Manifestly Checklists Reviews & Product Details

What I love most about Manifestly is how it forces clarity — every step, owner, and approval must be intentionally thought through. It removes emotional friction from approvals by letting the process do the enforcing, not the person, which brings a real sense of calm to operations. We see far fewer follow-ups and “did you see my email?” moments. Manifestly also scales institutional knowledge so workflows don’t live in one person’s head, while still maintaining discipline without bureaucracy — structured, but never heavy. I especially appreciate how easy it is to update workflows, assign users, and control access by workflow and department. The API integrations are straightforward and intuitive, customizable notifications are simple to configure, and access levels are easy to manage. Most importantly, it helps us close the loop on long approval processes by keeping everyone aligned with live updates, timestamps, and comments that ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Manifestly won’t fix broken or undefined processes on its own — it enforces clarity rather than creating it. It also isn’t meant to replace judgment, strategy, or real-time collaboration tools. However, they have A.I. features to help you with some ideas! Just needs flexibility to choose to update existing runs, but I heard its work in progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Manifestly Checklists for a wide range of recurring tasks, which helps prevent missing steps by automatically generating lists at the right time. It provides due dates for entire projects, with notifications that serve as reminders for staff to complete tasks. Their customer service is also reliable, responding quickly with helpful answers. The initial setup was easy, and once people know how it works, they like it. I find Manifestly less tedious for checklists than Basecamp, so I try to move as much as possible from Basecamp to Manifestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to be able to make changes to the checklist template without navigating away from the current iteration of the checklist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reminders, assignments, comments, and easy setup for new projects with templates in Manifestly Checklists. Reminders help us remember to order and complete tasks in advance. Assignments ensure the correct person receives email notifications and knows it's their responsibility to complete the task. Comments provide space for additional information. The templates make it easy to set up new projects with not much setup required. I found the setup pretty simple, and even though I wasn't the original person who made the checklists, it looks easy to insert variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I definitely think a table of contents or easy to find tabs to go to sections would be much better than scrolling through each to find what exactly is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manifestly has enabled us to put our procedures into action and make updates in real time, all while providing clear evidence of our practices for audits. Although we initially purchased Manifestly to address the need for audit documentation of our procedures, it soon became a valuable tool for other teams to manage and implement their own processes. One of the key advantages is that Manifestly does not require any specialized skills or expertise, making it accessible for employees at all levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool adapts well to our daily operations, allowing us to monitor and manage the detailed activities required in our routines.

I don't have much to say, but I believe it should support multiple languages and include AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The team is super receptive to feedback

- Customer service responses come within 30 minutes, almost always

- The software is advanced; it has a ton of conditional step features, makes it easy to gather different data from users (numbers, text, images, etc as input), and output that data in later steps

- Allows for precise SOPs

- Because it's so customizable, I have peace of mind that if the SOP is followed as outlined, that the end result will be successful

- Guest feature: not everyone you use Manifestly with has to actually have an account, which is really nice for one-off use cases or cases where we don't want to pay for an ongoing seat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- A couple small bugs here and there (but the team fixes them quickly)

- There are some changes that I'd suggest to the UI

- Would love if there were mobile apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manifestly has genuinely made our team's life easier by simplifying routine tasks. We love how easy it is to create checklists, especially with the intuitive editor and smart due dates. The Slack and Zapier integrations are also super handy and have saved us a lot of manual work. Compared to tools like Process Street, Manifestly gives us everything we need but at a better price.

We had some initial trouble figuring out how to use the API and move our old workflows over. But their customer support was amazing, quick and clear, so it ended up not being an issue at all. Honestly, there's hardly anything we dislike about Manifestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to organize checklists for our work processes and track and not overlook tasks effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the Slack integration, sometimes it's not clear how to go directly to a particular checklist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manifestly allows me to keep track of multiple projects clearly and simply. I can look back at a Manifestly checklist and immediately remember what I have done and what still needs doing. It allows me to make notes if needed, and share the checklist with multiple users which eases collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly not much! Sometimes the search function is a bit clunky. If no results come up then the search bar disappears. You need to clear the filter before you can change your search words which just takes a bit more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
