I've started using Bright Pod since early September and it's been pretty cool. I like how the graphics and structure make it easy to identify things that have to be done this week and next week.

They have very helpful forums and walk you through every step. It is a nice way to track how multiple team members of my department are up do with out micromanaging.

Great for marketing teams, but lacks some integrations.

It's easy to use, provides good analytics and the customer service and openness to suggested improvements is fantastic.

This system is super easy to use, at this point I can add tasks with my eyes closed. I love the support we receive, always an answer almost instantly to any questions we have.

Of interest to consultants and freelancers, a great feature is the ability to track budgeted time, assign clients and attached team lead(s) to each pod.

As the owner of a small, but growing agency, Brightpod's price point and offerings are a great fit for my small business.

Everyone on the team picked up the software quickly and enjoyed the clean layout. It has made  organizing and collaborating much easier.

The scrolling on the pods can be a little annoying if it's a particularly full pod.

The best part is that it integrates with Google Drive and Dropbox making it quick and easy to transfer documents online.

But we also have the ability to drill down by client or project as necessary. Overall, a great platform.

The main problem I had with Brightpod was its UI.

Inability to move task lists into another pod so that all data, files, and comments go with it.

You have a full overview of everything that is going on and good tracking functionalities, great when you're dealing with different time zones and different clients.

I love that there is a collaboration tool like Brightpod that is so focused on marketing project details.

We initially started with small projects and have quickly branched out into cross-functional and staff projects and it is very easy to use and we love the Google and Outlook integration.

The main thing I don't like the fact that this software has no accompanying app.

If you hate project management systems, this is the one for you.

Easy to use, centralizes all of our projects, shows how much time is spent on each project, easy to track progress of projects.

Sahil is lovely and we have had awesome customer support. Very much looking forward to seeing how Brightpod grows and develops.

Solution complexity is good for managers and overview, graphs is good and transparent to users, notification is understandable.

The best aspect about this tool is that Inflectra is commited to making it better. Customer service is great.

Great integration story with variety of third party tools. Strong customization capabilities.

Great product for managing software testing at a great price.

We began using SpiraTeam about 6 months ago and and have been very happy with the tool. Overall, the tool is very easy to use and easy to learn.

It is great for agile approach to software development. It provides great integration from Requirement to Development to Testing to Completed.

We used the email notifications feature as well. We also synchronized with Jira but abandoned this.

I am very happy using this tool and pleased with the customer service quick responses. However, here are some of the improvements and enhancement suggestions.

Misunderstanding the designed use compared to their personal opinion.

I manage the testing team for an IS department and was unhappy with the existing tools we had, so I evaluated a number of tools to replace what we used.

Really happy with the collaborative capabilities in helping coordinate all activities and information across teams.

SpiraTeam, great potentials, good feature set and excellent support team.

Most excellent, brings our Business and testing together in understanding the req.

SpiraTeam was a great find in that it exceeded our needs and was very affordable offering great value. It's quickly become the focal point of our project implementation activities.

SpiraTeam provides a high level of functionality at an extremely affordable price point. I was extremely pleased with the responsiveness of Inflectra to every issue and suggestion I raised.

Overall good experience. Really helps to see that requirements are covered by test cases and gives the ability to manage test case (pass/fail) in one place without having to use spreadsheets.

We've been using the product for a couple of years and it has been great so far. Support has been very responsive and helpful whenever we needed them.

Some names of fields seem contrived and not everything is in the expected place. But these will be transient problems.

Test cases often get put in the wrong place and have to spend some time moving them around. My last annoyance is how test cases are copied and pasted.
