Taskworld

Pros

Intuitive-this system is very simple to learn and use.
Basic stream lined design, just like using a file cabinet.
Would definitely suggest this to those who need a system with JUST the basics - and don't want to be overwhelmed with a ridiculous learning curve.

Customer service is great and responsive and personable, which in this day and age is always a very big surprise and great selling point.

Totally inexpensive - for mid-range features.

Cons

What they have going for them - is also what they lack.
It is very intuitive, because it is very basic.
There's not much you can do with it other than make and organize lists, tasks, assign tasks, etc.
And if that is what you're looking for - this is probably the best choice.

If you are a project manager working with the "creatives," who are fantastic - but not always very organized - or if YOU struggle with being organized, this system deserves the free trial.

Bests Trello and many others - but it's NOT a pipeline for you SALES MANAGERS!
If you want a sales pipeline - you can strategically get creative with it - but it is not designed for it.

We've been using it for about a year, on and off, and are not 100% satisfied.
Perhaps a few more options and features would be nice - but the more you build in, the more time it takes to learn it.

So it's Pro is also it's Con.

Pros

This software really helps the whole project team to monitor all the tasks of each department given a target date.

Cons

There's no report module that can be found and downloaded in the system.

Pros

Ability to track multiple items across a range of roles and responsibilities.

Cons

Customer technical support has definitely dropped in standard since Taskworld started. Also there are now consistent and annoying issues with bugs and very slow loading times, that didn't used to exist. Support's rote response seems to be "use Google Chrome" when there are problems which seems disingenuous to me. In one scenario, we had to wait nearly six months for a simple bug to be fixed that severely impacted our ability to use the product.

Pros

Taskworld is incredible for following different ventures in various groups while giving an easy to utilize interface and lessening mess, a brilliant apparatus to put your errands and furthermore assignments for the group. Further, you'll likewise screen the status of each assignment/sub-task. For me, Taskworld might be an ideal mix of the easy to understand interface/instinctive structure/fast access and loads of accommodating highlights, which make it conceivable to move complex procedures of a venture inside the envisioned and currently undertaking the board world.

Cons

One thing which I may worship to be incorporated is for the framework to offer choices for arranging errands by Start Date/development. I feel that may truly be valuable.

Pros

Its a great tool to manage our teams and to increase their productivity. We really liked the new design and their feature list. With Taskworld we can now manage our teams, create performance sheets, message a member instantly and so more. Its a great product with a rich set of features. Taskworld helps us to get good feedback's from our clients as we can effectively manage our projects.

Cons

The only problem is with the pricing, its a bit high and the initial loading is a bit time consuming. Once fully loaded Taskworld will work smoothly.

Pros

It is very simple to learn and use. You can create tasks for multiple projects and always have a tab on to see their progress. We have been using this at work for quite sometime. The best part you can send DM to the person a task is assigned to, giving feedback on it. Unlike other softwares this doesn't have too many tools that we really do not use anyway, and it has the features of emailing related to a project and a clock to check the time for it. It is also very cheap.

Cons

There are no special review section for subtasks once you check off the main tasks. I think there could be a better alternative.

Pros

Simple team task management with duration-based tasks, trello boards and chat
Nice interface
Excellent customer service. They implemented a minor interface change quickly when I raised it as an issue.
Great value

Cons

No linking between tasks.
Minor niggle - when backing out of projects within project groups it takes me back to the All Projects view instead of back to the Project Group

Pros

Kanban style. App + Web. Trello friendly.

Pros

I recently tried taskworld the free trial, it helped me to organize,manage my art by sales,and price so I could keep up with everything that has sold,or is being sold.the video tutorial explained the process.it will be a great benefit for my future projects

Cons

the spreadsheets were a little complicated,but i can learn to adapt to it's format.

Pros

Taskworld is a great tool to evaluate your employee's performances and ongoing projects. It has enabled you to use it from your laptop and mobile phone. Great coordination with google makes you update and on track. No chance to miss your future and upcoming tasks if you assign them correctly. The communication feature greatly helps to keep team members on the right path. It is very handy and easy to use for beginners.

Cons

I do not have any issues with Taskworld. So far this has been providing great performance.

Pros

Trello like with chat and project oriented features
Multi level chat : individual, task, project, group and everyone levels

Cons

No reporting for multiple projects (aggregation).
No project reporting facilities

Alternatives Considered

Pros

The interface. All information are grouped in one place. It's organize and detailed. I also love the chat feature where you can directly message a member of the team. And a direct feedback to the employee for his/her accomplishments in the project assigned to him/her.

Cons

Would love to have more options for restriction of access rights especially when user must not be able to edit it's spent time (right now, it can be edited and done manually even the access rights is restricted). I hope to see also an automated workflows in order for the employee to work more efficient and productive. I also love to see if there are KPI reports and summary reports as per performance and more valuable reports to come in order to help a business review its employees performances. Also, I hope you would consider to add time tracking and time estimation not only the time spent so we could be able to analyze the performance of each employee who do the tasks. And hope to see more app integrations.

Pros

It's cheap. I'm actually saving money now because I used two software before for the same tasks.
It's fast and easy to use, stripped away from some annoying unnecessary features present in most of the other software in the market.

Cons

I think that the strengths of the software are also its main weaknesses, Taskworld works wonders for small teams and if you want to use it right away without having to scratch your head for hours to figure out how to make it work. But if you want to scale up and have much larger teams using it, you might want to look at other more advanced options.

Pros

Check boxes
Assigning
Due dates

Cons

The fact that when a project is completed you can't check off the entire project, you have to delete or unstar which I think is not helpful. The fact that the chat doesn't have its own notifications, or any notifications at all. It would be so helpful to have desktop notifications for the tasks (overdue, completed, assignes, etc.).

Pros

Task asignment
Dashboards
Cards system easy to use

Cons

None directly to the system, I think main cons are related to a Kanban system vs. Layer firm, which may not be 100% compatible ;)

Pros

easy to use

Cons

sometimes there are glitches like I can't always do direct mentions

Pros

Multiple workspaces help me keep my work for different clients sorted. Ability to duplicate a task to multiple projects with the click of a button!! EASILY move projects and tasks around between workspaces and projects. TIME TRACKER on a task!!! Thank you. Built in timeline and analytics. EASILY add links and files to a project or task. Create tasks by email is slick and easy. Join or follow other projects and track conversations in each task. Tech support is onitdoggone it. They get right back to you after you contact them. Affordable! I'm a one woman shop and this software gives me all the bang for my buck that I need.

Pros

Very easy to use, just wish there were a few batch update features for projects that share the same types of tasks.

Cons

Also would like to have people outside of the organization be able to email the system to create tasks, as that would be beneficial for tracking of tasks that need to be performed!

Pros

The simple, intuitive flow of information it allows while still being able to handle complex projects.

Cons

A couple tweaks here and there, nothing major.

I'd like the ability to create dependencies in the Gantt view. I'd also like to change, or at least have the ability to change, Direct tasks to My Tasks and allow tasks within other projects to also land there whenever they're assigned to me.

Pros

I tried a lot of task/projectmanagement tools/websites and TaskWorld is the first affordable manager that i great for me. I use TaskWorld for my classroom as a teacher, to keep track of my students, work and lessons. So i'm a single usser. Most projectmanagers are to expensive for a single usser, but not Task World. Great overview over my projects, great tasklist and iphone app.

Cons

I would like to see the option to make a task more important then another task. That's the only thing i can think of for now.

Pros

I like the flexibility. It allows you to make lists any way that you want and I like the due date feature.

Cons

There a few things that I would like to see added to this software:
1) Reminders of due dates, I would like to be able to set a reminder whenever you need it.
2) In the Overview section I would like to see Tasks with Start Dates appear in the appropriate day.
3) For overall projects, I would like to be able to set Task due dates automatically. For example, if a task is due 9/1/17 but that task is dependent on another task to happen 2 weeks prior, it would be ideal to auto-populate the due date for the previous task.
4) In the To-Do lists, I would like to be able to set due dates for each line item.

Pros

Very helpful in organise the work pipeline.

Many function on grouping the work pipeline. (could be helpful in additional, if you can provide more idea on group pipeline (e.g. group by Team, group by business type)

I really like on the project which i can share and assign for the admin or follower of the project. So, this can be assure that everyone will be in the same page ! Really like this !

Many thanks !

Pros

Intuitive usage and Detailed task option.
All funtion is so easy, especially for user of trello. and I like detailed task option like tag. and also, burnup chart is good for project management

Cons

interface of cheklist funtion.

After previous input(pressing enter) I must be scroll and click again When I want to input cheklist continuously. I think cheklist funtion will be able to only keyboard contol when the situation of continuously input

Pros

-I love the visibility/oversight that TW gives you'we currently have about 50 'public' projects in TW, and management can quickly hop around and get an instant snapshot of how each project is progressing.
-I love how it's a one-stop shop of information/communication. It's got conversation channels, tasks, personal to-do lists, time tracking, analytics, scheduling... we were able to consolidate 4 or 5 different platforms into just the one.
-It's intuitive. Training roughly 40 new users on it at once was fairly straightforward, as the steps required in using TW are pretty clear. The basic functionality is easy to pick up on, leaving most of the training energy focused on hammering down specific protocols for how WE will use TW, and showing exciting, fun TaskWorld abilities and tidbits.
-While the labels and points systems may be helpful for many, I really like the tags. The bold colors and easy-to-search tag titles provide important information on any task without having to even open it up.
-The overview'oh my goodness! You can search almost any conceivable permutation of filters, quickly narrowing down to the pertinent info you're seeking.
-I love how tasks can live in multiple projects'so a task can appear in its designated slot within a public project, but can also exist in my own personal Weekly To-Do project. No duplication of effort!
-They seem really open to user suggestions'our rep has been quite responsive to my questions and requests.

Cons

-It needs to better integrate googledocs (a feature I've been told they're currently working on). Right now private company GoogleDocs don't display titles, and so are impossible to search within the project.
-Overall, it could have more comprehensive search ability (particularly in chats and comments). I love how I can search Workspace-wide OR just within one project, but I'd like to be able to type in a keyword that might only appear in a chat window or a comments section and have it found for me.
-If you're involved in multiple projects within a workspace, the notifications can get overwhelming. It'd be nice if 'mark as unread' was an option, so that I could use that notification section as a reminder. It's also a bit annoying that you get multiple notifications back-to-back that are dealing with the same task (A notification when it's been assigned, when a due date has been assigned, if someone has commented on it, if they moved its location, etc... all on top of one another).
-TaskWorld could potentially have more customization options (Adding pictures to projects or group chat channels, etc. Though they did just allow for customized backgrounds, and it sounds like they're working on adding more tag and label colors).

Pros

Simple UI, unified all task for projects

Cons

System gets frozen and have to start all

Reasons for Choosing Taskworld

Switched From

Pros

This is a pretty easy tool to navigate around. The drag-n-drop feature is very helpful. Your tool is not cluttered with a bunch of 'bells and whistles' that we'd never use.

Cons

I wish there was a feature to set the Admin of a project at the top-level; having to add admins manually to every single one is time-consuming. There seems to be some really bad issues with the screen not refreshing (I guess that's what it is). Many times I will be in a screen and parts of the screen will disappear. I had a coworker the other day unable to assign a Due Date to a Task - he would click on the date and the calendar would 'flicker' making it impossible to assign a due date - making it literally impossible to set a due date on any task he created. I've seen similar things in timeline as well. Not sure what's causing it. I wish I could have the ability to sort tasks by Due Date by hitting a simple Sort button. I know I can do this through 'dragging-and-dropping' but when you have 20+ tasks in a Project, it makes it a little time-consuming; I would like to have the same feature available in the Workspace as well. I would like the ability to customize my own Status options. Lastly, the User Guide really isn't too helpful. The videos are a nice touch, but it would be nice to have a list of Descriptions and Definitions of what things are and what they can do (i.e. what the difference between a Project Admin and Project Member? What abilities do each of them have?, etc)

Pros

user interface
openminded and friendly support and account managers
prepared for complex customers like insurance enterprise

Cons

making deadline commitments with the developer team :)
as a german company we love to have deadlines and work towards them; it took a while to commit the developer team to some concrete due dates; but we solved everything very professional and friendly;

Pros

ease of organizing and keeping track of projects and team activities.

Cons

Error forgiveness. If you accidentally erase and delete something it is hard to get it back.

Pros

The fact that you can build your OWN workflow as you want it and as better works for you is such a great feature. They got me with that one!
You will also have a specific an personal report to understand your performance as and individual and as a team member. Communication is also easy and to the point, no distractions in the way.

Cons

Be clear that Taskworld is not a pipeline for your sales force.
Some say it is too basic, but I don't see it as a con, but as a strength. Less is more. Think about it.

Pros

It automatically sets up Gantt charts for you based on project timelines. It scales up well for really large teams. You can follow certain projects / tasks to view their progress. There is also a dashboard for each person to see his or her progress and velocity are completing assigned tasks.

Cons

It's not intuitive to use and people often get confused about how to link projects and tasks. Because of the multitude of features, there is quite a steep learning curve and people end up not using it as frequently as we had hoped.

Pros

This is an easy to implement and use software that helps simplify project management with intuitive features and design. One amazing feature is the Automated Project Management tools that allows you to automate and streamline some of the processing, saving time, money, and frees up your attention to more important tasks.

Cons

Takes some time to figure out and setup the automation to get it working the best way for you.

Pros

My first project management system was Trello because of a recommendation from our VP of Technology. However, at the time, Trello really fell short with its ability to send me proactive alerts and deadline notifications. Taskworld is a real blessing! Not only does Taskworld have flexible deadline options, I can also subscribe to my Taskworld calendar using my company's email system. If that wasn't enough, I get a daily "Morning Digest" that shows me the tasks that are overdue, or due today.

The overview and timeline view really give me the big picture so I can track all my department's projects and tasks in one place.

The team at Taskworld is extremely responsive and open to new ideas.

I have nothing but good things to say about Taskworld. In fact, I now can't imagine managing my schedule without it!

Pros

I like feeling accomplished. I get excited when I feel like I'm being productive by taking on various tasks at the same time. The application has helped me organize my thoughts so far, and I'm even more excited to keep using it.

Note taking is simple
Creating tasks is very clean and neat
Connecting with other people is exceptionally smooth
Uploading files is fast
The product is clean and fun
The task bar on the left is simple, but allows you to take on various work items

Cons

The automated emails when I'm tagged in a project tend to be hard to understand. They contain large amounts of jargon that don't make sense at first glance. Once I slow down and re-read it a few times, I get the message. I feel this could be much simpler though.

Pros

The web version is superb has many useful and well designed features, the ability to have the same task in multiple task lists/ projects is simply brilliant. The software is almost the "perfect" productivity tool but there are just a couple of things letting it down (see cons)

Cons

- Lack of functional dashboard instead of just a screen full of your different projects, it needs a choice of widgets to let the user decide the information they want an overview of
- There is no calendar function which, given the myriad of features offered, is surprising, a calendar would really add to this particular tool.
- The android app is horrendous, it is so slow. It also does not provide widgets, an offline mode or instant exit feature ( takes 7 or 8 attempts to close the programme)

Pros

As per the title of my review, TaskWorld is super user-friendly.
Easy to setup tasks
Project Groups are great
All projects are easy to identify and in one place
Notifications can be as much or as little as you want
Customer service is eager and responds quickly

Cons

You can assign multiple people the same task at the same time, so who checks it off?
Subtasks (checklists) do not show up in your to dos
If you check off the main task, all subtasks (checklists) are considered complete as well
No status of a project, besides general terms.
The overview shows graphs and charts that are useless and cannot default a view without them
Not multi-leveled
No template options
Very few useful integration options
Application updates are minor and not all that useful

Pros

The fact that is very easy to learn and use, very intuitive, which helps all team to learn quickly and start working, no need for long teaching sessions.

Also, it has everything a business needs, task priority, projects, and the option to use a clock that checks time for tasks in projects, and the option to send emails to projects or tasks. Very useful.

I wanted to switch to something less expensive, however, I haven't found something that gives me all this task management software has to offer

Cons

There isn't the option to purchase a licence for every team member, there are a number of fix licenses numbers, meaning that if I have 4 team members I need to pay 5 licenses, I hope that changes in the future. Other than that, Super software!

Pros

The software was very easy to use, so training the team and motivating them to adopt the software was an easy task. It's clean interface was welcomed in a sea of software that are bloated with features we were not looking for.

Cons

Price was a little high compared to competitors. specifically Asana. We decided to still go with Taskworld due to its simple interface, which was important in getting the whole team to use the software.

Pros

Being able to filter tasks to get overviews or drill down, set assignments effectively, add followers, files and checklists - this has all helped streamline our processes tremendously. It's the first thing I check at start and end of day now. We are an affiliated team of around 20 people with cross-disciplinary tasks so this helps us work together much more efficiently than email.

Cons

The search function does not always return what I want in the overview, even when using unique keywords - usually have to narrow it down to one project which is not effective sometimes I can't remember which project, hence the search!)

Pros

1. Intuitive, convenient UI and UX than others.
2. Managing each person's business schedule for managing tasks
3. Time-related Timeline feature
4. Upload large file sizes
5. Excellent Korean Support

My favorite Taskworld feature is time record. This feature allows me to find the amount of average time when create content. And I can plan the expected time for the next task.

Cons

1. Please note that the checklist item will also allow you to specify the start date and finish date.
2. I wish could customize color to the board.
3. There are frequent errors. Recently there was a mistake in connection with the error. And sometimes, it slows down, causing inconvenience to the user.

Pros

I like being able to arrange tasks by category within each Project. Good UI. I like being able to integrate my tasks with Google calendar.

Cons

I wish there was a way to nest even more tasks inside each task instead of just having a checklist. It is also annoying that I can't press "enter" in the description for a return.

I have also been emailing support for MONTHS about using my Google account to log in on the mobile app and they give me the same advice that does not apply and say they'll escalate it. Around and around in circles. I pay monthly for this software because it is the best I could find besides Wrike. (And Wrike requires 5 users). I think I'm going to have to pay for the extra users to get the functionality I need in Wrike since this company can't get their support team together.

The Dashboard on it is okay, but I really need to be able to create a widget to see the tasks in each tag.

Pros

The ability to track progress and assign tasks to team members. I also love that we can time our progress on projects. I love that we can all have eyes on every project too!

Cons

I would love if it integrated my Gmail so it would be an all-in-one type of platform. I also wish I could add my own pic for the background image.

Pros

Feature upgrades all the time

Cons

Mobile app occasionally not working.

Pros

I love being able to drag and drop things between people. It's so much better than having to field multiple emails as drafts go back and forth. I love having comments all in one place, as well as the ability to assign due dates and people to particular tasks. It's also a ton of fun to have GIFs bult in to the chat :)

Cons

I find ocassionally that the chat function is a bit slow, as is opening tasks and sometimes there's a little lag when trying to drag pieces around.

Pros

* Feature full
* Board system
* Has excellent web app

Cons

Sometime it's sluggish on Mac. iOS version also needs improvements.

Pros

Boxes are very intuitive. Tasks are quite easy to add. Adding followers and tags is a great tool to follow up.

Cons

Gantt chart could be improved showing inter-dependencies between tasks. A more intuitive way to add sub tasks. And email notification feature is a bit confusing.

Pros

I like that it's a non-glitchy version of Asana/Trello/Slack all in one. The analytics are a unique feature that I like very much.

Cons

The license model (packs of 5) make it very unfriendly for small businesses. There are many features that make it difficult to use that seem like oversights.

Pros

Clear structure and tasks management and distribution. Task can be easily assigned to the appropriate colleagues. New colleagues can be added without any effort. Also attachments, screenshots and much more can be added to the respective tasks

Cons

A complete task management with prioritization would still be nice. Also a SMS push notification would be a nice function. At the beginning, the han ding is not quite clear. You have to learn something about laso.
