Redbooth, the perfect platform for organizing team projects.
Comments: We are able to communicate more easily about our projects, and keep track of which assignments are upcoming and who's working on them with you.
Pros:
Redbooth is a platform that we use to keep track of our team projects. With Redbooth we are able to see who is all working on the same project and which portion is assigned to each team member. Within the platform we are able to talk among each other about the project that we're working on. Redbooth increases our workflow by allowing us to find all of our information easily and giving us the ability to correlate with each other on our projects. Additionally, Redbooth notifications can be pushed through to your email account, so you never have to miss any information or update on your projects.
Cons:
Sometimes the push notifications to your email account can appear to be messy if there's a lot going on in one task. This isn't too much of an issue though, since you can just open Redbooth from your email and view all the information there, in a much more clean space.
Redbooth
Comments: It's a good experience. You get what you pay for. Maybe another features can be added. But overall good platform to organize your day to day tasks.
Pros:
What I like the most is the easy way to start with the software, it doesn't need a lot of skills to build your projects and its easy to work with your team in the platform.
Cons:
I believe that a cool feature they could add is the ability to communicate with your clients thought the platform as well, something that integrates clients emails with the project management software. That is a life-changer feature that will make more agency/small business to be interested in this software.
Stability
Comments: Solved and helped our organization greatly, just not dependable for the long term.
Pros:
Easy to use and function access platforms
Cons:
hard and fast support issues not resolved, locked out of account with no recourse other than regenerating the organization from scratch, no backup.
We Love to Collaborate on Redbooth
Comments: When projects are managed in a professional way, it surely creates synergy. We have achieved much by using Redbooth. It is considered the backbone of the company.
Pros:
The best feature that I like about Redbooth is its ease of use. Wherever I go I have my laptop with me, I need to connect to the internet and Booom... I can have a look at all the projects and track progress. It is easy to assign people to different tasks. Urgent tasks can be easily prioritized and team members can see the tags and go after the high-priority tasks. The user interface is friendly and it is easy to learn. We have created different channels and put a lot of data on Redbooth. We're happy!!!
Cons:
The task resolve/unresolve creates confusion for new users. When a task is resolved but needs some work, the assignees don't get notified. I think this should change and there should be some other way to do it.
A Solid Option for Task Management
Comments: Redbooth is as strong as the amount of users who commit to it. We struggle to get everyone on board, and therefore a lot of task management still has to happen over email and text. However, on teams who have really bought into the software, Redbooth offers everything we need.
Pros:
The layout of Redbooth, with horizontal columns that are flexible and moveable, has given us a really great way to organize our tasks, and schedule out a variety of time-based tasks and travel appointments. We also make use of the robust tagging and notification options within the software to manage our tasks appropriately across a 20+ member team.
Cons:
A weak point of Redbooth is definitely the calendar view options. We really need the ability to view tasks on a calendar that are only under a specific tag, or viewing tasks for a single person across all workspaces. We also run into some issues with Word documents not displaying properly in the web interface, which just adds another step to download and look at a document when all you need is just to see it at a glance.
My opinion
Pros:
This tools helps to maintain communication with the team and provides updates on the tasks
Cons:
It can be complex if you are not familiar with the tool. My recommendation is to watch the videos in order to understand the tool functionality
RB Review
Pros:
Simple layout and very easy to follow was a great freature appealing to me
Cons:
Just like pro - very simple. Limit of internal controls of invoice control
Great for Project/Task Management
Pros:
User interface, ease of use, dashboard organization, commenting ability
Cons:
It can be a bit pricey for smaller departments or organizations
great way to keep project schedules organized, still needs work
Pros:
its a really useful way to keep my teams projects organized by schedule dates, with comments, assignments and reports.
Cons:
missing scheduling by time and not only date. Also the ability to show you a task everyday if you scheduled it for an entire week and not only to show it on the delivery date.
Really good
Comments: In general very good for the management of any project and its activities
Pros:
Of the best platforms for project management, activities and times. Very good to get reports of hours in tasks and generate diagrams for deliveries
Cons:
Only that you do not have a free option.
+3 years using it. Always helped, but with a pinch of frustration.
Pros:
Incredibly versatile, one-man-band type of collaboration software. It ties communication tools (HD videoconference and chat) with task management (recurring tasks, subtasks, ...), project management (lightweight Gantt chart, workload view and time tracking), all native, in one package. It also features native Android and iOS native apps. These work well for keeping in touch with the team and create/update tasks. This is specially important for teams who are dispersed (different cities, different timezones, ...). While you can easily spend hundreds of dollars on different softwares for different purposes, Redbooth ties it all together in one.
Cons:
They've been through a lot of changes over these 3-4 years and they don't seem to have found their core yet. The UI still looks something out of the first drafts and doesn't look polished or slick like other players in the collaboration space like Asana or Slack. The Dashboard is somewhat useless and just mimics a prettier email inbox while having the same behavior. Their premise of replacing email is a bit doubtful. Lots of potential, but doesn't seem to go anywhere.
redbooth Feedback
Comments: Website creation with users in different time zones. Was an efficient tool to track tasks and timing.
Pros:
Great flexibility to conduct complex projects with multi users. Ability to assign tasks, priorities defined by the users. Excellent tool for remote teams working on several threads while managing expectations (deliverable contents, time).
Cons:
The software is complete as such. However, a better tutorial for new users would be useful.

Hi Marc, We are glad you have enjoyed using Redbooth for remote team project management. Thanks for the feedback on the better tutorials for new users, we are working on some new content specifically for new users! Cheers, Ryan
I use Redbooth daily to keep track of projects. It has been easy to coordinate projects with my cowo
Pros:
I like that I get email notifications when coworkers make notes to a task and I can reply to the email and my comment automatically gets put on the task.
Cons:
You can't sort your tasks on the dashboard and you can't have the same task in multiple workspaces unless you copy the task but then the comments don't follow.
Asana, but better
Comments:
Switching to Redbooth distilled my typical workflow into one simple interface. Video conferencing is more intuitive and more flexible than Skype, and having the smartphone and iPad apps makes transitioning from office --> home office --> being on the go completely seamless from the collaboration side. I never feel out of the loop and can stay in touch with the rest of the team wherever I am.
As far as ease of use - the interface gets an A+ for being intuitive. If you are a heavy Evernote user this interface will make sense to you.
Pros:
- HD video conference with chat and screen share is the best of Skype & Join.me, all inside one system
- communicates with Google Calendar
-toggles between multiple organizations easily
- tagging feature - excellent within a large team
- HD video conferencing works with users and non-users via link sharing - huge bonus
- easy file sharing without email or Dropbox
- reporting feature for a bird's eye view of task management
- optional recording on HC video conferencing - this is great for creating training material, explaining complex projects that need review, or creating video content
Cons:
- Looking forward to additional HD conference features but thus far this is the best collaboration tool I've used
Redbooth review
Comments: Overall Redbooth is a great service, just very poor customer support
Pros:
The ability to share information and files with the company. The interaction available to work as a team on a product or project.
Cons:
Customer Support was almost non existent. Whenever I had an issue or question it was a major undertaking to get help.
great coordination tool
Comments: knowledge of the progress on several different projects
Pros:
i like the connection with the email , and task assignment
Cons:
maybe the tons of email with problem to properly show it on the screen, each time we need to download picks for each email
Love RedBooth for its Ease of Use
Comments: Love Redbooth!
Pros:
Very Easy to use and a great tool for collaboration. Perfect for a start up!
Cons:
Capacity per employee is hard to track using this tool and reporting
Good collaboration & employee onboarding platform
Pros:
A collaboration tool that is good for dispersed teams, getting employees ramped up quickly and for storing documents. You can also integrate your Zoom technology with the platform. I like the Chrome Extension as well so I can access it quickly.
Cons:
The chrome extension offers limited actions. For example, you can't set up a meeting from it so you have to go to the browser to do so. Other than that, it is easy to use.
Great organizing tool
Pros:
For any company keeping track of deadlines is an important task, redbooth makes it much easier to do that. It makes everything organized and using templates is a breeze.
Cons:
Free version on redbooth only gives us access to two boars, might be difficult for freelancers and people on a budget.
Best Solution
Comments: I did quite a bit of research on my own of different project management sites and apps, and Redbooth was the only option that had the scope of features I needed for a reasonable price. I use an Android mobile device and an Apple computer. My clients typically are on an iOS mobile device and PC computer. Redbooth features are simple and concise enough that I can quickly and efficiently navigate through, but with plenty of functionality. I am in an email-heavy industry and Redbooth will allow us to operate more efficiently with the internal messaging commenting/status features which will also reduce email volume.
Pros:
Functionality and features for PC, Android and Mac/iOS platforms. Calendar sharing. Internal messaging and simplified workspaces.
Cons:
Administrator settings are slightly tedious.
Redbooth
Pros:
Has the features that competing tools have but manages to work them out even better.
Cons:
Has free trial which is great, but can be expensive for full program making it a bit difficult to get ones hands on.
Best Combo of Ease of Use, Power & Graphic Design out there ..
Comments: I tested about 25 different task trackers; and we decided on Redbooth just do to its general usability to track tasks across multiple projects by both internal and external staff. We had tried Asana - but in the end; no one used it .. to cumbersome, ugly and more complicated then our staff needed or could handle. Redbooth ws the 3rd little bears bed that just fit right :)
Pros:
Design Ease of Use Power
Cons:
Time tracking not linked into a more powerful engine Could use a more robust calendar.
A very solid product that just got even better with the new version!
Comments: We used to use email or Sharepoint for collaboration, email was too limited and had no accountability, and Sharepoint was way too expensive and complex. Teambox helps us to stay connected, assign and mon
Pros:
The new version 4 is a dramatic improvement. We found it to be much faster and more intuitive than previous versions.
Cons:
Want to have the Dropbox integration available now - not next month! It would be great if the company integrated into BOX.NET as well for file sharing
Great tool for Marketing project management
Comments: Very positive and I will continue using it into the future.
Pros:
It lists out all of your tasks in multiple different ways depending on the one you choose. Tick boxes and completion lists allow for very easy management of day to day tasks, or even monthly and weekly.
Cons:
I can't think of too many cons for this product given my positive review on it. I would say keep tweaking the product but don't change it too much.

Comments:
(*Note: This is the same review I wrote on iTunes - true then, true now.)
I have used more collaborative project, task and team management and communications apps that I care to recall. Redbooth is in a class all its own. It's simple, intuitive, engaging and even fun to use. From the desktop to mobile, we're all on it everyday and it makes us better at what we do. A MUST HAVE!
