Great Flexibility and for various purposes - High Level Overview - Tracking Progress
What do you like best about the product?
I see Dapulse like an advanced excel with an embedded communication feature. The fact that it is very customizable gives endless possibilities for what and how you want to track various initiatives. With the 7 different type of columns, you can create various tables with different purposes, from a very high level to a detailed one. I believe the challenge is to understand what needs to be tracked, at what level of detail and build the structure accordingly. We often schedule meetings with the purpose building the structure with the main stakeholders like project managers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, integration was lacking yet they are constantly rolling out important ones like Excel, Zapier and others. The one significant feature I am not fond is the user experience with their "timeline" feature. It not as flexible and doesn't give an easy overview of the rest of the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped us manage various projects/initiatives at a high level. With the flexibility of the 7 types of columns, you can track by stages, multiple resources, etc... Not recommended for any sort of detailed stats or analytics (ex: managing detailed budgets, resource allocation, etc...)

Project management for multiple location team
What do you like best about the product?
It's the most effective way our team has been able to keep track of one another's tasks pertaining to the next step in our processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much I don't like about this product. I use it on a very elementary level as the part of project management that I am responsible for does not live on this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication and our email inboxes were filling up to the point that we were missing key parts of our projects. This has streamlined these processes and we are able to keep track of who is doing what at any given point in the project at hand.
Great at keeping track of projects!

· There are multiple due dates
· UX design is great
· Can emphasize priority and status of a project
· Can assign projects to one or more person(s)
· Organization is key for me, and Dapulse has great tools in keeping projects organized

What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have the following, yet:
· Deadline Notifications, not using google alerts
· A way to integrate when team members have scheduled time off and what projects it will impact
· Needs more colors
· Adding lists to projects
· We have monthly campaigns, so we do groups based on the month. A month can have up to 5 campaigns. We usually get small quick requests for certain campaigns, it would be nice if there was a feature to add a list below the title of the campaign- something that would be visible instead of clicking on the project to reveal the right side bar with the updates.

If you're looking for a program that is visually appealing and a way to keep all your projects organized by color coding, this is the program for you. They have a 1 week free trial, give it shot!

Easy and up to date tracking of important information
Glorified Spreadsheet
What do you like best about the product?
It allows me as a project manager to keep track of projects and their status. I believe it's a relatively new program so I am anticipating features to be added as time goes on but for now, it functions as I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some specific functions I wished it had, e.g., as a deadline date approaches, the date turns yellow and if it passes it turns red. We have so many deadlines it would be nice to see what is coming up. Also, there isn't any real easy way to batch import all deadlines to Outlook, you have to do it by each "pulse", which I find tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking jobs and being able to assign projects out, discuss any portion of a project with a group.
Easy Organization
What do you like best about the product?
The layout allows me to manage my own projects at-a-glance while collaborating with my team to ensure a smooth work process. I really love the customization of the tabs and the three board categories. I'm able to organize my content calendar, ongoing team projects and make a grocery list to share with my significant other all within this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the boards used a “tab” key function as in excel. I use one of my boards to transfer a TON of information into at once and having to press enter and then return to the mouse to click the next field is a micro-motions that just ends up costing me efficiency. I also had issues with importing data when we moved from Trello to DaPulse. The layouts offered just didn't work very well for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The visual style of the product is structured enough to encourage continuity between boards but flexible enough to let my team use it however it works best for them.
I am able to organize tasks by whatever metric I choose and quickly prioritize and keep my team updated on what I'm working on. I currently find this most helpful for scheduling social media content. I manage 56 facebook pages for my company.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for collaboration and tracking tasks with due dates.
Clunky Functional Taskboard
What do you like best about the product?
Dedicated project boards with detailed progress sections.
What do you dislike about the product?
DaPulse is TOO detailed. The ability to add columns to a board and add details that are minuscule to the completion of the project makes the program feel clunky and more difficult to use than necessary. The notifications for tasks assigned to my are not as user friendly as i personally would like and the mobile app is not quite user friendly either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inter-office task management and special projects that are not specific to our regular day to day operations are delegated and tracked easier than the previous use of basic email chains and phone call conversations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the customization of baords less detailed.
When a project is completed move the completed project off of an Active board and onto a completed board.
Cleaner user interface on mobile app.

Visually pleasing and great for storage
What do you like best about the product?
I love the dynamic look of dapulse, the ability for multiple team members to collaborate, and the "logs" we can keep on every step of our project management process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I can only make status OR text columns, but not both. The status columns only let you set one "status" display per color per column, which doesn't allow for customization for every row. I manage many due dates, so it would be amazing to be able to display them AND color-code them based on whether they have passed and we are on track. Sadly, that's not an option here. Also, there is a noticeable lag while collaborating with teammates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business has offices on both coasts and needs to not only keep track of project status, but also share and store documents. We have organized storage at our fingertips and updates at a glance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch the demo videos on their site. They're very true to the user experience.
DaPulse is like an odd experiment that gained traction so they went with it
What do you like best about the product?
The only thing I like is that they fixed a bunch of UI bugs that plagued it for a long time when I first started using it. The rest of things that one might say are positive about it, are simply standard with every other issue tracker.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the interface and how it's failed to evolve with the amount of content being shown. I dislike the side bar that is too thin to read people's updates/info boxes. I dislike the replied comments have nested responses worse than 90s email where it gets so thin that it's one word per line. I dlslike the slow animations and drag-dropping features. I dislike the lack of clarity about what things do, and the hidden menus that only appear when you hover over something but don't have a tool tip to say what they do, and the fact that they stay there until you click something else on the site. I dislike the way things have unexpected click events when you want to highlight and copy a line of text but it opens a menu instead where you still can't highlight the line with a triple click. I dislike that there's no button that goes directly to a page where you can see everything assigned to you (You have to type your name into the search bar every time you want to view this page)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We record our bugs, issues, feature todo lists. It does the job of recording them and letting us delegate and tick them off as we go.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've used Redmine and found it to be more sophisticated/professional than DaPulse. DaPulse is like the kids version of an issue tracking software with lots of color and unnecessary bling features like animation and drag and drop. I used Trello a little bit, and I guess this is like a Trello with the whole drag-dropping, but it just doesn't feel right for a large company with hundreds of issues. I cannot recommend a better issue tracking software because I haven't used enough to make a decision, but the next one we go with will be Jira so I look forward to learning it.
