Pros

“It provides a centralized hub that eliminates communication silos and ensures everyone is on the same page, making it an indispensable part of our project management process.”

Marquita V.

SALES MANAGER

“It successfully eliminates the need for multiple separate apps by bundling message boards, file sharing, and check-ins into an easy-to-use platform. While it lacks advanced project tracking features like subtask hierarchies or task dependencies needed for highly complex projects, it remains a reliable and cost-effective solution for straightforward team coordination.”

Erica R.

Assitant PM

“Project list access, archived items, templates, lineup, and other frequently used features were buried behind search bars and nested menus with no direct navigation”

Drew M.

CEO

Pros

“It's easy to create Story templates and to keep track of all your tasks.”

Josef S.

Technical Support Specialist

“Overall Shortcut has been so helpful in ensuring my team and I stay on top of our tasks.”

Josef S.

Technical Support Specialist

“It offers a wide range of features, including project planning, task management, and collaboration tools.”

Stanis¿aw Z.

Backend Developer

Cons

“Its file storage has limits and the search function can be slow when looking for older files in large projects.”

Gabriella O.

Human resources manager

“It lacks advanced features like Gantt charts, time tracking, or deep reporting out of the box.”

Elena P.

Digital Strategy Senior Specialist

“Every little thing seems to be sending me notifications which is extremely frustrating. If i don't know exactly where my file is located then finding that file is going to be near impossible.”

Gurjeev A.

Business Analyst

Cons

“some mass actions across multiple iterations & flows don't work as expected”

Irina D.

CTO

“The API documentation is not very clear and the options to create a project is missing in the new version of the software. While creating a workflow state it gets very difficult to fetch data via UI.”
