Great project management software

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It is easy to use and flexible product. Software is matured and well done, has all main functionality project management tool would need. I find it easy to do project and task management for myself. It also has a good project collaboration functions but I haven't tried them yet as I use it only for my personal needs.

Pros:

- It is easy to use yet flexible product.- integrates with Zapier and Pabbly for automations- natively integrates with Google Docs and Calendar- you can do empbeds from other other tools (e.g. Miro) to have relevant information in one place- different views for tasks: list, kanban etc.

Cons:

- tagging functionality can be better, more flexible- native document function is very basic - but you can use Google docs so it is not really important- forms are not offered with standard plans and need to be bought as addon seperately- there are only tasks and subtasks - more levels of subtasks would be handy- while you can set anything as a task status, the built in logic of backlog->doing->done remains built-in

Forget Asana and Trello when you have Nifty

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Nifty is my go-to project management tool both for my business. Switching from Asana was super smooth and I was able to transfer all of my projects exactly as they were, with all my numerous notes, too. The other great thing about Nifty is that you can work on Google docs within the app. It's not something I actively use, but it's quite handy if you want to share docs with someone without sharing dozens of links in one go. The templates and the customization of Nifty in general are absolutely amazing. Since I set up my workflow and everything I needed inside the app, I've never looked back.

Pros:

Since I started using Nifty after looking for an Asana alternative, I haven't looked back. I start my day by firing it up and keeping all my focus-tasks for the day in front of me. I am pretty minimalistic with my setup and don't like a lot of fancy stuff, so I know I'm not even using half of what's available. But that's what makes Nifty perfect for me. I've also created my own super basic custom CRM to keep track of new leads and any client-related projects I'm working on alongside my own.

Cons:

One things I'd love is fr the time tracker tool to be a little more intuitive. Right now, tracking time or even manually editing or adding time when you've forgotten to start the timer is a bit cumbersome. I'd also like to have more customization options for those custom tags because the color palette is limited and it leads to occasionally messing up some tags.

terrible customer service. Charging too much and not replying to any e-mails or chat requests.

1.0 2 years ago

Cons:

Nifty has charged me too much money and fails to give me any clarity regarding this subject. I have been e-mailing, chatting through various ways without even a single response in the past few weeks. It is impossible to cancel or change my plan myself (which should be easy, seeing their FAQ) and they are still charging too much. Do not buy this service.

Nifty review

5.0 3 months ago

Pros:

One of its best features is the ability to combine task management, time tracking, and team communication all in one platform.

Cons:

customization options are relatively basic, so for teams with complex workflows or unique needs, it may feel restrictive.

Great project management app, support could be improved

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I've been using Nifty for over 2.5 years now. It's a great, customizable project management app that helps our team stay organized and get work done. I like the UI, it's easy to understand and easy to use. Minimal learning curve for users. They continue to add new features every month, very active development.The product is great, they just need to improve customer support follow-through until resolution.

Pros:

Nifty offers a friendly UI to manage projects, tasks, and collaboration tools. It's easy to create projects from templates, create and manage tasks, embed various content in tasks, use markdown in task descriptions and comments, and know who's working on what and the status of projects and tasks.UI is very fast, one of the main reasons I chose Nifty and switched from Plutio. Navigating from project to project, opening and managing tasks, etc., is very fast. It saves time.It's a complete and customizable project management solution.

Cons:

I like Nifty. It offers everything I need. My main issue is with support. Occasionally, there are bugs. But that's the nature of SaaS businesses, and I don't consider it a negative if they are fixed. So when I contact support, it can be frustrating when they disappear and don't reply. I often have to initiate a new conversation in Intercom to get an update on an issue they stopped replying to over email. For example, the most recent issue with overdue notifications for recurring tasks was fixed, and I replied to them confirming it was fixed. But I also reported another bug with markdown formatting. No reply. 10 days later, I sent an email to get an update, and one day later, still no reply.Luckily, Nifty works 99% of the time, so I don't have to contact support often. They need to improve their support follow-through and resolve tickets.

Our Team Thanks You!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall we love Nifty. It saves me time not only on organizing projects, but has saved me time as well since I am no longer having to search for better alternatives and setting them up - my team thanks you for that ;)

Pros:

We love that it is simple to use, and makes total sense. We switched from a well-known tool that was over complicated. The team was very excited on making the switch. Was a seamless transformation - glad we did it.

Cons:

Wish there was an easier way to edit templates, maybe I'm missing something but I find I have to resave a new one and delete the old one.

Great product and always working on new features to make it better.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It's been great and the support has been amazing. I keep using it knowing more features will come and that you listen to your users.

Pros:

The options and how you can change settings per project.

Cons:

My biggest issue is partially my fault but also could be something I'm missing. One thing that would make the Kaban layout perfect would be to auto move tasks. If it's "In PRogress" and I check the box, have it automatically move to "In Review" and notify anyone that needs to review it. Instead I have to manually move it over and it never gets checked. I keep NOT using it because I want it to keep moving down the pipline.I keep ending up using note taking apps as thats a huge part of how I work. If there was a way to intergrate with craft.do and even have my note be attatched to different parts that would be great.

Teamwork and task management combined

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Using Nifty, we don't have to worry about juggling two separate apps for work-related communication and task management. With everything being handled in one central location, including meetings, I've noticed a marked improvement in the effectiveness of the business.

Pros:

Though there are numerous apps for both work management and team communication, none of them combine the two. We don't like using a bunch of different programs on my team. Nifty is an innovative solution because it combines four formerly separate apps into one.

Cons:

When compared to other market leaders like Slack for conversation and Monday for task management, the app's stability falls short. There would be gaps in the conversation logs when past conversations mysteriously vanished. This is an additional annoyance for us.

The BEST Project Management Tool; I actually use it!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: For me, it houses everything in one place that I regularly reference, so my notes, my links, accounts, reminders, tasks, schedules, everything is all in here so I don't have to go to multiple places to handle client work.

Pros:

I like the usability; it's very user friendly and my clients love how simple it is.I have used a few other project management software, but Nifty is by far my favorite. All of the features and functions pulled into one place.There are a few features that Nifty does not have like a Gantt chart, but I haven't used that feature in other software often nor have I relied on it, so so far, it's been wonderful for me. I've used it more often than I did my pro Asana account. Sometimes, having too many options leaves you not wanting to use the software at all, so I love the simplicity of Nifty. With that being said, there are still a lot more options and features that can be utilized - for those who use them - I just don't need anything incredible robust for my use.It's also really helpful for my clients to be able to assign tasks and see how far along we're coming 🤗

Cons:

So far, I don't have any cons from Nifty

It helps ensure the continuity of updates to achieve the best follow-up

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: With Nifty, the knowledge base has become available to all members, and the transfer and documentation of updates has become continuous at all times.

Pros:

Nifty has everything I need to organize my daily workflow and build a knowledge base that supports continuous updates. I love the ease of creating lists and collecting data through them. I love looking at the dashboard that keeps me constantly updated with colleagues about everything new and achieves quick response to any requests. It is great that with Nifty we have automated dashboards that reflect updates directly and can be used to provide a live display of the level of progress and clarify many statistics at any time. I love the ease of adopting Nifty as an effective means of communication that enables me to reduce the movement between applications and complete more than one task from one station.

Cons:

Nifty is easy to use, I just need more freedom to customize some reports or ready-made templates, to appear in a way that is completely suitable for our needs.

Project Management at your hands

4.0 last year

Pros:

Nifty is a great tool if you are looking for a decent project management tool. It is very easy to begin with. The project tracking is easy since it has various project tacking facilities such as Kanban and timelines. The price is also the most affordable and reasonable price. The Customer support feature is on point as well.

Cons:

If this is the first time using a project management tool this might be a bit confusing but overtime you will explore the software and you will get used to its features.

Avis nifty

4.0 last year

Comments: it is a very good software for business development but it does not have a free access plan.

Pros:

I highly recommend toodledo software to anyone who wants to increase their productivity in a company.Wow, this is very good software. It's like I'm moving with my office. The application is very mobile. I work everywhere and follow the steps of each task

Cons:

The only drawback I found for this application is that it does not have a free trial plan. Otherwise it works very well. If the designers can include this plan, it would be good

Nifty is Great for Collaboration

4.0 10 months ago

Comments: Overall, Nifty is a good project management tool for digital businesses. If you don't mind being limited in your customization of the tool, and you like something fairly simple to setup and use then it will be great for you.

Pros:

Nifty is excellent to use with clients, especially if you need to communicate them about the progress of their projects. It's great for getting approvals or revisions when doing client work. The platform looks beautiful and is fairly easy to use.

Cons:

I would have liked more customization options. Something as simple as matching colours to my own branding wouldn't be possible.

Nifty keeps you linked

4.0 last year

Comments: It was a good experience honestly, for small projects it gets the work done almost always and its integration with other tools like Slack, Jira, and Google Calendar is amazing.

Pros:

the kanban boards are what made nifty crucial during that time as it allowed us as a team to visualize our workflow and track the progress of our tasks

Cons:

when loading complex projects, it was slow at times and there is two instances when it crashed but probably due to the hardware limitations. The only thing that should be improved is to make it more customizable like its competitiors.

Quite a nifty software for your daily tasks

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: It's a good software to have to take better control over your daily tasks and overall organisational goals. Helps you keep a regular check on tasks which might otherwise fall through the cracks. Overall, a pretty neat software.

Pros:

It looks complex at first with the dashboard displaying so many features, but once the training is done, it's a very handy software. You'll come to appreciate it.

Cons:

The first look is a bit intimidating as for the main dashboard. Some features are a bit complex and take getting used to.

NiftyPM is a fantastic project management software

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

It's very easy to use, very intuitive UI. We have been using it since the last 2 years and have been following their development and growth since then, the team works hard and keeps adding useful, practical features every few months. We'll keep using this as it's very flexible to manage all kinds of projects.

Cons:

Sometimes, some integrations break (for e.g. JIRA). However, the team has been proactive, and they fix it in a few days. One more con is sub-tasks need more options. And my final gripe is lack of integrations, it needs to talk with a lot of other services FULLY. For e.g. even though they say they have an integration with Slack, there's no way to customize what updates I get in Slack (I want updates when a task is marked as DONE for example, that's not possible).

Constant growth and evolving

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Our experience has been really good, besides small things that we understand for being a new software, we really like the interaction with the team and how they help us to get the best for the tool.

Pros:

It's really easy to use and understandTeamwork is always searching for how to improve the tool and they are willing to help you with any difficulty

Cons:

As a fairly new software, they are still polishing certain aspects, and need integrations with other tools, but the potential is HUGE, they were born really big and we can't wait to see them develop this tool

Nifty is the unsung hero of the project management tools

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I used this product for my personal company but since I introduced Nifty at my job, my colleagues really like it. And since the product greatly evolved in the past, I guess it will be more and more an important player in the PM cloud apps. I still don't know why Nifty is ignored in most of the PM software list on the internet. It is more complete and thorough than most of the software on the list without the cost.

Pros:

I really like this product for his integration of multiple tools, allowing us to work directly in the project. The UX and UI is excellent, they are also implementing new stuff regularly and the guest access is very generous compared to similar tools.

Cons:

Lack of reporting or at least a way to build custom reports in the app, lack of a proper Gantt view can be an issue for some.

Great for remote teams

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

As the manager of a remote team, this software allows me to see everyone's workloads, individual task progress, project progress, and share with clients as needed! Everything you need is in one platform - communication, task management, document sharing, project planning, and so much more.

Cons:

The only thing I would like to see improved is how you use the software with clients. I wish there was a way to print the project roadmap reports without requiring the client to login to view it.

Great overall project management tool

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Compared to other PM management tools, this integrates all the features we need from discussion channels to kanban boards, everything is here already. We don’t have to switch apps anymore to track progress of our deliverables.

Pros:

This has the capabilities that a content agency needs. Specially if we’re inviting clients to the workspace and have them view and comment on tasks for approval.

Cons:

The notifications and alerts are sometimes buggy. It’s also hard to look for group chats if the messages are not recent.
