Overall Satisfaction with OmniFocus

As a small business owner, I use OmniFocus for general planning and organizing of projects and ideas for both business and personal. It allows for the organization of various project types and allows you to tie specific contexts to each of them. It also allows you to coordinate projects and tasks in a way that is helpful in terms of if it is a single project or something done in parallel or sequentially.

Pros

  • Brainstorming
  • Project planning

Cons

  • The initial setup can be a little cumbersome.
  • Mobile integration is lacking.
  • It has been a good tool for my intended purpose (capturing ideas and project roadmaps).
I initially liked how OmniFocus was set up, but over time have gone back to a combination of Evernote and Todoist/Drafts for my daily organizing. This has been strictly from an ease of use and functionality perspective.
I have not had to call support for this product, so I don't really have any specific experience in that regard. I guess the good news is that the product has worked as advertised, so I haven't needed the support!

Would you buy OmniFocus again?

Yes

I think OmniFocus does a nice job in the area of brainstorming and getting projects and ideas out of your head and into a usable form. Depending on the extent of your project, OmniFocus could be a good help for some initial organization of your thoughts and ideas. For some, it might be overkill and something more straightforward like Todoist or Drafts might do the trick.
