Chose AlmaSuite (discontinued)
Better features for project development follow up than Asana and Wrike (previous choices)
Hiver
Chose Hiver
Hiver is better than Front as it plugs directly into Gmail so no need to log into a separate email. While Gmelius has more features the price seems to be higher to. So it would depend on the volume and features needed when deciding between Hiver and Gmelius. Both can automate …
Chose Hiver
Hiver was the only option we looked at. There didn't appear to be many alternatives in the market.
Chose Hiver
True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're …

My business is HR consulting. Best benefits: organize freelance consultants by projects and tasks.

For group emails where follow ups are necessary and tracking the progress of team members is a must, Hiver is a good fit. We have 5 different companies where all the AP flows into 1 group email. This group email is then monitored and the work is delegated to the correct assignee to address those emails.

Cons
  • Need to improve in the way it shows project development in time: Gantt chart, schedules, etc.
Read full review
  • export the rules and import rules
  • bulk update of the rules, one assignee is no longer here we have to go into each rule individually and update
  • adding custom status, integrating with other 3rd party apps so the status can be changed by their triggers

True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're already all accustomed to managing our own G-Suite inbox, so it was simply a matter of teaching the team how to utilize the solution.
