Hubstaff Tasks

Excellent Product but no active Development

Comments: Love the product but hope the development continues as well.

Pros:

Super fast. Templates to quickly use working workflows for task tracking. Sprints to opt-in/opt-out to as every project doesn't belong in a sprint. Asynchronous Daily standups so your team can update the status at their time.

Cons:

No active development. No mobile app. No webhooks / API. No integrations like Slack. No active roadmap with active customer feedback loop.

Alternatives Considered: Todoist

Reasons for Choosing Hubstaff Tasks: When I left Todoist it didnt had Boards. Now I am considering going back to Todoist.

Switched From: Todoist

Reasons for Switching to Hubstaff Tasks: Cost, platform speed and Time tracking.

Easy to get stated & versatile

Comments: Being able to use it as a commutation/portal with my clients in a creative agency type capacity is fantastic. It replaces the need for many tools at one time. Using that way allows for transparency on the client end, too, since they can be notified every time we complete a Pinterest Pin Design for them or an hour of Pinterest VA work, etc.

Pros:

Having tried many Project Manager tools, Hubstaff Tasks is the most drop-dead simple to get started with a simple workflow quickly. It has the core features you need to get up & running with a Kanban flow. It's easy to make a quick board either with a blank template or one their preset workflows. Very low-friction.

Cons:

There are a few basic things that could improve the product. Being able to Copy & Paste a whole project (or even just a card) & just re-title it would be great. I use the service as a portal for my Pinterest Pin Design clients (www.pinpals.design), so just being able to reuse the same reject over again for a new client, rather than having to create a whole new project from scratch each time would save me a lot of time each month. Also wish that the site worked a bit better on mobile. I've noticed it's too easy to drag an item out of place on touch interfaces, etc.

Alternatives Considered: Teamwork

Reasons for Choosing Hubstaff Tasks: Easier to use for my needs, mixed with cost, & ease of on boarding clients. Also like the other products by Hubstaff.

Switched From: Trello

Reasons for Switching to Hubstaff Tasks: For the reasons above.

The cost is a burden on a start-up like us.

Review as standalone developer, that use Hubstaff to my clients

Comments: It's like Trello,.

Pros:

Of course, time tracker, owned report and tasks.

Cons:

There's not enough functionality for standalone developer.

Effortless Sharing for Remote Workers

Comments: Positive overall experience. Easily share tasks and completed work with my manager.

Pros:

Keeps the lines of communication regarding expectations open between myself and my remote supervisor. Easier to stay on top of tasks and priorities without exchanging dozens of emails.

Cons:

Took a bit of time to understand and utilize all available features. It could be a bit more intuitive.
