Overall Satisfaction with dapulse
We did an indepth assessment of Dapulse as cross functional status/tasking tool. We have a few admins, many contributors and many viewers of the information. We were looking for a visually pleasing and easy to use status tool to keep many stakeholders updated on project progress.
- One of the best visual tools for representing basic status and tasks.
- Inline editing saves alot of time by not saving all the time.
- Easy to structure content for editing purposes.
- There is a lack of administration of permission levels. There is only Admin or Viewer. There is middle tier contributor type permission and presents structural risk to your grids.
- Lack of customizability of notification types. Basic notifications are either on/off, and they lack detail requiring you to go to the site to see what is happening.
- Setup of boards/grids and their arrangement do not carry over consistently from user to user.
- Updates to items are logged and can be versioned, but following the information is not intuitive.
- This was just an assessment for us and we decided not to move forward with it.
- smartsheets, Excel online, Zohodocs and Air table
Dapulse is really nice to look at and can be customized well. It seems to focus on representing work and information which makes it a unique tool and eliminates alot of the complexity of other tools out there.
