Job Costing Software

Monday.com can feel overwhelming at first. But that is expected, to be honest. There are so many features and boards that figuring out the best setup takes time. Some advanced automations require higher tier plans, which can get pricey. Switching templates or reorganizing boards after they are set up is not always smooth and can be frustrating. For small teams or solo users, the interface can feel more complex than necessary. While powerful, Monday.com can have a learning curve and requires some upfront effort before it truly makes work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monday.com solves task overload, scattered communication, and missed deadlines. It keeps my projects organized, tracks progress, and centralizes collaboration, saving time, reducing stress, and helping me focus on completing work instead of chasing updates.

One downside is that I wish the AI functionality (excluding the Super Agents - those are amazing) had stronger memory and training capabilities. Right now, it’s incredibly helpful in the moment, but it doesn’t retain long term context about our brand voice, processes, or recurring workflows the way a fully trainable AI model can.

If ClickUp’s AI could be trained on our internal documentation and retain memory across projects and time, it would become even more powerful. That would allow us to centralize not just project management, but also strategic thinking and content support, eliminating the need for additional AI tools.

The AI is strong, but the ability to personalize and “teach” it over time would take it from helpful to indispensable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClickUp solves the chaos that naturally happens when you’re managing multiple clients, projects, deadlines, and assets at once. Before consolidating everything into one platform, tasks would live in emails, Slack threads, notes, or someone’s memory. That’s where things get dropped. ClickUp eliminates that risk.

We don’t lose tasks. We don’t lose assets. We don’t lose visibility.

Everything has a home, an owner, a due date, and a clear status. That alone has been a massive time saver. Instead of asking, “Where is that file?” or “Who’s handling this?” we can see it instantly.

It also streamlines our entire workflow. From onboarding to content production to approvals to publishing, the process is structured and repeatable. That consistency reduces decision fatigue and speeds up execution.

The benefit for us is efficiency and peace of mind. We spend less time organizing and more time strategizing. Less scrambling, more scaling.

For an agency managing multiple moving parts every day, that operational clarity is everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Asana is that it can start to feel overwhelming as projects grow in size and complexity, especially with too many tasks, notifications, and dependencies. Some advanced features are locked behind higher-tier plans, and the platform can require ongoing maintenance to keep workflows clean and organized. Additionally, for smaller teams, it may feel more robust than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Asana solves the problem of scattered tasks and unclear project ownership by bringing all work into one organized system with clear deadlines, assignees, and progress tracking. This helps teams stay aligned, reduces missed tasks, and makes it easier to plan and prioritize work. For me, it means fewer follow-up messages, better visibility into team workload, and more predictable delivery of projects without confusion or duplicated effort.

It's been a learning curve to add new drop downs on a page. It's also annoying that things filter by alphabetical order by default. There are some times when I am planning "April 2025, May... June... July... August" and the page automatically filters to "April, August, May..." It would be nice to have a button that lets you decide HOW you want something sorted. When the side panel opens to create a new page, I wish I had the option to add a new property rather than just adding it to the old one. The setup was pretty difficult. It was a learning curve compared to Monday which is very intuitive. There's more functions in Notion, just takes longer to figure them out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notion solves the visibility issue by providing access across projects, helping our team track project statuses and collaborate efficiently. I appreciate its visual roadmap and progress indicator, which help in managing multiple projects without overwhelming details. Its easy for stakeholders to use the tech, too which is a perk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Jira is that it can feel overwhelming at times, especially for new users. It offers a lot of features and configuration options, which can make it seem complicated to set up at first and sometimes harder to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jira helps solve the problem of scattered communication and unclear task ownership. Instead of tracking work through emails or chat messages, everything is centralized in one system with clear statuses and accountability.

This benefits me by giving better visibility into project progress, helping prioritize tasks, and reducing confusion about deadlines or responsibilities. It makes collaboration more structured and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I notice is that Smartsheet works best on a bigger screen. On smaller screens, I prefer to note things down and update later from my laptop. Also, when I add many tasks in a day, I sometimes forget to set the right status and have to correct it later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Earlier, I used to handle clinic tasks and content work in a very loose way. Some days I focused only on patients and forgot content deadlines, and some days it was the opposite. There was no clear picture of what was pending and what I had already finished.

With Smartsheet, I now keep a simple running list of my work. When I complete something, I mark it and move on to the next task. This helps me stay consistent instead of working in bursts and then catching up later. Over time, this has made my work feel more controlled and less rushed, especially on busy clinic days. I also don’t miss small things like printing diet charts or follow-up calls because they are already listed there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The richness of the product requires more serious support from Acumatica that we seem to have difficulty accessing, at times. We currently use Acumatica as our VAR, and they have structural issues that have led to a negative experience. The transition from Sage 100 was initially painful, taking 3 years to convert. Challenges came from end user non-participation and lack of serious commitment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acumatica supports our business from lead management to payment collection. It's flexible and easy to use yet robust, and it lets us adapt to market demands in a functionally correct manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real challenge we have is backing up data off-site. We recently wanted to ensure that we had backups of all the scripts and all the files associated with those scripts. And all the configuration of those scripts. We ended up creating a web scraper to do that. But if we had an API call, that would have been much more efficient. Getting to learn the policies and policy management was a little bit difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Syncro for managing server software installs and updates. It simplifies server management by keeping software up to date and automating restarts. The PowerShell scripting feature opens up management automation, allowing us to collect metrics and manage services effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Users mainly dislike Procore because of its high, non-transparent pricing, steep learning curve, and heavy administrative overhead. Although it’s a dominant tool for large enterprises, these same factors can make it frustrating to adopt and use for smaller firms or specialized trades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Procore is designed to bring the “chaos” of construction projects into a single source of truth, helping address key industry challenges such as data silos and communication delays. By bringing office and field teams together on one platform, it aims to improve productivity and support more predictable outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, if there's a feature that doesn't work with NetSuite, it can take ages for them to address it with an enhancement because not a lot of customers may want it. Sometimes, there's no workaround, and these enhancement requests can stay in the NetSuite world for ages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NetSuite consolidates multi-subsidiary accounts quickly, saving two days at month-end. Its 100% cloud-based system allows for real-time financial balance sheet access and is easily customizable to different business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the standard reports in the system feel lackluster, and I find it difficult to get meaningful data out of the Planning tool without having to massage the data first. I also don’t like that when I use tasks on projects, those tasks don’t flow through to the GL reports, which feels like a major oversight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unanet helped us transition away from Quickbooks, which wasn’t well positioned to support a services-based government contractor of our size. It made project cost tracking and reporting much more seamless, and it also helped facilitate the cost segregation we needed to better support our rate structures.

Performance may slow down with very large or complex bases, and some automation and reporting capabilities are less advanced compared to specialized tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Airtable helps solve the problem of scattered data, rigid tools, and manual coordination by providing a single, flexible platform where you can organize information and workflows without a heavy technical setup. It can replace ad-hoc spreadsheets, basic databases, and disconnected tools by centralizing data through linked records, multiple views, and automations. The result is faster execution, clearer visibility across projects, fewer errors caused by manual updates, and smoother collaboration—so teams can adapt their processes quickly and make decisions using real-time, structured data.

- A lot of the material in the Learning Hub and help documentation is outdated. Trying to follow the steps is often guesswork as they no longer relate to the current system

- it seems that sharing ideas to the Idea Portal is of no use. There are many great ideas that seem to be simple fixes but have been sitting there for literal years.

- known defects within the system take a long time to be resolved

- invoice template editor isn't user friendly, also there is no ability to edit number of decimal places for percent complete Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an IT engineer in a busy MSP, Autotask has pretty much become one of the tools I rely on every day. It pulls together ticketing, time tracking, asset management and projects into one place, which definitely helps keep things organised when workloads get messy.

What Autotask Does Well

Ticketing that actually works

Easy enough to manage loads of tickets. Categories, quick notes, and automation make it simpler to prioritise and stay on top of things.

Great integrations

Works smoothly with Datto RMM, backup tools and other monitoring systems, so everything lands in one central spot. Cuts out a lot of duplication.

Decent reporting

The dashboards and reports are detailed and customisable, which helps when tracking SLAs or spotting recurring issues.

Solid project and asset tracking

Projects are easier to follow with milestones and dependencies, and asset info is stored neatly, which saves time when troubleshooting.

Where It Falls Short

UI feels outdated

It works, but it looks a bit old and can be overwhelming for new engineers.

Mobile app is lacking

Fine for quick ticket updates, but not great for anything more involved.

Automation is powerful but tricky

You can do a lot with it, but setting it up isn’t always straightforward. 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.

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.
