That days are gone with Lano. I am always aware of where I stand financially. #### Cons I would love to have a bridge between Lano and Toggl to automatically charge my design hours to my recurring clients. #### Reasons for switching to Lano Pricing and features --- ### Highly recommended! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lauren T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. On searching for a EOR partner we had various conversations with different businesses offering similar services at different stages of maturity in their own company lifecycles. Lano albeit the youngest, and earliest stage company but the one that stood out the most to us for various reasons such as customer service, cost, flexibility and values. Being an early stage start up ourselves we where really looking for a partner that shared similar values to our businesses and that could offer the support and flexibility a young business like our requires. From start to finish the Lano team where proactive, responsive, professional and most importantly flexible - they really understood us and our needs. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have been nothing but amazing, constantly going above and beyond to ensure we have the support we need and we are receiving nothing but exceptional service from the platform and their partners. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We use both Lano as a Global Employment Platform as well as a Management platform to manage our freelancers across. Not only does Lano help us to access diverse talent across the globe, it helps us to do this in inexpensive and manageable way. I like to describe Lano and their global employment partners as our HRBP without the huge overheads. #### Cons The only features I feel are missing come more from the freelance/contractor management platform side of the software. We also employ freelancers from around the globe so similar to having the compliance/labour law market knowledge on the EOR side of things through their partners such as Capital GES it would be great to have this potential offering maybe on on the freelancer side of things or pre-vetted partners they can recommend that can provide legal counsel that we can access through the platform i.e. check that the contractor/freelancer has all the compliant business insurance etc. #### Reasons for choosing Lano We chose Lano over these alternative products due to their platform offering, cost, customer service and most importantly values and level of flexibility. --- ### Thanks for nothing - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Lano caters heavily to They claim support from over 170 countries, but I find I get 403 (forbidden) errors when accessing the home page unless I use a VPN to pretend to be in Europe or the USA. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros Nothing. It's like a scarecrow. It kinda resembles functional software from a distance. But when you try to use it you realize it's a Potemkin village. Slick website, but the functionality underneath is barely functional, full of bugs, with a UI that was certainly never tested. No way to get help or report anything. #### Cons I am forced to use it to get paid, but it's utterly broken and there is no way to report bugs, provide feedback or get help. Site is plastered with "Get a Demo" popups to induce clients to use it. But the core product is barely functional (actually not even functional...) from the perspective of a downstream user who has no choice. Also they claim support for over 170 countries, but I find I get 403 (forbidden) errors when accessing the home page unless I use a VPN to pretend to be in Europe or the USA. --- ### Great way for freelancers to work with clients - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sandra R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I really enjoy that you can follow the invoicing status, so you always know what's happening and when to expect your money.

Primeiro a plataforma me envia um e-mail informando que meu cliente me convocou para uma tarefa. Eu entro na plataforma no link do próprio e-mail e abro minha tarefa. Então eu executo o trabalho e atualmente faço a entrega na própria plataforma. Então eu aperto em tarefa concluída e aguardo meu cliente aprovar ou solicitar revisão. Após a aprovação eu envio a fatura pela plataforma e aguardo o meu pagamento. Se todos os meus clientes utilizassem uma plataforma como o Lano, facilitaria grandemente o meu trabalho.

Hoje, eu abro o site e ele é traduzido automaticamente. --- ### Easy to use and quick - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros easy usability, nice design, functionalities that benefit me #### Cons some wordings are different from what I would say, like projects and tasks --- ### All-in-One Lösung für Partner Management und Produktionsprozesse - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sebastian G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Insgesamt bin ich ausgesprochen zufrieden mit Lano. Es hilft uns täglich Projekte in Time, Budget und Quality auszuliefern. Sowohl wir als e-Learning Agentur als auch unsere Partner profitieren stark von all den Features, die Lano bietet.

Die Kommunikation über Lano ist genau so möglich wie der Status zu verschiedenen Aufgaben innerhalb der Projekte. Besonders Praktisch finde ich das internationale Payment, was über Lano zu einem "Klacks" wird! In Hinblick auf eine digitale und globale Arbeitswelt von Morgen ein echtes USP. #### Cons Mir würde eine Individualisierung der Projektmanagement Features gut gefallen. Hier sehe ich noch Ausbaubedarf. Am liebsten ein "customize GUI" ähnlich wie bei Salesforce. Ein Hauch Slack, ein Hauch Asana und die Kiste Rockt 1001 % #### Reasons for choosing Lano Einziges Tool am Markt. --- ### Wer viel mit Freelancer arbeitet muss sich Lano anschauen! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Oliver F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
