Partner, Cofounder, Chief Creative Technologist Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Abstract Approach to Cards; Few Limitations" December 12, 2019 5.0 For business partners & employees there was a steep learning curve; BUT Favro’s blog and resources do an amazing job at showing a lot of different management styles & project management approaches being used on the platform. This really helped people with different business and personal backgrounds start with a strong footing. The biggest part of the adoption wasn’t the platform, but how individual actors in the organization wanted to manage projects and action items when there was no platform limitations... Which for a startup, is definitely required as the business solidified it’s processes over time. Basically, there were no bottlenecks presenter while doing a myriad of different project types on Favro... that’s a big statement for a platform. Pros The platform approaches cards agnostically, but ensures re-use of customizations through templates. Lanes, groups, automation, and tagging make almost anything manageable in Favro... more than almost all others that I’ve worked on for production level projects. Agnostic to project management styles is a huge benefit when running things in the platform. Also important, the platform is amazing for how old it is. It’s “young” but I’m sure it will surpass others in terms of features. Cons Lanes displayed as standard cards in “My cards” is a bit overwhelming. I’m sure in the future they will keep upgrading to pay a bit more attention to “admin” views and have more “authority” driven dashboard views that summate statistics that currently are only viewable directly to the boards themselves. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Wrike](https://www.capterra.com/p/76113/Wrike/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reason for choosing Favro The trajectory of the platform is very clear to me; it will become more abstract yet they will keep up with helpful resources and continue showing their approach is based on real world, practical business standards... not just startups. Their examples and curated walk through a of how businesses use the platform will help keep support for it low in my department. Their approach to agnostic cards also makes it so changing a project’s board or ensuring a department can pivot how it needs without affecting others means a stable use throughout the organization(s). Switched from [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Their interface is a new approach, but for really complicated projects that are defined based on a Risk Management approach... Monday.com became very restrictive and a lot of time spent customizing it repeatedly. Review Source BL Brittany L. COO Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Best Tool I've Found for Project Management" January 21, 2022 5.0 Pros My company uses Favro like it's our Bible! We organize everything on here, from invoices to product roadmaps to assigning tasks to our team members to scheduling our blog posts and editorial calendar. It's extremely intuitive with new features coming out constantly. Favro has done so much to aid us in organizing our projects, setting deadlines, and figuring out our priorities when it comes to managing our business. Cons Favro is very intuitive, however, there is a slight learning curve. You definitely have to spend some time playing around with the platform to see how you want to use it. The templates are helpful, but I feel that there could be more options available.

We will soon update all our templates, and we hope that it will fasten your work. AC Amanda C.

Despite repeated emails they continued to charge us for services we requested to have canceled years ago and then denied receiving the emails. Poor communication. Pros We evaluated the software and found the platform and interface not helpful to our organization. Cons Impossible to cancel the service. Despite repeated emails they continued to charge us for services we requested to have canceled years ago and then denied receiving the emails. Poor communication.

CEO Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Everybody needs support at some moment and if you see yourself in this situation too, avoid favro." April 1, 2020 4.0 The trial experience is not good when we were implementing and onboarding the team we need more days to have everybody working in the same page, but Favro don't have this option and lock down all my account data. We came from Asana to work in favro but when we had many projects running at the same time we lost the full picture and after 3 months we came back to Asana. I asked the support how to downgrade my plan and they told me the wrong instruction and my data was locked again. This is the worst feeling that you can offer to someone: lock someones data and answer the day after, well, I'm still waiting it. Pros Intuitive views my team enjoyed to work with favro Cons We can have a macro view of the projects and we had to work with other platforms together Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reason for choosing Favro The Scrum and Kanban view from favro.

Pros This software is really practical and useful. I have been using this software for a couple of months now and I have a very nice experience with the program. Cons There too many features that I don't know all of them, I think you can make a tutorial on how to use it. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) It was a little slow and difficult to manage. Review Source MS Matthew S. Producer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for general overview, not great for specifics" January 31, 2022 2.0 Okay experience with Favro, but my job requires a lot of flexibility with subtasks, which is where Favro lacks. The other organizational aspects work well. Pros Favro gives great overview information. It's nice that cards can live in multiple places so team members can all work on the same project. Cons Favro does not do subtasks well. Its possible, but isn't a smooth process. Switched from [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Wanted a better place to have conversations related to projects. Review Source MD Rashedul K. Supply Chain Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Streamline Your Workflow with this Powerful Project Management Tool" March 29, 2023 5.0 Favro is a powerful project management tool that offers a lot of flexibility in how you organize and manage your projects. Its customizable views and boards make it easy to adapt to different workflows and project types. The integration with other tools and services is a big plus, and the features on offer are comprehensive and useful. However, the pricing structure may be a barrier for some users, especially those who only need basic project management features. Overall, Favro is a great choice for teams who want a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly project management tool. Pros User-friendly interface with a clean and modern designCustomizable views and boards allow for flexibility in project managementIntegrates with a variety of other tools, including Slack, Trello, and Google DriveOffers a wide range of features, including project templates, time tracking, and analyticsCustomer support is responsive and helpful Cons Pricing can be a bit steep for small teams or individualsSome features, such as Gantt charts, are only available in the more expensive plansThe mobile app is not as robust as the web version Review Source Chris G. Co-Founder Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool to manage boards/cards/bugs over weekly sprints." December 4, 2017 5.0 Easier management of sprints and greater insight into time to complete tasks. ie If cards are spanning multiple boards. The ability to have more granularity over the control of boards was a huge win over trello. That was the main reason for choosing this product over trello. Pros We switched from Trello to Favro because managing bugs/tasks across sprints became time consuming. Being able to easily see boards across multiple sprints was a huge win. Also, the fact that bugs are always visible is great as well. Cons My main wish is if there was a way to quickly identify clutter. For example, bugs that have not been touched for 6+ months are probably not bugs or have already been fixed. Maybe have a way to call attention to those cards for deletion. It would also be awesome if there was some sort of "smart" check to let the user know that a card being added may have already been added. It can waste quite a bit of time when you start looking into a bug that someone else has already fixed because it was added twice. Review Source Arturo R. Account Manager - SEM/SEO Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "As simple or as complex and you need it to be for light project management. Like Trello on steroids." May 17, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use, easy to set rules, easy to create and assign tasks. Once you set the rules and procedures adapted to your processes, it's very easy to use and to keep organized. I recommend spending some time setting up processes and rules: It'll make your project management bulletproof, even when multiple team members collaborate in one board. It's also very easy to switch from one board to the other and it's easy to differentiate your dashboards from one another. Integrations are amazing, you can connect with many other third-party software. Cons Centralized time tracking is not offered, making project accounting difficult. Multiple clients or projects might require different ways of working, so I recommend diving into the details of the platform to fully understand it and master it. It also does not provide Gantt chart or project completion graphs that are so useful. I recommend complementing this platform with other tools for these features. Integrations are very useful to compensate for these cons. Review Source Grunbaum G. Personal secretary for Defence Minister's advisor Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Honest Opinion" October 14, 2018 4.0 Getting all of my clients/projects orgenised as my calander and in control of my work and personal goals and tasks. Pros After Reviewing 10 most known Managing Apps - I have decided on Favro - it was a hard and long process which took me about a little over a month in which I have used all my "free trials" periods on all of them. Favro was the most suitable for my way of working - I can freely and quickly load my tasks for various projects as they come later I can deal with each of them and assigned each of them to team members and keep track of my progress - it's visually very appealing and enables me to distinct right away where I am standing. I have checked 10 Apps - were left with two which Afro was one of the two. The mobile follow up is wonderfull too i can be in a meeting and look at my check list of that meeting and have no need of printouts of my meeting notes and use it to update my meeting notes as the meeting goes along. Cons I wanted to share one of my clients (projects) with his dashboard and found out accidentaly he could olso see my own privet dashbord - i have immidiatly cancled the option - so far hadn't have the time to learn to overcome that problem - i guess it's my lack of experience of operating Favro.

Pros Knowing who is responsible for what and when it is due to be completed is vital in our industry and this tool helps us manage and automate the process to ensure that the work gets completed. We can easily identify any delays and ineffeniences which help us keep people accountable. Cons I would like to see more filter options specifically for bigger projects that are being worked on by different teams. Review Source AC Andres C. Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ideal option for collaborative planning" July 27, 2022 5.0 We use this app to collaborative planning and works just fine, but it can be improved in push notifications because we still need to notify manually when a task is done or needs approval. Pros \+ Great interface + Workflow is ok + Good integration with apps Cons \- Push notifications can be improved - It can be improved in progress tracking Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Favro Better price-quality relation Review Source TP Taylor P. Technical Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Favro has been great - we migrated from Trello, and it has been overall pretty seamless." May 22, 2018 4.0 Overall - this has been a great productivity software. We have very much enjoyed the ability to have cards live in multiple locations, so that people in different departments can all make updates to the same card. Pros The ability to have cards live in multiple locations is the #1 reason we switched from Trello to Favro. The Marketing and Product teams have separate boards, but, often work together on tasks. It is great to have a single card or group of cards live in multiple locations, so that when anyone makes an update to the card, it is updated for everyone. Cons Management of cards and boards isn't as easy as I'd like it to be. Every week, we make a new board for tasks that we want to accomplish that week, and we move the cards between columns as we make progress on them. When we complete the task, we move the card all the way over to a 'Done' column that we create. The columns are the same every week, and each week we need to manually create a new board and all of the columns. It would be great if we could have a new board automatically created each week to satisfy this. Or, at the very least, be able to create new boards from a template, to make this process easier. Additionally, managing tags is a bit of a problem. We migrated our boards over from Trello, so the old Product team boards and Marketing team boards from Trello each had their own tags, but, some of them overlapped. Favro doesn't offer a way to manage these tags and clean them up, so, assigning tags is difficult. For example, there could be 3 distinct tags for Video: "Video", "video", and "Vids". When creating a new card, and assigning a tag to the card, if I type in 'vid', all 3 of these tags are available to assign to the card. I have to know which tag I'm supposed to use and which I'm supposed to ignore. If I choose the incorrect tag, that could make finding a card later on more difficult.

Pros I was searching for an app to manage my projects and was thrilled to have stumbled upon this program called Favro. Favro has so much to offer when it comes to working as a team. We can visualize our projects while discussing virtually and writing it down on the virtual whiteboard. You can create a board and add frames. I am a visual person when it comes to learning and Favro captured my attention. The program keeps me focuses and excited about our projects. The program allows you to do video conferencing calls and chats. Favro is a sophisticated software for project management. Cons I don’t have any problems with the software because it has really helped me with my projects and tasks. The price is also very reasonable and affordable. Only thing I'd suggest Favro improve is to how fast their team replies to tickets. Review Source FE Furkan E. Co-founder E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Favro has predatory customer practices" March 29, 2021 4.0 Pros The UI is acceptable. The general barrier of entry is low. Cons I had a horrible customer experience with Favro. I reduced the number of users for this month from 10 down to 2. The billing page had no clear way to degrade the plan to 2 users and I checked everywhere. The only potential button was for "cancel subscription" which would display the message "lose access to favro". Fearing I would lose all the boards, I didn't do this and assumed that the plan would be automatically degraded. No. The plan automatically upgrades when users are added but doesn't downgrade and the customer service doesn't give your money back. This is downright predatory. With no clear option to reduce and no automatic downgrade, I was charged 60 bucks more than what I should be charged. Slack only charges by the number of active users, I'm sure favro can design a way to count the number of users period. Beware of their practices.

Software developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall experience of using favro is quite good compared to other trackers that I have been using. " May 22, 2018 4.0 It helps us organise our tasks. With multiple people working across the globe, we can find out who is working on what and whats the status of a particular task is. Also, feedback is made easy by commenting on the cards. So, overall it helps us move our project help providing easy collaboration. Pros The ease of use. Moving tickets by dragging and dropping resembles the board where we use sticky notes for tracking tasks. In addition we can add additional description and attachments too that is very helpful. I like the way favro helps me organise our tasks. Cons There should be an option to assign the card to a particular member. There is an option to add members but is not similar to assignee.

I was a little skeptical when first thinking of using it, but now I like it much better than any other task management system I've used! Pros I love the fact that it incorporates a spreadsheet element and "cards" and seamlessly pulls from one to the other. Super easy to wrap my head around that system! Cons There are occasionally little bugs that I run into, but they honestly seem to be really good at updating and fixing those things that I do encounter. Review Source EP Esther P. QA Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use. Constant improvement. You do feel like part of a family due to good customer support." September 20, 2017 4.0 More structure and a better overview for our project. Pros Easy to understand and use. More project structure than in Trello. Report abilities More geared towards scrum with estimations (point system). Clone function. Distinction between backlog and board Templates for boards and collections Copy function Cons Relationship between cards difficult to see and check once a ticket is in a board. Subticket relations are hard to maintain and review. User role/rights management is very rudimentary and needs improving. Customer fields is a welcome feature. Several templates per board or backlog are not possible. Opening a link to card/board/backlog/ etc. will just open that as a singular entity with no ability to move back to the system properly. Checklist items are not detailed on any of the reports just how much items there are in a list. Ability to navigate to the next ticket with a keyboard shortcut. Ability to scroll through pictures if a ticket has more than one attachment. Ticketnumber is not displayed on tickets when in board view. Very little export functions for different systems.

Pros The layout is outstanding and working with a team is great in this platfrom Cons I can not quickly open the program and add things to my lists, the app on my devices require a robust connection to the internet to load the ability to add items. This service is NO good for when i have things pop into my head for me to review later. I still use paper for that and part of the reason i spent this money was to kill the paper in my life...

It is also easy to track time. Cons There is no way (I dont knoww how to) restrict access on deleting cards everywhere. I have deleted cards by accident and needed to be restarted. I should not be allowed to delete the card everywhere Review Source SE Shun E. Graphic designer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuitive and great for tracking individual tasks" October 16, 2018 5.0 It’s a great tool that is easy for an individual contributor to understand and use for tasks . I hear from the side of project managers that it is a little hard to configure sometimes to keep track of all the nuances of projects and tasks. Pros I like the visual format of the software, and the clearly marked columns showing the status of the task(in progress, in review, approved, done, etc). It keeps my managers aware of the status of each of my tasks, and I can choose who to notify. I also like that it notifies people I tag in the comments. Cons As a graphic artist who attaches several images to tasks, the time it takes to load an image on screen for viewing is very slow. I did not encounter this on Trello, so surprising. It needs to be much snappier. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Onboarding Manager Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Functional, but needs some tweaking" October 12, 2018 3.0 We needed a tool to help manage the production of hundreds of website clients. This tool allows for that, and what's more, we can create different boards for the different departments that each project follows through. The problem, however, is that we need to be able to filter reports by member and tag (for productivity reports) but the reports available aren't able to be isolated that way. The drag- drop function also gets tedious when you have more than 10 cards in every row. Pros I like the at-a- glance view of projects and lists. Cons In a company and department like mine that has anywhere from 50-100 separate projects at a time, the board gets lengthy and big very fast. There's no condensed view and the reports you can run are limited. Filtering is nice to show a smaller sampling, but you can't use other functions while viewing workflow in a filter. Review Source AK Andrei K. CTO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Almost perfect project management platform" November 5, 2018 5.0 Pros I have been using Favro for 3 years. What I like most is that the workflow is configured quickly. It's hard to say at once what functions might be useful in the future, so Favro gives you the opportunity to add new functions to an already running workflow. Cons The application for iOS needs to be improved and added the ability to save images. It is also necessary to add the ability to track archived cards (after archiving, they are difficult to find even through a search). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use, and a fairly robust tool for agile development teams." March 22, 2018 4.0 Time tracking (Trello didn't before) Customization. Pros Easy to use. Quick and friendly customer service. Flexible Team Boards to adjust to different teams work flows. Cons Could use a lot of additional features to improve quality of life. New custom fields are almost useless, as you need to re-write the Text String every time. Workflow rules work, but have very limited functionality. Review Source Fernando S. Journalist Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better than Trello to manage my professional and personal projects on a Kanban/scrum approach" September 19, 2017 5.0 I was looking for a online tool to manage my personal and professional projects with a kanbam/scrum aproach. Favro is the best I've found. Pros \- Possibility to separate projects in collections - Possibility to see more than one board on a page - Lanes (payed feature) Cons \- Some small features, like Lanes, are payed; - Price is prohibitive for brazilian users due to the currency converter.
