Overall Satisfaction with Todoist

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Todoist is used by the administrative staff to collect incoming tasks, organize them and structure them. Its main advantages are: the ability to capture things from variety of sources (emails from Spark app, webpages, quick entry for dumping ideas) and the ability to filter tasks according to multitude of criteria (e.g. labels, assignees, dates, projects).

Pros and Cons

Pros

ubiquitous capture
clean, modern, minimalistic design
constant polishing (frequent updates)

Cons

poor support of clients on older systems (MacOS Sierra)
no start dates
just task list (no extra task views)

Return on Investment

improved meeting deadlines
improved scheduling financial matters
didn't improve achieving long-term goals

Other Software Used

Infinity, Asana, Trello

Likelihood to Recommend

Todoist shines as an advanced to-do list (it makes capturing tasks a real pleasure; you could have lots of labels/tasks for any task; filter function is very flexible) but if you expect more (wikis, dependencies, kanban board, data structured in a table, docs) you unfortunately have to look elsewhere. There's focus on planning and organizing but not on executing.
