It's like Trello, Basecamp, and Glip were all merged into one!

Pros

  • Versatility
  • Project Management
  • Neurodiverse - Allowing user to choose view of their choice (kanban, swimlane, list, calendar)
  • Ability to break down projects and tasks with multiple variables
  • Task Management
  • Integrations
  • Consistently adding new features / improving software

Cons

  • It's not a pretty platform (it's extremely intuitive, but the color scheme and fonts are less than visually appealing)
  • Tasks can be broken down once into subtasks, but I'd like to see the ability to break them down infinitely
  • Due to the frequent improvements and feature upgrades, I have to re-authorize the Zoom integration from time to time - no biggie, unless realizing the need to re-authorize when needing to hop on a call

Most Important Features

  • Extremely versatile project management
  • Ability to collaborate with others (both inside and outside of the organization)
  • Recurring tasks
  • Time-tracking for each task
  • Ease of use
  • Ability to use different view depending on type of project

Return on Investment

  • It's paid for itself many times over in being able to use just one platform instead of paying for multiple platforms to do what Nifty does in pieces
  • The time saved from knowing all project management is in one central location
  • Time saved from having templates and the ease of use

Alternatives Considered

NIfty's got all the required and good to have features for managing a Project efficiently!

Pros

  • Task management - Nifty helps us with ineffective task management through comprehensive Gantt chart functionality which we use all the time!
  • Extremely easy to use and setup with institutive user interface
  • Inbuilt Chat functionality - it is great to have an inbuilt chat feature to have all the conversations related to a project localized in a single place ensuring great accessibility
  • Capability to integrate with various document management and meeting platforms

Cons

  • Time Expense could be improved since we cannot edit the previous/past time logs entered.
  • Lacks expense management and Purchase order management functionality
  • Newest product updates are not always stable and I had to reach Nifty's support team a couple of times in the past to fix the issues with new updates e.g. our document management and meeting integrations had to be re-authorized

Most Important Features

  • Task Tracking
  • Inbuilt Documentation / note taking capability
  • Project estimation, timeline management and Gantt charting capabilities

Return on Investment

  • Improvised the overall project management, task tracking across business lines where we introduced Nifty replacing the previous PM platform
  • Increase efficiency of our team
