Nifty Reviews & Product Details

Nifty is a reasonably priced PM tool that includes features to collaborate with our customers. We use it heavily in Enterprise deployments to keep the project on track and interactively work on deliverables and deadlines. It is especially beneficial when we work across timezones.

Nifty is definitely a smaller company so there are some pains in their UI. They are still figuring out how to pack so many features into a tightly packed dashboard and some common shortcuts, etc. do not exist. There is a lot of power in there but it is not polished in how to use it.

We use Nifty to have a common ground to interact with our customers for deployment plans, outstanding items, user acceptance testing, and ticket submission. This saves us time as well as pain on mismanaged expectations. It keeps us on track in implementations.

Nifty is a great tool to manage client accounts, workflows and communications.

It's a little convoluted to use, however this may be due to my lack of experience with Nifty.

Central communication platform.

This tool is web based and can be accessed from anywhere you have internet access. You can add multiple portfolios. Tasks are easily created and can be managed individually on a multitude of levels.

The one thing I dislike is the fact that you are not able to come back and add "Tracked Time" for a previous day in those cases where you have forgotten to add time to a task/project.

Nifty allows us to have a central location where projects are managed and maintained.

I love all the features that are built into Nifty. It really allows you to make your workflow however you choose. Because there are so many options hopping into nifty for the first time can feel a little overwhelming and you can sometimes overcomplicate your workflow but once you dial in what you need and don't need to use it makes the process very easy. It gives me many more options I didn't have before in asana.

One thing I wish this had was a dashboard for analytics. I would like to be able to see the hours tracked and filter it by person, project, and milestone. This would really give me an easy way to bill clients and see how our employees are handling their workloads by project. I also would appreciate a little more fleshed out windows app that doesn't feel exactly like a browser but that's not that big of a deal.

Keeping track of all tasks that need to get done and putting them into milestones has really kept everything on pace and kept the team on track. Being able to set dependency tasks really helps with the flow of what tasks to do first.

Available options within tasks just make sense. Nothing was overlooked

User interface could be a bit better. Not sure I like "Portfolio" as the top level name for projects. But that is minor.

Good way to keep the team together. Easy to lay out and build processes. Google Docs integration is extremely AWESOME

Milestones - a great way to organise tasks

Integration with Google Drive is confusing

Managing projects for clients

Clean kaban interface without too many disturbances Great ability to connect milestones directly together with either lists (swimlanes) or individual tasks to create a progress. Easy to set up new boards/projects and have cross references between those and users In overall Nifty got everything that a team need to be productive with a project management kanban tool. The software update interval is quick and new features and improvements to existing are released frequently. The support is good and fast and issues have been addressed quickly.

Tag management is really missing. Unused tags can at this moment not be removed. Lack of batch/bulk actions (archive/complete/move/transfer/tag multiple cards) Missing multiple-column lists/lanes

Project management is getting a lot easier with Nifty. The kanban tool itself is not a new invention but the surrounding features in Nifty really get the process a lot easier managing multiple teams in multiple areas but still connected and with different milestones

I like that it has all the major features you'd expect from a task/project management platform. But what I like most is that It includes all the features and you just pay for users. Other tools limit features or tools to different levels or prices. `

My only dislike is the UI. It's a bit basic. But I can get past that. I havent used it long enough to make a long list.

We are using to list and track a long list of work items within our organization. Too many things were getting lost in the day-to-day and we needed to dashboard for a pseudo-scrum.

This is very customizable and very user friendly. Tons of features that make it extremely robust.

No 2-way Google Calendar sync (as of writing)

I was looking for a little bit more than just a glorified checklist and Nifty did the trick. I'm able to manage multiple projects, checklists and activities. Even integrating my personal tasks as well.

I love that I can use Nifty to suit my needs. I gradually started using it more and more and it is now helping not only run my business but my life. I am not the most naturally organized person and Nifty is very intuitive and easy to pick up. Also there are some great tutorials online and the customer service is responsive.

I wish there were a few more integrations to help connect with some other apps I use.

As I am not very organized it has solved the problem of what should I be working on right now?" Its all laid out and when I have a new client I just template the process.

Kanban board makes to-do/doing/done easy like Trello and other "card task" apps.

The standard functionality of file uploads includes Google Drive, but using that attaches them as a file rather than linking the original Google Doc. Not cool. UX generally still needs work. It doesn't "flow" for me. They have been making regular updates though and I've seen improvement in just my first 90 days. I'm coming from experience with MS Project, so there are some unintuitive links between milestones with tasks/Gantt chart and the Kanban board... To get the full features, you kind of have to pick one path: traditional Kanban, or Gantt with milestones.

Shared team objectives tracking.

Nice, clean interface with everything I need to manage my projects and teams.

The milestone feature takes a while to get used to, and recurring tasks are not dynamic, in terms of dates automatically changing.

Easy to see all my projects and tasks at a quick glance and find out time committed to those projects.

Nifty is a tool is use very often in my business and I do like the fact that it is extremely flexible and it will work on every scenario, even using it for personal use. I have my children use it for school to help they stay focused. One of the thing I really enjoy also is the fact that it is very easy to use. I've used other similar products but they were not as user friendly as nifty. Nifty works great, give you awesome notification and reminds you of your tasks. The support is terrific, they get back to you really quickly. When I have an issue or if I'm stuck or just trying to do something, I always contact support and each and every time, they've always help me. For me, you can have a great product but if you don't have great support to back it out, customers/clients will not be happy because when they need assistance, they can't get the help they need. I am happy over all with this Nifty and I will continue to use it because it just works for me

Honestly, there are not much I dislike about Nifty. I use it quite often; Almost every day. I do quite a bit, run multiple businesses and it helps me to stay focused. The app isn't as robust (in my opinion) as the web version so I find myself using the web version much more often than the app but the app still works great and I do recommend it.

Nifty solves so many problems for me. I run multiple businesses so I have a super busy schedule and I have two teenage boys that are active and I want to be there for them during their sporting events. It helps me manage not only my schedule but my tasks. I really enjoy how you can have sub-tasks. I think the developers of Nifty have really thought things through and have taken feedback from people like me to make it so much better and they are continually in development. I really like that.

The Nifty user-interface is very easy to use and not as confusing as other tools we've used. It allows for quick views on projects, workloads and notifications. The option to allow guest accounts is very cool.

It would be great if there was configurations that allow for standard due dates or recurring reminders. This becomes helpful when sometimes you are you forget to add these when adding tasks. Furthermore, adding recurring reminders (until completed or updated) would help my team keep track of what has to be completed even after you viewed the notification with can remove that little notification number. I would also love the workload view on the mobile app. I am always on the go and using the app is very helpful but I cannot view my staffs workload by person.

Centralizing our communications has been improved but not 100% solved. We quickly saw that using the discussions feature wasn't guaranteed for everyone to seeing it. So, with quick chats, we continue to use Skype. But we love having the integration of google docs, internal docs, tasks, scheduling and more. We've transitioned using many tools to Nifty and a couple of others.

Whole app experience and their support. We moved from Trello to Nifty and we don't miss Trello anymore. I really like the milestone and Workloads view, gives me birds eye view of what's going on and what need to fix. Nifty pushing new features/fix every week and that is what we really like. A solid team of passionate people. It replaces many app for us so now we can focus on one app instead of many.

Chat notification sometimes gives trouble, discussion module need improvements. Calendar module need improvements with two way sync with cal app.

Managing projects, team communication and sharing files all in one place. We don't have to use many app now.

You can create GDocs inside the app. Beginner-friendly interface and Simple UI. Also, I like my apps in dark mode which is readily available on Nifty.

Minimal integrations. It will be Zapier/Integromat-reliant when not addressed.

I'm trying to find the app that makes my project management easier and my workflow smoother.

I truly enjoy everything about this program. It helps me with my business to stay organized. I am better able to organize my projects with a smooth transition. Helps me with multiple tools.

There really is nothing I don’t like about this program. This is one of the best programs I have used in a long time

It is helping me with time and I am able to work on multiple projects at once. The tools really help to keep me organized and on task.

it was easy to use and helped manage the task as all the members were under one project

It didnt not provide us with voice notes, it would be great if they start adding voice notes in it as it will become easier to convey the task easily to all group members altogether

All people under one project can be put together and makes the task status know every easily

It's free! really like the way the time lines look, very easy to set up and track. Was so easy to set up when I moved over from trello

Many people have not heard of it and are still using other software which means its tricky getting some people to collab on my projects if they don't already use nifty...

I have been able to use this one program to keep track of all my different work flows rather than tracking all my objectives and outcomes in different spreadsheets etc.
