I found everything on UpWave; then let me say something about customer service: they are so kind and ready to solve every trouble we met. > > **Cons**: Seriously,NOTHING\! Every time I had a problem I wrote to customer service and they solved it quickly > > We write very few emails (less to print is better also for environment), we use it as a sort of chat so every communication is very quick. We have a general control of the production at at glance even when outside or no at the office. ----- ### "Upwave Review" — 4.0/5 > **Bryanna** | *10 April 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really enjoy being able to collaborate on projects with my team. > > **Cons**: Nothing that I don't really like about Upwave, maybe a little easier layout. > > My experience with Upwave has been overall really well. Being able to track our tasks and being able to visualize our projects. ----- ### "Inferior alternative to Trello" — 2.0/5 > **Joseph** | *19 May 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to silo information to specific items > > **Cons**: The User Experience when navigating a board or adding details > > My employer switched from Trello to Upwave when Trello decided to restrict the product's use of collaboration to an unsustainable pricing plan. This was a sad transition, as Trello was (and probably still is) a joy to use, but strongly impacted the main benefit of using it. The difference between Trello and Upwave was pretty evident immediately when I couldn't click-and-drag around the board as effortlessly. The keyboard shortcut of holding the space bar is not obvious, and it really should "just work". Then, there's the board rows. At first, the idea of a multi-axis board sounded great, but when I used it on a project, it quickly became a hard-to-navigate board full of empty space. This was especially evident when trying to conduct an Agile board with Upwave, something I quickly abandoned when it came time to set up a new sprint. There's a few smaller sources of frustration. Within cards, I also found the lack of tooling for rich text frustrating, and led me to the massively-complicated but extremely-capable Notion. I find the action of marking a card as "Complete" annoying, as there's usually a column for completed items, and this seems like a duplicated effort. In conclusion, I would absolutely only recommend Upwave as an alternative to Trello when the pricing hits hard. Otherwise, I wouldn't. ----- ### "Upwave - a perfect app to organize the work of student teams and complete common tasks effectively" — 5.0/5 > **Anastasia** | *29 August 2020* | Newspapers | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Successful team management and work progress is based on comprehensive visualization, which Upwave enables you to manage easily and effectively. Smart design, a wide range of photos for your boards, stylish colours and tinctures help to create a unique workspace, which is esthetically enjoyable. The system is easy to deal with and the mechanism of changing cards or other details is simple. Especially convenient is the connection to other services, such as Google Drive, Google Docs, etc. It is really greater to have everything in one app, vivid and organized online, than to buy millions of notebooks or write long messages in chats with tasks for your team members. The idea with ticks and columns to show the progress makes users feel satisfied with the results and observe the completion level of the work. Notifications are also included in the system and can be send via e-mail to remind team members of their deadlines. > > **Cons**: As the head of my small student team, which is occupied with publishing a faculty newspaper, I can say, that this app has no cons. All functions and features I need to organize our joint timetable are available. May be, in the future it would be useful to add more languages, especially Russian. I speak English, but not so good at computer terms, while their understanding is necessary to install everything correctly. That's why the process of deployment took a little bit more time. Although it is anyway not a problem, as Upwave managers are always ready to help and answer all the questions. > > I am absolutely satisfied with Upwave\! I have never used such a programme previously and was amazed by having my personal and work plans so accurately shown in cards and marked with colours. It is much better, than writing your plans in countless diaries or notebooks, making notes, which are usually lost among many pages or forgotten. Upwave provides me with opportunity to visualize and systemize our team tasks, and now it is for everyone obvious, what one has to do. When you put a tick for something done, it gives moral satisfaction and motivation to move on. Upwave is my first experience of using such an app, however I am already delighted with it and grateful to the whole staff of the company for a high quality product, friendly attitude towards students with their university projects and overall support and helpfulness. I will use Upwave willingly in my professional activity and would be glad to recommend it to my friends and colleagues. ----- ### "I finally found THE platform to organize meaningful elements of my life & projects by simple cards\!" — 5.0/5 > **Calvin** | *9 September 2020* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Especially the singular combination of the following features makes Upwave that strong in my eyes: + full color cards, not just tiny tags as usual + modern \& pleasing typeface with grippy weight contrasts + (custom) templates of card organization - not just the basic kanban style everyone else has + direct edits in preview without the need to open the card's content separately + clean UI \& recognizable category line at the top + intuitive interactions as you would expect it to work > > **Cons**: I would love to have the possibility to organize cards in grouped stacks, free from any grid like template. Theme decks of elements basically - but right now I'm really happy about the rich variants of different, even customizable overviews that I can create - suiting even creative project methods that I can directly create instead of having to make a mess with post its\! Hopefully the time dimension gets it's well deserved implementation soon, as they already anounced in their roadmap\! Cards that are as modular as being able to represent time spans, smoothly visible in calendar view to stay ahead of project workloads \& spot free timeslots would feel like the ultimate extention for my next teamwork phase, their time tracking feature let me dream well already\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/55690/upwave?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/55690/upwave) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
