Overall Satisfaction with Ayoa
My company uses Ayoa to track and delegate interdepartmental tasks to keep business operating daily. Ayoa helped us address follow-thru with tasks and facilitates prompt communication and follow-up with colleagues. It's been adopted by the entire company and is used in various ways to process daily work in all departments. Most users rely on it for task assignment but some have developed personal mind trackers to help them do their job. Other departments have developed it into a simple but useful ticketing system for incoming requests.
- The user interface is intuitive and easy to learn.
- The ability to organize tasks by user, department, type makes it easy to keep on top of work.
- Ayoa is cross platform and has apps for mobile/tablet as well as the desktop app and browser version.
- The administrative side of Ayoa is very limited.
- If a user accidentally deletes a board or leaves the company, it's a bit of a pain to get that data back.
- User administration is difficult and if a use who is invited selects the wrong link after registration they may get locked out of your invite.
- Price point
- Multi-platform
- Automatic notifications to users
- Communication and follow-up has gone way up since we started using Ayoa.
- Accountability has also improved considerably since we started with Ayoa.
- It has unfortunately caused some burn out on some users because it had made it much easier to 'punt' work over to someone else without any prior communication.
I've just started evaluating Planner with out recent upgrade to Business Premium but I'm finding that it could easily be used to replace Ayoa and would help offset the cost from the MS365 Business Premium upgrade by replacing another SaaS cost. It does almost all the same things, integrates in our already existing MS365 ecosystem, and is backed by Microsoft... it's just not as 'pretty' as the bubble boards.
