Pros/Cons
Pros
- I could see it being a useful tool for managing satellite volunteer groups. It was a good experience, and provided the means to have good conversation, generate some ideas, and post documents.
- Overall, enjoyed using the program during one of the implementations i was part of. All people in the project was happy with the overall use and ease of use.
- The cost and ease of use, it's very straightforward. Being able to track what everyone assigned to a certain task/project is doing, and ensuring deadlines/goals are being met are great.
Cons
- It is integrated with limited software which restricts to carry out multidimensional projects. It’s pricing is also very high, it restrict its use for small organizations.
- I just found it boring that you can only view one person's task list at a time, if you have a project with multiple members, it makes it difficult.
- I am a multi-disciplinary designer myself, and despite trying (very hard) several times to use Basecamp, I just can't get past how ugly, unintuitive, and clunky the UI is.
Pros
- The product is beautiful, responsive, easy to use and it has A TON of great features. Also the support team is super friendly and I have always gotten responses within a few minutes.
- 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.
- Ora is probably the best project management tool for software development that I could ever imagine. It is so powerful, has the best UX out of any PM software I've used and is light and fast.
Cons
- One of the few things I dislike about Ora is the Projects tab organization. I got frustrated trying to take out a couple of projects that were mysteriously put inside an "Archived" folder.
- The lack of recurring tasks is a sore point for our entire team, as well as a number of bugs which occur during a search.
- Moving the Projects from an Organization to another or even moving them inside the Organization itself is really frustrating. I wish it could be done by just dragging and dropping.
