Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Samepage reduces the problem of tool-hopping. The complexity of the product in terms of features is phenomenal. Keeping documents in a collaborative network has never been this easy!

It has reduced risk of sharing and losing data in unsafe environments. Scope is to make use of Samepage to enable clean management of company information and valuable documents. This has been truly helpful, secure and easy to use!

Pros

  • Conducting meetings - Immediate connects are helpful to improve collaboration at work.
  • Planned day - Agenda setting feature is a master piece!
  • Diversity in the type of documents that can be owned and shared is a commendable discovery.
  • We don't have to move to Slack or Teams, DMs can be done in Samepage itself.

Cons

  • Document types could have symbolic representations.
  • Exporting process could be shorter - Just with an upward arrow button.
  • Task chat can also have a save option to take notes of important messages.

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact - Increased productivity, lesser time spent on projects that also reduces the expenses.
  • Zero to no delay of work with the presence of great collaboration - Lesser backlog in the queue.
  • Clarity at work with highly sophisticated reports.

Pros

  • The "Pages" layout is extremely helpful to keep many different kinds of files, comments, etc. in one place and on one project. Basically it enables you to work on a project in real time, instead of having one place to put documents, another for chat, etc.
  • The "Tasks" feature furthers the seamlessness of the app, making it easy for collaboraters to see the relationship between tasks and projects.
  • The "Call" feature is a huge win for communicating all in one app and being able to see the project and its tasks and progress all in one space.

Cons

  • It can feel hard at times to get a real big picture view of all the projects and pages happening at the same time. It is easy to drill down or zoom out on specific pages, but it doesn't feel like you're getting a sense of overview or moving pieces for multiple pages.
  • There is really no way to have subtasks within larger tasks, and that is sorely missing.
  • It can be quite difficult to get team members up and running - there is a bit of a learning curve and it's not extremely intuitive.

Return on Investment

  • Navigating remote workspaces can be very tricky - Samepage helps with that tremendously.
  • Samepage has cut down on the need for multiple emails about many different parts of the same project
  • Like any similar app, it requires the dedicated useage by employees. There is no fix for that.

Senior Visual Designer at Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fundação Oswaldo Cruz) — Fiocruz (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • Flexible: Samepage pages can assume a lot of formats to suit your needs
  • Easy to start: creating an account and starting a page is easy enough even for non-technology oriented people
  • Very attractive prices for the Pro plan

Cons

  • Samepage allows to upload and view PDF files, but not markup or comment on the pages inside them. Such feature would be extremely useful
  • There is room for usability improvements. The interface could use more contrast and color to create a better visual hierarchy.
  • Only three templates fail to show the beginner the true potential of the different formats pages can take on Samepage. There should be more templates and examples.

Return on Investment

  • We were able to be more effective in organizing events and research meetings
  • Samepage allowed the collaboration of different researchers on writing scientific articles
  • The pages in Samepage were used as a collaborative draft to create the final report of our research

Don't Need IT To Get Everyone on the Samepage

Pros

  • All communication is literally on one page, so you don't have to learn its navigation. Cuts the learning curve.
  • User interface is very simple. WYSIWYG.
  • The mobile app works well and I like how it syncs with the desktop version.
  • Just discovered the Dropbox sync. Very cool. Works way better than Dropbox at sharing files!

Cons

  • My biggest wishlist item is email integration. We previously used Insightly and that was an amazing feature it had: customers email you saying, "Do this thing for me," and you could click and have it upload and assign the task in Insightly. I'd rate SamePage a 10 if it had that. (But Insightly had too many other nonstarters for us, so we bit the bullet and changed to SP).
  • While I said navigation was easy, sometimes it's "too easy." You can overthink what you're trying to do and the program is not flexible like others are. There's pretty much only 1 way to do anything. For example, sometimes it's confusing which parts of a page are shared and which ones aren't. Wish that was ID'd better
  • Don't like having to scroll to the bottom of the task list to add a new task. Since we primarily use SP for tasks, wish it had a "create task" button that could be clicked from anywhere, not just in its task section

Return on Investment

  • We all manage our own projects and bring in colleagues when we need help. SP has allowed us to reduce all the other ways we were communicating previously (Skype, G-Docs, email) and have one place where we all go to find out what's going on and stay on deadline. We're still figuring out the best way to adapt it to our needs.
  • The lack of task assignment from Gmail or Outlook is really a missed oppty for this software. Seems like everyone else is doing it, so not sure why they are dragging on this. It has been requested by users multiple times.
