Samepage

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

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

Ability to communicate with the entire team in a seamless manner and to do so promptly and efficiently Samepage enables us to more efficiently share documents, vital information, and communicate amongst ourselves by streamlining communication. It's incredible to be able to edit and update in real time.

Nachteile

We'd want to see more integrations from services other than those offered by Zapier. I'd like the application to be a little more clear about which files are shared with people I add. I'd like to see more categories or format for that can be shared directly from this application.

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)

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Trello, Wrike und Zoho Projects

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

There no end of features that are available here in Samepage. I mostly use it to collaborate on online project with my team, and we also can communicate on the application and the communication platform is very good as we can have a private message and a public chat room which we can connect with other colleague.

Nachteile

The notification can be a giant mess especially when you activated the notification for a chat or messenger. They will keep sent email notification for every single message that you receive and your email will be full of the same notification emails.
