<\/a>1. Unable to upload and store files<\/h3>\n\n\n\nAlthough Sunsama has updated the capability of attaching files in tasks, there\u2019s still nowhere for users to upload and store files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat makes me waste some time and have to navigate to other platforms.\u201d \u2013 written by Lila V, a regional director of marketing, communications & operations, on G2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/i.giphy.com\/media\/TKvErZACqjawXcTMSP\/giphy.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThink about it, how convenient it will be if there is a tool where you can organize your daily workload and store files of your projects, all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>2. Not suitable for large-task management<\/h3>\n\n\n\nAs we reviewed in the previous blog post<\/a>, the lack of an organized hierarchy makes Sunsama inefficient in handling larger tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLots of reviewers on Capterra agree with us. Here is one of them: \u201cWhat Sunsama has a harder time with (in my humble opinion) is managing tasks that have large scopes, i.e. reaching project level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also added: \u201cIf you are often managing various projects with many facets, tasks, timelines, and employees, I think there are probably better apps out there for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides, according to many users, Sunsama is hard to work as a task tracker if you want a tool that can quickly make duplicate tasks in multiple places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSunsama could improve how it manages the team tasks a little bit better. It’s a good calendar with task tracking but it’s not as full-featured as a task tracker with a calendar if you’re looking for that tool, which for us meant having to duplicate tasks in multiple places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>3. Unable to create collaborative documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\nSunsama isn\u2019t that tool<\/em> for teams to create collaborative documents, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want to brainstorm with others or create knowledge wikis, you\u2019ll need to look elsewhere; a separate collaboration documentation tool, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a pity because document collaboration has high applicability, whether in one\u2019s daily life or work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/thumbs.gfycat.com\/FlakyUnacceptableBonobo-size_restricted.gif\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nForbes argues<\/a> that digital brainstorming has a tendency to be more effective than in-person sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe reason is most people feel more open to expressing their minds, ideas, and thoughts through a monitor or a screen. As a result, an online brainstorming session can generate more quality ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, it\u2019s not exaggerating to say document collaboration tools will make or break such online brainstorming sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re working as a team, this tool also comes in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s easier for all teammates to share important resources, discuss an important strategy, or take meeting notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>4. Limited View Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\nSunsama offers two view options: Tasks view and Calendar view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Why](\"https:\/\/upbase.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/word-image-1664-4.png\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhile both of them give high visibility for task management, they may not be effective for all users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many also express that the tool could have provided more than that, especially when considering the expensive price ($20\/month monthly, $16\/month yearly – which is nearly 2x costlier than most competitors<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn average, other similarly-priced task management tools provide 3-6 view options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>5. No native calendar tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\nMany users seek alternatives to Sunsama due to its lack of a native calendar feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To manage task scheduling and time-blocking, users have to rely on an external calendar app like Outlook or Google Calendar. Without connecting to these apps, these functions simply won’t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that’s not all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some users also complain that Sunsama fails to show events with the same color as they appear in Google Calendar, making it quite challenging to stay organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, if a seamless calendar experience is a priority for you, exploring other options might be the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>6. Sunsama isn\u2019t built for team collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\nWith its limited collaboration features, Sunsama is not convenient for teams or families to work on tasks together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
