Brightpod vs. Quire

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.

Quire is useful for tracking daily to-do's or keeping track of a project. It's not as clean as some other software (such as Nuclino, for example) and can get a little messy when creating a Workspace. It was difficult for me to know what was private and what was visible to my collaborators

• 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.

Incentivized

• Kanban boards that makes it easier to look at my tasks.
• Categories that help me organize my tasks into To-Do, In Progress and Completed.

Incentivized

• Reports.
• Team Member workload.

• The Workspaces are not intuitive.
• No ability to set reminders for tasks.
• More could be done with priority levels (instead of just arrows).

It's working very well for our organization.

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.

Customer Support was fast and helpful.

Friendly and prompt support. No issues.

SaaS is the way forward :)

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.

Quire comes close to Nuclino, but Nuclino wins with its ability to create "cards" and organize a little more neatly.
