Microsoft
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.

Milanote
Milanote works great for scheduling work-related trips, events and/or photoshoots. Photoshoots in particular are easier to coordinate with Milanote because of the ability to build a board that functions like a calendar with multiple boards and links inside. The level of collaboration helps my team to organize events and check items off of our checklists in a timely manner.

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.

Milanote is extremely user friendly and easy to learn. I have been able to add new users to our plan with little to no training and they were able to easily integrate themselves into the program. Once a user has been able to navigate through the software in its entirety, they are able to use it with little to no training.

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!

I think Milanote stacks pretty well. Lucidchart is great for outlining processes, whereas Milanote is excellent for creative mind-mapping and marketing presentations.

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.

  • The positive impact is the ability to outline projects that I share with the team as it saves time from having to use PowerPoint.
