Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Wunderlist as a reminder system for nonessential work products. It helps remove some of the administrative tasks from our main input system and sets up something separate and easier to use for mundane tasks. We use it all together as an organization. We all have access to it.

Pros and Cons

Inputting entries - It is very straightforward to enter data.
Categories - Very easy to add categories.
Easy to maneuver data inside the app.

Notifications could be improved - Sometimes they are missed.
The homepage should be able to be custom.
Some more options for integration.

Return on Investment

It has given us extra time to handle the important parts of our job.
It has simplified reminders.
It has helped keep interoffice memos organized.

Alternatives Considered

Todoist and Any.do

Wunderlist has a much simpler layout than the other software we have tried. Others are too complex when reminders and note-taking should not be this complex. Their homepage layouts are even more convoluting and unnecessary. Simpler is normally better for something like this. We chose Wunderlist mainly for its ease of use.

Support Rating

We have never had to use the support function of Wunderlist. I guess that gives credence to its great functionality and ease of use. Nothing is involved in the software that we couldn't handle without escalating the matter to a support ticket. All the functionality is there and easy to understand for any level of user.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wunderlist is great for things such as scheduling simple tasks for the office like, for example, purchasing paper or buying supplies. Also, reminders for non-essential tasks such as calling back a vendor or things of that nature. It is less suited to work as a fully functioning calendar/reminder system for important aspects of your job duties.

Wunderlist is perfect for quick and easy reminders
