Avaliações do Productive

Really simple to use and so effective and saves time and energy of you know what you want.

Nothing specific to say here, did not find something that is that bad.

Great product that is easy to use with a nice inteface. Love the updated design and we rely most on the project management and time reporting function. They work really well.

Kind of expensive if you have a bigger team. Works good for us since we are a small team.

Productive gives us an all-in-one view of our current and forecasted capacity, ideal for tracking team time, availability and profitability. Lots of insights available to help inform our business and excellent and reactive customer support team

We've had to implement a number of workarounds as it wasn't really designed for PR agencies with monthly retainers, more for project-based resourcing at ad/creative agencies. Also the holy grail is to link time (hours) and money (billings) into one view rather than separating them out - that is apparently in the roadmap but has been for a while!

The thing I liked most is the speed and design of the UI/UX alongside the feature set. We have tried most PM tools and this covers all that and more to help us run more efficiently and see the data we need.

I would really have to dig to find something I didn't like about the software. Most of the issues fell on me at the beginning with ways I should have been operating my agency before getting on Productive. So really there is nothing that I dislike.

I love the reporting system that provides me with actionable data so I can make more informed decisions and optimize profitability.

I sometimes have difficulty customizing certain aspects of the platform especially when it comes to the user interface.

Easy to use and uploads documents fast and seemlessly.

Don’t like how tasks under an umbrella task can’t have the same specifics applied (ie r for tasks to individual due dates or a single due date for all of them)

The time tracking for each team member combined with the project management.

For me, it still needs a lot of back and forwards between the menus to execute some tasks. But it's not something critical.

The features are designed for an agency so we use most of them, all day, every day. What we really like is:
1. The user interface is superb - intuitive and fast to use. The best we have seen.
2. Help files and customer services is excellent. There hasn't been a question without a really satisfactory answer.
There isn't another system we use that is anywhere near as easy to use as Productive is.
Remote working puts more pressure on the system and it has supported the team now spread out over thousands of miles.

Not much - would like slightly more customisable templates to allow us to add more text and graphics to them.

I've used Productive for the past 7 months and it's been very, very helpful. As a project manager it offers you a great way to keep an eye on your running projects, upcoming deadlines, internal planning and much, much more.

Besides that I must say that the customer service offered by Productive is the best I've experienced in my career so far. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team are simply amazing, doing a great job assisting your every need and are more than happy to jump on a video call to help you out when needed.

When asked to help me with a financial overview by using 'Insights' [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] immediately took the liberty to create some overviews to show me what Productive is capable of which helped me out a lot.

In all honesty I didn't miss a feature. The team is constantly updating Productive as it is and if you have useful feedback they'll implement this within a few months. It's perfect.

Productive enables me to keep everything in one place; all the way from ideation, budgeting, project management to expense tracking. It strikes the right balance between powerful features and ease of use. I love using Productive, especially features such as Insights which really position it as a unique tool on the market.

Productive is best utilized when the entire organization is actively using the tool. Buy-in from most if not all internal stakeholders is highly recommended.

I've implemented Productive as a project management tool into my company ENTG 3 years ago. We are providing numerous digital services to our clients and big chunk of that is also production. When I tried it it was still in the early phases but basics as task and time management and contacts were covered. Since then, Productive had upgraded by listening to it's users like us into a tool that you can use for running a whole organization. We have our sales pipeline, our project management and profitability reports, scheduling from recently and even invoices creation through 1 click. Would really warmly recommend it to everyone that don't feel like bothering and paying to 5 different systems in order to get the same results that Productive can make in just one.

Mobile app is still not performing in the optimium experience like the web app, but it's still very usable and improving daily.

Productive as a One stop shop for agencies is so easy to use and has a solid stack of features

Some small stuff that is missing, but I know that you guys are on it.

Connecting my words with photos using just one monkey :)
Schedule option is great too, and I like and use a lot of custom tags.

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?

Future-focussed and a modern software for agencies

Hard to make full use of Productive and some features - such as the sales funnel - don't act enough like a CRM.

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.

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).

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!

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.

Productive worked great for us at the beginning, and really helped us to keep track of our projects and costs.

Pricing was a bit high compared to other tools and there were some features missing like real time board updates.

It's simply great value for money, it gives you tons of features in a very easy to use interface. Wholly recommended.

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

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.

The invoicing features! We can't make our invoices like we want to and have to do double work now. :(
