Things vs SuiteDash: 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.

David P.: Hi, I'm David, owner and founder at 3LQ by Prodigy Tutors. SuiteDash, I would say a five. The other product I had was actually a homegrown solution. I'm a developer by trade, so I think that I'm smart. So I got together some Excel and some Apps Script, and I thought I was creating myself a decent CRM until I realized what all that entailed and all of the nuances that go along with tracking leads and the follow-up email marketing. So yeah, I had to admit that my solution wasn't worth too much and look for another solution. I chose SuiteDash because of all of the functionality that they have, and it's functionality comparable to the bigger names. It's like the enterprise apps, but it was really expensive. And listen, I am a solopreneur or whatever coin phrase we're using these days, and there is no extra money in the budget. So every dollar's accounted for, and SuiteDash was definitely a lot of bang for my buck, and ultimately that's why I chose it. Luckily, I'm a startup, so there were no real clients. There was no real business. So, I kind of integrated the business around SuiteDash. All of my test cases were built in SuiteDash. The customers weren't going in. They were new. So didn't have too much of an implementation. What I did have was a learning curve, a learning curve about actually, I think, the proper way to actually do marketing, the proper way for email marketing, the proper way to go through a sales pipeline because, before that, I didn't know what I didn't know. So, SuiteDash has opened up a world of, I guess, a world of knowledge, which ultimately leads to opportunity. I would tell them that if they offer any sort of learning, any tutoring or classes, don't buy another solution. I purchased my learning management solution prior to purchasing SuiteDash only to realize that SuiteDash has one built in that is pretty decent. I could have definitely saved myself a few bucks had I shopped around a little bit before I made some purchases.
