Aryana R
Strategist
4.0

Aryana R.: Hi, I'm Aryana, the founder of a coaching and training company, and I give Nifty a four out of five. I was working in Basecamp, and I found it hard to navigate. When I was looking for something, I'd spend a lot of time trying to find that post or that document, and it was frustrating. I decided to go with Nifty. One, the pricing. It was better than anything else that I'd looked at. I also liked it was more intuitive, and it was like I was looking at a desktop, not just this blank screen. I was able to put my calendar in there, my team members, alert people easily. It had kind of this feeling of a dashboard that was modifiable. My team and I are still working on onboarding. I found that this is what I do as a business owner is I get my team to do, "How does this all work?" Then they teach me how to do it. I would say we really ran at it very quickly and we got some projects in there. I was really impressed as we were doing it. Then things got busy, so we started to go back to Google Docs. Interestingly, just yesterday, I was like, "I'm done Google docs. I'm done emails back and forth. I need to get us using Nifty again." I started to put some projects in, some task lists. There's something really satisfying about that, when you can be like, "Tick it off. I did it." If you're considering Nifty, I suggest doing their free trial, if they still have it, and really give it a robust, try. Get your team members working in it and put an entire project in. It's going to help you because you can still use the content if you decide not to continue with their trial, but that's one thing that I wished I'd done when I was researching is just give it a good solid test because then once you do commit to it, you're going to stick with it and you're going to use it fully.

Kimber M
Office Manager
4.0

Kimber M.: My name is Kimber. My job title is office manager. Our company is called Architects Collective. We're a relatively small architect firm with less than 15 employees, but everything is in-house. We do keep track of our time, our personal time and then also our time on projects so that we can help stay within budget or create future budgets. We are still in the early stages of using Monograph, but so far I would say probably four stars. Just a couple of glitches here and there, but it's done well for us. We used a QuickBooks-type system and also a different timekeeping system. And we also had to keep track of all of our prints and everything in order to implement all of those into the same reports to generate our monthly invoices to each of the clients. Quite a few different programs. I would say price drove us more than anything else. But once we got it established, it was much more user-friendly than the previous programs we were using. We were able to onboard or integrate anything. So we had to input all of our data into the system by hand, and it was horrible. It was not a good part of the process. But once everything was in the system, we were able to see how much better than the previous program it was. I would definitely say if your data is able to be imported so that you don't have to do it, that was one of our biggest hurdles. But just make sure that the program is what you're needing, because there's been different things that we've had to manipulate it and work to what we needed. But all in all, I think it's worked out pretty well.
