Pros

AF

Andrea F.

Founder

AF

Pros

“Productive provides many different solutions that most Service Companies need, in one place, allowing multiple team members from different departments to have everything under control.”
GG

Guglielmo G.

Chief Growth Officer

“I love all of the updates and developments, the use of AI and automations across the tool is making task management and in general project management so much easier and more efficient.”
HW

Helen W.

Delivery Manager

“It allows us to track resources, costs, and progress in one place, giving us full control over our projects and saving significant time compared to using separate tools.”
LS

Leo S.

Technical Director

Cons

“Customization doesn’t go far enough, for example I can’t switch to another invoicing template (subcontracting) without having to go to settings and change the company logo for all invoices.”
BS

Boris S.

Webdesigner

“The mobile app does not have enough features from the web-version, I especially miss being able to invoice unbilled time for my projects, without having to go to the website.”
KG

Kristian G.

Motion Graphic Designer

“The mobile app needs more refinement. As i invite guests over to my project dashboard, I am currently unable to notify them whenever I post a comment.”
MW

Manuel W.

WordPress Consultant and Webdesigner

Cons

“DOCs, limited nesting of tasks (subtask cannot have another subtask), missing template center for reports, few specific things for our country in invoicing (double tax for both currencies etc)”
RT

Robert T.

COO

“Some features (like invoicing) are not relevant for us, since we use our existing CRM system.”
LS

Leo S.

Technical Director

“It can be a bit complex and time-consuming to get familiar with.”
