Nifty Reviews & Product Details

The kanban works great, tasks and subtasks are nice and the app is so handy and works well

Loading times are not that great, but at least they make it less annoying with the inspirational quotes

Teamwork is great on nifty, communication is fluid and zoom integration does make it easy to communicate with your team.

Nifty is easily one of the best product management tools that I have used. It is very well designed, the software works as you would expect, easy on the eye and works as you would expect. It's especially intuitive if you have come across from one of the other big name tools out there that have similar functionality such as Trello, Wrike or Asana. One of nifty little features I like is the dark mode option which is super slick and just awesome. The software options are very simple and easy to setup to your liking, such as notification settings.

On Windows Nifty often won't update automatically forcing me to re download the latest version which can be annoying, as an admin I would like to have a quick view option to preview what each of my invited users does or doesn't have access to save back and forth if a certain permission or access has been missed.

I often work remotely especially since the pandemic started, it's paramount that I am able to quickly convey and receive information with my collaborators in the most streamlined manner possible across multiple projects, - Nifty gives me the ability to quickly get up to speed on projects without sifting through emails or instant messages not only with my colleagues but also directly with clients.

I really like that you can make tasks dependent upon other tasks so that whether or not your team is working in the same time zone or shifts, everyone knows exactly what step we're at and what's coming next.

I do find the font could be a little larger, but I just make use of the zoom in browser and we're all set.

We're using the tool across departments, but also for onboarding new team members. It's been incredibly useful, especially when onboarding somebody remotely.

I like the organization ability as well as the intuitive nature of the software. Most of all though I love the native integrations such as Google docs. It greatly improves the speed at which my team completes projects. When we limit the amount of time we have to spend outside of our project management app our productivity is great increased.

The chat function has alot to be desired. It unfortunate because we would love to have 1 place for everything but when using the chat function the notifications were unreliable which has forced us to remain with slack for chatting. Additionally the auto upgrade feature doesn't ever seem to work on any of my team's installs so we are forced to manually downgrade and upgrade the app.

We use nifty to manage our Web Development and Graphic design projects. Nifty has allowed us to complete projects faster with a higher degree of accuracy. It has also allowed us to share project updates with our clients in a streamlined fashion.

Having tried a number of project management solutions in the past, I like that NiftyPM offers a very full mix of the types of features I found useful in others, with an easy to use interface. We manage web design, content marketing, social media and advertising campaigns. Nifty's built in project templates can be used to quickly scaffold a project, and customized as needed to work for your team...no clunky setup required. With task lists, subtasks, Kanban boards and milestone views, you maintain control over how deep you want to go in terms of project management. It also provides task based time tracking, which we use quite a bit. I also like the comment threads in each project that can be used for team communication, note recording, etc. The ability to store docs internally is also helpful. These can be native "Nifty" docs, or Google docs/spreadsheets/presentations. And files of other types can be uploaded as part of the project: PDFs, graphics, documents, etc. I imported projects from Asana, and the result was quick and pain-free. Plus, it offers native integrations with apps like GitHub, Slack, Google Suite and Zoom, and a deep set of Zapier zaps.

As with most tools like this, setting up detailed project timelines with lots of nested tasks gets repetitive when it comes to assigning tasks and due dates individually. This is not specific to Nifty, but it would be great to have some easy defaults that can trickle down automatically and be changed as desired.

Project management is faster and more flexible that under similar systems. And we now have a cloud-based source of truth for developing project knowledge.

I love: Having an app, mac version, and web, so there is no excuse to be productive. Chat with clients and team Start a zoom call with one click (right, no need of getting a link and send it by email or WhatsApp) Ability to create documents (Nifty documents or Google ones)

The learning curve, but this is not so much Nifty fault, I need to learn more about project management. I did not like that they did not have a Spanish version but I think it coming soon or it is probably there.

The main issue I am solving is to collaborate with clients, I can assign them tasks and give them deadlines, the ability to upload pictures and files is a time saver for later references.

Nifty is stable, beautiful, and fast. It has transformed the way we manage projects within our company, and given us a new way to be transparent with clients about their projects. - When they release new features, it is done in a way that never comprises stability. - Nifty has tons of options for customization, but not so many that it feels overwhelming. - Our clients love the interface, and prefer using this over email (a HUGE plus). - The interface is powerful for the admins, and easy to understand for clients first logging in.

There is very little I dislike about Nifty. Rather, there are a few features I'd like to see included (that it currently doesn't offer). - I'd love to have proposals/invoicing through Nifty, so I can scrap my other CRM. - I'd love to have onboarding videos (or first time tutorials) to help new clients learn all that the system can do. - I'd love to have a ticketing functionality in time, allowing clients to make support requests that get mapped to the system. All these things though are "nice-to-haves," and their absence doesn't change my interest in the software.

The main difficulty in scaling a creative studio is staying organized, and keeping clients informed. Nifty has helped us with this a lot, and has really, really cut down on the need to check email so often (which can be a huge time drain). The primary benefits we've realized is how encouraging it is to us (the creative studio) and the client to see the percentage bar on the milestones change on a daily basis. The overview tab is a really, really nice touch as well! The main benefit is reduced stress (for all parties), and never needing to guess what you need to work on in a given day.

Being a cloud based project management solution is enabling all our team to have remote access, communicate through direct messaging and attached files to the relevant task areas Having previously use standalone project software, NIfty has helped us take a great leap forward in how we do things Tip - Using dark mode is useful when doing webinar/Zoom type meetings as it is easier to read against a dark background

Mmmm. There isn’t much to dislike. Maybe the inability to zoom in when sharing on a Webinar to enable everyone to read the content easily?

Being able to delegate tasks and sub-tasks, balance the workload from the dashboard and set off a timer for more urgent tasks has enabled us to up our project productivity by some 20%. Nifty is also our ‘one truth’ of what’s going on

The features allow us to use it as we see fit and we are able to integrate contractors into the process for documentation. That aspect was nice since third parties never want to use systems that require a whole lot of legwork this was simple. I am an older engineer, set in my way and a younger engineer brought this onboard. I gave it a shot solely for due diligence, anticipating giving it the once over and passing on it. It ended up that everything i wanted to do had a process.

Tutorials are somewhat lacking in high level detain.

We needed to organize our projects and define staff roles with documentable production targets

Nifty is a very intuitive platform for starters. Everything needed to handle multiple projects is there and I like that guests have full functionality so clients and other collaborators can be in the whole workflow of various projects and also a thing that´s not common in othe rplatforms is the chat feature.

Might be good for Nifty to integrate with Zoom so videocalls could be done within the app or platform.

The whole team knows what to do, for when and the ability to have different projects is also used for the casual conversations that are very much needed right now.

Nifty makes it easy to organize my projects and provides integrations so that I can automatically get my tasks to the correct boards through email

I wish Nifty had a better way for those tasks to get created via email. Im currently using Zapier so that any email I get from clients goes into Nifty in the correct board but I wish it had more options to import those without the need to use Zapier. I also with there were an integration with Timeular.

I used to use Trello to manage all my accounts. Nifty does everything that Trello provided and Nifty does even more with more advanced views and client collaboration.

Nifty has all the tools we need to organize our projects and they continue to add to that tool set. The great looking, easy to read Dashboard (everyone loves the dark mode) make it popular with our employees. Uptime has been reliable and customer support has been top notch.

I'm not in love with the email to a project functionality. I've seen other PM tools that have a more streamlined approach than Nifty.

Communication with our remote team of devs has been much improved and the Github integration makes it that much harder for bugs to fall through the cracks.

It gives you a broader vision than just cards. With Nifty, you can connect cars to form milestones. Besides that, I can simple move cards across different boards and also Standish communication with my workmates through it if I want to. It’s been very helpful.

For now, Nifty has been very helpful for the team. He didn’t have any major problems with it.

With Nifty, I can create projects using the milestones tab. Also, I can check the team’s progress across different projects, which has been very useful for us.

I like that Nifty allows you to add custom fields. We do a lot of work with clients who use other project management solutions. We created a custom field to add a link to that specific task in their PM tool. Nice to see all of your projects in one solution when you are an agency. Also, love the ability to switch between kanban boards and lists.

I wish Nifty was easier to use with Zapier.

By tracking all of our client and internal projects, we're able to ensure we meet deadlines and are able to quickly identify when we may need to bring on additional resources to meet client needs.

I love the interface. It’s incredibly easy to manage multiple portfolios of projects with all the tools needed to execute initiatives.

Solid product! No dislikes. The team is doing a great job.

Project management

I like have an overview of all projects and tasks.

I really wish there was a preset per list or project similar to Omnifocus so I can have a default due date of 3 days, week or whatever I normally would have. My To-do for Website Updates would need a due date of 24-48 hours for example.

Organizing my clients and the projects/tasks for each.

Very intuitive Gantt chart style. Chatting with team members in real time. The Kanban view is very helpful

They keep on adding frequent updates requiring you to be updated with it's use at all times

Tracking of work progress assigned to teams. It acts as a one communication channel for all our teams.

I like that you can move sections around and get the view you want of your projects

Not much really, I don't see anything I disliked from it.

Project management and employee task assignation. It work very well. It also replace Slack, which is one tool less in the stack.

Extremely user friendly, and many tutorials can be found on youtube that cover just about anything you may need.

I have not identified anything which i dislike so far. Comparing it to other programs i have tried, i would say that it is much preferred to anything else i have tried.

Easy to track time spent on each client by my colleagues, and i am at all times on top of & up to date regarding all projects which is important as i tend to talk to almost all clients

I appreciate the intuitive layout of the system. It allows for a high level of customization without becoming overly complicated to learn. While there is a set number of user per plan, guests (ie single project people or clients) are unlimited. Setting access levels is incredibly granular making it easy to determine who can see what.

I wish there were a way to copy an entire milestone layout from one portfolio to another.

Collaborating with colleague on a long term, complex project. This tool allows us to easily share our work, process, status, and ideas without getting bogged down. HUGE time saver and improvement in communication.
