YesPartialNo?Not documented
| Capability | Current MSP | Proxuma |
|---|---|---|
| Gantt / timeline | Yes, native Timeline view with drag to reschedule and back-scheduling, plus an interactive dependency map and a calendar view. | Yes, native Full Gantt over every Autotask project with phases, tasks and hours; drag to reschedule, stretch or shrink task bars. |
| Critical path | Yes, built in Critical path recalculates on every date, dependency or availability change and shows in red on the dependency map. Accounts for PTO. | No No critical-path engine on any Proxuma page; rescheduling is drag and bulk shift. |
| Task dependency types (FS, SS, FF, SF) | All four types, lag Finish-start, start-start, finish-finish and start-finish, with lag or lead in working days, cross-project links, and cycles refused. | ?Not documented Project pages describe phases, tasks and hours; creating predecessor links is not documented. |
| Auto-reschedule along dependencies | Yes, plus back-scheduling Moving a task offers to shift everything downstream. Can schedule backward from a fixed deadline and flags a plan that would start in the past. | Manual only Reschedule by drag or by shifting selected tasks a week; no dependency engine. Reserved Capacity spreads estimates, not dates. |
| Capacity planning | Workload board Schedule board shows hours committed vs available per person, drag to dispatch, rebalance suggestions. Capacity fixed at 40h/week today. | Yes, flagship Capacity calendar with per-day planned, spare and overbooked bars, Reserved Capacity and Shifts. Its core product. |
| Schedules around PTO and holidays | Yes Skips weekends, company holidays, PTO and blocked days on the Timeline, critical path and what-if. Microsoft 365 busy time shows on Schedule. | Yes, Outlook-fed Capacity counts service calls plus chosen Outlook items, PTO, holidays and internal meetings. |
| Milestones | Yes Any task can be flagged a milestone; it stays in the dependency and critical-path engine and shows on the timeline, map and partner portal. | ?Not documented Proxuma's own pages do not describe milestones; Autotask milestones live in Autotask. |
| Kanban board | Yes, native Board view with a column per status, drag-and-drop cards, hide columns and narrow to one person. | Yes, writes back Swimlane boards on Autotask statuses; moving a card updates Autotask. Saved views and card customization. |
| Portfolio view | Yes, with health score Every project with health score, budget burn, due date and AI top risks; filter, sort, open or completed. Called Projects in the menu. | Yes Every Autotask project on one timeline, filtered by team, project lead or customer. |
| Checklist items with owners and due dates | Yes, with reminders Each checklist item can have an owner and due date, never later than its task. Reminders by bell and email the day before, on the day and once late. | ?Not documented Proxuma pages do not describe checklists; any checklists stay in Autotask. |
| Personal "my day" page | My Day One page per person: tasks and tickets assigned to you across projects in suggested order, dated checklist items, To Do and meetings. | Own timeline Engineers see their own timeline and projects, and get work as Outlook invites; no combined my-work page. |
| Time tracking | Yes, PSA-checked Timer, task drawer or weekly timesheet. Entries are checked against your PSA's rules before saving, then sync to Autotask, ConnectWise, HaloPSA or Syncro. | Planning layer Compares planned with actual hours; engineers log time in Autotask in one click from the Outlook invite. |
| Customer portal that hides financials | Yes, database-enforced Customers see only projects they belong to. Time, rates and financials are not in the data the portal can read. Portal viewers are free. | No portal No customer portal documented. Project reports have a customer version with anonymized financials. |
| Templates / playbooks | 34 built-in playbooks 34 ready-to-run playbooks (incl. M&A integration and AI projects), save any project as a template, or let AI draft a plan from a pasted SOW. | Yes Template from scratch or a past project, merged with Autotask templates and laid onto the schedule. |
| Automation / workflow rules | Alerts, not rules Health monitors, assignment and unblocked alerts, Teams channel posts and channel auto-create. No user-built trigger-action rule builder for projects. | Sync and shifts Two-way sync, auto Outlook invites, Reserved Capacity allocation and shift recurrence rules; no general rules engine. |
| Reports emailed on a schedule | Yes, PDF and CSV One Reports page on a shared date range with comparison. PDF/CSV export; weekly or monthly emails with a PDF built with each recipient's access. | AI project reports Branded customer and internal report per project, plus 30+ Power BI dashboards; scheduled emailing is not documented. |
| Dashboards on an office TV | Yes, TV link Describe a tile in words and AI builds it.

| AI writing help | Dictate & Enhance Dictate or rewrite in time entry summaries, notes and emails, with Undo. Staff only; on by default, a tenant admin can turn it off. | ?Not documented AI is focused on Power BI questions and reports; writing help inside the planner is not documented. |
| PSA billing sync | Syncs to PSA or native Your PSA (Autotask, ConnectWise, HaloPSA or Syncro, one per workspace) stays the billing record while Current schedules, or run projects natively. | Two-way, Autotask only Real-time two-way Autotask sync; Autotask stays the record. Vendor states Autotask is the only PSA it connects to today. |
| Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, calendar) | Yes, via Graph SharePoint project documents, a Teams channel per project, calendar busy time on Schedule, and To Do sync.

Where Proxuma wins
Specialized capacity planning on Autotask: a per-day calendar of planned, spare and overbooked hours fed by Autotask and Outlook PTO, shift rotations, and a deep Power BI layer.
Where Current fits: Proxuma is Autotask-only and has no critical-path engine or customer portal. Current schedules along dependencies, runs on four PSAs or natively, and is a fit when delivery, not dispatch, is the bottleneck.
Why MSPs choose Current
- Critical path, all four dependency types with lag, back-scheduling from a deadline and what-if previews are built in, not bought as a Moovila or TopLeft add-on.
- Scheduling skips weekends, company holidays and each person's PTO, the same way on the Timeline, the critical path and what-if, with Microsoft 365 busy time on the Schedule board.
- Gantt timeline, Kanban board, dependency map, calendar and a workload board all work on the same tasks, with 34 built-in playbooks and AI plan drafts from a pasted statement of work.
- My Day gives each person one page of the tasks and tickets assigned to them in suggested order, plus checklist steps that carry their own owner, due date and reminders.
- The customer portal keeps financials out by database rule: viewers see only their own projects and never reach time, rates or contract figures. Portal viewers are free.
- Works with the PSA you have: Autotask, ConnectWise, HaloPSA or Syncro stays the billing record, or projects run natively in Current. Time entries are checked against PSA rules before they save.
