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

Appropriate as a great alternative to MS Project. RationalPlan provides most of the features needed to develop and maintain mid-level complex schedules.Less Appropriate for large complex schedules of long duration. These can be a challenge due to Duration at top-level. It is also a challenge to generate reports for management - reporting feature is limited.

- Portfolio view is great to get a feel for how your programme is running at a glance and which areas possibly might require attention. The fact that you can customise your view by adding your own columns is another plus.
- All project information in one tool is a big plus for me considering the amount of projects we run with. This really improves efficiency and saves me time. You have the ability to add documents to tasks, manage risks, email resources tasks due for projects they are assigned to(might need some refinement depending on your requirements), material db with costing etc.

Cons
Nifty
- 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

- Milestones should be a primary option instead of 0h to create one.

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.

RationalPlan is cost-effective and allows most users to prepare and manage their schedule. The software lacks comprehensive reporting and duration changes at the top level of a project.
