Freedcamp Software

Pros

Freedcamp is providing free to use software with great functionalities. We can use it for creating projects and tasks and assign the task to each team member. Comments system is also there, we can update the tasks as pending, ongoing, completed etc and comments on the tasks assigned to us. Great software with ease to use.

Cons

I have not found any big negative thing in this software. I think there can be a sound notification option.

Freedcamp helps me stay organized so I feel like I'm on top of my workload, instead of drowning in it!

Pros

I've only been using Freedcamp for a few weeks, but I like it better than any other PM program I've used. Most are built for teams - and this one can certainly be used that way - but unlike the others, it works very, very well for a "solopreneur." I love that I can organize my work by client, but still get a holistic view of the work due for the days ahead.

I also like that it's so easy to use that adding tasks doesn't feel like a task unto itself. Freedcamp is fitting very nicely into my workflow. Another benefit: like Basecamp, it emails out a daily snapshot, in case you're like me and view your email on your phone before you get to your desk. It's nice to see what's ahead for the day before I sit down for the daily grind.

Honestly, this is so good, I can't believe it's free. And I've only scratched the surface of available features!

Cons

I wish there was a setting that said I was on my own so I didn't have to remember to assign things to myself.

Pros

A lot of options for you to manage and edit your project like gantt chart, kanvas chart, milestones and more, you do not have to worry about the space, because all the information is saved in the cloud and moreover you can work with how many people you want in a project without any limitation.

Cons

Unfortunately many people do not know about this software and wasted their time using desktop version of other software that are not as powerful as this, spending money without any reason.

Pros

It includes all the elements that you need to do a successful project a task list, kanban board, gantt chart, subtask and besides of this include a great feature called tasky, that make your task private and only available for some specific users, keeping your information secure from external users.

Cons

I do not have any complain about Freedcamp, I can say that this app has everything I need to work in a project in the best way and keeping my partners in touch about all the advances and failures in a project.

Free use of software which has everything needs to project management tasks and teams.

Pros

Freedcamp offers a huge amount of features and functionality within it's software including time tracking, password lockers along with the hugely effective and simply project management platform. Given alot of the main features are available on the free version it's an invaluable tool for any business, whether just starting out or a small team on a tight budget!

Cons

We had to stop using it as when enquiring about whether they were GDPR friendly they'd said at the time they were not going to be - might be a different story now.

Pros

Freedcamp is easy to get started with, setting up projects and managing tasks and milestones. When a couple of my team members encountered a minor issue, and I reported it, the support was excellent! Great and fast communication about the issue and resolution.

Cons

Managing users' access can be confusing, particularly if there are lots of users. There is no way to subscribe a team to a discussion.

Pros

What I like most is probably to be able to share project updates with customers so that they can see the progress of their project even though it isn't available online to them.

Cons

Sometimes it would be great if the titles in the project overview would show more characters. Design jobs for Company ABC - Ju... isn't really helpful to get quick to the correspondent date as Ju... could stand for June or July.

Pros

Most of the free tools for projects does not includes a features of administration, but with Freedcamp you do not have to worry about task, you can use this software to add accounting and administration information to your project, giving to you and your partners a big advantage.

Cons

It does not exist a desktop version and that is a shame, because this software is very useful and it will be great to have it directly in your computer.

Pros

I like that I can maintain project templates in Excel for different types of projects and then import them to set up new projects depending on the type. Also, this is super easy to use and almost no learning curve to get started.

Cons

You have to upgrade 2 levels to get project reporting. I also wish there was some type of change tracking available, especially if deadlines are modified.

Pros

Super easy to use. Just the right amount of applications. The free version is quite complete. Overall 10/10.

Cons

Can be pricey for a larger team, we are only 5 in our project management so it's easy to keep track of everything.

It allows me to come into work and immediately know what tasks I have to get on with.

Pros

It doesn't frontload all of its features keeping the general view looking nice and simple and streamlined, while still offering plenty of options should you want/need them.

Cons

I could see its UI getting a bit strained if you would be assigning lots of small tasks constantly but at the amount I use it at currently, this has yet to be an issue.

ability to organize long-term projects and tasks and create structure within company

Pros

Time tracker: the time tracker is really beneficial because many of services don't offer them and you have to use a separate app for it so it's nice to have everything in one.

Unlimited projects: Many services restrict you on what you can create and they don't

Task lists: Ability to categories tasks within projects really helps make it clearer and easier to use

Price: doesn't break your wallet but offer most if not all that you need

Cons

No offline version: we have tasks offline too and sometimes the internet is a distraction so it'd be nice to have an environment that syncs when one re-connects

It be nice if was easier to get support

I like that we have our project management, collaboration and calendaring tools in one place. Additionally, with their wiki tool, we can move our process documentation and eliminate the additional cost of the process management app we were paying for.

Pros

I like that it is structured like true project management software hierachy - projects, tasks and subtasks, yet you have the option of different views - task list, kanban and Gantt.

Cons

They have a free forever plan, but found it necessary to upgrade to a paid plan to get the features we wanted, despite having a very small number of users. Wish the plans were based more on users vs. features.

Pros

It is easy to use and intuitive. The file sharing is really valuable; you can set up your own project repository and use version control. The project lists and tasks are easy to setup and it's easy to upload or download project plans and they can be tied to a milestone.Select between list view and kanban view- which gives a quick overview of current status. Discussion page for team members is also very handy. Another great help is time tracking which can be tied to a specific task.

Cons

The only negative I have found is that you can only assign one team member to a task, or the whole team. The only way to get around that is to duplicate tasks. Also- it would be great with a function that duplicate tasks.

Pros

its nice to be able to keep track of everything and it is pretty easy to use, didn't even use the tutorials and I understand it

Cons

Notifications, you get it for everything, you can either turn them off or have them, I wish you could get notifications for certain things but not everything

Pros

From a huge set of tool for projects in the web, I finally found my favorite: FreedCamp. Because it has all the tools that I need to manage my projects: task lits, kanban board, sub task, tasky, gantt charts, calendar, disuccions forums, milestones, wiki, wall, issue tracker and time management, any other app offer all this enormous set of tool to manage a project, so I love Freedcamp

Cons

I have anything bad to say about this app, it is just wonderful it does not have any competitor for me is the best and work great.

The most complete free tool to manage and monitoring your projects.

Pros

It is very complete, because besides the normal tools of a free project tool like Gantt Chart and calendar, you can also manage milestones, discussions, a wiki tool, a wall and my favorite the issue tracker, that allows you to search and speficic task to modify or add information, I think that Freedcamp is one the best free option to work in projects.

Cons

You need people very engage to work with you in this kind of app, because it demands a lot of time and responsability, and if you do not work with the right people you have to know that the app will not do the work for you, because it is only a help.

ability to manage and work with multiple projects with ease.

Pros

Functionality, ability to cascade tasks. Layout easy to find multiple projects. Colour coding helps as well.

Cons

It would have been good if additional sub tasks (up to 3 or 4 layers) was supported. Please note I have only used the free version, so may be there is a limitation.

Pros

I've been using Freedcamp for a few simpler projects and it has everything you need:

- Gantt charts to get a bird's eye view of your project
- easy storage of passwords, access codes etc.
- define tasks and subtasks
- Create tasks either as a list or arrange them in a sticky like note fashion
- You can extend the app with addons you can get from a built-in App Store

Also it's great for collaborating with other members as it's very simple to invite external users to your projects to work together

Cons

The interface is a bit old school for my taste and the task options are quite basic out of the box.

Being able to create invoices is a nice feature, but it's a bit cumbersome and unfortunately too basic for European law. Day to day features like reverse charge invoices between members of the EU are not possible to do because there doesn't seem to be any way to add text fields to invoices to include e.g. the customer's VAT number.

What's also lacking is a thorough right's management. E.g. you work together with a freelancer who can set the price he is charging you, but cannot see which price you put into a custom field he doesn't have access to.

Apart from that I'm quite happy about the software actually.

Better overall project management and task tracking.

Pros

I liked the sharing ability and the being able to break a larger project down into smaller tasks. I liked being able to have many projects and to group the projects by the different companies I was working with. It was very easy to get started and helped me frame several smaller projects as complete jobs.

Cons

I would get more involved in setting up the projects than doing the actual work - that is probably me and not the software.
