"A great tool for online team collaboration"
4/5
What do you like best about Ora?

The time tracking feature is really well-developed, it is crucial for me to track the work time of my team, Ora makes it really easy to do.

The UI design is really good and eye-catching, the interface is easy to understand, which rarely is the case with task managing software. Everything from deadlines to projects is clearly visible and easy to adjust.

There is a huge variety of existing task types, which is great.

Furthermore, Ora has the option to create online meetings, which is great for remote working.

This software has all the important features that are needed for a successful online working environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

The night mode could use a few improvements, it is not visible everywhere, only in the small portion of the interface.

The interface sounds are rather offputting and I recommend turning them off (it should be like so by the default) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great robust tool in affordable price!"
5/5
What do you like best about Ora?

I've been on the lookout for a tool that is offordable and should be easy to use. Luckily I found Ora. The interface is clean and modern and allows navigation quickly. The speed is really good.

Ora has a robust time tracking and reporting section which very few tools offer. Time tracking is on task to task basis and is such a breeze that once I started using it fully, I realized there is no turning back.

The add-on functionality is also a handy feature. I can simply toggle the things off that I won't be needing in the project such as "pipeline workflow" "task IDS" etc.

Another great feature that Ora offers is the annotation feature which as a designer, I absoluetly need as I need feedback from clients on wireframes and high quality designs. Ora does the job pretty well in that section.

Support is super awesome. I had a couple of fixes needed urgently and Borislav was able to accomodate the request in simply a couple of days. Huge thanks to him for this.

Overall it's a great tool to have, to organize the projects and day to day taks. I wish Ora team great success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

I don't specifically disklike anything in Ora. But If I talk about how Ora can improve, as of 2021, the new views are needed like builtin calendar view (something that Ora is missing).

As a designer I'd like to see a gallery view to analyse the images that I uploaded with a sneak peak of feedback that I received on those images from clients.

List view needs improvement as well. The only view that I'm using is the Kanban view and Gant chart (timeline) view and I wish to use the list view in full scale as well.

Being a designer side: The form view is also important in collecting various questioner regarding the project.

It'll be good to have a single tool to cover these routine things. Some of the items are in the roadmap and I hope I see them soon in Ora. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ora vs. Trello and other Kanban type PMs"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Ora?

I LOVE how Ora allows you to add "pillars" or "steps"… I'm not quite sure what they're officially called but let's say you're trying to setup an SOP for something that is going to take WAAAAAYYY too many 'Lists.' You need to break it down into pillars. And you can totally do that within a single "board" within Ora. That ONE single feature was what pulled me into using Ora consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

It's still kinda buggy. Just a couple days ago, I was adding notes to one of my 'cards' (I use it as a CRM). I don't know what happened but my notes were gone. This happens too frequently. That's why I'm not giving it a full 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A perfect project management tool for agile project management"
4/5
What do you like best about Ora?

Ora is really helpful if you're working with sprints. I love that I can put the open tasks into the backlog before starting a new sprint. You can assign tasks, comment in every task, create checklists/due date and easily arrange the tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

What I do not find quite so ideal are the notifications. When a task is commented on, you are not always notified. A review process would also be helpful for the way we work with sprints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An affordable,full-featured project management tool that still needs some work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Ora?

The pricing was very affordable compared to most other project management systems we looked at. We got a special lifetime pricing when the software was still fairly new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

There are some things that are a little buggy, especially with time tracking. We also wish that our clients could have more access to the reporting features. Finally, the colors are often so muted that they are difficult to see at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Is it possible I'm in love with Ora??"
5/5
What do you like best about Ora?

I am a company of one at the moment, and was looking for a project management tool that could help me keep track of client work, ongoing projects, etc. I tried free versions of some other products (Trell0, Asana) but none of them captivated me.

Also, although collaboration is great, at this point I am just looking for something to use for my own project management. Ora fits the bill for what I need now, but can also grow with me if I do need to bring in teammates in the future.

My favorite features so far include:

* Time tracking - the ability to easily track by project and by task. And to either enter the time manually, or actually run a time tracking clock. Love it!

*Agenda view - Being able to view open tasks across all projects is very useful. It's exactly what I need.

*Reoccurring tasks - A lot of client work I do is reoccurring weekly or monthly. Being able to set a task to repeat on a schedule is most useful to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

I haven't found a lot that I dislike yet. There is one thing that just strikes me as odd. When I create a reoccurring task, it doesn't actually get created until the date I set.

For example... let's say I have a task that I do every Monday, so I create a reoccurring task for every Monday at 8am, and set the due date the same. I complete the task on Monday and mark it completed. In my Agenda view I do not see a future task for the following Monday. I won't actually see this task created until the next Monday.

It's definitely not a deal-breaker, and I'm getting used to it. But other task products I have used with reoccurring tasks have created the new one as soon as I complete the initial one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Project Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Ora?

There are a number of included "niceties" that make using Ora very simple and easy. For instance, you are able to setup automated actions for each card either entering or leaving a list, integrated time tracking and just an overall nicely designed layout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

There isn't much to dislike. The only downside I can think of is I don't think our team is utilizing the software to its fullest extent and that makes things frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ora is the perfect agile project management tool for 2019"
4.5/5

Ora has taken all the best bits that we love about Trello and built upon the shoulders of giants. It's intuitive interface and clean UI makes it the perfect tool to run agile project. It even has templates built in the support agile planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ora?

Ora has a lot of excellent options to extend the basic boards but it would benefit from a few video walk through clips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
