General Comments | In terms of features and interface, I believe this product is the best option. However, the cost is significantly higher than the next highest-rated option. | I like that several features and settings can be set on a per-project basis (e.g. notification settings, integrations with Box/etc (which can set a root folder for the project), and more. Nice interface and mobile app. Has all of the critical features, I think, that we're looking for. | Missing task delegation to multiple individuals, lack of project hierarchy, and lack of task dependency/Gantt charts are, to me, deal breakers. | Meant to make it 2 stars, not 3, but can't edit. Same basic review as Brightpod, but missing any kind of task assignment or capability to be used for non-Agile projects. | Lack of several important features do too much to restrict usability of this tool. | Too many features missing, good for small-scale teams or fully Agile use probably, but not flexible enough for different types of projects/tasks that aren't using Agile methodology. | Overall, many features missing, and many others that need various plugins to enable, some of which have their own costs. | Having anyone with an @uic.edu email address showing up in contacts and in the activity stream is a bit weird. Automatically part of the "UIC Postdoctoral Association", and in a 'sponsored' Podio. Very confusing application to work with, only did cursory overview but it's pretty limited in capabilities. Could be interesting for some uses, but not good for intentional use by a significant sized group with diverse projects/etc. | Expensive and would have to request a trial through a salesperson. Watched some demo videos and nothing sets this product apart for our use. |
Tasks | |||||||||
Tasks delegation | Yes | Yes | Yes | No Can add members to cards/tasks but no clear 'assignment' | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
Tasks delegation to multiple individuals | Yes | Yes | No | - Can add multiple members to a task or card, again no actual 'assignment' | No | Yes 'Assist' role | No | Yes | |
Task hierarchy | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes Can make 'checklists' within tasks | - Subtasks, but very limited capability with them (assignee, title, and complete/not complete) Task lists also, but function more like statuses. | No | No | No | |
Task comments | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes Only on main tasks, not subtasks | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
Task Recurrence | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | Yes | |
Tasks in multiple folders/projects | Yes | - Can copy tasks to other projects, but doesn't keep in sync, just a one-time copy, without time logs, comments, etc | Yes Tasks co-exist in multiple projects. | No | No Can make a copy of tasks into other projects. Brings subtasks with. Does not stay in sync. | No | No | Yes | |
Move Tasks after creation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | |
Views | |||||||||
View team members' tasks | Yes | Yes | Yes | No Can view their activity but not tasks assigned (since there are no task assignments) | Yes | Yes | Yes | - Can't really tell. | |
Calendar View | - Via Gantt chart, can see. Not direct calendar view. Can filter in several ways. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
Private project | Yes Granular control per-project | Yes Granular control per-project | Yes Granular control per-project | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes Granular control per-project | Yes | |
Project Hierarchy/Organizational Structure | Yes Unlimited levels of hierarchy | Yes 3 levels of Categories | No | - Can be different Boards, and within boards a Card could technically encompass a full project. | Yes Categories can be created. | No | No | No | |
Project status overview | 5.0/5 1 rating | 4.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 3.0/5 1 rating | 1.0/5 1 rating | 2.0/5 1 rating | 3.0/5 1 rating | no rating | no rating |
Project Status Notes | Snapshot view showing overall activity and task status, color coded. Can customize Dashboards to keep track of different projects in different ways. | Risks can be manually created by project participants. Can view any overdue tasks quickly, along with several other aspects of the project. No 'Green/Yellow/Red' overall status, though. | Project owner assigned, can update Status of the project, assigning green/yellow/red. Graphical view of number of tasks outstanding/etc. Can also export to a Sprintboard (external plugin). | Only insofar as Agile is used heavily and each Card is a status. | Can see project activity, and there's Project Status settings, but no quick and easy way to see how a project is doing that I can find. | Not a great overview page. Some info but not logical to move around and find a "how is this project doing". | Lot of information, but nothing graphical or at-a-glance. | ||
Users | |||||||||
Staff grouping | No Only with Enterprise level. | No | No | No | Yes | No | No | No | |
Time Tracking | Yes | Yes | - With external plugins | No Manual entry via specific syntax only | Yes Interesting implementation, can define 'hourly rates' for different roles, and can keep track of costs this way. Could be interesting for setting rate for students, staff, managers, etc, to get a good idea of how much a project is actually costing? | - To the project only, not task | - With external plugins | No | |
Project Methodologies | |||||||||
Gantt chart | Yes Interactive, sleek, instantly created from task list | Yes | - Premium etc members | No | No | No | - With external plugins | No | |
Task dependencies | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | No | |
Agile support | 3.0/5 1 rating | 4.0/5 1 rating | 4.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 2.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 1.0/5 1 rating | no rating | no rating |
Agile Support Notes | Not tons of support, there are no Lists of tasks. Enterprise level provides capability for custom workflows for tasks/etc, but we wouldn't be getting that level. | Tasks can be moved between lists via drag and drop, lists can be used as statuses. Lists of small tasks can be created and assigned to individuals, and the 'Everything' tab with workload and other items can be used to view data. Export can be done to Excel and from there perhaps to a Burndown chart. | Sections can be created within a project and tasks dragged and dropped between sections. Dashboards and status capabilities provide general support for Agile. Burndown charts possible to an extent via external plugin. | Fully built around Agile | Pretty limited. Can use Task Lists as statuses and drag/drop tasks, but overall not a bunch of helpful views/etc. | Fully built around Agile | Very limited capabilities built-in, potential for support via external plugins. | ||
Project/Task Templating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 3.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | 5.0/5 1 rating | no rating | no rating |
Templating Notes | Can duplicate any task/project/folder with some options for filtering only some of the details through. | Can copy an entire project, and any subset of items from it (e.g. can leave out files comments and only copy Tasks and other things, etc). | Can use any project as a template, can make any task into a Project, copy tasks, etc. Can copy specific aspects of Projects if you don't want everything from it. | Can copy cards/tasks/etc. | Can create templates, but can't make an existing project into a template/copy them. | Can create 'workflows' and copy Pods from it. | Can create templates from scratch or from existing projects. | ||
Integrations | |||||||||
Mobile App | Yes Nicely functional iOS app, Android app exists as well. | Yes Very nice iOS app including time tracking. Android app exists as well. | Yes Decent iOS app, Android app exists as well. | Yes | - There is one, but can't see how to sign in to it, may be part of it once product is purchased. | No | Yes | Yes | |
Box Integration | Yes | No Currently limited to only integrating with a single person's Box account, which makes it basically useless. | Yes | Yes | No Local files only. | Yes | - With paid external plugin. | Yes Actually end up with a link to the file itself in Box, not a local version. Could be good or bad...it asks to update permissions to allow anyone with the link to access the respective file. | |
Task creation via Email | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No Nothing that I could find. | No | - With external plugin. | Yes | |
Email client integration | Yes | - Minimal with plugin. | Yes | No | No | No | - With external plugin. | No | |
Burndown Chart | - Integrated only with Enterprise level (which we're not getting). | - Potentially via export to Excel and from there charting/etc in another tool. | - With export to Just The Facts | - Via plugin (PPMO currently utilizing this) | No Can see estimated vs actual time spent, but no report/export that I could find for burndown chart view. | - Unsure | - With paid external plugin. | No | |
