Overall Satisfaction with Todoist
Todoist is used within my department by myself and direct reports to manage our own internal workload across thirteen individuals. We have a handful of integrations allowing certain customer requests to be entered and assigned automatically, as well as managing a review and approval workflow for certain tasks and users. We track all projects and individual tasks within Todoist and use it daily as the central task management system.
- Creates tasks easily using human language
- Shares tasks and comments simply through email or desktop/mobile app
- Allows new users to see tasks and priorities clearly without much of a learning curve
- Only offers due dates, not defer or "start working on" dates
- Some icons are too low contrast and incredibly hard to see
- Fluctuation in paid vs premium features can make it hard to decide what account type is best for you
- I can tell at a glance what has and has not been done
- Allows delegation more easily, both in assigning and reviewing work
- Limits email and in-person communication around a task
- Wunderlist and Asana
Todoist was more fully featured than Wunderlist. The sub-tasking and due dates are more robust, and having 4 priority levels is much better than a simple flag. Asana was used immediately prior to Todoist here, and the team found it to be too overwhelming to create and update a task. This was partly due to the number of options and features, and partly due to a web-only solution with limited hotkey support.
