    1) Great for managing your work and personal activities. 2) One of the best implementations of the Getting Things Done method. 3) Not really suited for collaborative work management; OmniFocus is managed on a per-user basis so you can't share/assign tasks.

    It is well-suited for paperwork management and other scenarios where compliance, traceability, and workflow orchestration are the primary goals. On the other hand, the LMS is a very weak feature; it is very manual, you cannot have traceability of completion, it is hard to keep databases updated, and the reporting tool is bad.

    Pros
    The Omni Group
    • Ease of viewing your projects at a high-level.
    • Ease of viewing what tasks need to be done at the present moment and the sorting of those tasks by availability, due date, start date, needed resources, and project.
    • The visual interface is really nice to work with, the UX/UI is intelligent and intuitive.
    • It's the most extensible software I've used. There is a community of people that publish compatible scripts for Omnifocus at no charge.
    • The code is robust and I've almost never had a bug or a glitch that resulted in issues.
    • The software syncs in the cloud between MacOS and iOS seamlessly and faster than other To-Do software. The sync aspect is available free of charge.
    • The development team at Omnifocus is on top of bugs and they have been adding releases regularly to increase functionality and performance.
    • While OmniFocus adheres to the GTD (Getting things done) principles, it can be used in almost any manner and you aren't stuck with just that methodology.

    Cons
    The Omni Group
    • I would really like to see graphic presentations of how I allocate my time, what categories of tasks don't get accomplished, etc.
    • I would like to see OmniFocus include Gantt chart functionality, such as allowing me to see how long it took me to accomplish a task from start to finish. Allowing me to actually input time spent, and seeing it on a Gantt chart, would be icing on the cake.

    • The LMS feature is not good.
    • Some databases should be uploaded manually.
    • Is hard to link to other systems.

    Usability
    The Omni Group
    This is a super usable tool to use. I really like the front-end user experiences, which makes using it really clear
    Read full review
    SoftExpert
    Its usability is good in relation to process traceability, but the user experience is not very strong. Learning how to use the platform is very time-consuming because it is not very user-friendly; that's why we are subtilizing all its features. Also, the reporting tool is not very good, and it's hard to personalize.

    Support Rating
    The Omni Group
    OmniFocus has excellent user forums. They're active as well as mature, since the product has been around for years. I've never needed to actually contact customer support because OmniFocus is popular enough that I've always been able to find an answer in the forums, or in an article, or in a YouTube video.

    OmniFocus is built for the user with a lot going on - consequently, it does a great job at organizing lots of things in a manageable workload. It's perfect for taking a project and breaking it down into small tasks for yourself or teams. Once you get past the learning curve, it's quick at adding new tasks. Overall, it's an excellent product.

    Return on Investment
    The Omni Group
    • OmniFocus keeps our tasks moving forward. Using a free script you can search all your current projects for projects that have no next step assigned to it to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
    • When we serve our clients, the attention to detail we are able to give them comes from accurate tracking of what we need to deliver.
    • We complete projects 25% faster than before and we can see where the bottlenecks are immediate. We have also been forced to document tasks in a more concrete manner which allows for better execution.

    • We were able to store all our contractual documentation with updated versions.
    • This tool was cheaper compared with other vendors.
