My Life with Ora
Moving a personal project regardless of scope and size is very easy. For teams: - I've easily used some of the collaboration features and splitting some tasks was pretty rewarding. - I've never had the opportunity to suggest Ora as a PM tool for the teams where I've worked simply because the expensive licenses for the famous enterprise solutions were already bought. On occasion, I'd always suggest Ora.
PROSI use Ora every day. That's because it's more suitable and featureful than any personal planning application I've met so far. I'm not saying it's a mere tool for managing one's daily activities, I'm saying that for a full-fledged and enterprise-ready project management application it allows you even that, unlike most of the big players.
CONSWhat I didn't like about Ora, is my indecisiveness in which template to choose when I start a new project. But is this really Ora's problem or my personal trait?

Exactly what I needed
I knew this was going to be a really good software the minute I signed up, there onboarding process was so good. It leaves you with such a good first impressions. It's like if Asana + Trello had a baby because you get all the paid features that Asana and Trello offers. What really sold me on this was that that I could have a proper scrum board for for me and my team in software development. This software worked so well, I created a marketing board, software board, editorial, business canvas and then I started creating boards to manage my entire personal life. Lastly, as an entrepreneur, there's an agenda view. This will pull all your tasks across all your boards even personal and organization into a daily task list. This is so amazing because you can manage your every day tasks all in one view.
CONSThe software is very buggy. It's new software. Seems like there is a lot of features for a very small team so there is sporadic UI bugs that happen all over the place.

I am very happy with Ora, I use it daily to keep everything well organized. I can confidently forget about the things I've saved in Ora."
PROSYou can easily switch between different projects... There is also an IOS APP, so you can always access your data...
CONSI would like to share projects with more people...
Reason for choosing Ora
Price and options. If I would use all options in Trello it would be very expensive!

Ora is great App overall
Experience has been great overall. Despite the fact the company I work for did not adopt it, I still use it for my own personal use for task tracking.
PROSThe task manager is great. I found it easy to keep track of what needs to happen and when. The feature that attracted me to Ora was the time tracker and reporting system as well. The interface is superb. I'm glad they updated the calendar view to allow one to schedule tasks in a similar way that a calendar works.
CONSThe ability to apply templates is not as intuitive or easy to use. It's 100% based on the internet and has no offline options. Making it dependent on internet connection all the time. An easy way to note information and memo's (web clips and notes about an item or task) is not as intuitive or easy. Like making minutes from a meeting etc Ability to create hierarchy of information that different people would be able to view was not possible from the limited information I knew about the software.
Reasons for switching to Ora
I switched from Notion, but now have to use both. Notion serves a great information archive for projects. Project tracking, Time tracking and project reporting was very easy with Ora

Great Software for Individual Task Management
It is good to manage my work tasks but I found it kind of heavy to manage smaller tasks
PROS- I liked how comprehensive it was and how it had a time tracking option in the free tier
CONS- It got kind of messy when I tried to view all my tasks across the various boards - Other task managements had a cleaner UI but lacked a lot of features
Reason for choosing Ora
The available features in the free tier. Since, I was using it for myself, I did not care too much about the collaboration features

Ora is my favorite task management tool
Excellent. I love Ora and how it helps me to accomplish complex tasks by breaking down projects into their components and helping me to organize what needs to be done, what I am working on, and what has been completed.
PROSI love the many features that allow me to organize my lists of tasks in ways that make sense to me, and automated functions that save time and effort.
CONSOra is designed for teams of many people to coordinate and work together on a large task, where I am using it for a very small team, so sometimes getting it to apply to our smaller operation takes a bit of thought, but we are still able to make it work very well, even for one or two people instead of a team of 20-40 or more.

Ability to slide tasks or items to different columns, and customize what happens when completed items are checked
CONSWhen the column get very full, it becomes more difficult to scroll across the screen to see columns that are not visible. This became much easier when we learned how to subsection everything appropriately.

Easy to use Kanban-style project management tool
Our business has a lot of creative minds collaborating on several projects, and before we started using Ora, project management was a nightmare. We weren't communicating well, we were struggling with 8 people on a cumbersome worksheet, missed deadlines, projects not turning out as well as we'd hoped. With this little organizational tool, things just fell into place, team members began using it right away because it's so intuitive.
PROSI started using a full-sized, hang-on-the-wall sticky-note Kanban board in my office years ago. I love the Kanban concept, and to be able to have it in electronic, highly customizable form has been a real plus for my team. Instead of shooting emails or IMs back and forth, we all have access to the boards for our various projects and have an immediate visual of what's been done and what needs to happen. We can color code to prioritize tasks, and it's really improved productivity.
CONSI'd like to find a way to integrate it with SalesFlare workflow, but other than that, simple is better. Ora has taken a simple concept and made it digital, without the end user having to kill an entire weekend just to figure it out. There is really nothing I don't love about Ora.
Reason for choosing Ora
Other products were either too expensive, too cumbersome, didn't do what we needed, or did way more than we would ever need. Ora was the perfect fit for a small company with big ideas.
Reasons for switching to Ora
We had to do something to improve our communications on projects since we all work remotely now.

Finally! A PM software Dev team that gets it!
Absolutely blown away by this product. I’m doing everything in my power to transition our entire company from Asana to Ora!
PROSI can’t even begin to go into all the pros of this app. I’ve been using Asana for years. I’ve been the one to introduce it to our company. But every single thing that frustrates me about a Asana 0ra figured out! Pipeline, Oraa chat (coming soon :-), the way they handle sub tasks, sprints, Project views, list type, agenda view, List actions, Time tracking, timeline. It’s just unbelievable what this team has created!
CONSHonestly, the only thing I’m waiting for is mobile apps (iPhone/iPad) at this stage in the game.
Reason for choosing Ora
In my opinion the value that you get from this product at the price point of six dollars a month is far and away the best value than anyone is offering. Hands-down the best in the industry!

Reasons for switching to Ora
I switched because they have the features I need included and their roadmap is quite exciting. I was able to purchase a lifetime deal which was a no brainer.

A project manager that does what you need and does it well
Ora is an outstanding Project Management product. Far from being a multi-tool solution, it focuses on a small set of futures and performs extremely well. Its snappy and minimal interface stays out of the way letting teams get work done. There’s even a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux. I highly recommend giving it a try.
PROSA beautiful, clean-looking app. Focused on doing the crucial duty of a project management system with a lot of competence and very little of those bloating unproductive features. You start at Ora by creating your first project. While most applications will lock you on a specific framework — like Kanban boards or task lists — Ora offers a whole set of templates, pre-adjusted for diverse scenarios. Those could be an event, an issue tracker, a full-fledged Scrum layout, a simple to-do list and more. Advanced users may start with a blank canvas and design their perfect environment.
CONSComments inside tasks are sorted from the oldest to the newest. Some threads can get long end scrolling down to what you need to see ends up taking more time than necessary. The ability to reverse that and have the sorting as a personal preference would be wonderful. Ora doesn’t have an iOS app yet. The app has been on the company’s roadmap for a while and a beta is already out there. This doesn’t affect me much since most of my work is done while I am on my main computer, but I am sure lots of people out there could benefit from the mobile experience. I don’t mind using the mobile web version of anything when the functionality is not compromised. It’s not the case here. Ora on the mobile browser does not provide the same seamless experience you get on the desktop version.

All the bits you want, minimal learning curve. Go straight to work!
Organization and time tracking!
PROSI signed up for ora before it was released because I was trying to find something to keep me organized, keep track of time working on the various projects I have going on, and eventually collaborate with others on certain projects. I have used a lot of todo, time tracking, project management etc and some are great, some are horrible, and some are really good but are missing a piece. Basecamp for example is great. I love it for keeping everyone on the same page but it doesn't do the time tracking I wanted. The people at Ora seem to have gone through all the software I did and came to the same conclusion, close but not quite there. I started using it for a single project and am very happy with the deceptively simple platform. At first glance it looks like a clone of Trello, but hey, whats that on the end of this task? A time tracking button! What happens when you double click the list item? Notes, due dates, estimated completion time/goal, an audit trail of every interaction with the task and by whom, and several other useful options. While it may lack a little polish in the looks department at the moment, its pretty close and I'm very happy with it so far. Can't wait to see the polished up version!
CONSThe appearance could use a little more work. I love minimalism but it just needs a little more work with typography and overall look. Not being able to pick a custom background color without having a premium account is a little lame... Haven't really noticed any cons besides that.

The design and interface is awesome and I can organize and track my work, share files and communicate with my colleagues with such ease and it is very user-friendly and easy it is to navigate, not to mention that it all happens in real time.

Best Project Management Software and getting better
This is a continual learning process for me. Prior to this, I used to-do programs for project tasks and it wasn't effective at all. Ora brings it all together is a project management tool, versus just to-do lists. There's a lot to learn and I need to spend the time to learn all of its features. I still use Microsoft project for Work Breakdown Structures (Gantt chart) but that's about it. Otherwise, I'm using Ora to manage my projects.
PROSthis software has all the features and functionality needed for project management. They recently added a timeline feature which is helpful. The best feature for me is the time tracking. I can track time easily for each task and project. It has many configurations and I'm in the process of creating templates to reuse for similar projects which will be extremely helpful.
CONSNavigation or ease of use. It's not exactly intuitive to use. I spent a bit of time learning how to find the functionality that I need. It's there, I just have to search for it.

We use Ora to keep tracking on what we work on. We charge clients based on it, so its very important
Organization and time tracking is the main function of Ora. Jobs and tasks can be organized in Kanban cards for teams, is perfect! The basic functionality already worth the tool, but there are much more, like checklists, milestones, etc.
PROSOra has a beautiful interface and the team keep updating this tool always! Sometimes I can see an alert telling me about somenthing new! Kanban/cards organization is really useful and helps to keep the project flow. I love the 'checklist' option inside one task, it helps a lot!

My goto for time tracking!
Easy to use, my goto for time tracking, it was a great price for me on Appsumo!
PROSI got it on a lifetime deal from appsumo and it works great for what I need. I use it as a time tracking software for hourly jobs. Easy to setup a template and just use that for my time tracking of other projects.
CONSMore of a user error, but if I leave it running and forget about it, I have a long time period and I have to go back and fix the time, sometimes fixing the time isn't super intuitive. On the whole project the time sometimes looks wrong but if I go into the time tracker it is right. It takes them forever to bring out updates and new features from the time they put it on their radar.

Mainly price and ease of setup for time tracking.
