SmartTask Reviews

It is also one of those products in which there will be developments during launch time but no developments thereafter ....

Really there are no major developments recently not sure because of the budget crunch

As a newbie to this type of software, I have found it easy to use, so far!

Obviously, I need to use it a bit more and once I have had a real opportunity to get to know it inside out then I will complete another review later!

I love the concept and simplicity of this product. I think there's potential here, but for me, it is half-baked.

What I love:
1. Simple UI
- If you are looking for simple project management and just that with simple tools and task management to think this will help you.
2. Auto schedule
- I love the fact that it will automatically adjust all dependent tasks if you adjust.
3. Show Baseline
- You can see all the "previous" schedules with this you can compare where the project got delayed.

What I don't love
1. Configuration
- I can't configure my workspace or project; it is way too simple or limited.
Example:
In Profile, I can only edit:
a. General - Name and Profile
b. Preference - Default Workspace, Task Activity View
c. Account: Password
d. Email: Pending Task Updates, Task Activities.

In Workspace:
a. Name: Change the name of the workspace
b. Users: Add/Delete users and change roles
c. Advance Tab: delete organization

Project Settings:
Name, Description, Due Date Default View.

2. Slow load times
- Every time I get out of the board view, it seems to take a while to load all the boards.

3. Integration
I can't get used to the point that the integration is located in the "?" or "Help" icon; it's not even in the workspace's configuration list.
Also, Google Calendar is only one-way integration from ST to GCalc. I haven't checked other integration,

4. Timeline view
In Timeline, when you zoom in to show the dates, you will see Month and Day Number, you don't know if it's a weekend, so I have to open up my calendar to check if the date is a weekend.

5. No Project Wide File management.
You can't upload files project-wide. When uploading pictures, it won't give you a preview of the image, and it will just show the file name. No file information in files, like date uploaded or which task it is connected. No search function in the files.

Probably other things need to improve, but I've only used the product for 3hours, and I quit.

It's up to you if you'll buy one code and wait for them to improve their product. But they are not yet an alternative to Asana or Clickup. However, they said that they just raised money, and it will be used to develop their product further and hire great developers.

Time will only tell.

I've had a quick look and it seems OK, so for the price I'm rating it 5. Asana & Monday.com are expensive pieces of kit. I thought it might be slow over here in Australia but I'm happy with the speed, no problems there.

One thing to love about SmartTask above all other PM platforms is the Portfolio feature. It gives you a quick 1 page overview of ALL projects.

Automated checkins is great as well.

Need some improvements on the
- Calendar. I would like to see all tasks for all people across projects
- Mobile App. Needs some more features and the navigation between Chat. Contacts. Project. there all seems to be a disconnect. I have to click on the menu, click on projects. I am using the iOS version
- Reporting
- Integrations. Could not find any

Overall, if you're still looking for that PM tool to onboard your team, then definitely check out SmartTask before time runs out!!

P.S. No option for unlimited users though 100 users is pretty much plenty for most. Bloo has unlimited :)
