AvazaMicrosoft To Do
Considered Both Products
Avaza
Chose Avaza
Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place.
Chose Avaza
Avaza is the only solution that ties all of our needs together in one platform at a reasonable price.
Chose Avaza
Avaza's time tracking capabilities are much more detailed than Upwork's. Upwork focuses on simplicity, using a simple on/off button and a spot for taking notes about each project, but Avaza gives you more to work with, allowing you to add detailed notes and specify tasks.
Chose Avaza
I've used Trello before, but Avaza has way more features and is more applicable for cross-team collaboration. We selected Avaza for it's ability to not only project manage, but also for invoicing, expenses and it's ability to track time. We've gotten more accurate with estimate …
Chose Avaza
This is miles ahead of ActiveCollab. It has more features, the interface is easier to use and the invoicing is easier to use. Across the board better. We migrated from ActiveCollab, but that was just essentially a Fancier Wunderlist. If you just need one project and a few tasks …
Chose Avaza
I have not used any other products like Avaza.
Microsoft To Do
Chose Microsoft To Do
Wrike and monday.com are the big siblings of Microsoft To Do. Even the free versions allow you so much more customization than Microsoft To Do. Miro is an infinite whiteboard style workspace that can be used for project management if your work style is more visual. Again, the …
Chose Microsoft To Do
No comparison. Microsoft To Do is far better, simply because of the easy integration with Outlook email, allowing me to simply flag an email in Outlook, then recognize it as a task in Microsoft To Do. iCloud does not integrate well, even though it claims to. iCloud also …
Chose Microsoft To Do
Microsoft came with the company laptop.
Chose Microsoft To Do
I choose Microsoft to do because is easier and is on the job email, but Clickup is more handful and Google Tasks its in my personal email, so its more convenient.
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
I am a fan of to-do lists. Previously they were all pen and paper though, which is fine for chores but not so much when you consistently receive emails and chat messages with various tasks mentioned in there. To Do helps keeping track of them.
Chose Microsoft To Do
The main alternative that I've used is Todoist. Todoist is better at auto-detecting dates and tags, and I found it easier to assign items to other people using Todoist. I think the big benefit that Microsoft To Do has is that it is more integrated into existing Microsoft …
Chose Microsoft To Do
The biggest selling point of Microsoft To Do is that it's free. We were able to jump in and start learning it without having to worry about making up for the cost of the software. We liked the idea of using all Microsoft products in hopes of some of our older employees being …
Chose Microsoft To Do
Its the only tool I use to manage my to dos and daily tasks
Chose Microsoft To Do
I selected MS To-Do because is easy to use, has a pretty UI and in my organization is free to use. Amazing to schedule your work, meetings, to-do list, prioritize task, etc, but is not like other software like Evernote that have more functionalities like a diagram, …
Chose Microsoft To Do
To be honest, I loved Wunderlist, and so just moved over to Microsoft To Do out of inertia. Also Trello is more Kanban than a to-do list, so not exactly what we needed. Todoist might be more what we need, but we were already using Wunderlist, so we didn't want to take the time …
Chose Microsoft To Do
I prefer Microsoft To Do because of it's amazing app. It seamlessly integrates with mobile so if you're on the go or need to set a reminder, you can very easily take care of it.
Chose Microsoft To Do
Compared to in-built apps from Microsoft or Apple, Wunderlist is far better. It is incredibly hard to collaborate on both Outlook, Gmail, or Apple calendar/reminders. I wouldn't suggest any of those for team projects. Additionally, Wunderlist allows me to separate your work and …
Chose Microsoft To Do
Wunderlist is overly simplistic and a bit outdated compared to competing tools. Trello and Microsoft To-Dos and Planner accomplish the same things better.
Chose Microsoft To Do
I started using Wunderlist purely to keep track of my to-dos and organize my time around the general tasks I have to complete. Attempts I have made to extend Wunderlist into project management or other broader tasks have been largely unsuccessful because it feels like there …
Chose Microsoft To Do
Both Trello and Remember the Milk offer their own value in managing tasks and projects. Wunderlist is the best simple task manager I've come across in that it focuses on the critical features you'd want in a task manager - great interface, ease of use, and accessible anywhere. …
Chose Microsoft To Do
Tried Google Tasks, and Microsoft To-Do (before its integration with Wunderlist) and they didn't quite serve the purpose we were looking for.
Chose Microsoft To Do
Wunderlist was a good starting point, but we now use Todoist, and I definitely wouldn't look back. It is more complicated, but with that comes much more control than you get in Wunderlist - rather than simple search tags you have filters that can run across projects, human …
Chose Microsoft To Do
I have tried numerous programs in the past, this one, in particular, has an easy interface and almost anyone can use it. One of the most recent programs we have tried is Microsoft To-Do and it does not even compare. We have created access databases specific to do this type of …
Chose Microsoft To Do
It is more simple, direct, and easy to manage. Also, the price point is much less than most, if not all CRM's on the market.
Chose Microsoft To Do
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
I think they merged or something—I don’t remember—but it was not as easy as this one was. We love that it is simple and easy.
Chose Microsoft To Do
Not available, this is the first task management app we have tried so far. Slack is the closest thing we have.

There are teams who work hard, and there are those who work smart. Avaza helps you be the latter--it's is a great tool for any team collaborating on several projects, especially multiple projects with a lot of simultaneously moving parts. It has just about everything you need - from team schedules to timesheets, down to the task and sub-task monitoring. The best part for me is that we can switch from List View to Kanban to Gantt charts!

Great to capture flagged emails for reminders later. Great for quick entry tasks. Would love it if you could set a checklist so that you could more easily assign a task to a category, that is currently a little more tedious than what it should be. The lack of integration with Google is also a little disappointing.

Pros
  • Helps keep track of time spent on each project
  • Helps employees break down their time spent throughout the day
  • Encourages better time management skills
Read full review
  • Wunderlist is what you need for your to do lists. It's really simple to use.
  • Allows you to set due date to your lists, share them with your team and/or create a folder to divide and organize all your list set
  • Also, Wunderlist is compatible with all platform and devices. So you can always be updated on your list or work on them from wherever you are and with all the devices you have.

Cons
  • I wish sub-tasks could also have due dates
  • For really big projects, we hope there could be phases (aside from sections)
  • In the chatbox, it would be great if photo attachments could be displayed as screenshots (instead of downloading the file)

  • Viewing more than one task at a time.
  • Email forwarding tasks - sometimes can be buggy and not always smooth.
  • Option to show more detail on a task without clicking task - example: being able to see attachment without clicking on task to view.

Usability
Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work.
Read full review
The actual user interface and the way to navigate around the app is very intuitive and easy to learn/use which would make me give it a high ranking, but the syncing issues drop down my rating because there are times where you add an item to the list and then it just disappears. Then when you add it again the sync will happen and now you have duplicates. The other negative with the usability is adding extra information to an item, such as files or comments or assignments. You can do it but it's difficult to tell which items have this information from the main screen. You have to click on them individually.

They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues.

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.

Wrike and monday.com are the big siblings of Microsoft To Do. Even the free versions allow you so much more customization than Microsoft To Do. Miro is an infinite whiteboard style workspace that can be used for project management if your work style is more visual. Again, the free version is still so much more customizable and usable than Microsoft To Do. On a team of people of multiple generations, Microsoft To Do might be a good option if you have to work collaboratively on a simple project. Otherwise, I would recommend any of the other three software options above Microsoft To Do.

  • Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.

  • It helps our team complete tasks on time, securing better ROIs.
  • No tasks are being forgotten, leading to better client retention.
  • The team is getting serious momentum from being able to see and finish the tasks. We even applaud every time we hear the little "ding!" when the task is completed. :)
