Productive

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.

Cons: It can be a bit complex and time-consuming to get familiar with. However, once you’ve mastered its potential, it’s an investment you’ll never regret.

Pros: The best thing about productive is that it replaces multiple apps (like Time Doctor, Jira, and spreadsheets) with one platform.

Cons: Due to its so many functions, it takes time for teams to fully onboard and get set up. The cost is high but if it works as it's supposed to it will be well worth it!

Pros: Good templates and views that speed up project setup and clean and intuitive user interface that makes navigation easy.

Cons: Reporting and analytics could be more customisable and occasional minor delays when switching between large projects.

Pros: - Very well-structured project and budget management. - Powerful time tracking that helps us monitor work and productivity. - Full control and visibility over project progress from start to finish. - API integrations allow us to import data from our HR application and provide detailed timesheets for clients. - Intuitive interface that makes it easy for the team to adopt. - Reporting features that keep everything transparent.

Cons: - Some features (like invoicing) are not relevant for us, since we use our existing CRM system. - Certain security features are only available in the Ultimate plan, but we cannot fully benefit from the entire scope of that edition as we primarily use Productive for project tracking.

Pros: We work in a lot of different teams and customers. Productive has made the collaboration SO much easier. Easy for customers to understand and for my teams to manage. Project collaboration is great!

Cons: Resourcing can be a bit off, some buggs. Would also love if there was an easier connection with the budget so we don't have to update on two places.

Pros: Customer support overall - your chatbot is exquisite and your team aswell, frequent development of new modules and features, !!!POLARIS!!!, pulse feature and [sensitive content hidden]

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)

Pros: The incredible depth of customization across all elements of Productive. We are able to add custom fields to our user records, our projects, tasks, reporting, you name it! This allows us to handle edge cases within our agency with ease and takes a huge weight off of our operational team's shoulders. The custom permissions options allow us to fine-tune the roles of our teammates who wear multiple hats!

Cons: Occasional medium to high impact bugs - but they're usually fixed very quickly after being reported.

Pros: It has completely changed (in a good way) how we operate as an agency. Productive allows you to view all your key agency data in one place.

Cons: To be honest, nothing really, any feature that we feel is missing is usually already in the roadmap.

Pros: Very clear and on the whole easy to use.

Cons: Time tracking can be a bit fiddly and could be more streamlined.

Pros: Easy to keep track of daily tasks, managing internal resources for projects, holidays.

Cons: The fact that I can't copy the day to day tasks, I have to duplicate a full day. There's certain tasks per day like Admin Work, Slack and Email checks etc. that I would want to add each day to my productive budgets, but you can only duplicate a full day, not just a certain task. By task I mean the bullets under the project itself.

Pros: I've found Productive to be an intuitive project management platform that significantly enhances the agencies productivity, streamlines our workflows, and it enables us to be integrated across all our specialisms. Enhanced settings for time tracking and financial management, and extensive reporting! The support team is FANTASTIC too.

Cons: Productive is constantly releasing new features, so this will most likely be resolved. However, you current can not report on Net Revenue.

Pros: Total end to end solution. Only took a few plays to find the basic functionality, and then a few months to be totally proficient.

Cons: The line that delineates the current day does not update and needs to be refreshed.

Pros: Productive features such as time tracking, time logs, scheduling and planning are crucial for optimized work of a IT development agency.

Cons: Analytics, Project planning, Sales board and 3rd party Integrations could be improved but those are minor things compared the value that Productive brings

Pros: The seamless cross functionality in Productive, from budgets to resourcing, makes it of the top platforms I've used so far in my career.

Cons: I would like more customisation in the resourcing view. For example, I would like to be able to reorder the resources on the left panel instead of the alphabetical order that is locked there now.

Pros: Productive is a tool that brings together an efficient task management system, resource allocation, time tracking, leave request management, budgeting, and CRM under one roof. By integrating all these tools, it provides excellent reporting capabilities and real-time insights into project and company performance.

Cons: It is incredibly modular and rich in data, but for this reason, it can be a bit intricate and not very user-friendly at first. However, with time and some practice, this initial learning curve can be overcome.

Pros: What I liked the most about Productive is how easy it is to use and how it helps me stay consistent with my goals. The reminders are subtle but effective, and the progress tracking is super motivating. It’s great to see how small daily habits add up over time!

Cons: What I liked least about Productive is that some features are locked behind a subscription. While the free version is great, it would be nice to have access to a few more advanced tools without upgrading.

Pros: flexibility to setup easy to use good reporting good support

Cons: UI can be inconsistante, but they are improving

Pros: Very efficient and user friendly tool that caters a broad aspect of agencies' needs: project management, time logs, budgeting, reporting, etc. Amazing customer service (kudos to [sensitive content hidden])!

Cons: It would be great if it was not as expensive, but it's worth it.

Pros: Very friendly interface. Loads of reports possibility's quick with update's and support

Cons: forcing update's without informing. This is now taken care of.

Pros: The balance between flexibility and clarity is so much on point in Productive. We've used a lot of tools before that claim to be flexible but where we eventually hit a major roadblock for our business. On the other hand, we have used more complex tools too but those lack clarity very often. For us, Productive is perfectly on the crossroad of these two very important aspects.

Cons: Sometimes, we think about a feature that would be nice to have and isn't there yet. But almost always, we find it back in the roadmap. A roadmap that is transparent and doesn't overpromise, which we like!

Pros: It feels stable and polished. Jira integration works very well compared to Clockify for example.

Cons: The UI might be simpler. The way how I use it doesn't require all the bells and whistles. What I'm essentially doing is logging the time for given tasks within projects.

Pros: I like how Productive has a lot of features and is still pretty simple to use. The logic behind everything works great almost always, and for me it became a tool that I use daily without much thought. I see great value in that. I also appreciate the documentation and the whole team behind.

Cons: Tasks are maybe still a bit sloppy, but maybe it's just because of the way we use it in the company. I'm not really sure.

Pros: Productive includes all the features we wanted and nothing we didn't. We used ClickUp for some time, but found it was hard to use and customise to our needs. Productive gives us the tools we need to keep projects on track and assigned to the right people and gives us business metrics that keep us aligned and on-point. It's been a game-changer for us, and we can only see it getting better.

Cons: Productive is expensive, especially as you add more users. Other products are cheaper, but they aren't tailored to what we need, so they end up costing in other ways.
