Uku Reviews & Product Details

Uku helps save time by having all recurring tasks set up in advance. Tasks are less likely to be overlooked when they are planned in Uku immediately. The system allows tasks to be moved between days and enables viewing activities by person to see how many tasks each individual has per day. We use Uku on a daily basis and customer support is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding and editing recurring tasks can sometimes be complicated and confusing. In some cases, after scheduling a task, it seems to disappear. This creates uncertainty about whether the task was added to the wrong date or why it cannot be found in the calendar or dashboard view. As a result, the task is often added again, and this process may be repeated multiple times. Later, it may turn out that several duplicate tasks have been created for the same day and need to be deleted. It appears that when a task is scheduled far in advance (for example, nine months ahead), Uku may not display it immediately, as if it requires some kind of background or automatic processing before it becomes visible. In general, planning recurring tasks requires many clicks. This could potentially be reduced by allowing certain default fields to be predefined at the company level. For example, having to manually set both the start date and the due date each time is cumbersome, especially when, for our company, both should always match the task’s scheduled date. The implementation process takes a considerable amount of time, and it can be more difficult for employees who do not use the system regularly to learn it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Uku for client management, workflow management, and time tracking. The software is easy to use and intuitive. What I especially like is the flexibility — you can edit everything later if needed. For example, if you forget to start the timer at the right time, you can easily adjust the time afterwards. This makes daily work much smoother and less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally it can be a bit challenging to find completed tasks in the calendar if you don’t remember the exact start date or deadline. However, this is a minor issue and doesn’t significantly affect my overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Uku is an essential tool for a business owner and team lead. It helps me track where my own time and my team’s time actually goes. It also helps us improve our systems, because we can see which parts of the work are the most time-consuming and optimise them. What is especially convenient is that in our team different people can work on the same task in separate segments and easily hand it over to one another. In addition, we can attach task-specific checklists, files and comments. This makes life very convenient and saves a lot of time.

As both a team lead and business owner, I honestly can’t imagine my work without Uku. If a task or activity is not in Uku, it will probably not get done, because Uku is my calendar, reminder system and everyday work assistant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly can’t think of anything major I dislike. I’m a complete Uku fan. Of course, from time to time there are small technical issues, but the customer support team is very helpful and resolves them quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like to physically see which days have a lot of tasks and which days have less. It helps me plan my day better. It's also convenient that I can just drag and drop tasks from one day to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has proven to be a bit inconvenient that when you add a task, you have to refresh the website for it to appear again. It would also be inconvenient if, when adding a recurring task, I marked a weekend day as the start date, for example. Then I marked that if the date falls on a weekend, the task would be displayed on the previous day, but I left the same date as the start date (for example, January 10 of this year). After a while, I discovered that the task was not created in the first year because the start date seemed to be later. It's not a big problem, but at that point it created additional work to make all the changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy using Uku. Setting up recurring tasks and managing clients is straightforward, but what I appreciate most is the Uku plugin. It allows me to track time on any job without having to open Uku, and a small indicator appears in the corner to show that the timer is running. This serves as a helpful reminder to stop the timer once I’ve finished working on a task. It’s easy to forget otherwise, but with Uku, you won’t! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this time, I don't have any dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that UKU is easy to use and very manageable day-to-day. The interface makes it simple to share information across our company users, which helps with collaboration. The pricing is also very reasonable for the value it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some older users, the system can be a bit difficult to navigate at first, especially when trying to find the right features or add items to the to-do list. Also, it currently doesn’t integrate with the Joosep5 bookkeeping app, which would be helpful for our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its easy to keep deadlines of all works/tasks and have actual review, how much time things take.

Also it is easy to direct some works to other persons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first it was a bit confusing for me to set correct repeats to all assignments while settling new tasks. But few times changed and got the system more clear for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use due to it being so naturally intuitive. It is easy to find a solution with the live chat feature when you have a problem or need a question answered. I enjoy how customisable it is for each individual client while also not having to enter all the information from zero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish i was able to add a member to a task template rather than having to manually add them each time. Each member is in charge of something for the same client so it would save time to be able to set all 'bookkeeping' template to one person, all HST template to one person, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how effectively Uku helps manage my tasks and client agreements, bringing structure and clarity to everyday work. My latest “wow moment” was when we successfully automated our invoicing in cooperation with Uku, which resulted in a meaningful efficiency boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the feeling that I’m not using Uku’s full potential yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it very easy to use and quite user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it were simpler to switch tasks—ideally, I could just enter a new title and have the timer automatically restart from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
