    Chose Google Keep
    I believe Google Keep does a great job stacked up against the other competitors. Evernote has a bit more synchronicity between other software and a very strong OCR technology but Google Keep holds its own as a free, easy-to-use note-taking app. I have used all three of these …

    We use it to post photos of a given area or circumstance, so there is never a question about the current appearance or the desired appearance, as the case may be. We also use it a lot for checklists. When items are needed, possibly from different locations, team members can check them off a shared list as they are acquired, so we can see what is still required and what has been acquired, and the person responsible can initial the checked-off entry.

    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.

    Pros
    Google
    • It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
    • The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
    • I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
    • Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.

    Cons
    Google
    • The iOS app sometimes gets into a state and doesn't update your notes (won't show new notes from other devices / computer), needs to be re-installed to resolve
    • Your notes take up space in your Google account's quota, though this is not very apparent at first - you have to keep an eye on what you are storing - huge pictures better not go in there

    • 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.

    It does everything I need it to do. It is easy to organize and categorize what I need and what I want to see.

    It's working, and doing precisely what we selected it for. The only hesitation is if Microsoft suddenly drops the platform.

    Usability
    Google
    They made it simple for anyone to use. There are no complicated steps involved to create a note, edit a note, or search for a specific item located in a note. They also made it simple to share it with others, making it easy to collaborate. Google kept it basic without a thousand "bells and whistles" to overcomplicate it.

    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 gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.

    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.

    The main differential of Google Keep is its simplicity and efficiency for quick notes. I can draw on the card, put a photo, record audio if I can't write at the moment, in short, for everyday tasks, simple things, it is superior.

    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!

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • Quick note-taking and easy access to reminders reduce time wasted on forgotten tasks, improving efficiency.
    • Digital note-taking reduces the need for notebooks, sticky notes, and printed task lists.
    • Employees sometimes need to move notes to Google Docs for better formatting, leading to extra work.

    • 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.
