Time tracking in the same tool changed our billing

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking. Time tracking sits with the tasks, so billing is accurate.

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

Simple enough that people actually use it

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking. Client facing views mean fewer status emails.

What does not

Reporting is weaker than the task management.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

Client reporting takes minutes now

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road. Templates mean a new project is set up in minutes.

What does not

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

Fine for tasks, weak for resourcing

Good tool. The pricing bands do not suit a team of our size. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Task management is reliable.

What does not

Performance degrades on a large workspace. Dollar pricing makes the budget unpredictable.

Great tool, we built it badly at first

Half the team lives in it and half still work from email. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.
