with ERP systems so that capex expenditure information could flow through rather than manually entered.

Easy to use and great support back-up when needed.

Took a little while to get used to navigating the software
