LoadSpring
Chose LoadSpring
LoadSpring has a great up-time compared to our old hosting service. We haven't had many outages and very few issues while running our concurrent sessions. Automated license management has been great so our active licenses stay very low. I wasn't involved with the purchase and …
Plutio
Chose Plutio
I'm using the only Plutio platform to manage and track each task I perform for my work and organization. This tool is perfect for me and serves what our organization needs. It makes what I need and does not need other platforms to get help or dependency. It seems like one …
Chose Plutio
I have tried Suite Dash, Agiled, FlowLu throughout the process of finding a tool that fits our business the best. Plutio was the easiest to deploy and use by far. The other systems had more features and capability but was pretty difficult to learn how to use and set up. We were …
Chose Plutio
Basecamp threads discussions by task, which is fine but in practice we found that it functioned more as a message board than as a task or project management option.
Trello is good for a single user, it felt messy when we tried to use it for our whole team. Trello also lacked …
Chose Plutio
I have not used any other project management software. Plutio was the first one that I instituted at the company and it has been very good so far. I know that there are many other options out there such as Monday which I see a lot of people using. Other than how often I see it …
Chose Plutio
Plutio is much more robust than Trello. If you are looking for a full suite of tools to help you stay organized Plutio is the best option. Trello is simple and a great Kanban board tool, however, you can organize Plutio to fit your specific project and preferred workflow. Then …
Chose Plutio
Well, to be honest, the other tools are somewhat limited in their functionality and other software suites are way more expensive. Also with Plutio, you have the option to completely white label it.
Chose Plutio
Plutio is a great combination of many of the popular PM systems available, such as Trello, Asana, and Basecamp. Plutio really stands out by offering multiple tools that integrate directly with its project management system. For example, invoicing and time tracking integrate …
Chose Plutio
  • Plutio is much more powerful than Trello
  • Ora is another project management platform, but not nearly as complete as Plutio
  • The pricing of Plutio is very good, the time saved every month is well worth the subscription fee.
Chose Plutio
Doesn't compare to anything as it combines multiple resources into one.
Chose Plutio
Plutio continues to get better, offering more enhanced features that can help you customize the experience and keep you digitally organized. Where Slack has a great chat board, but Plutio offers more in project management and task completion. It may not be at nuanced as Trello …

Likelihood to Recommend
LoadSpring is great for managing licenses so that a user who hasn't been utilizing the software can be placed inactive so the license isn't being occupied. Managing services and applications is great. You can easily change access through the management portion of the service. Uptime is also very good.

It's best at managing projects on a small or medium scale; managing teams and projects for large-scale projects might be complex. It also works perfectly for day-to-day tasks that aren't dependent; it might be challenging to manage a task that depends on other projects or teams. Another thing is that no automation or anything makes your workflow extraordinary. It's a simple but more likely platform to utilize and track growth.

  • Task management is excellent. It can be broken down into so many levels and makes it easy to keep track of what needs to be done.
  • The ability to customize your method of using it is key. Setting it up to both look and work in a way that fits your company and employees is very important and Plutio does this very well.

  • Built in linked help for companies using the software.

  • The design of the invoices, when I used it, was not as sleek as I would have wanted it to be. There wasn't a proper template that I could use.
  • Similar to the design of the invoice, there wasn't a proper email template I could use.
  • The app itself didn't seem to be very secure, when I used it, it seemed to be buggy/clunky in some areas, not updating properly, etc.
  • When I used this, there wasn't a professional-looking contract, and there was no auto sending of the contract once an action was taken by a client, such as payment. It didn't make for a smooth enough workflow for me.

Support Rating
LoadSpring support is very quick to respond. They have self-service for support which is great for quick fixes on the end-user side of things. They will respond with a good solution and if they need further assistance from an administrator, and they email them so they can assist the end-user with their issue.

I have only needed to reach out for support once and got a quick response. There was an issue with the Mac app, but I knew it was in beta. Leo, the owner, was quick to reply thanking me for letting him know about the issue, that the Mac app is still in beta, and that I can use the web version in the meantime until the bug was fixed.

LoadSpring has a great up-time compared to our old hosting service. We haven't had many outages and very few issues while running our concurrent sessions. Automated license management has been great so our active licenses stay very low. I wasn't involved with the purchase and migration but I feel this was the better option.
