5pm is used by a wide range of companies from smal non-profits and EDUs to large corporations.
Nifty is geared towards companies of all sizes from SMB's and medium-sized business, to large enterprise organizations.
I like the software because it helps my team to easily track our work progress, which can potentially help us to decide time and budget in the future.
Some technical glitches do happen, the most annoying is when a project deletes on it's own or we can't really decipher how that happens.
The ability to monitor user activity is very helpful in our time management. The standalone time keeper is also a great solution.
It's difficult to find fings that are completed and our team all uses the system to vary degrees which makes it difficult to know where to know to look for notes, status, etc.
I like that the software is easy to use and above all, the interface upgrades are nice. The color coding and icons are It helps distinguish the areas.
I have a hard time finding my tasks (completed or not) in the system. Sometimes I need to see notes/context on a task/project regardless if it's mine or not.
5 PM has pretty robust filters and a sorting feature. Bonus perks are great pricing, easy to switch languages and an awesome app that makes on the go updates seamless.
The only feature that I have any problem with, is the Timeline feature.
We needed an intuitive tool to manage projects, share files, and communicate in real-time. We have found Nifty to be an excellent choice and a piece of our ability to achieve goals over the past year.
The iPad app sucks, I know there are plans this year to specifically address that, but currently, it's just what you see on the iPhone.
Very happy with Nifty in general. I would recommend it to individuals or companies looking for an alternative to Monday.com.
We need to refresh the entire page to see the recently uploaded files, which can get a bit irritating.
Nifty does everything we'd want it to, with excellent features for task and project management. Nifty is great at organising everything into projects and timeframes.
All kinds of system notifications show up in the Discussion streams and there's no way to delete them.
I like that it's easy to see all the tasks in the dashboard. It's easy to see progress and who is responsible for different tasks.
CNAME has long been delayed its still on their road map for a long time.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
