Overview

Productive is a cloud platform for agencies, consultancies and IT firms that sell their people's time, and it covers the commercial side of that work as much as the delivery side. Sales run through a built-in CRM, delivery through projects, tasks and Gantt charts, and the staffing question through resource planning and time tracking. What separates it from a project tool is the financial half: budgets carrying cost and billing rates, invoicing, revenue recognition and a scenario builder for testing headcount against revenue. It is sold from a ten-user floor.

Our take

Productive suits a services firm whose real question is margin rather than task tracking: the number a director cares about, profit per project, falls out of the same records the team fills in daily, with no spreadsheet in between. That depth is aimed at firms with a finance function to feed, and it asks for the discipline to keep rates and budgets current; a small studio that only wants tasks and timers will find it heavy and priced for someone else. Read the plan table rather than the headline, because several of the things people buy it for sit above the entry tier. Its real comparison is not another project tool but an ERP with a services module, and against that it is the lighter and faster option to adopt.

How we check reviews

Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.

Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.

What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.

A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
