Pyrus

What do you like best?

Pyrus is well-designed and is easy to use (it took me 5 mins to teach my team how to use it). It has a very user-friendly interface and a nice iPhone application. My team does not lose track of the tasks anymore. The e-mail and messenger nightmares are over.

What do you dislike?

So far I've noticed only one tiny bug in Pyrus but it does not affect the work of my team at all.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Spend 5 mins to show your teammates how to get the most out of Pyrus.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

My team does a mass medium and we keep track of our tasks using Pyrus. Each publication requires multiple steps: we reach out to the experts, we develop the questions for the experts, we edit their interviews and op-eds, we do proofreading, we publish an article on our website, we translate an article from English to Russian or vice versa, we promote an article on social media, etc. At least four people need to be involved to release one article. It's nice to be able to see the whole cycle of work on an article in one thread and it's nice to be able to set the deadlines. Pyrus keeps everybody accountable and on track.
