Great tool, we built it badly at first

Good tool. The pricing bands do not suit a team of our size. One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. 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. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What works

Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. Setup was quick.

What does not

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

Client reporting takes minutes now

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. 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. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. Time tracking sits with the tasks, so billing is accurate. 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

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. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

What works

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

Good value, occasional performance problems

It works, we just had to redo our structure after four months of getting it wrong. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. 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. The views are flexible.

What does not

Dollar pricing makes the budget unpredictable. There is no native time tracking.

Simple enough that people actually use it

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

Time tracking in the same tool changed our billing

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. 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. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

Fine for tasks, weak for resourcing

One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. Task management is reliable.

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. 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.
