Productive Software Reviews

Pros

I like how Productive has a lot of features and is still pretty simple to use. The logic behind everything works great almost always, and for me, it became a tool that I use daily without much thought. I see great value in that. I also appreciate the documentation and the whole team behind it.

Cons

My tasks might still be a bit sloppy, but it could just be because of the way we use it in our company. I am not really sure.

Pros

Their features catered to agency needs, the great customer service, budget management, simplified time tracking, and the convenience of budgeting and invoicing in one place.

Cons

I find there is a lack of very top-level resourcing, as I can't get an overview of at least four months within one view.

Pros

The main reason I chose Productive was to be able to track the profitability of each project by assigning a cost to each resource (employee) and tracking billing and expenses on each project. I really appreciate the reporting and customizable dashboard features. I also like that I can email directly to a deal to add entries in the CRM, and the Notion-type documents are a nice touch, though I wish there were more options.

Cons

The CRM is a bit basic. I find notes and follow-ups could be more intuitive and organized. Navigation inside the app is not always clear, and I often find myself searching for the way to get where I need to go. When I try to add time outside the dates of a budget, the error preventing me from adding it is annoying. I would have preferred a warning and the option to add it anyway. I would like to be able to quickly create a task from the time tracking entry on the calendar view if I am working on something that wasn't initially listed. Managing billing and budget is not user-friendly, especially when pre-selling hours.

Pros

Productive includes all the features I wanted and nothing I did not. I used ClickUp for some time, but found it hard to use and customize to my needs. Productive gives me the tools I need to keep projects on track and assigned to the right people, and it provides business metrics that keep me aligned and on-point. It's been a game-changer for me, and I can only see it getting better.

Cons

It is expensive, especially as I add more users. Other products are cheaper, but they are not tailored to what I need, so they end up costing in other ways.

Pros

I find scheduling, task management, and time management very helpful for assisting customers.

Cons

Sometimes it is slow, and after updates, alot of things don't work. Some updates make my job harder.

Pros

This tool is fantastic for project tracking, budgeting, time tracking, and scheduling. It is an all-in-one tool with features that can sync information to different tools, making it very promising and efficient. The Productive support team listens to feedback and quickly responds to inquiries.

Cons

Having tried other project management software, I am grateful to be able to use Productive and there is not a single thing I don't like.

Pros

It is great for staying organized in a large, multi-purpose business.

Cons

I feel it is not integrated with social media as well as it could be.

Pros

Their reporting system is great because it 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.

Pros

I find Productive really simple to use, so effective, and it saves time and energy once you know what you want.

Cons

I don't have anything specific to say here, I did not find anything that bad.

Pros

From project management and task management to time tracking and invoicing, there is not much I don't love about Productive!

Cons

I wish there was a way to better implement email into the product. Right now, email and Productive are separate. Having them tied closer together would help eliminate the need for an additional product.

Pros

Productive is easy to use and uploads documents fast and seamlessly.

Cons

I do not like how tasks under an umbrella task cannot have the same specifics applied, like individual due dates or a single due date for all of them.

Pros

I like the whole scheduling structure, Company -> Project -> Budget -> Service -> Scheduling. It gives me a lot of flexibility, and the team is awesome! They are super easy to reach, very helpful, and have an amazing attitude.

Cons

Insights are pretty complicated when I want to connect data from different sources, though I know it is a challenging topic.

Pros

What I like most about Productive is the dark mode. They really nailed that feature.

Cons

I find the reports useless. Customer service is lacking, and there is a clutter of code. It is buggy.

Pros

I value the time tracking for each team member combined with the project management capabilities.

Cons

For me, it still requires a lot of back and forth between menus to execute some tasks, but it's not something critical.

Pros

I appreciate the frequent updates and changes to the platform. It is getting better with every update, has great customer support, and makes collaboration really smooth!

Cons

Milestones could be a little clearer, but there is nothing I dislike about Productive.io. It gets better with every update.

Pros

It is was easy to set up, user-friendly and responsive to issues.

Cons

There is still some lack of integration and functionality in the CRM, but it is improving. It would be great to integrate with sender.net or Mailchimp, etc.

Pros

Productive is a product management software that offers many useful features, custom workflows, time tracking, resource allocation, and reporting. I consider the resource management tool, which enables effective management of resources (team members and equipment), to be the most valuable.

Cons

Due to the complexity of the application, I find it quite difficult to learn all the features available. Some features are available at a higher price, making the price quite high.

Pros

I can track tasks, estimates, worked time, billable time, revenue, costs, invoices, scheduling, time off, and much more in one tool. Checkups and reporting are easier than ever since I can filter and sort all the parameters I want and just export into .xls, .csv, or .pdf. Their support is easy to reach through the chat integrated into the same tool, and they are really responsive and fast. They constantly improve features, so every few weeks I can expect some beta version to be released and tested with real users.

Cons

I don't like Productive's search functionality. It's not accurate enough or fast enough. Boards and tasks are sometimes hard to manage, especially if the project is big.

Pros

I like that everything is all in one place without the need for multiple software.

Cons

Some features that are a no-brainer, like tracking non-billable proposal hours, should be able to be directly tracked from the sales function instead of having to be tracked as internal hours. But these are nitty-gritty details which should make their way to Productive sometime in the near future.

Pros

Their UI and UX as it covers a lot without overcomplicating the experience. The cost is competitive, and the support service is great. I also like the constant updates and the addition of new features.

Cons

There is still some fine-tuning needed in some areas, so not everything is perfect. But with lots of good updates being rolled out, it shows it's only going to get better.
