Listen carefully, this is from a web developer/managers perspective.

- PM Features

We manage a lot of different types of projects for our clients and it's always been a complete mess to structure and organize these projects in a PM, in Ora this is very clear and precise and it's very fast.

- Cards & time tracking

Plus, we can do bulk changes to cards and track time on check-lists (sub-tasks in others) - this gives us granular stats on how each of these sub-tasks take to complete. This is important, because an employee might spend hours on a task that should only take a fraction of that, without tracking time like this, we would only see the whole tasks consumed time - and I'm quite sure this applies to organizations in other areas.

- Usability and UI

Compared to other PM's, Ora get out of it's way in trying to make the basic UI very simple - this makes on-boarding easier and faster - and they also go one step further by giving us the ability to turn off features that certain employees don't use or don't need to see, further removing complexity to give focus on the actual work that needs to be done.

- Agenda & Task overview

The agenda is a well structured calendar that focuses the work with a time-line (Coming soon...™), this is similar to Plutio but with proper day-to-day separation page instead of "filters" which makes it clearer and faster to work with.

- Working with tasks

Working on an actual task is very straightforward and very powerful, actions are done by the buttons on top of the card and this makes the interface less cluttered and keep focus on the actual content of the card. Other systems like Plutio and Gitscrum, try to put the information into "sections", which makes it very hard to focus on a specific area of information - this is due to information overflow, a very common problem with PM's in general (Especially ExtJS based ones like Tine and Group-Office).

- Load-time and performance

Most other PM's either load a whole new page on each thing you click on - or - load a very big chunk of data (up to 20MB!) before you can start working - Ora load each parts when it's needed which has all the advantages of performance and usability without any drawbacks.

- Is Ora perfect yet?

No, there's things missing like global search, Zapier integration, basic CRM and no Mobile Apps - things that other PM's have! But all of these are on the roadmap and from the looks of it, Ora is developing very fast to add these missing features, most of which are coming in the near month or so.

There are also a few bugs, due to them releasing V2 just recently.

- Are there competitors with more features?

Yes, MANY! - but they don't have a lifetime deal.
