Personally I would not choose Jira Work Management for a marketing team. However, the marketing team was enveloped into the Jira Work Management instance due to use by more technical teams.

Whereas all competing products are great and you may do more or less the same type of tasks, Atlassian has the edge when it comes to cross-team collaboration, in particular in scenarios where escalations must also involve developers or the product teams. All in all, all are …

Tight integration with other tools meant that Jira Work Management was the best choice for our organisation.

My colleague shared it with me as I often collaborate across multiple teams - it stacks up super well as each of those similar products are managed by separate departments. Having another Jira tool under the same roof is extremely beneficial for me, as opposed to having to …

Monday.com was our first attempt at using project management software, but we couldn't get the hang of it and nobody updated tasks. Management got even more confused with it so we switched to Basecamp. Basecamp is very simple and easy for small companies just getting into their …

Trello and Jira Work Management are similar in concept, but the only real benefit of Trello is that is free and, if you already have an instance of Jira, Jira Work Management is worth the price because it's a plugin for your already configured product.

Trello is great for simplicity and visual task tracking, but Jira Work Management surpasses it in scalability and customization; for complex workflow, Jira beats Trello. Asana has a good UI, but integration Jira has better options.

In a certain way, they are related in how to organize the information, however, working our information with Jira Work Management to have a roadmap makes it more professional, accessible, and easy to manage for any member of the team and/or interested person. For example, in …

The user experience of Jira is better than Trello, Trello doesn't offer a Sprint board. And we have followed the Sprint mode of working in the Project management space, therefore preferring Jira. Trello is a more general-use Project Management tool, whereas we were looking for …

While Zoho was very helpful with the reporting and data it provided, Jira was capable of adapting our proyect planning and organization based on the framework known as SCRUM. This was the key selling point for us and why we opted to work JIRA over Zoho Analytics. Both are very …
Chose Jira Work Management
I found better features than Zoho Projects and Zoho Sprints. Airtable required a lot of effort in configuring so won't recommend that. Monday.com was easy but has fewer controls and familiarity among the developers when we work with external agencies.

My main comparison would be towards Phabricator. Phabricator is a useful tool for task and software management, however, it is hard to use, even for people with an engineering background. For people without an engineering background it was totally not user-friendly. The …

Jira is the gold standard if your company can afford it. I have used other programs at other companies that do not have the same collaboration features and do not do as well. This seems to be the best for aligning and for offline use across the board really, can’t beat it.

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

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.

Jira Work Management suits projects involving multiple teams, such as product development. In our case, the design, development, and QA teams use Jira to track tasks from ideation to deployment. Custom workflows and real-time updates ensure that all teams are on the same page, and the ability to link related tasks helps manage dependencies effectively.

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.

Cons
  • More clarification on where to find useful tools and resources for new users.
  • Breakdown of Projects, Tasks, Sub-tasks, bugs is hard to follow and cannot be changed once created.
  • The ability to customize the dashboard/home page to fit the needs of individuals could use some work.

  • 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
As we are Atlassian users overall, this entire ecosystem is truly built from a 360 perspective. It becomes the one source of truth, and we can easily see where we are in our projects and where to emphasize focus in the upcoming period. There are some areas for minor improvements, but they are more a matter of preference rather than business necessity

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.

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.

  • 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. :)
