PMO Lead
South AfricaMidrand11 to 50 employeesWe 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. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.
What works
Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams.
What does not
Reporting is weaker than the task management.
SFSarah FletcherVerified
Operations Director
South AfricaRichards Bay500 plus employeesWe rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. 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
A free tier good enough to run a small business on. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road.
What does not
Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

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
Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. 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.

NSNkateko SitholeVerified
Warehouse Manager
South AfricaSandton51 to 200 employeesHalf the team lives in it and half still work from email. 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. Task management is reliable.
What does not
There is no native time tracking. The learning curve for the advanced features is real.

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