    The best part about Meistertask is how dead simple it is, while still absolutely nailing what it needs to really get right. Meistertask makes task management dead simple for me and keeps the detail out of the way unless I specifically need it.

    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.

    • The learning curve is really short compared to other software that is related to this.
    • It is very easy to manage several projects at the same time, thus saving time in the work process.
    • Managing the elements of the list is very comfortable since its interface allows everything to work in an orderly manner based on what I want to put as important for me.
    • It has versions that are adapted to any type of company or if you want to give a personal use because it also has an option based on what you want to do with MeisterTask.

    • Wunderlist is what you need for your to do lists. It's really simple to use.

    • 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
    MeisterLabs GmbH
    • Some detailed task definitions may be difficult to implement.
    • Those using traditional project tools may find MeisterTask a little bit superficial and scattered.
    • Often you may need additional tools to complete the inefficiencies of Kanban board (no analytics for team performance, lack of time planning, etc.).
    • Reports and analytics are limited.

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

    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.

    Meistertask seems like it was made for work, and it doesn’t hide its features amid complicated menus. The Mobile experience is one of the best I have used in task management. It integrates with other tools more widely via Zapier and various built-in ecosystem connections within the Meisterlabs space. If you need to get started simplifying your digital life, this can help.

    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
    MeisterLabs GmbH
    • MeisterTask saves me a lot of time in communicating about various tasks of a project. The activity chat feature lets me communicate with other members of my team without having to be in the same location as them, and increasing our productivity.
    • It has caused me to use some additional time though, and create a Gantt chart myself instead of being able to use a built-in feature.
    • MeisterTask is great for letting us organize and keep track of all aspects of a project and make sure each one gets done by its respective due date.

    • 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.
