Likelihood to Recommend I like Brightpod. We used their previous product, DeskAway, which we actually liked a bit more for our needs (cannot remember why now as we've found workarounds over the last three years!). It is good for us, and we need to organize multiple task lists for multiple clients. We need to be able to monitor task progression and completion, as well as to track time by resource. We need to prioritize and focus our resources, and we need to review time tracking/performance reports. All possible in Brightpod. We especially like the access we can give to clients, which is on a task list basis, so they can see some task lists in their pod but not others, which allows us to not overwhelm them with unnecessary info, but at the same time, accomplish the detailed tracking we need.
Read full review To manage the workflows of our business, we used a number of tools before we began using Flowlu. It combines CRM, project & task management, team communication, invoicing, and account management into a single tool. We are able to save a lot of time and effort by using this all-in-one solution.
Read full review Pros A very visually pleasing layout of projects in a Kanban style view. Keeps all communication on a task or project in one place, so that everyone is on the same page. Great template system for recurring projects like onboarding or deploying a specific service that has a defined timeline. Flexile recurring tasks. Read full review The system of adding only the features you need by installing as separated modules makes it easy to learn without being overwhelmed by the lots of features. I really like its structure and clear interface. Not wasting much time by searching for the right buttons and settings. Looks like the developers use their own tool for everyday work Flowlu offers a custom domain option to fully integrate fully it into our company toolbox. This helps offering a seamless experience for our clients. The elaborated invoice module was the final argument for us to switch to Flowlu. Read full review Cons Reports. Team Member workload. Read full review Flowlu should allow user to import their own invoice into app Fellow should have their own email marketing system It should integrate woo-commerce, a big e-commerce platform on WordPress. This will support users will in managing and sending emails to their customers. Read full review Likelihood to Renew It's working very well for our organization.
Read full review I have found Flowlu while searching [for] a collaborative tool for a friend's non-profit organization. As I read the description and made a trial test, I fell in love with the tool. So we are definitely going to renew. Not only because the delivered solutions are great but also because Flowlu's roadmap seems very [promising].
Read full review Usability Brightpod is easy to use. We have several levels of users, some are from outside the USA and some are here. We needed something that could be used by programmers, coders, technical project managers, marketing individuals, and administrators. We get a thumbs up from all these user types. The system is hardly ever down, so we are able to use 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Read full review They have a great onboarding checklist and if you follow it you will be able to use the software. That is easy to use in my book. Flowlu has also the ability to turn on and off apps that you use or not which makes it tailored to the business needs.
Read full review Support Rating Customer Support was fast and helpful.
Read full review Great Support normally they respond in a few hours, which is very good, the knowledge base is good and the facebook groups are also very responsive. We are finding many videos online which are explaining Flowlu more and more daily.
Read full review Implementation Rating SaaS is the way forward :)
Read full review Alternatives Considered Brightpod was definitely the most attractive and we felt like it had the least amount of clutter. We hated how
Wrike handled recurring tasks.
ActiveCollab just seemed to have some complexity that we didn't need. The Brightpod developers are very responsive and were able to fix bugs quickly.
Read full review Flowlu is easier to use and has more features, with more coming.
ClickUp feels like it's more 'open' for any type of business with a lot of customization, whereas Flowlu feels like it was created for niches like my own, yet it can easily and quickly be customized for any type of business
Read full review Return on Investment Increased employee efficiency Ability to have remote teams Read full review Time invested in learning the app was huge, there's no go-to resource center and currently their knowledge is scattered (YouTube videos, Knowledge Base, API docs etc) We are able to cancel subscriptions of some of the other CRM and project management apps as the needs are covered by Flowlu There's a significant productivity boost after learning the app but this is not quite measurable just yet Read full review ScreenShots
