Overall Satisfaction with OmniFocus

Omnifocus is a fantastic application for project management. The ability to set up parent / child tasks and roll up into milestones and then individual projects, make it the most user-friendly project management tool. All users are able to access their tasks and (keep updating) via mobile devices (iPhones and iPads) to ensure that everyone has a real-time view of all current projects. It is extremely easy to assign people to tasks and each member can configure their own notifications of tasks that are higher priority and those which which are nearing deadline.
  • Marketing Campaigns......we are able to list the many facets of a marketing campaign and structure all the actionables required.
  • Development Projects......we are able to assign both internal personnel as well as external out-sourced partners to all tasks and projects. There is a review module within Omnifocus which makes it simple to keep on top of progress.
  • Personal Tasks......Omnifocus is also great for your personal tasks; whether it's a shopping list or a home DIY project.
  • Gantt Chart view as in Microsoft Project would be nice.
  • Interface with Evernote would also be great for better file storage.
  • Automatic Sync on mobile devices is missing.
  • Neither really, although it has enabled an excellent means of capturing all projects and actions.
I selected Omnifocus, initially as it was Mac based and allowed me to keep on top of all my projects and tasks due to access on an iPhone and iPad. Previously I have used Microsoft Project, however I feel that Omnifocus is more powerful and easier to use.
I have found personally that Omnifocus is excellent for both home and business. I have used Omnifocus for quite some time and one of my fears is losing data or it getting corrupted. In all the time that I have used Omnifocus, I have never lost a single piece of information, so I am satisfied that this is bullet proof. An area I would like to see Omnifocus develop into is by providing a (push-task) to other users. Currently you can only assign tasks in your own database, but I would like to see more of a team collaboration suite.
