Nifty

What differentiates Nifty from other similar products?

The team loves the UI, took a while getting used to it but there are lots of documentation. I personally found that Nifty offers customization that fits you, allowing you to use it with ease. The team is also constantly improving the product, which is a good sign. Highly recommend if you are looking for a PM tool :)

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The built-in chat and how I can link attachments to different tasks and team members.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing to dislike at the moment, will update if they introduce a new feature or break existing one.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Assign yourself two weeks to learn it, go through documentation and don't be nervous to ask support for help!

What differentiates Nifty from other similar products?

The integration of Google Docs, strategic planning and full integration of tasks into the bigger strategic picture works wonderfully.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Having shared Google Docs to create notes is an awesome idea and works great

What do you dislike most about this product?

The number of customization settings was lacking for us. It can do a LOT, but sometimes I don't want to fill in all the fields or even have them visible. And sometimes I wanted a more clear, intuitive method to connect dependencies. This was quite time-consuming. We have found some sort of a flow now, but are not 100% sure we won't be looking into other solutions in the future

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is a great all in.1 solution for managing tasks and connecting them to the bigger picture

What differentiates Nifty from other similar products?

Nifty is designed to be used immediately with a minimal learning curve. It has some advanced capabilities that need a bit of "how-to" instruction which is super easy to find and then implement. Nifty is set up the same way my brain works. It just makes sense from the get-go. Other platforms required a lot of trial and error to fully understand how they worked. If you input something here how will it affect it over there and there?

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's easy to use. I have a lot to do in day and I don't have time to try to figure out how to use something that is supposed to be helping me save time. With Nifty I go in, create a portfolio, add a project, add tasks to that project with reminders and due dates and I'm on to the next thing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'm not crazy about the UI of the mobile app and I wish it had a widget to easily add tasks from my home screen. Also the desktop version I downloaded gets a little cranky every now and again. (I've never had a single problem with the web app)

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a project management tool that will help you stay organized (and more) I would suggest you stop looking and try this one. A free trial should give you enough info to decide if you want to find something else. As a "tool" junkie, I tried everything available as of November 2021. I tried this one because I happened to see it (I forget where) and have never looked for another one. I wasted a lot of time trying everything else. This one just works.
