Brightpod Reviews

In Brightpod, a project is a "pod". Brightpod has all the basic features you would normally associate with a project management tool. You can set milestones, manage tasks and track activities. You can assign members to tasks or activities, and easily see upcoming and overdue tasks. There is a unified calendar that enables you and your team to plan activities across all your pods. One nice time saver is workflows, which are pre-built task lists that provide structure for common project types. There are several workflows that come standard with Brightpod. If you have a common workflow for your projects, you can create and save your own, custom workflows to simplify future project setup. There are tools in Brightpod to help you manage your and your teams time more effectively. There is a "Me page" that serves as a starting point for your daily activities and helps you to set up a daily priority list. Pricing is a flat fee which includes unlimited users. The various levels of pricing are based on the number of projects and amount of storage space you need.
