Samepage

Vorteile

Some of the best features in Samepage are task management (ability to assign tasks, including participants), chatting and commenting directly with team members directly on the task/event/document in reference (rather than using email and having to explain what task/project/event/etc.), being able to collaborate on documents at the same time, and real-time audio/video conferencing (great for remote teams).

Nachteile

The way it is laid out, it is easy to duplicate tasks and events. It seems they are actively implementing improvements for this though.
The desktop app isn't responsive to older/irregular screen sizes (have to side scroll), but the browser/web version works great.

Warum Samepage gewählt wurde

Samepage is easier to use (for non-techies) and is more cost effective for small teams.

Asana

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Samepage

Samepage had the core features we needed for a small organization (project management, internal communications, and file sharing) and was more cost-effective.

Vorteile

I love the ease of use and being able to manage all of my team's communication all in one place. We create project plans, chat, share files, set up private communications with clients, and so much more.

Nachteile

It is hard to find something that I like least about Samepage. Since I've been using project management software for many years so the transition into using Samepage was easy for me. For newbies, there may be a steep learning curve at first to learn how Samepage manages content in teams instead of projects. Otherwise, I would say it was easy for me to get started with.

Vorteile

- the free option meets most of our needs adequately
- love that the chat & audio/video calling is integrated

Nachteile

- no date stamp on when tasks are completed is the single biggest negative for us
- no ability to have parent/child tasks or sub-tasks and individualise deadlines on those sub-tasks or have a timeline, the alternatives are to either create multiple tasks for something that is actually just one task with multiple stages involving multiple people, or to juggle names on the personal assigned responsibility field... so choose between clutter or messiness :(
- no ability to quickly and easily export content to have a backup (with the free version, users can easily accidentally or intentionally cause huge damage)

Zoho Projects, Trello und Wrike

Warum Samepage gewählt wurde

we had chosen Insightly for two features - task management and to generate progress reports, neither of which it did well for us... it wasn't worth it to retain paid subscriptions for the task management when Samepage does as well and we are now exploring options with another product for the reporting.

Insightly

Vorteile

Samepage has all the features I need to operate as a manger of multiple large construction projects/contracts. The initial integration with existing business process was easy as I was able to customize pretty much everything to suit my organization's needs. Being a small business, I found it especially helpful to update as things shifted and expanded. An additional benefit was the great value for the cost.

Nachteile

Sometimes wish there was more color themes to brighten up the interface, but overall I greatly appreciate the clean & simple appearance.

Slack

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Samepage

Had all the features I needed to operate as a manger of multiple large construction projects/contracts. Other alternative products either did not have the complete features needed or were over featured and not customizable enough.

Vorteile

The ease of connecting individuals to their personal project and my team members who are on board with me to successfully complete it.

Nachteile

Honestly, nothing. It solves so many problems!

HoneyBook

Warum Samepage gewählt wurde

Honeybook- although it seems streamline- I feel like it was hard to have others collaborate on a page. Maybe it was "user error" but SamePage seemed to make wayy more sense to me.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Samepage

So user friendly! I love how different teams can form, and I can label each team something different (I label mine by wedding date and couple.)
