Used greatly in our entire marketing department to handle creative projects. Robohead allowed our creative team to function very much as a full-fledged marketing agency.

Pros

Ease of use, great communicating tools internally and easily scaleable.

Cons

Took quite some time to iron out the bugs and make the software work for our purposes.

The most confusing project management software

Robohead makes me want to chuck my computer out of the window.

Pros

Almost nothing except for the review functionality.

Cons

Nothing is user friendly, shifting tasks makes no sense and my team and I constantly have to go in and manually adjust things. Glitchy and finicky. We have had three meetings in two months to go over how to use this software and every time something goes wrong during the demo. THREE meetings with all the same people because literally everyone has something go wrong when they submit a project.

Pros

I like the main view the my work page. It's easy to tell the status of a project

Cons

I seem to not get notifications, also it will glitch out sometimes. I wish there was a better calendar view that told me just when things are due and what the project is and not the task.

Love, love love. As an internal creative services agency within a large nonprofit organization with many type "A" personalities, this tool has been invaluable in keeping the crazy organized.

Pros

Cons

No app, mobile website is a challenge (for me). There are a few tweaks and features I've asked for - some have been implemented, some have not.

If you've got a guide sheet when you first begin using it, or a few training sessions, it's easy to get accustomed to it. Once you know your way around, it really is a valuable tool for your workplace.

Pros

It's so integrated with the teams working on the project. Everyone knows the status of the project, who's working on what, what tasks are completed, and if the project is on its timeline for completion. Love that it keeps me organized with task reminders.

Cons

It's dependent on the people who use it. If one person habitually doesn't update their tasks or ignores the reminders...it can delay the project's progress.

Pros

I like that it's structured and there's lots of ways to connect communication points within a team and an external project requester.

Cons

The lack of customization, the rigidity of the templates, the flow of building projects and communications. It seems unnecessarily messy and not an easy on the eyes interface.

Multi-functional project management system

Reviewed on 2022/12/07

Pros

What I like most about this software is how it can be customized to any area of the company. It is a growing project management system that can be changed in a fly.

Cons

The only thing we don't love is the fact about the extra steps in assigning a project and not able to customize the reviews.

A Generally Positive Experience using RoboHead

It's been a positive experience overall!

Pros

It's very easy to add and edit tasks. We are able to switch roles and responsibilities on projects easily between designated users.

Cons

It's important because we do pre-production work on many projects at the same time. It would be nice to have a better unified way of viewing "My Work" where projects were grouped together in a clear way. as it stands it's just a huge task list and it's hard to tell which task belongs to which project, even if you sort by "job" number. It would be nice if this information was presented in a clearer way.

Pros

Easy to set up and learn; keeps us on track; love the ability to make edits and share with the entire team

Cons

If team members do not pay attention, they can easily turn to using email again for approval. We also need guidance/training on duplicating past events each year; we seemed to have duplicated the dates as well (deadlines) and then requires us to take time to change them.

Customizable Project Management System

Reviewed on 2022/01/12

Pros

Robohead is a very customizable system that can be adjusted to meet the needs of the team. We use the system to oversee all of the projects funneling through our internal creative agency, and it's simple for each account/project manager to customize the views to see only the items relevant to their daily work, but we can see the bigger picture of what our team is working on too.

The customer service is excellent - I always receive timely assistance when I chat with the support team, and most of the time they can resolve the issue on the spot. In the event that they cannot quickly resolve the issue, I receive detailed follow-up when they do resolve it.

Robohead also listens to their customers through the enhancement suggestions. The release webinars are valuable to learn about the updates and new features that are added.

Cons

There are a few pieces of browser functionality that don't work with RH. Currently there's not a way to duplicate a tab in the browser and get to the same place in RH (this would be useful when cross-referencing job details and reviews, for example) and the "back" button doesn't work either. Neither are deal-breakers, just would be nice to have.

It would be nice for account/project managers to be able to organize the "My Work" view for project team members (when multiple tasks for different projects are due on the same day, sometimes there is a certain order that things should be worked on, and that has to be manually communicated instead of something we can organize in the system).

Excellent customer service, immediate and accurate. Prompt announcements of enhancements and issues being experienced (transparency). Easy-to-use functionality, messaging, record keeping.

Pros

Ease of setting up templates, training staff, running reports, sharing files.

Cons

This is more suited to an agency with hour an resource tracking. We don't use a lot of the features because we are an in-house marketing department and don't do billable hours. We have asked for there to be functionality to have folders within tabs (for example files) so when you are uploading supporting documents they live in a folder not as individual items within the tab.

Our company has been using Robohead since 2013. I've seen a lot of changes over those years in the software and I think right now in 2022 it's the best it's ever been. And only getting better! I have found Robohead very beneficial in my day to day, and it has helped streamline our creative review process.

Pros

I love the ease of use of Robohead. As an admin I have to add new people to our user list, but don't have time to train each and every one of them. Thankfully Robohead is very intuitive and easy to learn on your own. And if you do run into issues the online support is second to none! The reviewing aspect of Robohead is fantastic. The mark up tools provided make it easy for anyone reviewing creative to leave precise edits very quickly and easily.

Cons

The only thing I like least about the software, is that not enough people on our team use it to it's fullest potential. Including myself!
