Goals Management Software

I wish we could have more status labels. We've used all the available ones and had to combine some to track all the statuses we want. Occasionally, and this is minor, AI picks the wrong name from an item title, or duplicates one name or the other. Easy fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

monday Work Management consolidates all my tasks in one place, making it easier to track sales, projects, and invoices. The onboard AI assists in menial tasks and solving complex ones, enhancing overall efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of Jira’s main drawbacks is that it can feel complex and not very intuitive for non-technical users, especially in a newsroom environment where not everyone is accustomed to working with development tools.

The interface and workflow configuration can be overwhelming at first, and even simple tasks can take more steps than you’d expect. For editorial teams, this can slow adoption, create friction in day-to-day use, and ultimately make Jira feel less user-friendly than simpler ticketing or communication tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before we started using Jira, managing technical requests felt fragmented. We often relied on emails or informal communication, which made it difficult to clearly track progress, ownership, and responsibilities.

Jira addresses this by giving us a centralized, structured way to handle all technical requests in one place. We can easily see which tickets are open, which are resolved, which are pending quality control, and which ones still require additional input from our side.

As a result, we’re better organized, communication with developers is smoother, and there’s more transparency across teams. It also makes it easier to prioritize work and ensures that improvements and bug fixes are consistently followed up until they’re fully completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real complaint I have ever had has been based around features locked behind the pricing tiers. Most of the time this is a per project issue, since different projects need different options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClickUp keeps me organized and even accountable to myself, both professionally and personally. I even have a workspace set up for my family that we use to keep our household in order. There really is no limit to what you can use ClickUp for, and the more they expand the features, the less I have to deal with software spread. Internal chat, non-user portals and communications, and agents that help with everyday tasks are the kinds of additions that keep improving ClickUp’s usefulness with every update.

I don't like that the pricing is per seat/user rather than an all-in cost. I also believe the onboarding process can be a bit more in-depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's allowing me to keep track of all of the tasks required across all of our clients and our team to avoid things falling through the cracks. The AI integration with Google allows us to have these tasks converted into Google calendar events for our team to make it even more seamless. The overall performance and UI/UX makeup of Asana is incredible allowing us to use it daily to add tasks, keep track and handle heavy workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may prove challenging from the aspect of usability and deployment, particularly within large corporations—end-users tend to say that it requires certain effort “to get it working”, making the training phase laborious and unhelpful for organizations without any prior structure. There is also feedback regarding issues with customer service and stability, with complaints about inadequate backup and restore functionality and performance glitches that might prove disruptive for mission-critical operations. Moreover, despite its flexibility and capabilities, Notion's frequency of application might prove to be rather burdensome—common complaints include sluggish speed, excessive page-to-page navigation, and insufficient automation and database functionalities, which make it less convenient to use than other software solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notion addresses the primary issue associated with the fragmentation of workflows by integrating all aspects into one platform that includes tasks, documentation, collaboration, and knowledge management. Rather than utilizing several apps that are required for tasks, project management, and communication, it brings them all together under one roof with the help of pages and databases. For our company, it means that our teams will be able to have all the necessary data on client meetings, briefs prior to calls, status reports of ongoing projects, and other documents gathered on one page, thus making the process of decision-making faster.

From an individual perspective, Notion solves the problem of fragmented data, as well as the need to use several platforms simultaneously. It helps me keep track of my tasks and ideas in a much more effective way, combining them into something that is both organized and flexible. This way, I am able to align my work with the tasks and goals of the team, which results in better collaboration and higher levels of accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While I genuinely enjoy using the platform, there is definitely a bit of a learning curve when you start diving into its more robust capabilities. From time to time, setting up complex intelligent workflows or configuring the advanced resource management tools can feel slightly overwhelming for my less technical team members. I've noticed that getting the custom reporting formulas exactly right requires some trial and error, which might slow things down during the initial onboarding phase. The user interface is generally clean and professional, but occasionally it can feel just a little bit cluttered when you have massive amounts of data and dependencies loaded into a single view. Additionally, navigating their expansive template gallery to find the exact starting point you need can sometimes take a few more clicks than I'd prefer. Overall, these are minor concerns and don’t significantly affect my experience once the initial setup is complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before I started using this tool, tracking cross-functional IT and marketing projects meant hunting down status updates through endless email chains and completely disconnected spreadsheets. Smartsheet solves this headache by acting as a single, centralized hub where everyone can instantly see workload balancing, capacity planning, and live task dependencies. This has made it much easier to manage resource allocation and ensure that my team isn't overburdened during critical project sprints. For instance, fixing bottlenecks remotely is now just a matter of glancing at our Kanban boards or Gantt charts and making quick adjustments, which saves us countless hours that used to be wasted in repetitive status meetings. The automation benefits have been massive, drastically reducing the manual effort required to generate progress reports for our leadership team. Ultimately, it has transformed our scattered, manual processes into a highly efficient system, allowing us to deliver reliable results to our clients with much less stress.

Mural still has several gaps, but it does seem dedicated to improving. The positioning and alignment reference lines have improved a lot, but it’s still lacking when it comes to placing items within areas, or when you have areas inside other areas. On a lower-capacity computer, Mural also tends to take a long time to load. I still don’t see much AI in Mural, and I think this is another area where it could improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mural helps me consolidate ideas into a solution, since I can brainstorm and turn it to a clear workflow. Not really sure how measurable this is, but would say it makes online sketching possible, and compared to only text notes or paper, it's 100% better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like with any platform, performance really comes down to how you build. Airtable works well out of the box, but as your data grows and you add more automations, you start to benefit from being more thoughtful about structure and design.

Overall, it’s incredibly powerful, but getting the most out of it comes down to being intentional upfront. With a bit of structure, it stays scalable and avoids turning into a collection of disconnected solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Airtable helps solve the problem of work being spread across too many tools and not actually connected.

It gives us a way to centralize workflows that would normally live in spreadsheets, email threads, and different systems, and turn them into something structured and trackable.

The biggest benefit is speed and visibility. We can build and adjust processes quickly, keep everything in one place, and give teams a clear view of what’s going on without a lot of manual coordination. It also helps standardize how work gets done, which cuts down on confusion and rework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be helpful to have more integration options with product management tools so that time entries could be connected directly to feature tickets or backlog items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

actiTIME gives us a reliable way to track effort across the product development lifecycle. It helps identify where bottlenecks occur, whether estimates are realistic, and how workload is distributed across the team. This leads to better planning, more predictable delivery, and clearer communication with leadership about timelines and capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just wish more marketers knew about this tool, since it’s still not as widely recognized as it deserves to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using Morningmate, our marketing projects often suffered from scattered communication and missed deadlines across different tools. Morningmate centralized all project management tasks, which cut down planning time and reduced confusion between teams. Real-time KPI tracking helped us identify underperforming campaigns quickly and optimize budgets more effectively. Collaboration with external partners also became smoother, since everyone could work in the same workspace without constant email back-and-forth. Overall, it solved the problem of inefficiency and gave us clearer visibility into campaign performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Aha I'm able to have a full overview of the state of all the products and releases.

I can customize the details based on my specific workflows and needs, and I can make a fluent communication with my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike, but it would be nice if they had a full general ledger accounting system to handle accounts payable, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ravetree helps us map out projects, set project budgets, allocate people to those projects, log time and expenses, and create invoices. Pretty much all of the day to day stuff at our firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In reality, the problem for me is the mobile functionality when the signal strength is low. The offline functionality also lacks strength in that I continue to have a notebook to record the updates when I am offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've reduced missed appointments & last-minute curveballs by utilizing Bordio as the Field Operations Manager. This allows the crew to see the priorities more clearly, me to recognize overloading sooner, & our daily route to look less reactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No regrets or faults to report for the time I have used Conceptboard. It has been an awesome experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For all project management needs and visual collaboration, Conceptboard has amazing features and we have used it successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Trello is very intuitive to use, it can start to feel limiting when you’re managing more complex workflows or a large volume of tasks. As projects expand, boards can quickly become crowded, and it isn’t always easy to track dependencies or handle more advanced workflow needs in a clear, straightforward way.

Also, compared with more advanced project management tools, Trello doesn’t offer the same depth of reporting, automation, or workflow customization on its own. To get those capabilities, you typically have to rely on additional integrations or paid features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before we started using Trello, coordinating tasks across different teams in the newsroom felt fragmented and far less transparent. It was difficult to see who owned what, how work was progressing, and what the real priorities were across editorial, SEO, and multimedia.

Trello addresses this by giving us a centralized, visual way to manage our workflows. Each task can be tracked from creation through completion, and we can organize work into clear stages, assign responsibilities, and keep visibility across teams without constantly chasing updates.

As a result, coordination has improved, miscommunication has decreased, and overall productivity is higher. It also helps ensure that ongoing projects—whether editorial, technical, or strategic—are consistently followed up on and stay aligned across the organization.

Hard to think of any cons for a small team with our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our nonprofit's communications committee uses this to manage social campaigns, newsletter production, design tasks, and email marketing. We tried Trello but switched to Freedcamp — it felt like a better fit. Before this we relied on email threads and Google Docs, which made it hard to stay organized. Good option for any small team that needs to stay on top of tasks without a lot of setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support becomes worth in the community. They exchanged the support team. The old one was experienced. The new one is ok, but not as good as the old one. Cost cut? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wrikes slogan very well gives how we use it: "Wrike is the single source of truth."

This is the most important advantage: we have all tasks in Wrike. If you have this you have a very well overview: about all tasks, about the workload of peolple, about the status of projects. It works very well for multi project management then.

A little drwaback is the amount of work to impeent standard metrics for project management like burndown charts. You have to go into the programming of an analytics mode. But if you managed this it is a very powerful tool.

With Wrike we reduced our regularly coordination meetings by more than 50% (this is true if everybody is up to date in Wrike with all tasks compared to using multiple project plans in an offline project management environment).

Also the managers have now a very good overview of all their projects. If you implement the correct project structure in Wrike you can work with it starting from the bottom of the coworkers single task to the C-level view.

The workmanagement is one of the big benefits: all tasks are in Wrike and everything is reported in Wrike. So you fnd everything in a project in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels a bit limited once work gets bigger. For small diagrams it’s perfect, but for larger planning or brainstorming sessions, the canvas feels restrictive.

It’s more of a diagram tool than a full collaboration space. When discussions go beyond flows into planning, tracking, or workshops, we had to use other tools.

Template options are also fewer compared to some other platforms, so sometimes we had to build layouts from scratch.

Basically great for simple visuals, but not ideal for large cross-team collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps turn discussions into visuals quickly. When we talk about processes or system flows, people often understand differently. Drawing it out in Whimsical clears things up fast.

I use it during planning talks to map steps and decisions. It helps the team see the full picture instead of just hearing it.

It’s also helpful for sharing knowledge. A diagram is easier for someone new to understand than reading long notes.

So the main benefit is clarity and saving time on explanations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile app functionality is a bit limited compared to the desktop version. It would be great to have full feature parity on mobile devices for working on the go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Worksection has completely transformed our project management workflow. Previously, we dealt with fragmented data across emails and spreadsheets, which often led to missed deadlines. Now, everything is centralized, giving us full visibility into project status at any moment. The platform has significantly enhanced our collaboration-assigning tasks, sharing files, and commenting right where the work happens keeps everyone aligned. It has drastically reduced administrative noise and increased our overall efficiency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things that could be improved based on my experience using Backlog. While the interface is generally clean, it sometimes feels a bit outdated and not as smooth or intuitive as some newer tools. Certain actions, like updating tasks or navigating between sections, can take more clicks than expected.

I’ve also noticed that performance can slow down when working with larger projects or a high number of tasks. Loading times are occasionally longer than expected, especially when switching between tabs or viewing detailed issue lists.

Another limitation is the lack of deeper customization. For example, it would be helpful to have more flexible dashboard options or ways to better organize tasks based on specific workflows.

Overall, these issues are not deal-breakers, but improving speed, reducing friction in navigation, and adding more customization would significantly enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using Backlog, we struggled with keeping tasks, bugs, and communication organized across multiple workflows. It was easy to lose track of updates, and we often had to switch between different tools to manage projects, which caused confusion and wasted time.

With Backlog, we can now manage tasks, bug tracking, and team communication in one place. This has made it much easier to stay organized and keep everyone aligned on project progress. Assigning tasks and tracking updates is more straightforward, which reduces miscommunication within the team.

As a result, we’ve been able to save time on coordination and improve overall workflow efficiency. It’s also easier to handle multiple projects at once without losing visibility, which is especially helpful when managing a large number of tasks or accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
