    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 …

    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 …

    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.

    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
    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    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
    Microsoft
    • 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
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    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.

    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
    Microsoft
    • 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.
