Rocketlane has been a great fit for our team because it's genuinely easy to set up and use — you don't need a ton of technical knowledge to get automations running, which means our team can actually maintain it ourselves. Having one platform for both our internal team and our clients has been huge. Clients are automatically reminded about their tasks, which has helped us streamline delivery without having to chase people down manually.
A few other things that have made a real difference: the chat feature integrates directly with our Slack channels, so client communication doesn't require jumping between tools. The client portal is customizable and looks really polished — it's a good reflection of our brand. Fields are easily editable right from the projects view without having to drill down, custom fields are simple to create, and revenue percentage is automatically calculated based on task completion milestones we set. The automations we've built have saved us meaningful time and given better visibility to other teams across the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since it's newer software, there are occasional unexplained glitches — fields won't sort, you refresh and it works fine, or there's a delay in the Slack integration. Minor, but noticeable. Some fields can only be edited in certain views, which isn't always intuitive. The custom reporting also has limitations — you can't combine a date field and a number field into a calculated formula the way you can in a Google Sheet, which limits what we can pull from it. And we haven't been able to sync tasks to Google Calendar, which would be useful for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you, Janae! Having your team own automations without needing technical support is exactly the kind of independence Rocketlane is built to enable, glad that's working well for you. Your feedback on calculated formulas combining date and number fields, and Google Calendar task sync, is specific and useful. These aren't available today, but your CSM is the right person to capture those requests and advise on any workarounds available in the meantime. Reach out at support@rocketlane.com if anything else comes up.
