Pros

  • The flexibility to create all the boards that you like, and the ability to combine custom rows and columns makes the tool flexible and clean. Also, some great templates add to the impression as well.

  • Above all, Upwave has improved my collaboration with my colleagues--something that is absolutely essential and priceless in our digital age. My sincere thanks to all who are behind this.

  • The ability to move them around easily is my favorite part. Color coding is a great visual cue to rate importance.

  • The product is great for helping as manage our business (a pub) remotely. Easy to use and a great customer service department whenever we need a helping hand.

Cons

  • We used it for about a week then abandoned it. We're very stuck in our way though, so it was mostly us.

  • Every time I had a problem I wrote to customer service and they solved it quickly.

  • I avoided buying a software from a software company as upwave is very simple.

  • I am having problems with archiving. This could be on my end and not software limitations.

Pros: From my knowledge, UpWave is a business operations management software that can help users streamline their tasks and projects, and provide tools for collaboration and communication. It can be a good option for businesses looking for an all-in-one solution for managing their operations.

The software also allows for integration with other tools such as calendars and email, to make it easier for teams to stay organized and on top of their tasks. These are some of the features which could be considered as good in the software.

Cons: UpWave software generally functions well, however, as with any software there may be occasional bugs that arise. The good news is that the development team is quick to address and resolve any issues when they are reported. Overall, the software is reliable and efficient in meeting its intended purpose.

"One of the most user friendly task management tools out there!"

Overall: We were looking for a tool to keep a track of all our tasks and the person responsible for them. Now we are on top of our delevirables and we can even estimate how much time a simillar task would take in the future.

Pros: The software is extremly easy to figure out and intuitive. Tasks can be assigned to an individual or to a team in a few clicks. Their neat UI with different color theme for tasks of different priority make it very easy to find the most pressing tasks first. We now have a much better idea of what our employees are spending their time on and their effeciency at completing tasks

Cons: The platform is quite simple and easy to use, and this is one of its strengths. However, it does lead to it missing out on features that are available with more established players like Asana.
