Managing director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product " April 11, 2022 5.0 Pros Really great task management software with good ui. Regularly adding features and improving the product. I am a big fan. Cons Better ui for sales would be good. Overall though the product is valuable for my team. Reason for choosing Productive More features, outgrew favro Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use, user-friendly interface, nice design, has much useful stuff." March 15, 2018 5.0 Pros Connecting my words with photos using just one monkey :) Schedule option is great too, and I like and use a lot of custom tags. Cons Boards. Let's say, one project has 5 boards, and when moving tasks from one board to another, I don't know where does it go. It's easy if I'm the owner of the project, but when I'm doing some things in other project, I just don't know where to put it. Suggestion - maybe when the user is in one board, he can just see task lists from that board? Review Source TV Tim V. Business Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review" April 12, 2022 4.0 We are implementing our entire project journey in Productive, as said above from sales towards invoicing. This goes quite smoothly, although fixing errors in the process is not always easy. Pros If everything is configured properly, the flow of a project is very easy, from sales over project management towards invoicing, everything works very nicely. Cons It is not very customizable, although they are working on it. Review Source ED Emma D. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Productive productive!" February 17, 2022 4.0 Pros Future-focussed and a modern software for agencies Cons Hard to make full use of Productive and some features - such as the sales funnel - don't act enough like a CRM. Reason for choosing Productive Because it had a development roadmap and was modern Switched from [Studiometry](https://www.capterra.com/p/198600/Studiometry/) To move away from outdated software Review Source JG Jonathan G. Director Of Operations Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Productive Is Awesome" March 16, 2020 5.0 Pros I've been in the advertising marketing business on the operations side for over 25 years. I've seen and used lots of Project/Financial/Resource Management software in my day, and this is by far the best one I've used. It It was easy to set up, user friendly and has great, actionable data. Cons The only con is the way hours are entered into the Resource Scheduling area. Its requires manual calculations that are a bit laborious. Review Source OF Oscar F. Data Analyst Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Productive Review " April 4, 2021 3.0 It is a cool tool and I see a lot of value. I would recommend looking at your competitors and find a way to make it more user friendly from the start. I would recommend having a "how to" section for first time users to learn more about the software. Pros I thought this software offers more useful features than its competitors. The price is great. I like that you can assign team members and clients to tasks. Cons I thought the software was difficult to understand, so did my team. As the admin, I wish I got more of an overview of everyone in each project. I felt like I had to search a lot to find the information I wanted.

Review Source KW Kerry W. PS Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's an OK Product" January 13, 2022 3.0 I think it is great for the overall management of project and tracking time, but as I stated above not great for fixes on the conversion end. Pros It has a great option to track your time management per project which is great for reporting purposes. Cons I am the tester for our conversions and there is not a good way for the conversion person and me to see what has not been done on fixes for our conversion and what I need to test. We used Jira for this in the past and it was a much better tool for us in this capacity. Review Source JG Jane G. Owner Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Nice interface and easy to use, lots of features" May 11, 2018 5.0 Pros The interface is exactly what I need, easy to use and find what I'm looking for. Also allows the team to communicate with the client and get feedback. You can assign tasks, view the calendar, upload files, and I like that you can reply via email and that there's Time Tracking included. Also like that there's a free 30 day trial that doesn't require you to add your credit card. One thing that really stands out from the rest is the Sales section, you can see where you've submitted Proposals (including estimate amount) and see them 'In Negotiation' so you can keep track of projects that aren't even started yet - and then convert them to Projects. Cons The fact that they charge per user is not all that great because the amount of users changes all the time, depending on the project, so there's no way to plan your monthly budget (if you're a small company that matters). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Group Director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive and accessible" March 15, 2018 5.0 Organization and collaboration with my team. Pros Like how I can access it from anywhere with the mobile app or from any browser. Great tool for sharing projects with team mates in real time. Great project management tool! Cons Wish there was a way to create a unique number for each project to track projects numerically as new projects come in and make it easier to archive and retrieve in the future. Review Source Response from Productive March 21, 2018 Hi there, As you know, Projects are basically containers within Productive that hold Budgets. Since you can have multiple budgets within each project, we put more importance on the budgets themselves. The number you are looking for is on the budgets, not projects. Jerko S. Business Development Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A must-have business tool for a software development agency." March 15, 2018 5.0 Financial insight, time tracking, invoicing etc. Pros I love the time tracking, budgeting, reporting, invoicing features. From a managers standpoint, this software covers all our business needs. The reporting system gives us an in-depth review in terms of cost/ revenue structure, profitability, time spent, project success, employee utilization etc. The data really helps us make better business decisions. Cons Our developers struggle using the task management feature, and we're currently developing a new framework that can easily be used in Productive. Review Source ana N. Sales associate Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "The definitive tool to manage and optimize." September 20, 2023 5.0 I love it because being able to manage tasks, track time, share documents and plan resources from one place has greatly simplified the way I work. Pros I love the reporting system that provides me with actionable data so I can make more informed decisions and optimize profitability. Cons I sometimes have difficulty customizing certain aspects of the platform especially when it comes to the user interface. Review Source VC Vibor C. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Professional. Approachable. Friendly. Helpful." June 15, 2018 5.0 Pros It really has the potential to unify the agency processes and eliminate the need for several tools. It brings together time tracking, project management, CRM and sales, financials, invoicing. One of the really cool options is the fact that you can use as much or as little features that you need. You adjust the software to your sales and business process not the other way around. A special hat-tip goes to the support team. They were readily available, helpful, really went an extra mile to help out, even came to our office and did a presentation and training even before we signed up for the software. I am in this industry for more than a decade and rarely does one see support team with so much passion about their product and their willingness to explain all the possible details. Highly recommended! Cons In some rare occasions there are minor issues with synchonisation between time entries made from the website, mobile app and desktop widget. However, when we reported those issues, team was quick to fix them and continiously offered help. Review Source MB Maciej B. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good product to start your journey with professional project budgeting and resource allocation " April 11, 2022 5.0 Pros Very nice designed, esy to use, many options. Cons Not possible to make small adjustments - you buy what you have. Review Source Robin V. Co-owner & Strategy Director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Innovative all-in-one solution for agencies in the creative industry " May 25, 2018 4.0 Pros \- All-in-one solution - The help/support of the team - Reporting options and financial insights - The clear flow from sales pipeline to project Cons \- Invoicing/quotation features limited - Dashboard view is not visual/customizable enough - Project management features are limited - Roles and user rights are not customizable enough - The Desktop App is more 'buggy' then the browser version - Integration with local finance software (Yuki) Review Source KV Kateřina V. Study Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Productive Review" March 17, 2023 4.0 Pros Productive is a product management software which offers many useful features, custom workflows, time tracking, resource allocation or reporting. As the most valuable I consider the resource management tool which enables to manage the resources (team members, equipment) effectively. Cons Due to the complexity of the application It is quite difficult to learn using all the features available. Some features are available at a higher price, so the price can be quite high. Review Source MP Mauricio P. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool, but a bit expensive" July 17, 2020 5.0 Pros Productive worked great for us at the beginning, and really helped us to keep track of our projects and costs. Cons Pricing was a bit high compared to other tools and there were some features missing like real time board updates. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great customer service team, gabrijeila was amazing" May 24, 2018 4.0 Pros easy to pick up and onboard team members, we switched from another program and uploading tasks was a breeze Cons inability to easily delete tasks. this process can be convoluted and annoying at time. Dont understand why things can only be archived Review Source Response from Productive May 28, 2018 Hi there, Thanks for the honest review. It could be our fault for not informing you properly, but you can delete tasks as well from now on! VG Velimir G. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great tool that gets the work done, while being easy to use." March 15, 2018 5.0 Better insight in our business. Pros UX details that make everyday tasks like logging time simpler. And, over time, getting more and more simple, taking fewer and fewer clicks to perform the desired action. Cons It's "opinionated" in the sense of data/information architecture (clients/budgets/expenses/invoices/etc. - you have to follow the logic of the application). Review Source Filip G. Content Marketer Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great package for a small fee" March 12, 2018 5.0 Pros It's simply great value for money, it gives you tons of features in a very easy to use interface. Wholly recommended. Cons The only thing is that it's meant more for agencies with more staff whereas I tend to use it solo for 90% of the time, which means some features go unused Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Developer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Finally. A productivity solution that works for or company." March 12, 2018 4.0 Pros I appreciate the built-in time management. The ability to bill to two different business entities is crucial for our combined organization. Cons The design could use some polish. No notes on individual tasks. Really, though, my biggest hang up is the design is not great. Review Source PO Paolo O. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful." September 9, 2019 5.0 good. Pros Productive is a good product to track projects and time spent on it. Cons Strict methodology brings some rigidity. Review Source Quendoline J. UX Consultant | Kwaliteitsmanager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I really like the tool as a designer, but have my doubts as a projectmanager " March 15, 2018 4.0 Pros The time tracking and the insights. we almost never forget to track our hours and i can see easily how much time we spend on each project. Cons The invoicing features! We can't make our invoices like we want to and have to do double work now. :( Review Source BV Boris V. Director Government Relations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "All-in-one agency management software" March 19, 2018 4.0 Productive.io offers us a framework to run our business in and all the tools to manage it. Pros Integrated sales, project management, time tracking, team scheduling and invoicing software. Most of the tools you need to manage an agency in one. If you want to run your agency the Productive.io way, this tool will integrate your whole business. Cons The tool does everything. Which means that you'll be best of running your business and using the tool exactly as the developers intended, which takes some getting used to. For a tool that is meant to do everything it doesn't really cater to the power-user a lot, there are few keyboard shortcuts and you'll be clicking a log. The tool can be buggy and slow at times. And there is no off-line support. Using Productive.io will create a HUGE single point of failure for your company. Review Source Milena J. Managing partner and Social Media Marketing Manager Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Productive is a great tool for organization of processes and projects in an agency. " March 12, 2018 5.0 Pros It eliminates email from the process and provides an effective way to track profitability and hours Cons The closing of a project is somewhat unfortunate and the notification process could be integrated into the browser. Review Source CB Camille B. Project Manager Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Productive.io helped us organize better our work and made collaboration easier with our team members" March 13, 2018 5.0 \- Better team organization - Better project management - Better time tracking Pros The main features are awesome and so far we've used almost daily the task list, time tracking, sales board and the project's management section. We're also very happy with the customer service provided by Productive.io Cons I'd like to be able to customize more our quotes (ie: change colors, fonts, layout, add additional text like our terms and conditions etc.). Sometimes, I'm also confused about small details (where to click, what's the link between sales, projects, the pricing ie: hourly or not), but in a few weeks we've already seen the software update and improve a lot so we're convinced the team behind Productive.io is working making everything on point.
