The main thing I like is that everyone I work with on a given activity is connected and can share and access relevant information and files from everyone involved. Redbooth can integrate with many different cloud storage services and other software to make processing data and files more seamless. The way Redbooth looks quite nice and doesn't have an intimidating or boring business feel to it like I've seen in other similar software.
Though there are many templates to choose from, it can be overwhelming and confusing to start off projects. I don't always know quite where to start and get things rolling in the most efficient way. There will often be much tinkering and trial and error involved before we have a decent setup in place.
By using Redbooth, I feel like I don't need to worry as much about emailing and setting up meetings since most of our information and resources are instantly available through the Redbooth platform online. I can stay on track with assignments and due dates. I know what tasks have priority and can devote my efforts to the right causes so things get done in a more orderly way.
We were drawn to Redbooth because it felt very robust and feature-rich, while still being very easy to use. It had many of the features I was looking for such as task dependencies, a gantt chart, card style workspaces, subtasks, good notifications, and easy uploading. In our research, a lot of others project management tools had these, but they didn't feel as engaging to use as Redbooth.
Now that we've added more complexity to our workspaces and have scaled our projects, I'm finding that I rely on the calendar view more often. The calendar feels like this least developed aspect, as it doesn't have great filtering or drag and drop capability when we want to move tasks a few days over. Color coding labels would be nice as well.
Our communication, organization, and productivity have skyrocketed since using Redbooth. We're getting more done and doing it more efficiently.
It's a very simple, but organizational powerful tool.
Scrolling to the left to view when in task list view.
The tracking of event crews, hotels and hotel agreements, catering, and other event/television production coordination aspects.
I love that i can add and share tasks with other staff
i think it is all great and enjoy using it
it is a great way to communicate with staff without having to send emails
It's easy to organize tasks based on their content and ensure everyone involved is accountable
If something doesn't go under a specific workspace and is more general, it's a little more difficult to incorporate. It also seems to prefer tasks with hard deadlines, while a lot of what I was working on didn't have a specific "due date"
Keeping track of tasks, assigning responsible parties to workspaces they're involved in, ensuring deadlines are met
The ability to easily assign tasks to one another and track the activity, even see the history thereof.
Not the best UI, app is not super user friendly overall.
It allows us to track tracks and serve as a task manager tool while also handing off tasks when others will be out of the office. As a manager, it gives me the "higher level" view of where all my team stands on completing their tasks.
I like that it allows my coworkers and me to work on projects together. It allows us to track progress and add notes as we go. Since our team lives all across the country and Redbooth makes it so much easier to collaborate with each other. It is also great that HD video meetings are integrated with Redbooth. You can schedule meetings right away or schedule them to repeat. This makes a great way to set up a virtual office.
One of the few downsides is that the desktop version has some issues with the filter option when in the workspace view. Also when viewing tasks sorted in certain ways prevents you from organizing it the way you want.
Conference planning is a large part of what we use Redbooth for. It is also a good way to have a client follow-up database. We use it to track calls and emails with new clients.
The best feature of Redbooth is to be able to see the MONTH view and easily see all of your project due dates / milestones.
The pricing. Seems like all the vendors in this category called each other and said "let's set the price" at 5 or 6 bucks per user per month.
This help us collarborate and schedule our bidding process.
I love the most about this product is the ease of using the functionality. Task management tools are good and easy to use as well as the meeting, video chat and screen share.
It's difficult to onboard team members because of the limitation of email. Sharepoint is complex and expensive.
I was using this software for project management. The task management software and video chat were very useful.
Redbooth is great for having a workflow for tasks to complete. I like how you can have many different work spaces.
I wish you could automatically send emails to the taks associated under the project. Right now I am manually just doing it.
Like mentioned before, delegating and having a clear workflow of tasks
Redbooth offers good options for large teams to be able to coordinate. I personally think that the individual task management is very straightforward, with the ability to assign, remind and tag individuals being very flexible. I prefer having it this way than digging through emails. We have a professional project manager on staff who manages our system very well and keeps it neat.
My two major gripes are how poorly RB handles Word documents, and the lack of a calendar view. We are often sending word documents back and forth, and RB's "preview" functions are very lacking. I always have to download the file and open it, even if I just need to skim over it quickly. I also really would like to be able to have a calendar view of specific task areas. We keep a list of upcoming dates in a section, and viewing that on a calendar would be incredibly valuable to my team.
We are solving the task of keeping track of a diverse number of digital and web deliverables across a remote team. Having everything in a central location is incredible helpful, and for the most part it has lightened the load on our email inboxes. We are also able to log all of our completed tasks and projects in RB, which is good for looking back and analyzing.
The tracking of tasks and their status reports.
I have not found any dislikes as of yet.
Task assignment, prioritization, record keeping.
Redbooth simply works the way you expect it to. I have brought 2 coworkers on board and found it easy for them to get up to speed quickly. It handles tasks sorted into boards, which are themselves part of workspaces. Most things you'd expect to do with tasks (assign them, set a due date, add notes, etc.) it handles easily, and they obviously spent a lot of time refining the UI/UX as things simply work well. The pinnacle of its user-friendliness is the split page you see when you log in -- on the left you have a Notifications Pane, and on the right you have upcoming tasks due. We've found this to be a great way to stay on top of what the others are doing.
There are a few bugs and annoyances here and there (i.e. repeating tasks do not like to be deleted) but most of them can be worked around. The shared opinion in our office is that the notification settings are either too high (flooded email inbox) or too low (almost none).
Redbooth helps us keep our team focused on shared projects, even when we aren't all working from the same location or on the same schedule. When we have meetings, we have one person designated as the recorder who adds all the to-do items that arise directly into Redbooth. When we can't meet, creating and assigning tasks keeps us moving forward.
I like the task manager. Being able to assign to-dos to my team and see them across the project. Integration with Google Analytics is nice.
Reminder defaults aren't set up to catch past due items. UI is a bit clunky for new users.
Project management. It's been helpful to see all the tasks in one place and assign recurring to-dos that need attention each week.
I like the ability to create to do lists and tasks for a team. I like the way updates are streamlined, as well.
The program isn't the clearest or most user friendly layout. I find it difficult to know the difference between noting that an assignment has been completed or deleting a task.
Organization and management are key to developing our business model, and we have used Redbooth to begin that development with key tasks assigned to different partners.
Collaboration was simple and easy to use.
File sharing was a little cumbersome and not easy to track changes
Collaboration tools to help with communication
Redbooth is a modern project and task management software that gives you an excellent task collaboration space to work in a team. With this you can achieve a better workflow since we manage our time in a more efficient way, you can also assign tasks with due dates and also tag them which makes everything easier, the application for IOS is excellent and very intuitive it always alerts me about the progress of the projects and I can visualize them in a modern calendar and provides continuous updates for the projects.
Redhooth has some things to improve for example it requires an increase in memory as I am short when it comes to saving large amounts of documentation, I consider that the platform integrates many tools and the use of it can be complicated if the user is not familiar with the program that means that the learning curve is quite high as project management software does not have a tool that allows tracking costs until its completion this in my opinion is a notable weakness finally does not have many options for customization.
We use Redhooth as a management tool to plan and manage our tasks because it is software that has great ease of execution of that work also adding that it has a capacity for automation with the various emails thus giving a capacity to react when organizing the various task management and resource management in a very effective.
the way to manage tasks is very comfortable, the way to separate work teams allows you to divide efforts and get more out of your work teams, the most interesting thing about this platform is that it is in responsive mode which also allows you to Manage from your mobile phone or tablet, you can upload different types of files to the history of the task.
I really do not find anything that I do not like about this software. The interface is very nice and eye-catching. You can chat with your work team. I do not find weaknesses in the fulfillment of all its functions for which it is designed.
manage work teams, this allows you to assign tasks in the most efficient way possible, so you can monitor what tasks are the members of your team and what is its scope so you can get more out of the people that make up your team work, see dates of deliverables, progress of a task, the problems raised during them.
Great way to organize tasks! It allows each of our team members to organize tasks the way it works best for each one. Big and small tasks get solved effectively.
Redbooth has so much to offer that makes it a bit complicated to keep up.
Small tasks used to slip. We were so busy solving other important and time demanding tasks that we would forget those little ones that always make a big difference. We now have them all organized and it is easier to follow up.
The ease of use and communication chat feature
I don't like the fact that in order to see the description you have to click and open the task.
