Quire Erfahrungen

Vorteile

It was all free first and being improved, developed continuously.
Eventually it became even better.

Nachteile

Pricing changed after a few years.
I guess it was a bit of a disappointment.

Vorteile

Quire basically just works: you can track and organize tasks, the mobile app is adequate, and you can even get fancy with deadlines and priorities. Solid free tier, perfectly suitable for individual users.

By and large, the product direction seems unobtrusive and stable: no constantly shifting UI changes or terrible ML-powered features shoved down your throat. Huge win, really.

Nachteile

I'm really not sure I would swap to Quire for serious, cross-team project management. Too much of my work (programming) is tightly integrated with Github, and the standards for cross-linking tasks and providing context is really high.

Trello

Warum Quire gewählt wurde

I needed more complex lists, and a better system for keeping them organized.

Vorteile

Quire for the past two years has been a game changer in task and project management.
Availability of mobile application is one the best aspects since it allows me to work on the go.

Nachteile

Quire mobile application though requires internet connection to perform even a single aspect.

Vorteile

Clean, open spaces, no clutter. Connected with Gmail easily

Nachteile

This software has no templates,. It is a very basic task software

Teamwork.com, Airtable und Asana

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Quire

I didn't. I went with Airtable as I felt the interface was more user-friendly and I liked the templates that were available.

Vorteile

The overall user interface.

It has all the same features as other task management apps. But all the bells and whistles are aggregated deeper. So at face value it is not super overwhelming.

It just looks like a list you would scratch on a piece of paper. Top down.

But then you can get into the Kanban Boards, graphs, charts, etc. but they are not initially cluttering.

Nachteile

There is only one thing that I dislike about it.

I have an Android phone and have changed the display density and if a task is due tomorrow the word tomorrow gets cut off and brought to the next line Even though there is plenty of space.

Vorteile

Customer service. They've taken my requests and built features that I suggested, and followed up with me about them. And I've worked with the same customer support folks there for years now.

Nachteile

Little things. The UI for mobile feels a bit slidey a little roundabout for some ways of manipulating tasks. And they're still building out custom fields, etc.

Vorteile

Great Customer Service, Great task management, very versatile with all of the different view types. Good value.

Nachteile

Takes some people a bit of time to understand how the software functions.

Vorteile

ease of usage on a daily basis, on several devices

Nachteile

Impossible to make a search on project if you are not connected to internet.

Vorteile

Quire allocates PM, TM, time clock and expense tracking capabilities which allows me to save time and improve productivity in real-time.

Nachteile

Even though I use Quire as Smartsheet alternative, I find nothing to dislike.

Vorteile

Quire has a mobile application which allows me to automate workflow on the go.

Nachteile

I am not a daily user but I hardly land into errors when using this tool.

Vorteile

Everything, but i Prefer:
- Possibility to assign a single task to multiple user (and when it's get done, it goes away for everyone)
- Possibility to organize yours tasks by organization, projects and boards
- Possibility to create weekly, monthly, etc tasks
- Possibility to attach document to each task
- User friendly
- French language ! (and the translation is good!)
- The generosity and help from the customer service (as a small and poor charity organisation who rely on volunteers who work from home, we need this kind of service to complete our projects)

Nachteile

- maybe the fact that when you look a subtask on a board , you can't see their connection to the "complete task" and it can be somewhat confusing to differentiate between similar subtask (Actually we just have to always name the subtask with the name of the complete task, so we have a way around)

Vorteile

Simple.

Fast.

Intuitive.

Not distracting.

Gives everything a freelancer, SMBs or corporate might need.

It's not overly complicated with unnecessary features.

Tree structure is absolutely awesome! This way you can break every project into actually manageable tasks.

Every task or subtask can have priority, start and due date, responsible person or external team and files attached.

FREE.

Nachteile

Minimalistic view might give an impression it's super basic and won't provide what you need [but the truth is exactly the opposite].

Some people might find lack of chat or message board a disadvantage [but for me tasks comments are enough and allow me to keep things tidy].

There is no calendar view so it can be seen as a negative by some people [but there is a timeline view which is good enough for me].

Not sure how pricing structure will look like in the future.

ClickUp und Asana

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Quire

For me personally it felt most intuitive and had all the features I wanted to have. After testing Quire and 2 other tools I decided Quire works best for my individual needs. One of the points was the ability to have all projects / workspaces available on the left panel so I can see all the most important things without clicking back and forth. Also the design is not overwhelming so that's a positive.

Vorteile

- Nested checklists
- Ability to adjust settings for each task regardless if it is nested or not
- Incredible due date functionality
- Constant updates based on customer feedback
- Free to use
- Basic reporting capability
- Kanban board
- Many ways to visualize what you're working on (tags, statuses, due dates, descriptions, assignees)

Nachteile

- Seems simple to use, but there's so many details to learn. Having training would be great!
- Sometimes updates interrupt my workflow. I can usually learn to work around it.

Warum Quire gewählt wurde

We grew out of Trello when we needed better checklist functionality. We got exactly what we wanted with Quire!

Zuvor genutzte Software

Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Quire

Quire was simple and had basic reporting that we needed. We also wanted managers to have the ability to view employee projects, which Quire had.

Vorteile

It is really easy to assign tasks and track the progress.
My team actually enjoys using it to work together and know how far along each of us are.
Also, while we do not use them, I could see us utilizing a lot of integrations in the future.

Nachteile

It's really not a big thing, but changing the status on the main page could be more customizable - rather than a click to complete, it could be a click to select status.

Warum Quire gewählt wurde

Free version was too small for us, paid version offered too many things we did not need.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Quire

In full honesty - quire just offered exactly what we needed at the moment.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to add tasks into Projects. I also enjoy being able to contact the support team with ideas for new features and functions.
It is great to have the tasks online and others to be able to tick off tasks as they are going.

Nachteile

It would be great to have further reporting functionality and perhaps a Power BI plug in?

Ease of use, it has a great free package as well.

Vorteile

The thing that Quire does best is exactly what I've struggled with using tools such as Trello. Most of us don't get the luxury of being able to work on only one thing, and keeping track of all the different buckets of stuff without an overarching structure is a cognitive load that can become overwhelming.

Quire let's you create a structure containing multiple buckets, create views (sublists) to work with the parts that are relevant for different teams, play with structures until it all makes sense - everything that makes it easy to manage competing priorities and swap "hats".

Each focus can then be managed on a board view while maintaining sync with the overall list view.
This has become my absolute favourite personal productivity tool and I'm just starting to recruit others so I can prove it in a team context - there is a Trello conversion which worked well for my personal todos but might not be quite as smooth for the mammoth boards we have for dev work.
Oh, and, it's absolutely free!!!

Nachteile

It's still pretty new so people don't know about it. There is an app market but few options as yet - for example, integration with Outlook is only with Todos, not meetings, and only one way (Quire->Outlook). I'd love to be able to add Outlook meetings automatically into my Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week board so I don't overload tasks into a meeting heavy day (that reminds me - ability to do recurring tasks is built in, yay!)

Vorteile

Quire has all the tools that i need for my team to collaborate and sharing the workload that we are working on. The software dashboard is so simple, that i have no problem finding the right tools to use, and it will show all my task and project on the main page for easy access to them.

Nachteile

Communication platform is one of the things that this software should upgrade. For now, they lacks in this field and to having a quick message with my team on the software is almost impossible. They also should introduce build-in template for the task, so we don't have to create if from the scratch.

Vorteile

The surface is very intuitive, you can start right away and find your way through it.

Nachteile

You have to be careful not to accidentally delete information.

Vorteile

I can 'deep dive' doing sub tasks to sub tasks as deep as I like, and each point can have their own deadline, description, labels, comments etc. With other platforms each task only has one deadline but you know, things aren't always that simple. There are big goals and there are little objectives that need to be met to reach those goals, and there are errands that need to be done before you can do those objectives. Quire allows you to plot all these out, assign them to different people and with different deadlines. Its great.

Also its free, at least for now.

Nachteile

Its only a little thing and isn't really an issue: When you sort the tasks in order of due date, you don't know which sub-tasks are for what task. So lets say for example you have different clients that all need the same three tasks done for them (task A, B & C), and with different deadlines. When you sort in order of due date, you notice that task A is due tomorrow - but you don't know who for. Unless you clear the sorting, there's no way of knowing. Of course you can just select the specific sub-task, turn off the sort and turn it back on again when you know who it is, but then what about the other sub-tasks? Its only a mild inconvenience and I don't really use the due date sort that often anyway.

Vorteile

First it is free! Amazing! And then it really helps me having a global vision of our business plans and projects, it is quite easy to use and all of our team members got used pretty rapidly to all work in Quire instead of sending chats and endless emails threads.

Nachteile

Not really... at this point it is just a question of discipline and sticking to our methods for communications. Maybe a fonction to send directly to our email any mentions with a @myname in case the Bell sign up there is filled with too many notifications.

Vorteile

One thing that was a real mind-blow was how simple Quire is. It's super simple, clear and user-friendly. On top of that, it is one of those task management tools that let you expand on the task to its most minutious details. Nesting allows you to create tasks and subtasks that are coherent and relatable.

Nachteile

To maintain the simplicity Quire decided to sacrifice some functionality features. I personally don't mind because there are a great many tools out there focusing on expanding on different functions. Quire should remain simple even it means that it should look somewhat rudimentary.

Vorteile

The hierarchical ordering of tasks has allowed me to break down my to-do list into extremely organized and manageable goals. The additional functionality of Quire (priority setting, tags, filtered and sorted views, etc.) only adds to their already fantastic platform.

Additionally, their customer service is out of this world. Within several days of signing up for Quire, Crystal, a member of their team, reached out to me via email asking how I was liking the product. I responded with a question that was answered within 15 minutes (at 10pm no less). I then responded, adding that I thought the addition of data regarding the time spent on tasks would be helpful, and Crystal emailed back writing that Quire will add a timer feature for such a purpose.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the software and can't wait to see it progress as its popularity increases (as I'm sure it will).

Nachteile

The only thing I would like to see that currently does not exist is the aforementioned timing data for tasks. As I said in my pro column, when I mentioned this to Crystal, I got a quick response saying that a feature would be added, so I can't say I even have any cons.

Vorteile

Intuitive user interface with chat-note panel for tasks; browser based app easy to run on all Linux computers.

Nachteile

Outsourced secure cloud servers (AWS AZURE etc). I would much prefer if Quire controlled their own disk drivers and servers in house. Not sure if how much it cosgts for customer server installations.

Vorteile

1. Quire has helped me in streamlining my day to day work, both personal and my business related work. I work with to-do lists alot so I like the to do list feature of quire and I use it often. 2. I like the task management feature I assign tasks to team members and track their progress easily.
3. the advanced scheduling feature helps me to arrange my schedule which can be very hectic most time. I recommend Quire for management

Nachteile

Communication such as chats can be improved. it takes time to deliver sometimes

Vorteile

Simple and easy - the UX and UI is amazing

Nachteile

I dont have anythimg negative to say about Quire
