Microsoft To Do vs. Zenkit

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.

Zenkit is a good tool to manage your own projects and sharing progress with colleagues. If you are looking for a tool to accomplish this use case, Zenkit would be my first recommendation.

• 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.

• Multiple Views - Kanban.Cards, Lists, Tables & even Mindmaps
• Addition of custom fields which included numbers
• In table view this can be filtered & numbered fields can have totals at the top.
• Zenkit has handy pre-buitl templates for different kinds of use such a CRM
• Has the ability to change field content across cards via bulk action. Neat!
• Can have formulas in Cutom fields
• Calander syncs to Google calendar
• Can bulk import Trello lists & cards easily

• 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.

• There are some instances where the dashboard gets laggy and buggy. But goes back to normal in a few minutes
• Integrations still not that advanced--but there's still room for improvement
• Not recommended for teams with more than 6 people-- you will need to upgrade your account to Premium.

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.

The support is always friendly and offers fast solutions if possible. Bugs were removed in the next hours after contacting the support. They have also a lot of tutorials and great documentation.

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!

As described before, Zenkit adds a lot more flexibility to the things the other applications can do. But this also means that there is no predefined structure which might be helpful for some people. Zenkit is working on that and is releasing some apps building on the core, so that could improve over time.

• 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.

• For the price, it is definitely worth a punt.
• Helped me manage tasks, processes and strategic goals thus saving time & being more efficient.
• SImple to learn & plenty of tutorials so onboarding was straightforward.
