Pros I love that, as a product marketer, we can see product's updates and artifacts in this platform, the status of different sprints, and not have to chase product managers down to have an update conversation. Cons Product is not consistent with their updates - it would be awesome if ProdPad could do push notifications to help product managers remember to capture their updates, or integrations with some of the tools they use like InVision or Jira.

Having a tool that allows me to organize that work with those frameworks I learned from their sessions is really helpful. Pros As someone relatively new to product management, it has been super helpful to find a tool that can help me structure my thoughts and decisions. I'm able to quickly share the content with my team and the Jira integration is super helpful so that the flow from market analysis to idea generation to spelling out the functional requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria, to linking to designs and having all of that feed into a Jira epic is amazing. Business stakeholders can also see the roadmap and understand why a decision to push a feature into production (or not) was made. Cons The learning curve is steep. We had multiple sessions with the ProdPad team to understand how it integrates with our workflows. The initial time investment is worth it though, especially now that I can work straight out of ProdPad instead of having to connect and link content from Airtable, Google Docs, Confluence and Jira. Some of the UI could be improved - my team initially stumbled a bit with the UI (like things closing up accidentally with content that had not been saved) but have shared with each other things to look out for moving forward. Switched from [Airtable](https://www.capterra.com/p/146652/Airtable/) It was a company/team decision. I am an end-user. Review Source Matt A. Vice President, Operations Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple yet noisy at the same time" December 5, 2018 3.0 Our product manager introduced us to ProdPad and he was our main user. No one else on the team, including myself, has adopted using it nearly as much and so it feels like more noise than help to me Pros Creating stories and bucketing them for planning purposes is very easy. It makes a very compelling visual when we do our product roadmap to see the various stories and categories. Integrates with Trello, which we also use Cons The stories can build up and the "simple" visuals become muddy very quickly. It would be great to have another layer to summarize above what is already there so we can see the forest through the trees Review Source MB Mike B. Senior Product Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and effective" August 10, 2023 5.0 We use ProdPad for the entire product management life cycle in a startup and are happy: easy, simple, gets the job done Pros ProdPad is easy to use, simple to integrate with Jira and most importantly supports you in your daily PM life Cons While simple to integrate with Jira, customization only goes so far. If you have massive (integration) requirements, ProdPad might not be your preferred tool Review Source FK Fanny K. Product Lead Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best tool for alignment and collaboration on product strategy" December 14, 2022 5.0 Pros I'm so happy to be working with ProdPad again. I've used it in a previous company I worked at and am glad to have introduced it again in my newest role. Some things have changed in the past 2 years but it's still such a great tool for alignment: I love how easy it is to share our strategy, keep room for changes, get others involved too. Cons Not related to ProdPad specifically, the same would happen with others tools too: it requires to educate our colleagues and stakeholders on various concepts (feedback, idea, opportunity etc) and how they tie together. Review Source Response from CreateSHIFT December 21, 2022 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review Fanny. It's lovely to have you back and so glad to hear that you still find ProdPad to be a valuable tool for alignment. Please do let us know if there is anything we can do to help support you in getting your team to understand the concepts needed to really nail product management in ProdPad. gC gary C.

Aggregating elements across project/product would make life easier Could be more customisable Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Solution Designer Investment Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clunky but looks good" September 6, 2018 2.0 Pros The UI is fanstastic. The UX is what I care about more and it's garbage. Cons It's clunky. It's not obvious how to do anything. I assume that's why they hold so many webinars. It lacks functionality I would expect. You're clicking all over the place to get to where you want to go. Review Source MK Mallory K. Product Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Customer support is FAST & thorough, the tool is very easy to use." May 5, 2017 5.0 Ability to build roadmaps to communicate with both engineers & executives. Pros \- Low barrier to entry, easy to get going right away - Visuals & ability to quickly create reports and presentations for executive level staff - Ability to capture & organize customer feedback - Roadmaps that aren't timelines/schedules!! Love that it frees you up to focus on the WHAT & WHY and not get hung up on dates/gantt charts. Cons \- Seems like they are always updating but I could use a few more reporting features & features for resource allocation. Review Source Response from CreateSHIFT May 10, 2017 Hi Mallory, We're thrilled to hear that ProdPad is helping you get so much done! Thanks for leaving us this review - we love having you here. :) -Team ProdPad JM James M. Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Elegant and effective, with awesome support" August 1, 2016 5.0 Easy entry, constantly being improved, great support and hand-holding. Love that so many of the team are accessible and responsive! Pros Hugely powerful. It shows that actual Product Managers are behind it. Cons Can take a while to really understand all aspects - but the release notes and guides are improving all the time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product & Operations Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ProdPad " December 13, 2019 5.0 It's a great tool to collect, structure and manage feature ideas and feedback in 1 place. They also provide a solution for Roadmaps but we are not using it for this purpose at this time. Pros Prodpad Slack integration is the feature I love the most. As a Product Manager, I start my week reviewing feature ideas and feedback and I just need to open Prodpad channel to see the latest. Saves me time and so convenient. Cons I find it difficult to browse through all the feedback and feature ideas in Prodpad using search and not to read the same ones again. It might be just the way we organize it in my company still it could be improved. Maybe mark automatically the ones I opened just recently. Review Source AP ALISON P. Head of Customer Success Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It works okay" October 4, 2018 3.0 Pros It's better than nothing! We can communicate as a team on product road map ideas and neatly organize them into different areas. Cons Customer support is less than stellar, it's often buggy - ideas disappear and re-appear, it says it's offline when it is not. Review Source TG Timoté G. Head of Product & Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Weak user experience" November 8, 2019 2.0 We decided to stop using the tool and everyone in the organisation was complaining. Pros Even though the tool is easy to implement and get started, they too much try to impose their way of approaching product management. Additionally most of the view are really weak and difficult to manage.

Customer Success Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great way to track ideas and collaborate, but can be hard to navigate" October 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Since I am the one at my company talking to clients the most, it's great for me to enter in my feedback and log ideas for product improvement in ProdPad - this is the cleanest forum for my development team and I to prioritize improvements. Easy way to communicate back and forth about ideas and get them into development. Cons As someone who isn't as experienced in software, it can be difficult to navigate. ProdPad captures so many details (which is great), but when I'm submitting an idea for our development team, I can get slightly overwhelmed and lost as to what each category means. Guided walk-throughs of the site might help with this. Review Source BD Ben D. CTO + Co-founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Make your product great again" December 8, 2016 5.0 Seriously. We've been using tools for managing the day-to-day of product development that work great, but they've all missed the boat when it comes to the what and why of creating your product. This tool has been invaluable when creating specifications for new features, sussing out the nuances about what makes a great feature, and communicating with management and our customers. If you manage a product, you need more than a check-list of tasks to do. This is it. Pros Great team Great communication tool Review Source Response from CreateSHIFT December 8, 2016 Thanks for dropping this lovely review, amigos! - All of us at ProdPad MW Meghan W. Senior UX Researcher Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good customer feedback tool " July 16, 2020 4.0 Overall ProdPad is a useful tool to collect and surface client feedback. Pros I love ProdPad's Slack integration. I can view client feedback in Slack as it comes in - I appreciate that it meets me where I am workwise, it doesn't make me log into it's site everyday. Cons The default email settings are somewhat overwhelming. I received several email digests and marketing emails that became annoying. It was easy to unsubscribe, but I wish they didn't bombard me by default.
