Freedcamp

Avantages

Utilisateur de la version Pro, la gestion des tâches est grandement facilitée par le principe de cascade de tâches. À partir de la liste des tâches, il est possible de réaliser plusieurs niveaux de sous-tâches ce qui est génial. Chacune bénéficie d'un espace de commentaires bien pratique pour échanger.
L'interface est claire et concise.
Les notifications par courriel permettent aux équipes un rappel facilitant l'avancée du travail.
Le paramétrage par rôles et groupes facilite la gestion de chaque projet.
L'espace de discussion peut être détournée pour y insérer des informations à destination des responsables projets comme les listes de fichiers et d'outils du Workspace utilisés pour chacun des projets.

Inconvénients

Dommage que la version Pro n'intègre pas le diagramme de Gant et la liaison avec Google Drive.

Avantages

Having been comparing many project management tools that are affordable for a nonprofit startup, Freedcamp is the only one we could start with due to it's affordability and functionality. It is relatively easy to use, especially for a nonprofit variety of people with different levels of technical skill sets. I have also been reaching out to customer support regarding some functions and use, and I was very satisfied with the outcome, because of prompt and clear replies, which for us is crucial.

Inconvénients

The only thing that we are missing in the PRO version is not having the Gantt chart, which is available in the next level pricing, which unfortunately for our nonprofit is not affordable at this stage.

Avantages

One of the best things about Freedcamp is its intuitive task management system. It simplifies assigning tasks, setting deadlines, and tracking progress, all in one place. The calendar view is especially helpful for visualizing event timelines, ensuring that nothing is overlooked. Its collaborative features make it easy for teams to stay organized and work together efficiently, which is perfect for managing multiple projects like tech events.

Inconvénients

One thing I dislike about Freedcamp is the lack of a built-in feature to set time estimates on tasks. For project management, especially in tech or development-focused teams, being able to estimate the time required for tasks is essential for better planning and resource allocation. Without this feature, it becomes harder to track whether a project is on schedule or if tasks are taking longer than expected. While you can work around this by using labels or comments, a dedicated time estimate feature would make task tracking much more efficient.

3. Ability to use plugins like TimeTracker.

Inconvénients

Couple of years ago I used mobile version of Freedcamp, it had bugs and reduced functionality. Don't know what's up now with the application. I expect it to be improved as well as I noticed it for the Desktop/Browser version.

Avantages

We used Freedcamp for a few months and it really helped us align our team's projects and tasks. Intuitivne and easy to use, it did the job it was supposed to do.

Inconvénients

It's too basic. You cannot edit project phases - there are only 3 basic stages : to do, in progress, done. If your team is practicing scrum, you see the problem. I think it's a good tool to start with, but as your appetites and team's projects get more complex, it will become obsolete.

Avantages

Freedcamp's interface is user-friendly and offers a wide range of features that cater to project management needs. I particularly liked the ability to create task lists, collaborate with team members, and track progress in real time. The calendar integration and notifications are excellent for staying on top of deadlines. Additionally, the platform provides a lot of functionality even with its free plan, making it accessible for startups and nonprofits like mine.

Inconvénients

The mobile app could use some improvements in terms of responsiveness and navigation. Occasionally, there’s a slight lag when switching between projects, and some features feel more polished on the desktop version compared to mobile. Integrations with other tools are somewhat limited unless you’re on a higher-tier plan.

Avantages

It keeps us focused on the tasks across a range of projects we run simultaneously. We run Fortitude Boxing Gym, one of Australia's largest Boxing Gym that has projects across Queensland in Australia supporting remote gyms and First Nations Communities. We also run fundraising events for the Veterans Community. With more than 8 projects in a year and many fight nights, that's a lot of work to keep track of. Freedcamp keeps us focused, on time, and because of that on budget. One feature that stands out is the ability of different users to view a project in different views, I love a Gant chats, whereas my boss loves the Koban view, so we both use our own preferred view of the same project.

Inconvénients

Hard to think of much, it's hard to view a Gant chart on my mobile but that's really a limitation of my mobile size than Freedcamp.

What we love most about Freedcamp is its versatility and user-friendly interface. It offers a comprehensive set of tools for project management, all in one place, making it easy to collaborate with team members, manage tasks, and keep everything organized.

Inconvénients

While Freedcamp is overall an excellent tool, one area for improvement could be the mobile app. Although it offers a lot of functionality, it sometimes feels less intuitive and a bit clunky compared to the desktop version.

Avantages

Creating projects, tasks and time tracking is a breeze with Freedcamp. Organising projects is even better; searching, sorting and filtering features are well thought out. I particularly like the Kanban settings when viewing each project because it gives me a quick, overall view. The Tasks Board saves me time when planning and prioritising to work on several projects on any given day; if I need to see which projects are close to the deadline, then it is just a click away with Saved Searches. I can't imagine being as organised and productive without Freedcamp.

Inconvénients

I often have multiple task lists for a project. On the Tasks Board, this means the project name comes up several times, and I have to click on the project name to get to the task. But no matter which project name I click on, the tasks from the topmost task lists will always be displayed and I have to collapse the topmost task lists or scroll down to get to the tasks I want to work on.

Avantages

It's a very useful and easy-to-learn system, my team learned all the basics in probably 2 days, so the learning curve is short.

Inconvénients

The app needs a little more work to be as useful as the online system.

Avantages

"Freedcamp has been a game changer for us! The platform offers an impressive range of features that make managing projects, tasks, and collaboration a breeze. We were fortunate to receive an educational license, which has allowed us to fully leverage its capabilities. The seamless interface, combined with powerful tools, has helped us stay organized and boost productivity. We highly recommend Freedcamp to any team or business looking for an efficient project management solution!"

Inconvénients

"One improvement we’d love to see is the ability to add comments to individual tasks within a task list, making it even easier to communicate and track progress on specific items."

Avantages

I like the ease of use for generating projects and for monitoring projects. I tried different project apps, but Freedcamp stands out; it's fast, has sufficient options and is easy to adjust, both for the admin as for each individual user. The pricing is another factor; the paid options are definitely value for money.

Inconvénients

Missing options at this moment: - integrated email client- integrated email client- integrated email client- wechat integration- baidu cloud integrationLiterally the only thing really missingI dream of a world where Freedcamp has an integrated email client that allows the user to link emails and messages to a project, and that automatically saves attachments to the project folder.And since I work from China, where wechat is the defacto standard for all communication with providers and staff it would be great to be able to zap wechat directly to a project. Specific projects can have specific groups and have that information saved in freedcamp would be really awesome. Also all US based cloud systems are a hassle to use; they require VPN. Integration with Baidu cloud or Aliyun would be a definite advantage.

I'm a freelancer working with several different clients. I use Freedcamp with clients who aren't already using another project-management service, and the free version gives me everything I need. My clients don't take to it immediately; they prefer to rely on email for most communication and file-sharing, but for my own personal projects or for working with subcontractors, I like the file-sharing capabilities and the calendar integrations. Filling out an honest survey about why Freedcamp has been a useful solution is the very least that I can do to thank them for keeping a free option for the platform, so here I am!

Inconvénients

I wish that I didn't have to pay to get the ability to copy projects, but it was smart business for them to withhold that from the free service, because I've *almost* broken down and gotten it. But I'm a penny-pincher, so I'm holding out. I also still haven't quite figured out how to get global teams working quite right, but that's probably on me!

Freedcamp is so incredibly intuitive and user friendly, not to mention, each time I have ever had a hiccup or a desired result from the software that I couldn’t achieve on my own, I just emailed support and they were able to customize from the back end to make it do anything I needed.

I can’t say enough about the amount of time this tool saves me as chief of operations and I can’t imagine doing my job without it.

Inconvénients

The only feature I feel could be improved significantly is the “email in” feature. It’s quite cumbersome the first time you email into a project and if you are like me, you have so many projects going at one time that it is not convenient to have to log in, go to the project, select email in, copy the address and then alter it depending on if it’s a file, discussion, etc.

When you get down to it, it is pretty simple. I've had to spend more time than i prefer on setup. Wish there was a service for that piece.

Inconvénients

It has been a beast to implement and drive users to the tool. The lag in updates hurts us as times when new things are added, we have to wait a solid 2-3 min before they show up for the team. This lag is just enough time for "i don't see it on my freedcamp" emails.

I also wish there was a better way to limit view to team members. This is what is on your plate today, period.

Freedcamp has been indispensable to our company, both in our nascent and more developed business stages. It's interface is straightforward, and its robust feature set allowed us to utilize new tools as our business grew and demanded more. Key among those was a built-in time tracker that allowed us to better and more accurately quote projects. Its free features were sufficient for our needs in the beginning, but the price point for upgrading to Business/Enterprise level was also reasonable, especially compared to similar platforms. We were also able to start using it "out of the box" rather than some other platforms we tried out, where merely setting everything up was an investment of time and resources we, as a small business, just didn't have.

Inconvénients

The mobile app is not as robust as the browser-based application, but the company has been making improvements on that front.

For me the setup and getting used to it was a matter of seconds. I use other company supported systems that hold loads of info and are not easy accessible. with freedcamp I have a very clear view on the selected portion I want to manage. using it for yrs and keeps doing the job.

Inconvénients

Allthough my experience is very good, I don't get that many colleages liking this software. the learning curve seems to be to high and usage of the tool usually drops dead in a few weeks, despite my effort of promoting and supporting it. for small project teams that only last a few weeks I don't even bring it up anymore.. although that would be the perfect situation to deply freedcamp.

Avantages

I love this product. I add all my clients in here, create teams when I want others to have access to it, add all my times in for each project, and a little description. I can easily see what I have going on at any time, and how much time I have in any particular project. Easy user interface.

Inconvénients

Features Wish List: I would like to make "Time" come up as a default. It could be that I just don't know how to change default settings. I use it every time, so it would save me time.
Also, I don't know how to delete people from teams and such. I would like to do that. Perhaps if there was a responsive chat for when we have questions?
Lastly, I would like a way to export a particular client or job to show or prove my hours. Like maybe to word or a text file?

For a low, monthly billed price (I hate yearly billing), I get a bunch of flexible to implement features, which supplement the basics already provided. The basic free version is damn useful, but when you start a startup or hobby-turned-business, you need some more "power tools" to track and plan. Great value for cheap!

Inconvénients

Some of the UX design shows its age, and there are some clumsy decisions regarding grouping of tasks in projects. Managing and canceling reoccurring tasks can be a pain.

Avantages

It is easy to use and has all the necessary functions for us.

Inconvénients

Nothing. I have no cons. The program has always given the functions I expect.

Avantages

Easy to use interface plus all of the view options.

Inconvénients

Cannot think of anything negative that I have found.

Avantages

Very easy to navigate and use! I liked the collaboration and integration with other products

Inconvénients

Could be visually more appealing. Really, no major issues.

Avantages

Very powerful and you are able to manipulate your projects and customize them easily. It is very strong for team projects and can be used in a variety of different ways.

Inconvénients

I think the task entry and the milestone entry with associated task entry could be alot more seamless

Avantages

I chose this because other packages are WAY too bloated with features I didn't need but could not avoid and a some packages are simply too stripped down to be any more useful than pen and paper. Freedcamp has a ton of features but you can ignore the ones you're not interested in. User interface is the most approachable of any task software I've used.

Inconvénients

I wanted more ability to manually order tasks on a list. I need due dates but I also need to juggle stuff around by simply clicking and dragging. Freed camp is set up a bit too rigid. if I give something a due date, it wants to order by due date and then tasks without due dates get lost in the shuffle. While looking at the ordered list, I want to be able to click and drag something to the top to give it priority. But you can't without changing the order setting in the menu, which then changes EVERYTHING in the list, not just the one you care about. #2 - I'd love to be able to do some fast edits of a task (like text) right in the list view without having to fully open the task. #3 - The right column with easy drag and drop due dates, priorities, and progress is a GREAT feature. Would be even better if it included user generated "tags". You have a tags feature but not in that column. #4 - in the "projects" view pane, each individual project takes up too much space forcing me to scroll through them. Would love an option to simplify the view so it's a quick text list that is more likely to fit on one page. #5 - Calendar view is great. Would be helpful if on the "month" and "week" view I could see the entire task name by hovering the mouse over the task. Month view truncates the text string so small it's hard to know what it is from just a few words.

Avantages

This app manage to provide the sweet balance between my learning curve in using the app effectively until go up and running, and all the necessary functionalities, without putting my self too much in configuring all the features with it's bells and whistles.

The support alone is a solid and consistent 5 star performance, very prompt and spot-on showing a high level customer and solution oriented team.

Roadmap and development are heading towards my business needs which means this app is definitely a good long term investment for my team since Freedcamp has been around for quite some time now.

Inconvénients

The on-boarding is good but the learning curve a little bit steep the first time I test it. But recently they improved the UI and it surely enhances other users in my team to have much better UX, and support is always within reach anyway.
