    Any.Do Inc.
    Chose Any.do
    Any.do is very easy to use, other application has similar experience, Asana has much more features that Any.do but it is meant for project management where as Any.do is the perfect reminder application. Other apps like Apple reminders, to do list also do the same but their user …

    Chose Any.do
    Any.do has a key selling point for me and is the AI integration to read through your tasks and suggest calendar events, also user interface in the mobile app is quite friendly and comfortable for users. I like that it has a different option for grocery lists, it helps me …

    Chose Any.do
    As opposed to OmniFocus, which is a behemoth when it comes to task apps, Any.do is much simpler and in return, makes it easier to jump in and out of it as needed. This enables me to check things off quickly, or add something before I forget it without having to jump into a …

    Any.do is simple and easy to use. I'm huge fan of Wunderlist, but now a fan of Any.do too.

    Asana
    Chose Asana
    Asana is the best of both worlds because it allows multiple views of your tasks and dashboards for project managers to review. Some of the competitors only allow one way of working, which can be a roadblock for users who are less flexible in their workflow. Getting all users to …
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    Ease of use and access are what initially put Asana ahead of other options available. We have stuck with Asana because of the flexibility in solving a variety of challenges that would otherwise fall to a spreadsheet or piles of paper, and the load it has taken off of the team …
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    We tried Trello, Wunderlist, and Producteev, but at the time, none of them had the feature set that Asana offers. The main requirement we had was the ability to create projects and subtasks with individual due dates and assignments. Asana was the only one that allowed us to …
    Incentivized
    Chose Asana
    Asana is a great balance of simplicity and robustness. JIRA is simply too robust for my team's needs - it is more appropriate for a software team. We did not need the capabilities to customize automated workflows. Our development process is waterfall, so a PM software centered …

    Outlook
    Outlook can track tasks. However, it's not very collaborative; you can send tasks to other people but you can see what them after that. This feature as part of Outlook was a disaster. The only benefit that currently exists is that it was free; it never really fit in …
    Microsoft
    Chose Microsoft To Do
    Microsoft To-Do simply put just does to-do lists very well. I don't want the visual components of software like Trello or ClickUp, and I had used Asana in previous roles and just found it to have too much going on. I also didn't like the notification system of Asana, constantly …

    Chose Microsoft To Do
    Reason I went with Wunderlist is a simpler build. Applications like Asana or Trello are more large scale for milestones on projects with multiple calibrations across the project. I did not need to overcomplicate things, I needed a simple easy solution that gets the job done, …

    Chose Microsoft To Do
    Wunderlist is a good straightforward to-do list that doesn't have anything super extra attached to it. It comes with an app (unlike Trello), and easy to learn (unlike Asana). Trello and Asana are better for complex tasks but take a while to set-up. Wunderlist is the most …

    While I have tried a number of other to-do lists, Wunderlist is easy to use and free. Most other to-do lists that I have tried I have used for a day or two and the have deleted and returned to Wunderlist. Part of it is that I am used to this tool, but I think it is also just …

    Chose Microsoft To Do
    Wunderlist has a much simpler layout than the other software we have tried. Others are too complex when reminders and note-taking should not be this complex. Their homepage layouts are even more convoluting and unnecessary. Simpler is normally better for something like this. …

    Chose Microsoft To Do
    While all the task apps are very similar in design and scope, there's a simplicity to Wunderlist that beats the others. OmniFocus is great if you want the most options, and you've got complicated projects to manage, but for my business, Wunderlist does the job, does it well, …

    I think each of this products has its pros and its cons, but the only right way to pick the best one is to try them all. This kind of software is used on a daily basis, and you end up interacting a lot more than you would think of, so you really need to use one software that …

    The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work

    I think Microsoft To Do is helpful for people who don't need a lot of customization in a task manager. I prefer using 3rd party task managers that allow me to create projects with tasks and subtasks. But for a team that already uses Microsoft products and doesn't want to learn or invest capital in another task manager, Microsoft To Do covers the basics and syncs with your calendar.

    It is very very intuitive, I have been using the app since it was launched, started using it as a personal reminder, and then also recommended within the organization. The experience is very similar to writing on a pad and then when complete crossing it off. I love it's user experience.

    It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

    User friendly, easy to configure, and VERY simplistic. I particularly use heavily the phone app feature. While others in the room are on social media, I am reviewing my tasks and this triggers other tasks I know I need to get done. I like the sense of accomplishment of moving things to the completed pile as well.

    I have not had an issue where I needed to reach out to Wunderlist, but I know their contact and online chat is easy to access and feel confident that they would be helpful. My only worry is Wunderlist is becoming Microsoft to-do in May 2020, and I believe the app will become worse after that.

    Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.

    It's a small tool compared to bigger project management software, but we found that they work perfectly together. It helps you declutter the larger PM tools, keep your smaller tasks in-line and make sure they get completed. When you're working in a creative agency, ideas and tasks are flying around, so having a tool like this that keeps you accountable and reminds you of your tasks is a must!

    • Its affordable enough that the limited set of problems it solves are worth the investment.
    • If you already have Office 365 it doesn't really make sense unless you hate the task app.
    • With Microsoft acquiring Wunderlist I wouldn't start investing in this product. I would either choose Office 365 and go with TO-DO or use a free app.
