    Pros
    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.
    Really great task management software with good ui. Regularly adding features and improving the product.
    Really good and it solves so many problems for me (with great customer care).
    Cons
    This process can be convoluted and annoying at time. Dont understand why things can only be archived.
    I thought the software was difficult to understand, so did my team.
    There are SERIOUS bugs that totally defeat the purpose of using this product. All of these I've brought to their attention but they have dragged their heels on fixing.

    Reviewed 7 years ago

    productivity

    Pros

    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.

    Cons

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

    Being intuitively productive

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Productive has been my go to product from the start to track my time, manage my budgets and create my invoices. Having 1 product that can do all these things (and more) gives me, as the end user, a peace of mind.

    Pros

    The intuitiveness. Even the most complex features of the product are being made very easy to use.

    Cons

    Honestly, none I can think of currently.

    Disappointing reporting clutter and slow service

    Reviewed a year ago

    Very bad. They promise a lot, but it seems that it's not possible to actually produce the reports that they promise to be able to.

    Pros

    What I like most about productive is the Dark mode. They nailed that frature.

    Cons

    Useless reports. Customer service. Clutter of code. Buggy.

    A great project management tool for us

    Reviewed 4 years ago
    Pros

    For us it is one of the best options out there. And I recommend it especially if you want to better understand, analyse and forecast the profitability per resources, services offered, projects and tasks. In terms of task management it works smooth and easy, like any other premium task manager. The big differentiation comes in terms of budget tracking, expenses and resources overview. In the past 1.5 years since we use Productive.io it helped us to see some trends in terms of services that are profitable and see which clients / projects are not profitable. This way we managed to improve the overall performance of our business.

    Cons

    - The onboarding / initial setup can take a bit. Nothing too bad, but you might need a couple of days to get used with the UX.

    The most feature-rich, easy to use PM we've ever used

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    Overall, we are extremely happy with this tool. We tested 30 other products before committing to this, and its the best business decision we've made.

    Pros

    We became an early client of these folks a few years ago. They are constantly rolling out new features, including a lot of specific requests we've made to them. They ALWAYS respond to our requests and update us on their status. They have, far-and-away, the most responsive customer service of any SAAS product we subscribe to. And the product is head and shoulders above any of the other tools we used over the years (we've trued dozens including all the big ones you've heard of)

    Cons

    It's meant to be an end-to-end solution for small-ish agencies. So beyond project management, there's financial reporting, invoicing, expense tracking (including Quickbooks integration), and sales tracking. The Sales tool is probably the least developed. It works great, and we use it, but it would be nice if it were more tightly integrated with the rest of the tool so revenue forecaster would be more accurate. There are a number of customization features, so were able to cobble together an adaquate tool (we previously used both Salesforce and Hubspot)
