Less Features on Plus Plan
I've written a review before on Office Timeline (now Lucen) and again it's incredibly frustrating to find features that I use now as part of my Plus plan will no longer be available to me when I eventually update the software.
Whilst the software is useful, improvements have been made throught with improved UI etc, responsive customer service. I can't really fault these things, but the constant diminishing of features being hidden behind the most expensive plan is annoying.
First, excel refresh was taken and hidden behind the top tier and now I find other features have moved behind the most expensive tier - the project performance tracking features which overlay progress bars and I've only noticed this as it's due time for my renewal.
Please don't make this about to improve customer experience, you've noted down which features people use and have hidden them behind the top tier.

Hi Nathan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for being a long-time Office Timeline, now Lucen Timeline, customer. I am sorry to hear about your experience and understand this has been frustrating.
You are correct that Excel Refresh moved to the Expert plan, and we appreciate you sharing how that change has impacted your workflow. This is useful feedback for our team.
Regarding the project performance tracking features you mentioned, specifically the progress bar overlays, we'd like to take a closer look. Our understanding is that this functionality should not have moved to the Expert plan, so we'd like to investigate what you're seeing.
Would you mind contacting us at timeline-feedback@lucensoftware.com and referencing this review, along with your Lucen Timeline version and any screenshots, please? Our team will be happy to look into it and provide clarification.
Thank you again for the feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to better understand your experience.

Pure crap
Pure crap. there is no sync between the Powerpoint plug-in and the web app, plus you can't import Powerpoint. So you have to export to excel, then import to the web version. The expert version is so slow it's completely un-useable. Unless all users are premium you get a water mark on the web app, and unfortunately even once all users are premium you can't remove it without completely rebuilding the project. Lucen obviously has put more time in to monetizing the product than making sure it remains a value added product.

Hi James,
Thanks for laying this out, and sorry it hasn't been the experience we want for you.
A bit of context on the sync point. The PowerPoint add-in and the Online edition are two separate products, so they don't sync directly, and neither one exports a PowerPoint file you can pull into the other. Improving how the two work together is on our roadmap, so it's something we're actively thinking about. In the meantime, both work with Excel and other project formats, and since they share the same underlying structure, timelines, milestones, start and end dates, exporting to Excel and importing into the Online edition carries everything across intact. It's an extra step, I know, but it's the reliable way to move work between them today.
On Expert, you're right, it's been sluggish lately and that's on us. The good news is we've addressed it in our latest release, version 14.8, so an update should make a real difference if you're on an older build.
The watermark you're describing doesn't sound right to me. If you wouldn't mind sending a quick note to timeline-support@lucensoftware.com mentioning this review, we'd like to be able to look into it further and get it sorted.
Thank you again for taking the time to share all this, James, it genuinely helps us prioritize what to improve.

Hello Ashley,
Thank you for the honest feedback. We're sorry the experience hasn't matched what we aim to deliver.
For performance, our support team at support@officetimeline.com would be glad to look into this directly and confirm you're on the latest version, which includes a number of speed and stability improvements.
On the manual side, this is something worth exploring further. Our Expert plan includes data connectivity and auto-refresh, which lets your timeline update automatically when your source data changes — which sounds like it could directly address what you're describing. Here's a quick breakdown of what's available across plans: https://support.officetimeline.com/difference-between-office-timeline-add-in-editions

Hello Pierusuk,
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're glad you're finding the tool handy — and we hear you on the timeline fitting challenge. There are a couple of options that might help — our space optimization features can help condense the layout, and PowerPoint also allows you to resize your slide dimensions to better accommodate larger timelines.
We'll be sharing some helpful articles below that walk you through these options — hopefully they save you that extra screenshot step.
If you have any questions, our support team is always happy to help.

An excellent tool for visually compelling timelines and plans
Office Timeline is an excellent tool for producing visually compelling timelines and plans. The presentation capabilities are the strongest suit of this PowerPoint Add-On. It is a valuable tool but does take some time to learn how to operate in order to generate the display qualities that you desire.
One major limitation which should be understood is the page sizing which is restricted by the MS PowerPoint page orientation / parameters.

Hello David,
Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind words. We're thrilled to hear that Office Timeline has been valuable for your presentations.
Regarding the learning curve, we actually have webinars covering quick start guides and best practices that can help you get up to speed much faster - feel free to register for them here: https://www.officetimeline.com/learning-center/live-training . Our support team is also always on hand if you need any additional assistance.
As for the page sizing, it's worth knowing that PowerPoint's built-in slide resize feature gives you quite a bit of flexibility to customize the dimensions to your needs. Please check the steps here: https://support.officetimeline.com/how-to-resize-your-slide-for-optimal-printing

Great experience
Once you get used to it, it is quite easy to use. it looks great for HL timelines. Only downfall is the amount of info that you can fit on a slide, which is a PowerPoint issue, not a timeline issue. Very happy over all.

Hello Phelim,
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear Office Timeline has been a great fit for your timeline presentations.
Great point on the slide space — while PowerPoint slides do have their limits, resizing the slide dimensions natively in PowerPoint can provide a lot more room to work with and fit more content. Here's an article that shows how: https://support.officetimeline.com/how-to-resize-your-slide-for-optimal-printing .

The templates are not user friendly. Also I find it difficult to move the plan towards the top once it's completed. I would just like to move the whole thing around without having to re-do the boxes and everything else. It quite time consuming.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we're sorry to hear the experience hasn't been as smooth as we'd like.
We'd love to understand a bit more about what felt difficult with the templates so we can look into it further and improve.
As for moving the timeline around, there is a drag and drop option available directly within Edit Timeline — you can see how it works here: https://support.officetimeline.com/rearrange-tasks-by-dragging-and-dropping . This should allow you to reposition everything without having to redo any of the boxes or elements, which should save you a lot of time.

Download and setup was simple.
Download and setup was simple.
I used Office Timeline at my previous job and have gotten use to the differences between editing an Office Timeline slide and a regular PowerPoint slide. Once you are comfortable with that it is a breeze to setup and maintain. I love the new features, with actual vs. planned and the timeline edit is much improved over a couple of years ago. Also, so many new templates to choose from. My co-workers at my new job are very impressed with the professional timelines I am able to produce.

Hi Tess,
The kind words about our team truly made our day — thank you!
We'd like to shed some light on the compatibility side — we do support Mac, however the add-in is built for Windows only, so the Online version would be the right fit for you.
We also noticed you've been trying the Online version and ran into an issue — we're already working on getting that sorted so you can get back on track.
Since the add-in license you recently purchased isn't compatible with Mac, we'd be happy to process a refund and help you get set up with an Online license instead — just let us know if that works for you!

Smartsheet works great with Office Timeline
I've mainly used the Smartsheet for tracking items/initiatives and the Office Timeline for the presentation part. Having them connected simplifies things and makes sense. I just pull it in and with a bit of time, tweaking the colors, formatting, and voilà the slides look right an ready to go.
It's one of those things you don't really think about once it's set-up, saving you time throughout the day.
