Those of you that work in agencies or small teams who use project management software of some kind that involves you and your team using it, not just a project manager, what are you using and what do you like? What application has impressed you?
I've been checking out
https://monday.com/features/
https://freshdesk.com/Wondering what is well designed but stupid simple for managing projects, collaborating, etc. that isn't as complex as Jira and isn't as open-ended as Trello. We use Trello a lot but not for full-on project management.
Any suggestions?

I've used so many over the years.
A Google Spreadsheet is the only thing I will bother with anymore.

Trello is the one

Asana is pretty neat
Couple of my clients use it and as long as its moderated i found it really good. Its good how it acts as central point for assets and documentation from multiple sources.
asana.com/- As long as there is some one policing/moderating it. Like any PM software really, need a gatekeeper.thumb_screws

Honestly, I'd look into something open source you can fork and maintain yourself. My old company used a product called Producteev. It worked pretty great while I was there. Especially for collaborations.
Well, apparently, the parent company got bought out and told all the users they were shutting it down with two months notice. They could get their tasks out, but it was just a csv download. Those guys made heavy use out of that platform and were pretty well fucked by all of it.

We went through a few months of trialling a few different options. Settled on Streamtime in the end. Personally I thought it was pretty great. Easy and fast to use, some of the others get so bloated that you end up spending half you day using them. https://streamtime.net/
There's plenty of decent options these days. As long as you and your team commit to one and stick to it, you'll be fine.

I can tell you what I've test driven and decided against - either because they take too much time to manage or lack key features:
Teamwork
Asana
Coschedule
Wrike
Monday
StackfieldTrello is great for larger projects but doesn't give you much transparency for managing many projects. Microsoft Teams has potential but it needs a little more time in the oven imho. Currently use Harvest + Freshdesk but this is not really for project management, more just effort tracking and support.

We use JIRA, I hate it. I can see how it's good for developers but I think they need a complete overhaul to clean it up a bit.

aren't all these just Kanban boards?

I am trying Zoho Projects. I use Zoho CRM and am liking most of their software. It's pretty similar to the others.
I am also trying Trello and then Asana if Trello doesn't workout.

We really like Monday.
We were able to collaboratively implement a process that works for us based on the way we've always done things versus the way we'd like things to be. We just met regularly and figured out ways to make things clearer so no one was left confused.
It's super flexible. You make it what you want.
