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.

SmartSuite
It is best suited to be a google alternative for a google drive due to its multiple functions. Can add action items, upload multiple types of files and assign people responsibilities and tasks. It combines resource platform abilities with project management functionality in order to unite all your needs in one area.

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!

For our team, SmartSuite contains all features that we need. Before we use Asana, Trello and tried to use Airtable. But all of these management systems did not satisfy us. Then we started using SmartSuite, got to know all the possibilities and decided to switch to it

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.
