### "Awesome"

December 14, 2017

4.0

Pros

I like that I can clear emails when they've been dealt with and I don't have to see them again until or unless I need them. Also like the assigning of emails to colleagues.

Cons

I'd like to be able to track my files coming in that I'm not the client owner on and I wish there was some autocorrect on my typing like there is in Outlook.

### "I love this software. It helps me stay on top of everything."

July 10, 2018

5.0

I feel more organized and feel more comfortable communicating with all clients.

Pros

The best thing about this software is the triage. I feel like I can have a big picture of everything that is new or going on at the moment and quickly peruse through all of it. That way I can set priorities for the day and me aware of everything going on in the firm. I feel like nothing slips through the cracks.

Cons

Sometimes I have to go back to my gmail, for example, when I have to download multiple attachments. The "download all" attachments does not work for me. That can get pretty annoying. Additionally, this software needs full commitment from the whole work team. If someone does not use it fully, it does not work as well.

### "It's a game-changer!"

May 1, 2017

5.0

Pros

It is easy to use from the get-go and visually pleasant to be in. I love the continual innovation by the Karbon team. They really do listen.

Cons

I would like the option to be able to un-stack emails as this has caught me out on a couple of occasions. It would also be great to set a time delay on sent emails.

### "Seemless"

December 18, 2017

5.0

Pros

Email integration, and the level and ability of their support team to help with all our issues. They offer fantastic training and are very much there for you when you need them.

Cons

It would be nice to have an internal timer that can be allocated to each project, so we do not have to use external apps.

### "Easy transition and short learning curve"

August 31, 2017

5.0

Pros

I love how it is setup and integrates emails into the software. This is making customer interactions easier to track. The project templates and scheduling is another amazing feature.

Cons

So far the only con would be the fee, but my contact has been awesome in working with me to get my team setup.

### "Amazing to-do-list on top of your inbox!"

August 23, 2017

5.0

Pros

It gives me a very visual view on whats going on with my team and the clients of our company. It is easy to assign a mail/task to a client and to a colleague.

Cons

No support for calender. I still have to jump into my old inbox to accept meeting invitations and to send invitations out.

### "Fantastic approach to workflow management"

December 4, 2017

5.0

Pros

I love how it has now become difficult for something to slip through the cracks. I no longer use Outlook for my emails as Karbon has the functionality that I need.

Cons

I wish there was an on-the-go app instead of having to log into their website when I am not on my computer.

### "Oh, the joy of zero inbox"

December 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Amazing how much mental clutter you can gain by getting rid of your email inbox. Once you've trained yourself to not check triage every 10 minutes (like you would email), it's great to have everything cleared away, allocated or scheduled for future reference. And having the task and work updates automatically reflected in the workflow saves a huge amount of time of having to maintain it manually.

Cons

There are a few things we'd like to see automated, or other dependencies created. For example, ability to automatically reallocate a piece of work to a different individual or change its status once a certain date passes. We're sure it's on the list!

### "Karbon is a great project management tool"

November 8, 2017

5.0

Pros

Ease of use and constantly added features. There is not much leadtime required to get setup and provides a "command and control" feel.

Cons

Lack of Xero integration, which I understand to be a Xero problem, not a Karbon problem. Xero and Karbon need to kiss and make up.

### "Powerful tool for managing workflow"

July 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

This is a great tool to manage communication and projects. It is constantly updating to meet our needs and customer support is always available.

Cons

It might be nice to sort or search your triage in different ways (only because I don't clear my triage as often as I should).

### "Karbon is in a category of its own"

November 7, 2017

4.0

Pros

Smart concept to integrate the unified team inbox with the task and project management system. This unique combination of features puts Karbon in its own app category really, as there are plenty of project and workflow management apps out there, but they don't include the email inbox as an integral aspect, as Karbon does.

Cons

Some missing features are sure to come in time, such as the ability to search on Tasks and not just Work items (projects), Emails and Contacts — and more extensive keyboard shortcuts will be nice, too. The Karbon team are releasing new features on a consistent basis.

### "Karbon Review "

March 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

It’s a one stop shop for organizing your work. You have your work, tasks, contact information, and all of your clients in one software.

Cons

It has to be set up perfectly, or exporting data isn’t as user friendly.

### "Eases my mind that nothing will get dropped"

January 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the visibility into the work that is in process...where does it stand...what are we waiting on to finish. It's a process that we absolutely needed in order to move into the new year knowing that we could continue to grow and not be faced with missed deadlines and dropped projects.

Cons

I would like to see Karbon develop an app that I can use on my phone so that I could go through my triage on my phone when I'm sitting idle like I do when I go through my outlook...the good news is I have heard it's coming...I hope so!!!

### "A modern project management tool"

August 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Karbon has been great to work with and us leaps and bounds above what we were using before. It's intuitive and things can be done on the fly so if you get an email that requires a new job you easily add the new work within about 10 seconds. For the firm needing to go to the next level in project management Karbon is a winner!

Cons

The triage feature takes a little getting used to and I feel like I am managing two inboxes now. It would be nice to have a bit more functionality when writing emailes too

### "Great customer support"

November 14, 2017

5.0

Pros

We have only been running on Karbon for a short period of time but the Karbon team was very proactive and supportive in the whole migration process from our previous task managing system.

Cons

I would appreciate a little more flexibility when it comes to exports and imports. Although the Karbon team was supportive so far in helping us with these, I hope they will eventually be working on this, if not already, in order for us to be more independent regarding this.

### "The best of task management software in the bookkeeping/accounting industry."

May 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

Triage for emails can be allocated as a task to yourself or a colleague. Client tasks (however I haven't used it much yet. Templated projects (work items).

Cons

It doesn't integrate with alot of software like others do in this category. I would love to see it integrated with Pandadoc (proposal writing, digital signing software), xero (for CRM integration), be able to clock in and out inside Karbon for TSheets instead of just recording the duration currently.
