What do you like best about MeisterTask?

I like that it lets you customize your dashboard on the site and see your progress right from the main screen before you go into the project directly. I have convinced other people to use meistertask just by working with them and showing them how easily I could track the projects I was working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

The price is a little bit higher than I like sometimes but its affordable for what it provides. I have noticed a couple of times that if someone moved a task from a project I did have access to, to one I did not, it would show a weird error message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

From the makers of MindMeister, you cannot go wrong because it works with anything I have tried to throw at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am working as a consultant and tech for multiple companies that use meistertask. I also use it myself and it has allowed me to connect up projects to give me an overview to make sure I focus on the right tasks at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

I am using MeisterTask for over three years (Professional licence). App is nice looking, minimalistic, without any fancy features. Working with Zapier solves some of its limitations. I like the way notifications and alerts work. The workflow they present is easy to follow and requires almost no effort to see all of the “action triggers”. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

It has a lot of bugs, e.g. the comments did not save on the mobile app, desktop app was as slow as living Internet Explorer meme - still annoying but minor issues.

Since May 2020 - at some point the companies switch from user & money friendly to money only friendly. This is what happened to MeisterTask.

They changed the licence for any new user and limited them to participate with more than 3 projects. Otherwise you need to pay over €8/user/month. There is no "small team" licence for €2-4 like Freedcamp Basic or Google Suite.

Ridiculus. And now we are looking for something to migrate to. Maybe Freedcamp or maybe back to Trello. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

If you are a small company avoid it. It will make you regret at some point and you will need to face a painful migration or pay overpriced bills every month.

If you are a big one - this app is just to simple and not predictable enough as a business partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped to monitor the workflow. Using its built-in alerts helped to save the time because you don't need to navigate manually for the most urgent issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

A lot of integration with many services. One cool this I really like is that you can create tasks via email which is very useful for bug reports (if you are a developer)

Tags are really useful.

It's easy to manage projects and interact with non technical persons though MeisterTask.

Definitely the best value for money software for project management for my use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

Sometimes it's buggy. Not always receiving push notifications on Android device.

It's not easy to track latest activities on a project.

User interface glitches (eg. while submitting comments and seeing a task update)

Time tracking option can be improved. It doesn't offer a good overview on work. I am using another software for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

Just give it a try for your next small project. The free version will be enough to help you achieve your results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

I managed a small team connecting developers with designer, sales man and clients.

Managed to organize the workflow in all projects for last 2 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

MeisterTask is an online tool for task management with desktop version, that is a shell app actually. Tasks are easy to add, track, move in kanban. Time tracking is easy and statistics about it are also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

When using a desktop version and you want to access Statistics or Preferences you are transferred to the browser which is annoying. Otherwise no major dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

I am using MeisterTask myself and inside my small team but I can see the benefits of using it on a larger scale especially in project management and kanban. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly tracking my work and spent time on specific tasks and projects. Especially now with Covid-19 and working from home is important to have a tool to track what are you doing, how long it takes to finish a task, to be able to coordinate tasks with your team and to be able to create reports easily.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

The possibility to adjust each and every category of the project under the project. I will be able to add columns to each category, and if you need a "creative" column, I can add it, give you color codes, etc. This way you can make MasterTask do what you want and work the way you like. The free features suit your basic requirements, but Pro functions are also a good addition to premium staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

It will be nice to be allowed to organize tasks by date. This feature is not currently accessible, although it is not difficult to organize. If it would be included, I say it has very little criticism of the main task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

Try the program as a free user, see if it corresponds to your needs and update it for more features later! to a professional version. The free software seems to meet most of your needs. Customize each project to your individual needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since cooperating with MeisterTask, we have developed more flexible communication. In some of the projects at MeisterTask, the volume of e-mail exchange has dropped almost to zero. Now we can monitor the current status of each individual project and know who is responsible for what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

My favourite features:

How easy it is to create tasks and move them between project sections/phases

Task time tracking

Calendar sync (iCal) 👍🏻

Task assignment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

I would like to be able to edit tasks straight from a calendar view. It is tedious to update tasks in MeisterTask and then having to sync my calendar all the time. Also, being able to give a time slot for tasks other than the default 30 minutes. A lot of tasks take much longer than 30 minutes... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

Great UI & UX!

Automations available. I have not yet used them however, this is a great feature.

Makes it easy to track what needs to be done in the short term and longer term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping organized and on top of things, mostly. I like having a central space where I can have all of my to-do lists, both professional and personal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

For my business, which blends different organizational, community and profession consulting and individual training and coaching services, I like the flexibility of being able to select the different structures and use them as templates for our different services. For some, I use the first column to articulate objectives, requirements or client intel. on others, we get right to the task assignments.

I love being able to include outside parties (advisors, consultants, clients, community) for transparency and being able to assign responsibilities to them and for them to hold our firm accountable. Collaboration is essential to our business model and social philosophy.

The feature set is robust and flexible. It is a very adaptable product. Customize-able landing page and color choices make the program a friendly spot to work.

Just found a snag and had to contact customer service. I was pretty mad, but it was handled quickly, competently and provided the clarity I needed regarding the security of the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

Lack of collaborator compliance. My subcontractors and clients don't use it as effectively as I wish they would (but they aren't employees, so it's only a suggestion). But I love the detail. I think it is more time constraint than dislike on their parts. Complex projects get more of their attention. So while it supports collaboration, if people don't routinely use the product it won't serve collaborations.

There is a learning curve. It takes some time to set up all the different types of projects we have in the system. someone with more routine flows will find this extremely helpful.

The Android app has been less functional, so I stopped using it, despite promised improvements to recent updates. I haven't yet circled back to see how it functions over the past 6 months since being at home makes the web app more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

Watch customer service like a hawk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

when I use it consistently it helps me avoid dropping the ball on certain projects, although if i were doing kanban i wouldn't overload my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

The projects can be shared or private in different ways and for different purposes without limits of work in progress and extremely is that many times the tasks are returned I find it overwhelming maintaining the work aspect a very linear logic and little active making really short compared to other software after loading a file in a task can not be downloaded immediately is not really optimized as it must process very slow the file even being a free tool seems great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

Meisterstak is a software designed to meet the needs of agile project teams as it adapts to all types of workflows such as simple kanban boards, software sprints and more. It is an intuitive tool with an excellent price and with integrations with Slack, GitHud and Zendesk this has allowed us to create a workflow without interruptions, while the intelligent automations guarantee a consistent and efficient work the chronological Gantt views are excellent and the truth is very easy to adapt to the methodology of this software if you know how to search the functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

Meisterstak presents some notable weaknesses that should perhaps be improved with a new update among it I can mention that some functions are difficult to find and are weakened by default, without limits of work in progress or lanes the interface can see loaded and messy this makes the certain measure the learning curve of a little high and hinders the adoption of the application by users finally I would like them to add a visually appealing calendar when the task is completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

I would recommend it to any organization that wants to control and improve its workflow because it is perfect for starting projects correctly without forgetting pending tasks and making deadlines in the case of sales can be extremely useful to track a project from start to finish, perfect for those who value a good interface design and with many integrated features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently my entire organization uses Meisterstak as a project management software because it helps us to keep everyone responsible for their tasks and track deadlines this software is very useful to collect workflows based on everything that must be done during the day, week, month and even throughout the year everything that this software collects can be managed in a single board depending on the task where it can be managed in a safe and organized.

What do you like best about MeisterTask?

Kanban-style task management is great. As my day-to-day priorities change and shift, so can my tasks. I have always loved writing down tasks and checking them off, but utilizing Meistertask is a much more productive use of my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MeisterTask?

My only request is that I'd love to be able to set recurring tasks, similar to Wunderlist. When I complete the task, I check it off, and it gets shifted to another list or due date. You can also title each section whatever you'd like. I'd like it to be more intuitive. I typically title them by date or priority. I'm sure other people do the same, so it would be cool if it could recognize some often used titles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MeisterTask:

It's super easy and super valuable. There are enough apps and programs out there that we use that try to be everything or are overly complicated. Get what you need, and get it done with MeisterTask! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MeisterTask solving and how is that benefiting you?

I save a lot more time by utilizing MeisterTask rather than hardcopy checklists. It also helps to avoid allowing things to slip through the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
