Hugo Erfahrungen

A Powerful, Flexible, Simple Solution

Kommentare: Overall experience: Very positive. Easy to use. Intuitive. Just log in and go. That's my kind of solution.

Vorteile:

Hugo's strongest features derive from its flexibility (easily incorporate 3rd party software) and its ease of use (readily invite, update, and loop in anyone on your team). Meanwhile, it is easy enough to use that one can set up a meeting, prepare an agenda, invite participants, take notes, and share follow up tasks , all on the fly. The best solutions are powerful but simple.

Nachteile:

I have no serious complaints, but there are little things. For instance, Hugo does not appear to grey out past events, or to let the user select, then move, meetings around. Nor does it appear one can copy recurring events. Maybe the capability is there, but I haven't found it. It would also make sense to download contents from a meeting. Again, this may be possible, but I have yet to see it. But these are bug-fixes at best. Overall, the product is quantum leap over the alternatives.

Hugo - My New Default for Managing Meetings & Taking Notes

Kommentare: Absolutely terrific. It has become the #2 tab in my browser after my inbox. High quality, seamless to use, highly organized.

Vorteile:

My Meetings dashboard page. The Prepare section/widget on that page. Using templates. Tasks in a meeting doc.

Nachteile:

Searching for notes - I feel that there are too many options and the experience is a bit subpar. I'd rather get the raw results with maybe my authored documents prioritized at the top, then have the ability to filter on "company" or "contacts" or otherwise.

While the idea is great, it's not practical

Vorteile:

I like that it forces focus time and blocks out those times on the calendar.

Nachteile:

I've had situations where meeting invites were being scheduled for a date that was further out than needed because of the blocks of time that it automatically puts on my calendar.

Love it! Hugo makes meetings organized and a bit more bearable.

Kommentare: As an adult with inattentive ADHD, Hugo has helped me organize thoughts and process ideas more quickly. I am better prepared and the notes feature helps me be more efficient regarding post-meeting follow-up.

Vorteile:

Clean interface, integrations are useful, great organizing and project management tool!

Nachteile:

Not a fan of the reminders through slack, but it's not really a con because I need it. It would be great if there was a way to have transcripts of virtual meetings.

Great Idea executed well

Vorteile:

The UI is great, and the templates are beneficial whether your meetings follow a formal Robert's Rules of Order or are much more casual. The integration with Todoist is helpful to me, but adding and assigning tasks from meetings is great for our entire staff.

Nachteile:

I'm waiting for the creation of an app for my iPad and iPhone. The website is functional on my iPad in meetings but not as quick or effective as an app. However, I have been assured they are working on it.

Must have for better meetings!

Kommentare: Overall, Hugo is a beautiful platform. It's the easiest way to have better, more efficient meetings as well as document talking points and follow up items. LOVE it.

Vorteile:

Ease of creating meeting agendas for 1-1s or small groups, as well as the ability to assign tasks or follow up items for the next meetings. Awesome bonus: being able to pull from notes or prep from previous meetings to help structure future iterations of recurring meetings.

Nachteile:

Inability to create 1-off tasks for yourself outside of meeting notes or prep. Inability to pull prep or notes from meetings that are not part of the same recurring series.

Great app to make meetings more effective.

Kommentare: Meeting notes and follow-ups where hardly ever done in meetings. This was not effective. Hugo solves this for me by allowing me to take notes in a structured way, share them, adding tasks and use them in follow-ups without loss of information.

Vorteile:

Easy to use and intuitively. Templates provide a great base but can be customized to my needs. Hooks up to me calendar and makes it easy for me to plan my days' meetings.

Nachteile:

I cannot add the app in my MS Teams tenant. It would be great to have the templates directly in the teams meetings.

This is how you build a product.

Kommentare: It is maybe the only piece of software that has given me genuine joy working in Product roles.

Vorteile:

Most? That it was a single click from being in a meeting to beginning to write notes using a pre-set template built for Product Owners? It is literally dreamy software. It hooks directly into your Google or 365 calendar and just.. works. You can even share with your team, this wasn't my purpose for it, but it has it. It's searching is lightning fast and accurate.

Nachteile:

I don't really have a knock against the product. Just you need to hope/pray your 365/Gsuite admin will allow calendar access. My (current) company keeps throwing up frankly false reasons as to why it can't, but the last one was around data centre location (US based), so there's that. Maybe if they get some EU servers that could help.

Fantastic tool for anyone who has meetings

Kommentare: Hugo is awesome. A must have tool for anyone with meetings. It is great for prepping for meetings, taking notes and coming up with actions afterwards. Keeps clients and team members updated on what's happening.

Vorteile:

This tool is so awesome because it integrates with other software such as project management software or slack to share notes and keep everyone informed on what happened and any actions to be taken.

Nachteile:

It doesn't support Microsoft Exchange so I couldn't use it at my new job. But hopefully they add support or they switch to office 365 at work so I can use this great tool again.

Great time management and organization tool!

Vorteile:

Hugo has immediately helped me stay more organized and easily be able to find notes from past meetings without clunky spreadsheets, documents, etc. It also helped me eliminate numerous notepads and journals from my desk that I was always searching through to find that one thought I had written down. Just getting started with the team collaboration features but I think they are going to help our team stay organized as well. Plus the customer service has been fantastic

Nachteile:

Really nothing major that I would note here. There was a slight learning curve but that's true with any new software or tool

helps to engage more effectively with meeting content and track results.

Kommentare: With Hugo, we are able to run meetings efficiently, as everyone involved knows exactly what they need to do.

Vorteile:

Hugo is intuitive, and it's great that we can use it to track meetings in full detail, record minutes, delegate tasks to specific team members, and set automatic reminders to ensure everyone sticks to their deadlines. Hugo offers a number of tools that help the team get a clearer picture of what they need to do in order to be successful, such as the ability to continually update status, which makes things clear to everyone and allows them to fix the situation well in advance of the next meeting.

Nachteile:

I didn't have any problems while using it, as I find all of Hugo's tools easy to use. The interface is straightforward as well. I can easily access meeting minutes and make required updates. It is great that the notification system works as intended.

Excellent tool for facilitating meeting planning and follow-up.

Kommentare: We were able to prepare meeting materials ahead of time, engage all team members, ensure their input and responses, and know exactly what would happen after the meeting without having to go in and review meeting notes with Hugo. Hugo downplays the significance of having all team members present at each meeting, instead of distributing duties so that individuals can focus on other work while still being informed of all outcomes.

Vorteile:

Hugo allows us to move forward with innovative meeting preparation by providing tools for collecting and organizing notes and questions, discussing them with the rest of the team, and recording and saving their responses. I enjoy being able to interact with my peers and prepare for meetings using Hugo's pre-made templates, which allow us to stay organized and access old notes quickly. Meeting minutes can be created, files can be attached to meetings, and we can go back to previous meetings. Hugo is great at keeping me organized, and I always know what to do next. I like how Hugo gives us a complete history of all past meeting minutes and allows us to simply keep track of their updates.

Nachteile:

Hugo has no drawbacks in my opinion, as it is highly intuitive and easy to use, and it can be used for a variety of purposes other than meeting preparation, such as task management.

Hugo-task and notes in 1 place

Vorteile:

That my meetings and the accompanying tasks are in one location. Previously my post demo workflow consisted of using Google Tasks, the notes app on my laptop, and my google calendar. It was fine, but I am glad with Hugo I've found a better way. Hugo lays out my calendar for the day/week, and my associated tasks and notes in one central location. It's really convenient to see my upcoming meetings and any associated meetings with the related docs attached. It has made my follow-up game faster and more accurate too.

Nachteile:

It seems like there is a ton you can do and it can be semi-difficult to set everything up the way you might need.

HUGO solves Project Management Pain Points

Kommentare: I found HUGO searching for a software that was like Front with greater PM functionality. I signed up for the free trial of HUGO and Drag. I taught myself the software, implemented it into my daily work within an hour (which includes creating templates and forms) and was in love with this software day 1. I have shown it to my team, utilized it in current client meetings and pitched it to my boss for full implementation.

Vorteile:

HUGO puts all the administrative pieces of project management into one space and integrates with all our company's applications that we use. HUGO saves me hours each week by streamlining the weekly grind of managing a project.

Nachteile:

If I have to list a con, it would be that I have wasted too much time trying to find a con. Everything that I need to run my meetings is handled in HUGO. Would be nice if I could allow users to select a time block to request a meeting on my calendar.

Meeting Agenda Software for Those that Need To Get Stuff Done

Kommentare: We had way too many meetings that occurred without any sort of agenda. Hugo has corrected that issue and allows my team to come to meetings informed and prepared to contribute whereas in the past they showed up and waited for someone to raise a topic and then chime in.

Vorteile:

The ease at which this platform makes creating meeting agendas and the integrations that it offers for other platforms like Asana have been transformational!

Nachteile:

The text editor can be a bit finicky to work with starting out, but nothing that is not able to be overcome.

Huge for Hugo

Kommentare: Fantastic. Easy to adopt, easy to share, integrates with CRM, git, Slack, and many other tools we use. Super simple to share notes taken through the Hugo app itself or through publication to other communication tools (e.g. Slack channels).

Vorteile:

This app brings my team closer together by making meeting note taking easy to do and the sharing of information across my organization automatic

Nachteile:

It's super easy to pick up and use this software. I look forward to fully developed mobil version

Hugo is a time saver and meeting miracle maker!

Kommentare: It has been excellent! Support helped me workaround what I thought might be an issue but turned out to be a huge feature and time saver for us.

Vorteile:

Having everyone on the same page during meetings and knowing who is responsible for what at the end of the meetings. I also love the meeting templates because I can ensure all of our advisors/reps are gathering the same information in the same format every meeting.

Nachteile:

I just wish it integrated with a more CRM's because ours is not supported.

Great and Effective Tool

Kommentare: Easy, useful, helpful. I stay much more organized and on top of things because of this tool. It also helps me keep my calendar clean. I was doing a lot of workarounds before, adding more "meetings" to my calendar so that I could have a separate place to jot down meeting notes without sharing them with all the attendees. Hugo solved that for me.

Vorteile:

- Easy to jot down private notes that directly and clearly connect with the specific meeting. - Easy to share notes with attendees. - Easy to share notes with non-Hugo users (which can draw them in to use the tool)

Nachteile:

There isn't much that I dislike about the software, or that I like least. I've only been using it for 4 months, so still exploring.

Hugo - game changer

Kommentare: We create and keep our business meeting minutes and some of our tasks in Hugo.

Vorteile:

Hugo is a great product to bring together all of your meeting information in one place. This includes minutes and tasks and other useful detail.

Nachteile:

There are always improvements to be made in any product, but for us it does what it says on the tin.

Overall Review

Vorteile:

I liked how it automatically saved previous notes which could be accessed by everyone with the link to the notes. This made it easy for everyone to refer to the notes for their tasks when needed. Another thing I really liked about the website was how quick it was to register and set up the account. Overall it works well for its purpose and I enjoyed my time using it.

Nachteile:

The formatting/alignment/layout features of the notes can be improved more. For example, if I insert a bullet list in between my text and am done with the list, it is very hard to remove the next bullet points for the normal paragraph to resume. Another thing I noticed was that if there's text with bullet points in between and I erase a line in the middle, the formatting and layout of the whole text changes rather than being unaffected. It's also very difficult to fix again. Overall I think the formatting and layout options of the text can be made easier for the user since it's very difficult to make changes without ruining the whole note.

Good collaborative tool to take meeting notes

Kommentare: Good experience, it has improved the meeting notes efficiency within my company

Vorteile:

Product user-friendly and collaborative, easy to see all the upcoming meetings

Nachteile:

It would be great if we could find past meetings quicker

Candid review of Hugo.com

Kommentare: Collaborative meetings especially starting with the covid 19 period and helps us arrange our meetings and strategies.

Vorteile:

Meeting Management and the flexibility to hover over previous meetings and align with current meeting

Nachteile:

The share button is difficult to operate after clicking on the save button first.

Hugo makes my brain searchable

Kommentare: Fantastic.

Vorteile:

I love that it helps me collate all of my teams thoughts/meetings/ideas in one place and it's easy to search. I was traditionally an analog person preferring the bullet journal system, but with 4 locations and a quickly growing team it was becoming impossible to keep track and organize all of my to-dos in one place. Or, I would have pages and pages of notes and it was difficult to remember where the task lived to remind myself of what needed to be done. Hugo solved that for me. It all lives in one place now and it's allowed my brain to be searchable!

Nachteile:

It is still relatively new, so it's not always easy to use or things change and you have to figure it out again. But worth it.

More Organised than Ever

Kommentare: Hugo has definitely helped me become more organised when it comes to meetings and preparing for the week ahead.

Vorteile:

Hugo is the greatest note keeping tool that I have ever used. It reads your calendar and allows you to set up your meeting by suggesting meeting templates to you, and also offers you gentle follow-up reminders once a meeting is completed. Its so easy to use and set up, customer service is fantastic and I love having everything I need in one place. Highly recommend!

Nachteile:

There is not one thing that I dont like about this tool. It's compatible on all the devices I use (Laptop and iPad)

Great Product

Kommentare: Great company and very responsive.

Vorteile:

Easy to use and take notes. Good integration with calendar system making it very simple to use. Good team coordination so others can see the notes after the meetings as well.

Nachteile:

Nothing really. It works great! They are updating all of the time to add even more features. The complaints I had have been resolved.
