10000ft vs monday (formerly dapulse)

10000ft

I think 10000ft is good for bare minimum project monitoring, we used it a large company because we didn't need to have exact numbers - it was just a rough idea to see where freelance resources were over burning. If, however you work a much smaller company and really need to know detailed information it's not as effective, there are many other software options that really allow for much closer and precise tracking. I would recommend 10000ft for companies that just need to monitor large freelance teams, track hours and higher level projects that are also monitored on other project management tools. It's a tool I would only use in conjunction with something else.

monday (formerly dapulse)

DaPulse is far better than other tools that I've used when it comes to ease of use and appearance. It is very user-friendly and can be used for quick at-a-glance updates. It works well for my personal organization of social media posts, blog ideas, brainstorming, and asset tracking. I have not found it particularly helpful for scheduling my days.

Team Collaboration - It's easy to add notes, upload files and create follow up tasks within DaPulse.
Personal Organization - The ability, for me personally, to add my own tasks is invaluable. I can quickly flip from personal to professional tasks and evaluate what needs my attention most urgently.
Accountability - Easily assigning tasks to a new team member, asking for input and ensuring that projects are being completed on time.

Cons

It's often confusing to use and find things, I sometimes find it to be a little counterintuitive as to where functions are (e.g. for tracking budgets and pulling reports).
When pulling a budget I always struggled to comb through the large amounts of data and time inputted. When I select a filter the page often wouldn't refresh or i'd forget to de-select a filter as it wasn't in an obvious place, which sometimes left me with pulling an incorrect budget.
The data is only as good as the people entering the time. Often with so many small tasks people would enter time incorrectly, in the wrong milestone or project. It lists all of your projects on one page, so it's not easy to enter it and there's a lot of room for error.

Navigation - I wish I could tab through (as in a spreadsheet) to add data.
Import Capabilities - Importing from spreadsheets and other organization tools (Trello) could definitely be optimized.

I think there's limited uses for the tool and much more comprehensive options out there for multiple tools in one. With more people working remotely, it's hard to just use email and face to face, in some ways you need to have a tool that's a fall back and a record of where you are + where you're going

It is very forward and intuitive, it does not do much either though.

Alternatives Considered

Although an interesting tool, compared to Basecamp or Workfront, 10000ft really struggles on the collaboration aspect of the tool. It's great for the bare minimum, recording hours and pulling a budget, but we also relied on email for collaboration and face to face meetings - which is no bad thing! Although for big companies and small projects it's nice to have everything all in one tool so there's less jumping and room for error. That would be my recommendation for any company evaluating it

DaPulse provides a better user experience than Trello, in my opinion. The previously stated benefits of ease-of-use and at-a-glance visuals are far better. It also provides better tools for collaboration and project tracking.Asana is not as user-friendly and requires more setup labor. However, Asana's integrations have worked better for our team, as well as project and deadline alerts. Asana's task list format is also superior.

Return on Investment

Positive - We were able to track multiple projects at the same time and record accurate hours.
Positive - Able to pull budget and excel reports which can the be analyzed further and relatively simply.
Negative - There were a lot of times when hours were entered inaccurately which left us in a bind with budget and freelance billing.
