    Overall, I am happy with HotGloo. It supports and fits well into my workflow. Here, I use HotGloo mainly during the prototyping scale. More preciously for wireframing. Eventhough, there are other tools - which I also use in subsequent steps - that would support wireframing as well, I like HotGloo and will keep using it during this stage. This is mainly because I think the elements and symbol library has just the right depth and detail for wireframing. It is important in wireframing to not include to much detail yet. Otherwise, testers get distracted by design aspects. Therefore, I like HotGloo and us it for different Product and Service design projects.

    I've found myself recommending Nifty to other business owners as well as for personal use. I've personally found it to be invaluable when it comes to:
    • Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly recurring tasks
    • Creating templates for company processes such as new product creation, marketing strategy, on-boarding, quarterly goals, content management
    • Having forms zapped into a new task from multiple locations ensuring they're never overlooked
    • Having clear milestones and timelines for projects
    • Communicating on projects, tasks, and just in general
    • Assigning different components of projects to different people
    • Creating prior requirements that must be completed before completing the task

    • Time Expense could be improved since we cannot edit the previous/past time logs entered.
    • Lacks expense management and Purchase order management functionality
    • Newest product updates are not always stable and I had to reach Nifty's support team a couple of times in the past to fix the issues with new updates e.g. our document management and meeting integrations had to be re-authorized

    Being able to export the finished wireframe to HTML was a huge time saver for me and my team. Getting to that next step quickly and seamlessly was a massive help. Not only that, but other tools that do this, we have not as much luck. HotGloo's functionality was a step above the others.

    There's no comparison. Nifty does what all of these do all in one place (with the exception of Slack's community aspect with hashtagging - not sure if Nifty can do this, never tried) Nifty even has the ability to import directly from many other platforms - I've personally imported projects from Trello and Asana, saving tons of time in migration.
