Fibery Reviews & Product Details

Fibery is so good!!! Love everything in it

Still some bugs but im sure they are working on solving it

It connects all organization together

Fibery is the only tool I've found that allowed us to not make any compromise on modeling and implementing our business processes. At its core lies a powerful knowledge graph-like database, that is as easy to edit as a spreadsheet, but offers better consistency. The data can be presented in many different ways, from Trello-like cards to Monday-like roadmaps, which makes it straightforward to create familiar views that users instantly understand how to use.

Due to its versatility, Fibery can be a bit daunting at first, but looking at the product roadmap, it is something that the team is aware of and working on.

Fibery helped us implement our SDLC process with end-to-end traceability, all within the same tool, with each artifact linked to the other, where other tools like Jira constantly forced us to find workarounds and compromise on our target state. Fibery's flexibility helped us continuously review our processes and make quick changes to the model, which lead to continuous improvement in the way we work. As our organisation matures, so will our processes, and Fibery's versatility will help us support that growth and change.

Flexible + smooth UX. Any knowledge management topic can be addressed in multiple ways, Fibery is often chosen as the best solution for our needs. It's a great hub for intra & inter-departments collaboration.

UX is really smooth but some micro-features are still missing.

Product management & Sales enablement. Example benefit: having a full catalog of Product marketing resources, which is both accessible by all, and maintained + prioritized in real-time.

The capabilities of the tool. It is possible to capture any use case in it.

The great need for abstraction. It is necessary to have very organized and structured ideas before being able to translate them.

We are unifying the company's software, using our own methodologies. This will allow us to exploit this information in a better way in the future.

Fibery gives you a way to define your strategic goals, connect them to your tactical goals and define workflows that support the execution of those goals. I recommend it to all of my portfolio companies.

It takes some time to understand the abstractions and how it all fits together. I'm also looking forward to more options in the workflows so that tasks automatically move from one person to another based on state changes.

Starting and building a new business is hard. Fibery helps you document your intentions and keep you on track to achieving your goals. It also helps you automate tasks.

You can build anything in Fibery - a kanban board, a ticketing system, surveys, whatever your team needs. And you can interconnect these apps to share data and produce workflows that support your business. The team pays close attention to detail and is committed to solving the problems that competing tools haven't yet addressed. Love this product and the team that builds it!

Right now, the learning curve is a little steep and there isn't enough of a "first run experience" to make it easier to learn and build. The team has been working to fix this, but you should know that it will take some dedicated effort to learn how to build inside Fibery. Once you are over that hump, the sky is the limit. :)

I can mold and organize my space for everything

there's still not a mobile app, but it is not a real dislike more a "nice to have feature"

organize docs, tasks, and plans

Fibery is ahead of its competitors thanks to better handling of relations between data. It provides a visual overview of data connexions and powerful views of these data as table, hierarchical lists, kanban, calendar, charts, timeline. These views are very well designed to allow advanced features and easy customizing. Not only that, but for a young product with advanced features, it is already relatively stable, very usable, and pleasant to use. The team behind it seems experienced, and the transparency on their blogs is a good gauge of confidence. They also have unique and brilliant other features like collaborative rich text documents and whiteboards where you can link directly to your data. It opens a lot of opportunities to think about your business from innovative perspectives, really.

Their vision is to allows you to connect your data with other services like github, stripe, intercom, ... But they are not so many currently and to my mind, they lack an integration with emails.

As a small company in software development, we tried a lot of tools trying to have a centralized and connected view of our business: from wiki, to ERP and CRM. What seems to work well for us is a general data management tool that allows connecting all (most) of our data but keeping things simple without unnecessary features. Fibery allows to make a simple CRM with only needed features and to extend it with dedicated features that you could not find in an "of the shelf" application

- Flexible customization - Comfortable UX

-- The price for small teams is higher than other competitors have -- no mobile app

Product management Product development

Fibery is flexible and super humane. They helped us in every step of the way teaching and creating new opportunities for even new businesses. It is awesome

I dislike some missing features like the lack of more sharing capabilities BUT it’s in the roadmap, so I’m cool

I have a product team that attends to many clients, we are scaling our process with fibery and now we can even sell our transparent and fast methodology using it

Possibility to create apps with multiple views of your Types and powerful integrations and charts. I also like the easiest onboarding. It's very easy to understand the features and produce consistent results in a short time compared to other Apps like Notion, Coda, Airtable, etc. The charts are my favorite feature, its simple and powerful! It's possible to connect data from external datasources. This is what is missing in another Apps. I use the Fiber in personal side projects, although it was created focused on teams, and I got it to develop apps that really works (P.S. without work arounds), like: - Daily Tracker - Habit Tracker - Project Management - OKR Management - Financial Budget

Missing some features that already exists in other players like Notion, Coda.

I use the Fiber in personal side projects: - Daily Tracker I can track my Notes, Mood, Habits and Objectives across the days. Charts help me visualize all of this easy. - Habit Tracker I can track my Habits easy with Calendar, Kanban Board and Charts. - Project Management I can manage my projects linked to my tasks and OKRs. Simply amazing. - OKR Management I can manage my personal OKRs with Charts that show me the progress of each one. - Financial Budget I can manage my financial budget. This show me the composition and performance of my finances.

You can create your own tool for almost everything.

I use it for every task I have, so I found some missing features, but these ar minor :)

Every product management tool has some limitations because is based on one methodic. Also you have to integrate more tools, when you need connection to your knowledge base, planning tool, task management etc. In Fibery you can create your own system with all aspects above.

I freakin' love Fibery. The possibilities are INSANE! 😍 We're building The Ultimate Workspaces for solopreneurs. It's an all-in-one solution for clients, leads, notes, offers, strategy, projects, planning. The CRM part integrates with Calendly, Active Campaign, WooCommerce and all kind of systems so that your workspace is always up-to-date. And when a client or leads come in... we've automated everything. Client onboarding/offboarding tasks, reminders after sending a proposal to a lead. Complete projects when a new offer comes in. For everything you do more than once, we've made a task/project template. New product launches, onboarding a new team member, do your stay-out-of-jail administrative tasks etc. Will save a lot of time and prevent mistakes. We are also building a content hub which is completely integrated with the CRM part. You can turn notes & information in forms into VOC data. Then write a content idea for that. Plus a whole system to repurpose your best content on different platforms. And the knowledge hub is completely integrated with the strategic part. You will turn knowledge into tasks / goals / etc. so that you actually do stuff with all that knowledge. With Fibery you can say goodbye to Notion, Google Doc, whatever PM tool you use, external data dashboards... And with the build in automations and formulas you can say goodbye to Zapier/Make etc. as well. If you have the right vision, you can build everything inside Fibery. And the best part is their amazing customer support and weekly released. Their releases make me more happy than chocolate, and that says a lot 🤣 I've tried Trello, Notion and ClickUp but Fibery is the only software that can handle all my ideas.

Fibery has a learning curve; comparable to Notion. But on the other side it's the most flexible, stable and affordable tool I know. What can be improved: - The notifications - The current user permission set up (not for every situation suitable) - There is no standard functionality for such thing as 'a deadline' or 'a recurring task' --> you can make it work, but you need to build it yourself. - Overall: sometimes I need to build a lot of workarounds to make something possible. But that's also the great part; I didn't encounter anything so far that wasn't possible. And everything I miss is on the roadmap.

I have everything in one tool. And because of that, I can connect everything together. CRM, Personal Knowledge Management (Second Brain), Project Management, Data Dashboards, Automations... the possibilities are endless because of their framework.

Very customisable and powerful. Loads of integrations and quite easy to start using. And it grows as your company grows, your imagination is the limit. It's well rounded in almost everything.

It lacks the general polishing of other more specialised tools but it more than makes up for it in potential. Performance is not ideal for all the use cases and the API isn't as powerful as others.

It helps me to get product teams aligned on the development process and also to communicate internally to the company the current statuses and challenges. It allows us to automate many things, so it saves us loads of time and it's an all-in-one tool for now.

There are some workflows that simply aren't possible or extremely clunky in other tools that appear to be thoughtfully accounted for in Fibery. As a product leader, it's the first tool that will truly take you through the entirety of the product lifecycle--from corporate and product strategy, to goal-setting, to customer and product discovery, to development and go-to-market. This is largely thanks to the whiteboard that integrates with your structured data, in-line references and annotations, formulas, reporting, and completely hackable automations. But it's also that, given how flexible it is, it feels like the first tool that was meant to be changed. You aren't going to build the perfect app the first time, but it doesn't feel punishing to extend it later.

One-way import integrations with other tools is relatively straightforward, but one of the purported promises of Fibery is two-way sync, so you can use Fibery as your command center to affect other apps. The 2-way syncs are so sporadic and complex, though, I have yet to realize the benefit of them without just using custom automations. (You can do this however, via Zapier, Make, or good ol' JS + API.) There are also still some rough edges. The rich text documents could really benefit from embeds (native reports, native whiteboards, Figma, native views). The whiteboards integrated with structured data are the killer feature but are still kind of clunky. The way data tables relate to each other is so easy, but then some unexpected things don't work depending on how you set up your relations. These are frustrating to me mainly because it's obvious the vision is there, and I don't want to wait any longer for it to be reality!

My primary use case is product management. I first needed a true product system of record: strategy, insights, goals, reporting, research, feedback, experiments, plans, requirements, documentation, and delivery tasks and projects. I needed one where these were all first-class citizens (not dressed-up tags) and all connected, so I could use them for different contexts, e.g., reporting to the board and for getting shit done. I needed one I could customize, especially for the prioritization framework but also for the actual discovery and delivery processes. And of course it needed to talk to my other tools that weren't going away, like GitLab, SendGrid, Slack. I have used or trialed virtually every option out there--ProductBoard, Harvestr, Airfocus, Craft, Aha, Notion, Clickup, Airtable, DragonBoat, ProdPad, Orbit, Ally, DoubleLoop, and so many I haven't listed--and it's the only one flexible enough to do all the work. Because of its flexibility, we've already extended it to the leadership team as a place to store strategy and reporting.

Easiness of linking different types of data and creating new ones is astonishing. Simplicity of integration with other systems also helps to build in Fibery into existing software landscape.

It would be great to add the ability to create dashboards that help to reach all the apps which are needed for specific roles inside Fibery. More granular user permissions could be also beneficial.

We were organizing the management activities of the retail organization. The previous system was difficult to configure to introduce new processes. Fibery helped a lot.

What defines Fibery and sets it apart is its flexibility and the interconnection of information in different workflows that can result. This flexibility not only allows you to define a data model and workflow for nearly any process, but it also allows you to build and integrate multiple previously separate processes on a shared, interconnected data model. There is no other tool that can be quite as flexible while remaining easy to use and accessible even at the administrator-level. There are more powerful systems, or aspects of tools like e.g. Coda that can do things that Fibery can't (yet) do, but in the vast majority of cases it is more complex and difficult to set things up in those tools. Fibery does a great job of balancing flexibility with ease of use at all levels. Fibery's other great strength is its integration engine. For any natively-supported integration (an ever-growing list of apps like Github, Jira, Airtable, Notion, Intercom, etc.), you get a nearly complete mirroring of data from the source system into Fibery. Most of the integrations are one-way, read-only, which is to say Fibery can pull in the data but not make changes in the target system, so this is a notable limitation. But even still this is a remarkably powerful capability. Once the data is in Fibery, you can "enrich" it by both adding new fields as well as adding relations to connect external data to your other data and processes internally. You can also set up automations based on all this. So for example you can pull in your Hubspot contacts and tickets, associate those tickets with an internal issue tracking setup, development prioritization, etc., and then automate the creation of e.g. new dev tasks when a Ticket comes in that matches certain criteria. The possibilities are endless, and the tools to manage it are fairly intuitive and capable. Now, since this flexibility is its main strength, it is not necessarily going to compete directly with some dedicated tools in particular areas of work. If you are happy with the structure of existing tools and the connection of your data that is already available to you (or not) in other systems, then it's not going to provide you as much benefit. Setting it up to work in these kinds of "standard" ways is absolutely possible, it just takes time (there are many templates available to get you started more quickly on standard workflows though!). And even in that case, if you anticipate a likelihood of growing needs over time, you may be able to save yourself time, money, or both by creating a more "standard" workflow in Fibery that you can then expand and customize for your changing needs. If you are like me, and many other startups and other small businesses, and your needs don't seem to be covered "out of the box" by any existing tool, then you'll really find Fibery to be a breath of fresh air. I run a real estate development company, hardly what you would consider the core use case for Fibery, and yet it adapted extremely well to our needs. Imagine being able to track every aspect of a property, from financial data (buy/sell price, annual taxes, etc.), to development tasks and progress (site improvements, environmental studies, etc.), to maintenance (backflow testing, brush clearing and trash removal), and then relate that to equally comprehensive data on building construction, property sales or purchase processes, loans, contacts and companies, and more. All the data interconnects and can be segmented as much (or as little) as you want, which makes it better even than some other tools (like e.g. Airtable) that may be able to implement a similar level of detail for databases, but which are far more cumbersome and limited in terms of access to and interconnection of data. One of the dangers of flexible, "no code" platforms is that because the UI is not customized, it is easy for your own administration and setup to result in sub-par UX for the actual users of the system. In Fibery this is possible too, of course, but unlike many other tools the core UI and UX are in general much more well thought-out, which helps to minimize the chance that the flexibility and customization let you create a fundamentally frustrating UX for people. A good example of this in comparison to Notion is that Rich Text Fields in Fibery can be repositioned anywhere, and you can have as many as you want per "Entity" (what Notion calls "pages"). In Notion, even with the newer ability to hide some Properties, you *still* have all your DB properties at the top of the page, above your rich text content. For some situations this is desirable, but for many others it's not. Fibery has fields *alongside* the rich text area(s), which is much, much better UX. That's just one example of where Fibery's team clearly thought through the user experience much more than Notion did as it built out flexible features and customization. So Fibery is pretty great already. But what really ensures my ongoing enthusiasm for the team and product is their openness and especially their clearly-articulated vision for the goals of work and knowledge management, and their ideas for how to get there. No other current tool I know of is clearly thinking as deeply about not just "How do we make the best implementation of current work management?" (e.g. ClickUp, Monday, Asana), but "What would be a better way to manage work if we could implement the ideal process?". Fibery's many articles and white papers articulate a vision for the interconnection and re-use of knowledge, data, and conversation that demonstrates a vision beyond that expressed by any other tool that I'm aware of. The other thing I want to mention is that the team behind Fibery has a lot of good experience (founder Michael Dubakov helped start Target Process as well) and I think this is partly responsible for their excellent consistency in feature updates and fixes (often weekly releases, monthly at a minimum). The transparency of the dev process has also been great, with (mostly) monthly updates from Michael on the progress of the product, including setbacks, challenges, etc. This is really refreshing when compared to products like Notion which are the opposite of transparent, and where you only find out about the reason for big delays and challenges well after the fact (e.g. API, localization), if at all. In addition to this they have an active user community in their forums, where several of the team also interact fairly frequently. Again this contrasts sharply with tools like Notion where, yes sometimes you'll get an acknowledgement on e.g. Twitter, but real conversations back and forth seldom happen, and *never* with the actual devs (it's always indirect, with a support rep, etc.). I've had detailed and specific feature discussions with the Fibery team and it's incredibly satisfying to have that much input into the process. Of course not everything will be implemented exactly as I prefer, but to know my voice is being listened to is so much more satisfying than the opaque interactions with many other companies.

Now of course Fibery is not perfect. They are still relatively early in development and miss a lot of features you may already depend on in other tools. One of the biggest and most important in my view is proper "notifications". There is a "Notifications" button, but the actual use of it is cumbersome and limited, and there is little "active" notification functionality. The best you can do is have all notifications sent to email, which works for letting you know of some things, but is still not ideal. You can now set up date-based notifications (or indeed notifications on nearly any criteria, with Automations), but the actual process to do this is way more complex than it should be, and the results are cumbersome in practice. I know this is something they're working on, along with many other things. And in the meantime we can live with the downsides. The other capabilities we get from the existing functionality already make it a better tool for our needs than anything else we've seen out there, and we've looked at *a lot*, from the well-knowns like Coda, Airtable, and Notion, to lesser-knowns like Infinity, Ninox, Tabidoo, and more.

I run a real estate business and using Fibery allows me to create a highly customized and interlinked database to document a huge range of varying information and entities, and relate them to each other in intuitive and functional ways. From any property I can find details about the broker who is selling it, the entity that owns it, prior transactions on the property, any maintenance needs, etc. I also track financial data, and can easily chart things like e.g. sales volume vs. sale price over time, sales by area, etc. And because of the flexibility to create unlimited Databases and connect them freely, I can segment the data so that no one "view" becomes overwhelming with information. It's all segmented yet interconnected. This saves a lot of time, energy, and frustration as there is a huge amount of information to manage in a real estate business. In addition to this, I also use and recommend Fibery for my independent Technology Consulting work, where it is used for a wide variety of purposes. Its flexibility means it can be as applicable to a small bakery's cost and recipe management, to a software development team's feedback and development management.

We have been using Fibery since 2019. The problem with current project management tools is customization. We used to use JIRA+Confluence, Asana, Trello. We had to align our process based on the available functionality of the existing tools. Fibery solved this problem. Currently, we use standard spaces from the standard library and created several custom ones. We moved general docs, HR, vacation tracking, RnD and project management to Fibery.

The pros of customization are also the cons. You need to do an overview of your organization and think about how to align departments with spaces in Fibery. In our case complexity of a setup was not a problem, but need to have it in mind. The documents feature is not as convenient as in Confluence. We use docs a lot. It's not possible to attach files to documents. Fibery provides basic formatting capabilities. Recently they announced the "blocks" feature. Hope it will make the docs feature better.

We use Fibery for: - General public documentation for employees (Confluence replacement) - HR (Confluence replacement) - Vacations (Confluence replacement) - Project management with development boards and time tracking (JIRA, Asana, Trello replacement) - Employees one-on-ones and salary reviews (Google docs replacement) - Test engine for the QA department (Zephyr replacement)

I was forced to learn how to organize things and processes through the creation of custom apps and structuring the data using Fibery. I managed to set up CRM, Product sprints and Milestones and a bunch of other processes that I've never thought of before. I see now that things and our team communication are going smoother using Fibery and that we've managed to reduce the number of tools for our PM cycle. I was personally inspired by Fibery support team and their dedication.

Fibery is a little bit complex for new users and it requires some dive-in. It's continuously developing and the user experience regarding some apps and features inside Fibery might be a bit painful. Like writing docs or working with tables or copying the passwords to paste in some input (***) that are copied with the space at first symbol (if you are getting stuck with your password, you keep in your fibery docs, just refer to this review). But it's small compared to the benefits Fibery provides.

- CRM setup and customization - get rid of Jira - improve communications within the engineering team - slight automatization of some document workflows

The flexibility of the processes and data you could set up on your own from scratch or using provided templates. Also, Polina is amazing! Our whole company lives in Fibery.

There is no mobile app yet. Also, there is a steep learning curve in the very beginning. And sometimes very basic features are missing. And you have to take into account that there is a risk of relying heavily on a service created by a startup.

We use Fibery for product, development, culinary, finance, HR, and so on. It helps us to keep all collaboration in one place. But you need a set of champions who will take ownership of different apps.
