### "Streamline Your Business Operations with this All-in-One Software Solution"

January 29, 2023

3.0

UpWave is a comprehensive management tool that streamlines your workflows and enables efficient distribution and tracking of tasks among teams. With its user-friendly interface and ability to break down complex tasks into manageable chunks, it saves valuable time and enhances productivity. The versatile system is ideal for small to medium-sized companies looking to optimize their management processes and increase overall efficiency.

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 website claims that it is user-friendly and easy to navigate, it allows to manage projects, teams, and tasks in one place, and also it has features for communication and collaboration, such as chat and commenting. 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.

### "Easy to use and powerful alternative for project managment & collaboration"

February 26, 2020

5.0

We use the product for day-to-day projects internally and towards clients across a wide variety of different project types. Upwave have preformed great in all areas where we have used it, and we are looking forward to the upcoming features as well.

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

Cons

The lack of a GANTT-chart option and a portfolio overview solution is kind of limiting, but I know the team is working on this.

We're very happy to have found Upwave and we find it worth the cost.

### "Maximum Collaboration "

October 28, 2019

5.0

Upwave became the one stop shop for collaboration and tracking progress on projects. Also, the customer service team has been very helpful, offering tips so we are able to maximize functionality and productivity.

Pros

Upwave has replaced all of our other organizational software tools, and it has become a center for continuous improvement and innovation. The clean interface promotes accountability and drives issue resolution. Also, it is the perfect tool for managing stakeholder engagement. There is never any confusion because of channels of communication. As a result, our project teams have become much more efficient and productive.

Cons

The customer service team at Upwave addressed any complaints I had, tailoring the software to meet the needs of our team.

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

January 16, 2019

5.0

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.

### "UpWave is a better looking Trello"

November 7, 2018

4.0

UpWave is a solid contender to Trello, and the advantage I see is that UpWave can have the flexibility of having boards align any way you want, something that I found useful for having an important board. Notifications were solid on UpWave as well, giving me notifications within the app and to my e-mail. Would highly recommend UpWave to anyone looking for a Kanban type setup for their company's to-do management.

Pros

UpWave is a lot like trello and does it well when it comes to Kanban To-Do Boards. It's dead simple to use, just create a board(s) and then create tasks which are cards. Simply move them between the boards to track progress. The design of UpWave is super minimal, which is strikingly pleasant to look at if you're working within UpWave all throughout the day. Beyond the UX/UI and design, I really like how UpWave can align boards in whichever way you want, something that Trello does not have. You can align boards to the right and left, and also have one on the bottom, this might be useful for having eyes on a bug board, or support ticket board, or another board that should have all people have eyes on it throughout the day.

Cons

UpWave is super simple to use, and nothing to dislike.

### "It's simplicity is definitely an asset"

May 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like that it's approachable. However it isn't short of more advance features such as Slack integration

Cons

It's a nice readable ui, but could do with a bit of a refresh.

### "Flexibile & Easy to use and also fits your processes"

November 30, 2018

4.0

I just love this software, I give me clear picture to manage my any project. I just feel free after all my task & project in it. I can easily track my project and work according to set timeline.

Pros

Easy to use, easy to manage your project as well as team. All the things that you want is provide by this software. Can easily manage & track your project work as well as you can track your team members task process. and its card(task) movable features is just amazing, you can easily process your task from one to next level. all the history is completely and clearly can viewed using this software.

Cons

Talking about the least like about this software, When you set the due date for your task whatever you time you choose it is always showing its default time 12:00 AM, due to that we can not manage what is the actual time we spent in that particular through out the process flow of your project.

### "A fancy solution to remind your tasks"

December 14, 2018

5.0

i use UpWave in my job to coordinate new projects, (i work in a cultural agency) wich allows me to share what i want with my team in an easy-visual way.

Pros

UpWave is a task manager software where you can organize all the activities (and goals) you want to achieve in the month. You can even set up a timer to measure how much you spend on each activity. What i like the most is the visual and intuitive interface that allows you to use all the tools without boring tutorials.

Cons

The italian language isnt available. I wish it could be available because i work online with people from different countries, Italy inlcluded.

Pros

It offers a way to visualize your project progress in a really good manner.

Cons

I lack the android, iOs app

Pros

User experience. Ease of adding external collaborators. Stability of the system. Responsiveness of the team

I have no real problems with the software really. It fits the needs of a distributed team quite nicely. As a quite horizontal tool it may be lacking in some respects if you have specific domain needs

### "UpWave has helped keep us organized!"

February 22, 2017

5.0

With three people doing sharing a lot of job responsibility, it has helped us to streamline our day-to-day and communicate better. Now we are able to enter in tasks and assign them to each other as well as assign a due date. This helps with time management and prioritizing certain tasks over others. We've had a few questions in the past and customer service has been quick to respond with suggestions to help our work flow.

Pros

Easy to use Helps work flow Task oriented Can be used simultaneously by multiple users

Cons

Not the most aesthetically pleasing work space (but it doesn't really matter since it's so easy to use).

We tried Google Calendar, Trello and another that name that I forgot. UpWave was the best, no doubt

Pros
