Upwork Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate that I can connect with specialists across different fields within hours. When I have a need I like to move quickly and Upwork allows that.

Sometimes the sheer number of proposals I receive can be overwhelming.

I am able to move forward in my business faster by hiring content creators and designers.

There are many job offers and many freelancers on Upwork. Therefore, there is a great offer and demand situation. In addition, ratings about freelancers and employers are available, which allows for a better assessment of the quality and trustworthiness of the other party before interacting at all. Furthermore, there are numerous features that allow freelancers to showcase their work. This is a great tool for both freelancers and employers as it provides a better idea of what to expect from that person. While searching for a job, there are many filters that make it easier to navigate the platform, which also happens when searching for a freelancer.

The fact that there are so many people using the platform leads to the possibility of certain irregularities. Fake jobs or jobs that require fake reviews on fake travel sites and similar scams can be seen sometimes. That said, the platform makes it easier to report when any of these irregularities take place. Also, it has become a more difficult place for new freelancers as features that used to be free now require payment. Therefore, new freelancers have a harder time earning a quality score, which is instrumental for employers looking for the best workers.

The platform has numerous features and tools that allow for easier navigation within it. Therefore, it is a great place to both find jobs and find great freelancers for long-term and short-term projects.

What I like best is the trustworthiness of the platform. I am 100% sure that I will receive money from my clients and they would trust me as well based on my profile

What I dislike is the Customer Support, not really efficient. I've tried to sent a couple email to the UpWork employees and never received a response from them. In addition, I partially disagree on the algorithm of the Job Success score, I would like to see some improvements on this. It seems that the person does not succeed in the job while it can also mean that a client did not provide a feedback because never logged in on the platform or because a contract was closed a bit later.

I am solving my work-life balance and the possibility to be flexible every day! I love this platform, it changed my life completely.

The credibility and authenticity of projects

The long time for support staff to respond

Money problems are being solved slowly.

We have been able to source much needed talent and get help on all sorts of projects for our business. We have found some integral parts of our business using Upwork.

The fees charged by Upwork and the fact that they bill me prior to me approving time for the contractors.

We have used contractors on Upwork for things from our website to Data Scientists. It has allowed us to get projects completed in a timely manner.

Upwork has grown over the years and became the number platform for freelancers. I have been able to grow my business and gain great relationships for potential leads.

Not much I don't like. I can not think of anything at the moment.

Finding new clients. Quick connections fast negotiation no worry of contracts

eraning money. If one has a long term job he can find more money

not finding perfect job. When I need an urgent job there is a challenge in finding it

earning enough money

Honest rating system, good clients, almost 100% warranty that you get paid for my work.

From the beginning, it's hard to understand how to succeed. But it's more question to myself than to the UpWork.

If you work honestly, with passion, the clients will find you. This is the precious benefit of Upwork. If you are ready to work дike damned, the clients will automatically find you, but not initially. It will take some time. But it's like a dream comes true. You work for the best worldwide clients and get payment in a "no question asked" manner. In less than 1 hour, I get payment on the Upwork card.

The platform provides most of the tools I need to manage my contracts with clients

The cost can be a little on the higher side

It is easy to connect with clients and provide them with my services

I like the fact that I can find and hire skilled people and then build a relationship with them for future projects.

Picking the right person for new projects. It can be stressful to discern whether I'm making the right choice.

I'm hiring people to do work that I can't or don't have time to do, while not being prepared to make a full-time hire. Upwork makes it easy to build a team without some of the headaches that come with hire people directly.

Easy to find someone to do mundane tasks that take up a lot of time that can be put to better use elsewhere. My experience has been positive, and it's easy to pay people and track the payments through UpWork.

I've been fortunate that I ended up feeling I could trust my help. The only think I dislike is not something they can control, which is whether or not you can trust a stranger in your database.

Data entry, spreadsheet creation, list building

- The verity of freelancers - The escrow system - The user interface is friendly

The charges are a bit expansive and needs to be reviewed

- I had the opportunity to hire talented freelancers to help turning my ideas into real project

During covid, we can work very easily for Upwork

I think there is many spam job post and They can available live chat for all

DevOps work

Setting up the budget for the work, so only those freelancers who are willing to do within the budget can signup for the task

Nothing as such, at least for the moment

Able to look for freelancers who can provide values services for the requirements that we have

I like the upwork call option, milestones, fixed and hourly project

Upwork app very slow 😔 otherwise all great

M doing my great job on Upwork self-employed also as a Web designer and developer at home.

Whenever I need quality work. I use upwork.

There are no dislikes. It works perfectly.

Content Writing, Designing

I have worked with Upwork on multiple occasions. The platform is easy to navigate and I was able to work with contractors I've used in the past. The process of communicating with and setting expectations for the engagement was easy.

Nothing really. The process from start to finish was straight forward. Even the billing processes was painless.

Quick turn, short duration work. We are building a SaaS product and needed some data help. I count on Upwork to have great resources at the ready.

The respect for sellers against others.

The paid connects and fees for contracts

It is helping me to run my company

Upwork is the best place to meet new companies and people all around the world.

The payment cycle is a bit longer. I have to wait 10 days after 1-week work submit.

Sole freelancing gives me lots of time vs the bucks rather than employment role.

Upwork consistently delivers skilled individuals whose high-quality work product matches their resumes. Most jobs have multiple bidders unless it's for an obscure technical product. Bidders have generally shown good initiative to add value and be productively creative on given contracts. The ability to change contract terms at any time is very useful.

The file management system needs to be improved. Upwork admins should be able to create folders where files from any contract can be saved and organized for persistent reference. Secondly, the billing and invoicing could be simplified as well as adding statements of account on a quarterly and annual basis. Thirdly, UpWork could do better to weed out bidders who are under-performing. When a bidder shows a low rating but seems to have good work product it is difficult to find the negative reviews.

We require narrow skillsets at lower rates than we can source locally and at short notice. Having access to a global labor force has made our business more competitive and sustainable with a measurable impact on revenue and profits.
