Compare Taskworld with other popular tools in the same category.
Ability to track who is work on what and at what stage/sub-task they're working on.
Can be a bit restrictive for some users
Working for a small company, the benefits of prioritizing some tasks over others is immensely helpful. Plus having all the necessary tasks that need to be done and in what order also allows us to transition from task to task much easier than trying to remember it all.
Easy to handel, extremly powerful and best app for Smartphones.
It could be a Little cheaper and some additional Features for the timeline would be also pretty nice.
Organization of several Teams on different Locations.
One of my favorite features of Taskworld is being able to set weekly, monthly and even annual recurring tasks. This helps me to "set it and forget it... until I need it." The benefit is important tasks don't fall through the cracks.
I don't like receiving reminders of upcoming tasks on Sundays. I wish I could set it to send me those reminders on Friday afternoon or Monday morning.
I just stepped in to a position where my predecessor had been there for 15 years. Being able to set up Taskworld for each project I manage has been key to starting off on the right foot.
The customer service seems to be there for us.
The way we submit ideas for evolution doesn't allow us to receive feedback about it: more generally we don't know what new features TW is working on and we discover new features in the product itself.
Organizing work between several people.
Great team functionality and ability to follow a task.
Bad universal search options. Cannot easily search for keywords in closed tasks, etc. Cannot easily search for uploaded documents by document name or keyword.
Great task management. Good team workflow. Better efficiency.
I love the ability have checklists within an item (just wish I could put deadline dates on those too!). It's very intuitive to use, and i appreciate the different organizational views. It helps my prioritize by deadline. The metrics associated also show the areas that I'm coming in behind on so that I know if I will need additional time on similar upcoming projects.
I wish i could put deadlines on to check list items. Almost all of my projects are made up of smaller projects made up of smaller tasks which i put into the checklist. I'm finding that not being able to put deadlines on those small tasks makes me more stressed when i realize none of them are complete when the deadline for the larger project comes up
I'm solving inefficiencies with my team and it serves as a reminder to myself to keep projects movings, and is a safe space to store commentary about status of projects.
The fact that TW is multilayered is the best part. Being able to chat one on one, within a project, and within a task is useful. It's flexible enough to allow each of our employees use it how they want.
There seems to be a lot of bugs, which I always try to report, and which are always followed up on, but it does get in the way time to time. The tech people who respond to these inquiries are great but the account management person assigned to us has been short with me on at least two occasions. Once was because I didn't inform her that we had added an additional employee t our account. Isn't it reasonable to assume that's her job and/or the app would charge us automatically?
We use the tool mainly for internal communication, and due dates. As the Director, it's useful for me to keep track of what everyone is working on.
I really like the flexibility and ability view and manage multiple boards in a single view. I also really liked the ability to add high res image previews into the cards, which helped us with a lot of our design/UX tasks. Finally, I LOVED the overall timeline view where I could see all tasks in one view along with due dates, who's responsible, etc.
It was sometimes a bit slow when I used it and I had some issues with the iOS app which was critical for me
Just get more organized for myself internally and also be able to delegate tasks to my team and keep everybody on the same page.
Flexible organizational options such as grouping projects in folders, referencing the same task in multiple projects, and using a master templates to create reproducible processes.
Sub-tasks can not be assigned, timelines are not print friendly, you currently cannot select more than one project to view as a timeline
Taskworld has helped to better manage projects with team-members in multiple locations. By creating master project templates (such as employee on-boarding) routine processes are executed more efficiently and with less error.
The simple, list task system is incredibly useful when arranging task on specific days
Occasionally there is downtime and we don't get notified before hand so can't start work without our task list
We have solved an otherwise unorganised and sporadic routine by arranging it in such a way everyone is organised without one person having to take responsibility of making the arrangements.
I like TW for international team project planning. Rather than Jira, which I’ve found too complicated for some instances, Taskworld is easy for all users to administrate and report their own progress.
Slightly primitive interface despite functional design.
Organization and monitoring progress on tasks that have anywhere from 1-15 different people involved.
Very good customer support. Usually reply in 24 hours - or less. Easy to use.
The mobile version has stopped working on my iPad and iPhone (which are "too old" that do not run iOS 10) so I have to use the web version. This is such a disappointment.
Organizing my daily schedule
It's an easy way of keeping track of all our cases in a busy litigation practice.
The UI is a bit clumsy/bulky in certain respects, but it never really frustrates me.
Keeping track of hundreds of ongoing court cases.
I love the clean and user-friendly interface. It was easy to train the team, literally just took a few minutes to explain them how things work. As an accounting team, we collaborate quite a bit on different projects and growth related goals and this tool helped keep everyone accountable and on task.
It can be a bit pricey, especially if you have a large team. I would recommend the free single user version 100%, but when it comes to teams make sure that you have workflows in mind to fully utilize its collaboration features. I was also surprised to find out that you can only have one workspace, especially since we bought everyone an account, so we had to use a little creativity to use the same workspace and splitting projects in different folders to manage what is personal and what is work related.
Again. as an accounting team, we collaborate quite a bit on different projects and growth related goals and this tool helped keep everyone accountable and on task. While we do use a different project management tool, even though it was built specifically for accounting - - the user interface was cluttered and projects can slip by easily. With taskworld, the managers are notified when projects are overdue or becoming due, and this was one of the features that made us consider Taskworld.
- The timeline view - The view of all team load in term of number of attributed task (missing the number of attributed points). - The view of all pending task. This is great to know what's late, what's coming up and more to ask people where the task is at some point. - The "points" attributed to a task - Definitely the tasklist is one of the best things - Notifications by email, on the interface or on the mobile app
- Points attributed to a task should add up for each user, allowing managers to see what's the current workload of their employee - Chat is a bit slow - Interface is a bit slow - Mobile app often can't connect to the platform - Can't give a project email for task creation to client since only users of the project can send mail to it - The notification email our employee receive when we attribute a task do not contain the description we included.
We had no previous view of the workload of our employee. This is why we chose taskworld. Right now it's a bit early to know if it changed a lot thanks to it but we are already more efficient in our work. We also are managing our employee holidays with this tool and the timeline view helps us to see if we have enough ressources on a specific day or period.
The best part of Taskworld, for a creative like me, is the ability to separate things by project and easily move them around. My brain doesn't work with spreadsheets and this is a simpler way for me to organize things by due dates and have the calendar, too.
I wish I could color code my Project Groups. This would make it easier to find stuff. Also, I wish each project had the Project Group that it falls under listed when I am looking at my dashboard. Sometimes I do not label them with the client that they are for and then I can't remember which PG they are for...
Due dates. Project management.
like the layout and tiled views easy to see
got stuck, and my system froze so had to recreat
managing projects across teams
TaskWorld makes it really easy to connect with my team members and make sure we are all on track.
TaskWorld does not communicate well when things go wrong. It was down for a whole week, and we lost critical time and money because of it, but there was no communication throughout the process. They also release updates with no warning.
TaskWorld is easy to use and it is very nice that there is a mobile app for our team members that are always on the go, out of the offie.
Team reactivity Usefulness of the tool Adaptable Regular tool Improvement
Time line to be developed. It is necessary to see full project time line and print it when driving à project. 2 crashes during the period, too many bugs along the way. I feel like a Guinée pig paying the test.
It is improving team coordination during the hotel opening. Reduced number of meeting.
The ability to share tasks with co-workers especially on shared projects
That you can't refresh the same tab each morning, you have to open a new one a visit the site again otherwise you won't get all of your notifications
our team works from home pretty often so this has helped keep us all on the sam page even when we are working from different locations at different times.
I like that we are able to combine many of the features of the best in breed chat and project management tools into one platform.
The software is clunky and definitely not as polished as some of the more well known brands. Data sync is not always reliable between the web app and the mobile app. They need to have a native desktop app. Using the browser all of the time is troublesome and push notifications don’t work well at all. Also, there are no audible notifications with the web app and calendar sync does not work. The support on the software from Taskworld has been less than spectacular. There are no super admin features so if someone posts something that needs to be deleted, there is no way without the original poster deleting it.
We have a remote team dispersersed throughout the world. We needed a chat platform similar to Slack and project management tools similar to Trello. We also needed the project management to aggregate tasking so that users could see their tasks across all of the projects. The core funtionality works for these purposes.
