"Excellent for all aspects of game development - from simple, repeated tasks to complex R&D"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Favro?

Favro is built with a simple and powerful design principle - complexity should be opt-in.

Anyone who has navigated through a JIRA workflow knows how complex doing even something very simple can get as you wander through endless status and resolution types.

The other key feature, which distinguishes this tool from all the rest, is that a card or a board can exist in infinite places. This is much more important than it may seem. It means you can craft the perfect context for any piece of information.

I'll give you a simple example. Say you're working on a feature. Say that feature has a bug. Say you have a board for all work related to that feature, and a board for all bugs on the project. That bug can be seen in both contexts - while doing your feature stand-up, and while reviewing all bugs on the project.

I cannot overstate enough just how important context is to the flow of work on a project. Being able to craft strategic roadmaps for studio leadership, weekly views for feature or content teams and task-level views for individual artists - all while using the same cards and not having to duplicate them - is a feature I now can't live without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

I have no major complaints at the moment, and most small usability issues or feature requests have been taken seriously by the Favro development team and acted on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Favro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Work on any game falls into so many different contexts, ranging from simple "known problem, known solution" to complex or chaotic "unknown problem, unknown solution." Until Favro, I really didn't feel I had found one tool that could adequately tackle each context, so I had to make do with a patchwork of tools and spreadsheets that were confusing to navigate and didn't play nicely with each other.

Also, it seems silly, but the aesthetics are nice, and if you're going to look at a project management tool all day (and especially if you're going to ask devs to use it), it might as well have a custom background and good UX / UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Favro Demo - Favro boards and collections

Unlike other apps, Favro lets you see multiple boards in single screen collections, even boards from other teams and other projects. Replace tools like Trello, Monday or Asana.

Collaborate with team members directly on the card pop-up - update and create custom fields; write content with a full, rich text editor; create checklists; attach documents; link to other cards; and communicate directly on the card, providing context to work in progress.

In Favro you can create vivid Dashboards to gather and track multiple board/collection data in one place and show the results live as they are changing.

One of the most significant differences between other tools and Favro is the Relations feature, which allows cards and boards to live in multiple locations and fully sync between them simultaneously.

Favro has real-time apps for iOS and Android

Favro alone lets you scale from a single team to teams-of-teams and beyond with overview and alignment dashboard collections.

"Favro helps all team members own, see, track and move tasks to completion."

5/5

What do you like best about Favro?

Our team has used Favro for 6.5 years and has tracked the completion of just over 8,000 tasks through our Favro system. The way we chose Favro was we presented three online task tracking systems to our team that provided the functions we needed. They were all different, but could get the job done. We publish a paper, not games. So, we track lots of stories in different stages assigned to different people. We have added tracking photography prep tracking, layout planning, and file management tracking. The system simplifies our work by using one card that shows up on many boards to track all of the different elements of publishing the story. While other systems could do the same thing, our team chose Favro because of its superior visual interface and ease of use. It is easy to onboard new team members to the system. It fosters collaboration and evaluation of our processes. It keeps all of our stories in play until we publish or kill them. Because we track from idea generation to final file archiving, we can plan several issues in advance with Favro and still stay on focus for what needs doing today. We recommend the system highly for teams working together on an ever-replenishing set of tasks that need to continually move toward completion. Favro makes juggling all the pieces for multiple active projects much easier. We have incorporated new types of boards and automations as Favro has implemented improvements and enhancements. Because of the system's flexibility, we can adapt our process for special events and try new things without losing the core system we've developed. The platform is highly reliable and the Favro team provides superior and responsive support. Our team loves Favro. We don't know what we'd do without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

The phone app. Favro is best used from a desktop with either a browser window or the desktop app. We have large screen iMacs and attached monitors. The phone android app leaves much to be desired. The strength of Favro is seeing everything at once, visually, and being able to quickly move tasks, adjust loads, plan, and make decisions. The phone app shows only a few cards of a single column. That's not very useful. I only use it to add cards to a column when I'm away. I try to stay away from it because of the frustration - especially moving a card between columns. It's just not as good as a large desktop browser or app window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Favro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our tasks are stories being published. The journey from idea to publication and file archiving has many steps and includes prepping and using multiple assets. Favro allows us to create one task card for the story and track it through multiple processes related to the various assets involved. We constantly look at many stories in different stages of various processes, all while assigning them to publications that are also at various stages of development. We sought out a tool like Favro because paper and spreadsheets were failing our increasingly complex work. Favro keeps it all organized, visible and managable. Here is a snapshot. Right now I am managing a team working on publishing 112 active stories. New ones are always being added to the list and others are moving out of the list into archives. I know the status of every story's multiple assets, who is working on it and when it is planned for publishing and where in that publication it is planned to appear. But, because of Favro, I will complete three stories today and process about 20 images. Favro helps me know that's what our process needs of me, today. Actually, because of Favro, I'm ahead of schedule. We could crash and burn with all of the variables involved. But, we don't - thanks to Favro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Tool For Project Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Favro?

Here are in my mind the strongest featuers of Favro:

- Intuitive and easy to ready UI and UX: This makes using Favro very natural and easy to learn for both users and project managers

- Customization: As a project manager, it is very easy for me to customize Favro for my project's needs

- Automation: Setting up automations in Favro is incredibly easy and requires just a few clicks per automation

- Customer support: Favro has top tier customer support with a response to a question within 15 minutes usually

- Constant development: During the 1+ year I've been using Favro, I've seen constant new features (even big ones) being implemented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

Here are in my mind the main weaknesses of Favro:

- Reporting data: While it is possible to have data on your tasks, sprints and milestones, the way this data is collected is a bit clunky and makes it hard to collate data

- Long term planning: Long term planning tools are quite basic (e.g. looking at an individual user's workload is not simple) and make this process a bit cumbersome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best Game projects management software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Favro?

Favro is an excellent tool for Game Projects Planning and Management. Favro has a great Kanban view from where we can add/update or delete cards(Tasks). We can assign tasks to our team members and track the project's progress. We can filter out jobs by Tags. I love the user interface of the Favro. The best tool in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

There is nothing to dislike about Favro. It has excellent features and powerful tools. The only thing that needs to be improved is its pricing structure. They charge more cost than other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A versatile project management platform with excellent customer support"

4/5

What do you like best about Favro?

Favro is very flexible and can be used in many ways.

All boards can be viewed as sheets/kanban/timeline views interchangeably.

I use Favro for game development and have found I can action almost all requests from the team in terms of workflow and format. Cards/tasks can exist in multiple places and viewed in different ways, allowing us to create a view for the team and a view to show to management/investors.

We like being able to assign more than one person to a task, rather than having to create separate tasks for a multi-disciplinary feature.

Favro's customer support has been really good, they respond quickly and clearly and have jumped on a call with me several times to resolve issues and teach me how to use it. There are some features I am missing, but Favro's feature request & bug process is far more active and transparent than other platforms I have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

Favro's lack of structure can be a drawback if thats not how you are used to working. We have been able to set up some workflows and automations but it is not water tight and requires some manual attention, if you are used to working with lots of automations this would be an adjustment.

Favro's plugins are predominantly one way and lack customisation. For example Slack, Favro will ping a message to Slack but you cannot customise what information is displayed or perform anything in Slack which updates Favro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Favro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping the team aligned and invested in the product, engagement is higher than our prior platform due to the cleaner UI and versatility.

Allowing us to be agile, not being stuck in one way of working we can pivot based on feedback or adapt based on our stage of development without having to hack anything together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Favro is an excellent tool for planning and managing your games with collaborative editing with your team. Team members can share ideas and collaborate on the project.

What do you dislike about Favro?

There is nothing specific to dislike about Favro, But their pricing is a bit high. If they reduce the price, all small and medium size companies can use this excellent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asynchronous Collaboration Done Right"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Favro?

When my early-stage startup moved to Favro, we could immediately migrate many of our collaboration tools to the platform, eliminating several silos from our tech stack. Our team is spread across three continents, so our working hours only overlap for a small portion of the day - this has always been a challenge, but Favro has made it much more manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

Favro's feature set is robust yet does not ever feel overcrowded. This has made onboarding easy because we can interact with the platform using many of the same shortcuts and hotkeys that other tools use. However, sometimes we will encounter a limitation that was possible on our old platform - this could be as simple as the ability to underline text within a card or change the background color of a table's top row. However, these minor inconveniences are far outweighed by all the things Favro does well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good kanban-style task management, but too much features"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Favro?

We could make our tasks into cards and manage them in the kanban-style. I love it because it's so intuitive for me and fun to move cards to "Complete" when corresponding tasks are finished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Favro?

Structures between boards were not clear. It seemed that we could create aliases of cards across boards, then we see the same card on different boards. I agree that there are some people who loves it, for example, who would like to manage tasks shared across multiple teams. But it made me so confused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
