Things vs Teamwork.com: Which is a better fit?

Danny D.: Hi, my name is Danny, director of Website Development. I would rate Things a 4 out of 5 stars, and if you want more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Things, I was using, gosh, probably every task manager you can imagine. The most recent one was Todoist that I tried before Things and I just felt it somewhat more restrictive compared to Things. The tagging system and all the categorization felt very hierarchical and very linear, whereas Things tends to be a little bit more flexible. We also chose Things for the organization because of the pricing structure. There's just a one-time fee per device as opposed to a monthly payment structure with Todoist. So that was something that drew our organization to Things. Getting started with Things was very simple once it was purchased. When you open it up, there's this nice onboarding that they give you to teach you. It's slightly different from some of the other task management programs, but that's what drew us to it, was the flexibility. So they had a good onboarding that popped up on the screen and walked you through it, and that was super helpful for the initial setup and trying to get to use a task manager that was slightly different from others that we had used in the past. For anyone thinking about switching to Things, I would say just do it. The pricing structure, the onboarding, just the flexibility. It also integrates with calendars so you can link your calendars into your to-do list, which is almost magical to have that integration. I feel like having them separate was a challenge for us in the past and Things helped us to give this bigger picture look into the to-do list, as opposed to having it separate from the calendar. So that was something that drew us to it.

Blake: Hi, I'm Blake. I work as a program manager. We have about 56 people that work for our company. And I would rate Teamwork at a three out of five. Prior to Teamwork, we chose to go with Trello. We had it for a while. And it was a great program, but it didn't really have as many features as we needed as we were experiencing growth. We chose Teamwork because of the robust amount of features that it had. It offered a lot of different views for projects, and the task management tools were really good for it. We really also enjoyed the reporting structure that came along with it, as well as the financial side of it when it comes to projects management. We also really enjoyed the fact that de-collaboration was easy for Teamwork. Getting started with Teamwork wasn't very difficult at times, but we did have an issue with massive amounts of people trying to [inaudible 00:00:52] at one time. It was a little confusing. It was a little bit bogged down. The program was very large, so it seemed over stifled. Teamwork was a little bit messy for us. It was a struggle for our onboarding team to work with them as their supports team was a really great. They didn't get back with us in time on a lot of things, so we missed out on a lot of opportunities with them. We also had issues with the bugs with the system. There were a lot of technical issues that came along with Teamwork. The Gantt chart, which is what we primarily use for our project management, was terrible when it came to bugs, and it unfortunately made our projects late and our tasks off queue. And the collaboration was good, but the collaboration was buggy, so it was also a little bit lax and lagging behind, which caused us to eventually decide to go against Teamwork and move towards ClickUp. Which we have actually been using now for over three years, and we really ClickUp. It is definitely a program that's customizable and it's also very neat to interface. I would definitely recommend not using Teamwork if you are planning on growing or if you're in the process of a lot growth. Teamwork is definitely made for enterprise clients.
