SuiteDash

This all-in-one platform is a game-changer, bringing everything I need into one place. Highly recommended!

It doesn't take much to get started, just a little effort, but it's definitely worth it.

The Best Things About SuiteDash (From Someone Who Uses It Daily)
One System That Actually Does It All
Look, I was skeptical at first (who isn't?), but having everything under one roof is a game-changer. No more jumping between Trello, Dropbox, and whatever else. I can handle projects, talk to clients, and manage files without switching tabs. Finally!
The Client Portal Is Seriously Sweet
This is hands down my favorite feature. It looks super professional, and my clients love it. They can log in, see their projects, approve stuff, and send messages all in one place. Plus, I could brand it with my company's colors and logo - makes us look way more professional than we probably are 😉
File Sharing That Makes Sense
Remember those "Did you get the file I sent?" messages? Gone. The file management system is clean and simple. Plus, you can see who's viewed what and when. No more clients claiming they never saw that document!
The Automation Tools Are Mind-Blowing
I used to spend hours on repetitive tasks. Now? SuiteDash handles my welcome emails, follow-ups, and project updates automatically. It's like having a virtual assistant working 24/7.
White-Labeling Everything
Being able to make everything match my brand is fantastic. Clients think we have this super fancy custom system. Little do they know! 😎
Time-Tracking That's Actually Usable
The built-in time tracking is straightforward and helps keep projects profitable. No more guessing how long things take.
Project Templates Save Hours
Once you set up a template for your common projects, you can duplicate it with one click. All the tasks, timelines, and files - boom, ready to go.
The Mobile App Actually Works
I can check in on things from my phone without wanting to throw it across the room. That's saying something!
Bonus: Their support team is surprisingly human. They actually read your questions and give real answers, not just copy-paste responses.

The Not-So-Great Stuff About SuiteDash:
- Steep Learning Curve
Took me almost a month to really get comfortable with it. There's just so much to learn, and the tutorials aren't always helpful. My team struggled at first too.
- Clunky Interface
Too many clicks to get things done. The navigation isn't intuitive, and finding stuff can be a real pain sometimes. The dashboard feels overcrowded.

Suitedash is a great platform when it works. Granted, it's slower than a stoned snail and it's not winning any beauty awards anytime soon, but it's open, and there's buckets of potential.

I'll start small: It's slow, really slow. I'm waiting 10 seconds between page loads. I have fibre broadband and all that good stuff, and have accessed the platform from plenty of other connections, so [SENSITIVE CONTENT] ' repeat potestations that it's fast for them just don't cut it. It's slow, admit it.
It's ugly. The interface smacks of something made by someone who saw a CRM, and without much design experience, decided they wanted to do things differently. There's a custom CSS area, but it feels strange having to add my own code to stop my CRM from looking like a multi-era nostalgia game drank too much koolaid.

But these are just appetisers. After having ploughed time into setup (grinding 10 second load after grinding 10 second load) it seems they have no idea about European credit card requirements, which have left most of Europe, and now the UK, without Stripe payments processing. When SCA enforcement came into complete enforcement, many of us have been left without a reliable way to get paid.

They have known about this for over a year. Some of their clients tried warning them, but were ignored.

The required work to get their Stripe integration up to date clocks in at around 80 lines of code (I've performed this myself on some of my own personal implementations). I've been told the fix is coming in weeks rather than days, and furnished with a rather lengthy "It is what it is, just deal with it" response from the [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Ease of use
the UI
Training material
The client portal for our client
The one-stop shop solution
The constant communication from the provider

May be a little bit overwhelming at first, so you may need a little time to learn the ropes of that solution but there are plenty of training videos.
