While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Mostly a decent tool; developer experience isn't as good as things like ClickUp, but business side of things is better. Weird 'features' like totals of "time to complete" get reduced the further... See more

It is CHEAP for a reason

It is CHEAP for a reason!

Great pitch and claims made us think that this could be a replacement/upgrade to the incumbent piece of software to run our agency.

The price point was a concern (seemed too cheap), the level of price questioned the viability of the claims.

We trialled two seats for two members of the team to assess the platform. It was clear that it was not what it seemed.

Support claimed that they had no records of our requests to cancel (yet we had email screen shots...) Does this brings into question the data protection levels?

We are talking small amounts here, but the effort was consuming.

The best agency tool

Productive is the best tool we've ever seen for working in an agency - it does it all. We would like to see some more development on the pre-sales components (e.g. tracking time against a deal for true profit calculations) but in fairness, these are listed on the roadmap. In the meantime, there are regular feature releases and the support is top-notch -- instant replies and knowledgeable to boot. Implementing Productive has been one of the biggest transformations in our agency.

Great success team, not targeted features, longer custom dev cycles

Productive success team is great, always available for any of our questions and opened points, they are quite quick with replies and out effort to understand our needs. Delivery is sometimes late in case dev team is involved (for custom features like invoice pdfs).

Regarding application there seems to be new features like documents which we do not find helpful, but the ones that would be helpful and seems to be simple enough like bar-code on the invoice are not yet implemented.

Useless piece of software

Useless piece of software. They promise a lot, but it turns out that the software actually cannot solve the reporting needs that they promise.

We are a 22 man agency, and have been working with a simple consultancy based model where we sell our time at a rate to a number of different clients. This is a calculation of 5 cells in a spreadsheet, but cannot be made in Productive. Their consultants cannot either explain their own take on running an agency business. Now after 5 hours of crisis meetings with their development team, they have come to acknowledge that their logic is off. Updates will follow.
