Reviews of Grunt
Grunt Review
Comments: Overall, I think Grunt is an excellent software for professionals looking to improve their productivity by automating tedious tasks and creating professional presentations. While the price may be considered high for some, the features and added value it offers make it a tool of choice for professionals who need to create presentations and reports regularly.
Pros:
I was impressed by Grunt's features, particularly its intuitive and user-friendly interface. It helped me create professional presentations and reports in minutes by automating several tedious manual tasks such as alignment, formatting, and data visualization. Grunt supports a wide variety of business charts, including several chart types that are not available in Excel and PowerPoint. Additionally, the visual grid feature made it possible to create visually appealing presentations.
Cons:
The only negative aspect of Grunt that I found was its price. At $32 per month, it is quite expensive compared to other similar tools on the market. However, considering the features and added value it offers, it can be a worthwhile investment for professionals who need to create presentations and reports regularly.
Alternatives Considered:
Grunt offers great design options and perfect integration with Excel
Comments: Overall I can only talk positively about Grunt. I hope they will be able to keep up all the positive aspects while (surely!) growing user base and as a company.
Pros:
Grunt's concept of layers to change aspects of a table, chart or graph is intutive and flexible. Once you get used to the concept it is much quicker compared to other plugins and it also allows much better template systems. The support is stellar and you often will get a reply within a couple of minutes. It feels very personal talking to the team and not like you are dealing with a stiff corporation.
Cons:
There is nothing that I see as a con. Sometimes there are bugs, but the team is very responsive in addressing them and so far there was nothing major preventing me in using it.
Slow, missing functionality and naggy
Comments: I was responsible for assessing this for us as a larger company. I found their software and website immature. Not ready to be a paid product.
Pros:
Tables. That's it. I could barely find anything I liked.
Cons:
No excel to gantt functionality which is a key feature of their competitor. Slow. Most obnoxious free trial pop up I have ever seen.
All in one project, reporting and productivity tool
Comments: I can easily create business presentations or report within 30 minutes. Data is reliable as there are no errors from copy-pasting like with the manual processes. I cut the time I spent in PowerPoint by more than 70%.
Pros:
Working with Charts and Gantt has been an incredibly beneficial part of my project process, allowing me to complete tasks ahead of their timeline through visual representation. This powerful tool has drastically improved my workflow and efficiency in completing my projects. The support is fantastic and always available to answer my questions.
Cons:
Working with Charts and Gantt I didn’t find any cons.
