Pros

I liked that I could keep track of the hours spent on a project, even though they were charged by flat rates. It helped adjust those flat rates based on the author's work. It was also very helpful for filing taxes for deductions. As the EIC, I was able to see where my editors and proofers were in the process instead of bothering them with emails.

Cons

When we first started using the program, the options we needed were free, and as a start-up, that was amazing. As time went on, the company removed more and more of those options to a cost tier. Since we focused on flat rates, and it was incredible to be able to use those options, it was no longer an option now that I have to cover so many other payment/payroll fees.

Pros

MeisterTask is a very powerful tool, and also one that is pretty easy to use once you start working with it. It makes managing projects and tasks very easy, and having team members all connect on various projects makes the entire management process a very effective one.

Cons

There weren't many cons at all with it. At first the interface can look a little intimidating, but once you get started, you'll soon realise that it's pretty straight forward to use.

Reasons for Switching to MeisterTask

Pros

Ease of use ..Fast Deployment Multi-platform support.

Cons

- Timeline: Horrible!- Colors and UI theme: outdated.- Reporting is very limited !! Should be highly customization -> Benfecial for reviews and team meetings .. as for customer-facing meetings and status updates.- The mobile view could be better. How do you mark it a success? If a user can use the mobile version independently - with no desktop or web - then this is a success.- Consolidated project view: missing. The agenda view is useless.- Drag and drop tasks among projects- Multi-task selection is not smooth- Time reminders are not fluid or practical enough- Automation needs many and many improvements --> Need to link a header with dates. Then if a task is created in this kanban, it immediately inherits this date .. Mapping a kanban to a calendar day (Sunday, Monday, .. etc) is gonna be very useful. We need to talk to explain this to you guys ..

Pros

My hands-down, favorite part of this entire app is all of the automation tools. It gives you to help streamline your process and illuminate repetitive tasks.

Cons

A better way to manage all of my tasks from multiple projects on a single dashboard. The agenda option that they give us and the pinning are a good start, but I’d like a little more flexibility and automation built into the agenda dashboard.

Reasons for Switching to MeisterTask

Pros

As a copywriter, I'm constantly juggling multiple projects for multiple clients. MeisterTask makes it easy to see where I am in the process and each task card easily holds all the links, files, etc. that I need to complete the project. No more constant back-and-forth between Google Drive, email, etc. I'm saving SO much time seeing everything in one place!

Cons

Resetting reoccuring tasks at the start of each week seems a little cumbersome, but maybe I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Pros

MeisterTask is an outstanding application for managing one's time and ensuring one's productivity. The layout is simple to understand and fun to interact with. To help users stay on top of their work, their teams, and their projects, it is equipped with robust capabilities.

Cons

MeisterTask's limited functionality and lack of customization possibilities in the base subscription is a drawback. The mobile app also misses some of the more advanced capabilities seen on the website.

Pros

For me, MeisterTask has been an incredibly convenient tool to keep track of project progress, particularly when multiple people are involved. It provides a seamless way to check and observe the daily advancements. One of the aspects I appreciate the most is the ability to easily add steps and mark them as completed towards the overall task accomplishment. It's such a satisfying feeling to see the checklist grow as we make progress.What makes it even better is the collaborative nature of the platform. All participants have the opportunity to contribute and make changes as needed. It fosters a sense of teamwork and ensures that everyone's ideas and inputs are taken into account. The flexibility it offers with different columns allows us to prioritize tasks based on deadlines or individual preferences, making it a personalized and efficient experience.

Cons

To be honest, there isn't much about MeisterTask that I'm dissatisfied with. I mean, if I had to nitpick, I would say that I'd love the option to change the background of my dashboard. However, I really can't complain about it overall.

Pros

I love the ease of use of MeisterTask. And because I'm a very visual project manager, I find the ability to add images, backgrounds, tags and labels in a more intuitive way than other project management tools.

Cons

Would be great to also have table/list views, but I believe that's coming.

Pros

It's easy to use and user-friendly software that offers versatile task management capabilities, task automation and third-party integration tools to fulfill our project management needs.

Cons

The software is clean without any disadvantages and also we did not face any issue with the tool till now.

Pros

I got this to help manage multitasking. My school has grown from an oversized homeschool to a small/medium sized school of more than 400 staff and students. MeisterTask has helped my team stay on top of things.

Cons

I am using Meistertask, but probably nowhere near its potential. So I can't really point to anything yet.

Pros

MeisterTask interface is an incredibly smooth and satisfying experience. It's easy to assign tasks to team members, and the effective task management tools make even the most complex projects feel manageable. With MeisterTask, managing complex projects has never been easier. The interface is fluid and fulfilling, and assigning tasks to team members is a breeze, allowing for effective task management throughout the entire project.

Cons

If I'm being honest, the notification feature isn't very effective.

Pros

I am more thankful every day that we implemented MeisterTask into our non profit's suite of tools. I don't know how we would be managing our current workload without it!

Cons

Archived tasks need to be searchable and text selectable on the mobile app. The capability exists with the desktop web app but needs to be applied to the mobile app.Over 50 tasks can not be listed on the mobile app without resorting .. this is problematic.

Pros

The ease of use is the most efficient feature.

Cons

There are not any features missing or that need to be improved.

Pros

Easy to handle and has every feature that you need.

Cons

Would like to have a better time display in the different project.

Pros

The interface is easy to use and navigate, making the task of managing projects simpler. It can be integrated with other tools, offers real-time collaboration features, offers good prices, even for large teams.

Cons

The tool is limited with some features, where competitors offer free. You need to watch tutorials and need time to master everything in this software. The integration with other software is pretty average.

Pros

Ease of moving tasks down the pipeline makes keeping track of project on track for finsh.

Cons

Not sure I have anything to dislike...

Pros

The easy way in which we have been able to manage all the activities thanks to MeisterTask has left us truly impressed. I liked MeisterTask because it allowed me to know the status of all the activities in real-time, it provided me with a board view and a column type view, and it both views I felt comfortable, I was able to view the tasks in progress, shceduled tasks and the completed tasks, thanks to the main panel, I was able to know the status of each activity in real-time. In addition, MeisterTask allowed me to use a collaborative service, where employees could meet, communicate, share worko material and complete a task as a team. In addition, MeisterTask allowed us to sed time limits for each task, send us alerts when a task had not been completed, assign tasks for specific dates and much more, it is a very complete platform.

Cons

The problem that I found in MeisterTask is that there is no function that allows making backup copies for all the information that is handled in this platform, this means that if an employee has deleted an activity note by mistake, we will not be able to recover it, in addition, if due to a system error, what the employees have spoken when working as a team is deleted, this information cannot be recovered. The general MeisterTask system works very well, but they need to implement a function to retrieve or save relevant information.

Pros

I've tried a lot of task and project management tools over the lifetime of my business. None compare to MeisterTask in terms of ease of use and value for money. Not to mention it's by far the prettiest and most colorful of all the tools I've used in the past. It actually makes it a pleasure to jump in there to work every single day.

Cons

So far I haven't found any issues with this software app. It's so very easy to use.

Pros

It’s easy and effective. This is a program I have been looking for for a while, when I found it it blew my mind on how easy it was to use.

Cons

None that I see as of yet. It seems to give me everything that I’ve been looking for in the last year, it works great.

Pros

It is easy to learn how to use Meister.

Cons

Customized fields to build the parameters for tasks are limited
