I enjoyed the pricing model and the scalability of the system. It has a friendly, straight-forward user experience that makes it perfect for bringing a diverse team into it.
The registration process was a little bit confusing, because mind master comes with it and I was irritated for a second, cuz i didn't wanted the mind mapping tool.
I love the intereface - it's really beautiful to use, very intuitive and I love how you can customise the backgrounds.
Its report and analytics are limited so its kinda frustrating sometimes, and also you can't access it offline.
Easy to use, very simple and powerful, with many costumizations, always with good quotes that insipires me everyday, I like that.
I find Trello easier to use, while MeisterTask has unnecessary negative space, making it difficult for me to view all of my tasks as a whole.
With MeisterTask all the implementation lasted one day and all the employees are very happy and proactive with it. Many thanks MeisterTask.
My biggest worry is updating comments in the web version.
It's simply amazing how easy it makes it to keep track of everything and also to invite other people involved in the project, like my editor. I also love that they have a desktop app for Mac.
Occasionally I have experienced problems loading my files. Suddenly my files disappear and I have to reload the page to see them again.
Ora has definitely boosted our productivity: being able to "portray" all our ideas and organize them in beautiful cards is amazing.
Attachment system is bad. User should be able to attach multiple file simultaneously.
The product is beautiful, responsive, easy to use and it has A TON of great features. Also the support team is super friendly and I have always gotten responses within a few minutes.
More of a user error, but if I leave it running and forget about it, I have a long time period and I have to go back and fix the time, sometimes fixing the time isn't super intuitive.
Is so simple that you use it daily, I love the fact that you can use for your team with almost 0 learning curve. Is simple but very efficient UI is beautiful and clear.
ORA has been our final stop for Project Coordination.
Colin: Hi, my name's Colin. I'm the founder of Innovation Catalyst, and in my company I focus on running thought leadership events that inspire change in large organizations, and I've been using MeisterTask for a while now. I rate it five out of five. Before MeisterTask, I've used lots of different software for project management, some expensive, some cheap, trying to do things on Excel, working with Kanban, and anything that provides that, monday.com. I think the reason that I've actually found my home in MeisterTask is it's just so simple. It's so simple to get up and running, so simple to use. And it's really easy to go and collaborate with my clients outside of my company, get people to be invited to the sessions, share tasks, and organize ourselves in a way which doesn't push up the price like we've seen or I see on other platforms. I chose MeisterTask principally as a trial, as I think it was a free trial. It was incredibly cheap to get up and running. I found it incredibly user-friendly, very simple in terms of the walkthrough, and it fit my needs perfectly. I've continued using it because I've then found I can expand it. It's actually got a fair amount of functionality, which I don't use. Others do though, from occasion. It's really easy to integrate it with other platforms, to link it into other platforms. And so I've just continue using because it's great value and it allows me to go and interact and work with other clients of mine, particularly when we're running projects and we need a common platform. And they're able to learn this if they've never used it before very quickly as well. So we don't have that parental debate about what we should be using to keep track of whose doing what by when. Apparently, easy to use MeisterTask. In fact, it's so easy I can't actually remember what the onboarding was like. It's such a small amount of time, it took a year or two back to actually get logged on, get started, and start using it. It's kind of a blip in time, which I've almost forgotten, it was that easy. Number one recommendation is give it a go. Nowadays as with all SaaS programs, you've got the opportunity for free trials and start using it, and that's the best thing that I can recommend is give it a go. You're going to make up your mind quickly. In terms of ease of use, I can't see you finding a better software for task management and project management. It's more likely that you find that there's some sort of functionality that it doesn't have, and if that is the case, you'll make your own decisions. But in terms of getting started, just get started. It's that simple.
Jonathan T.: I'm Jonathan, I'm the owner of a small web and graphic design firm, and I give Ora, five out of five. When I was trying to make the decision on a task and project management software that I wanted to use... I've had a lot of experience over a number of years, lots of different things, Trello, and Asana, and Basecamp, all sorts of different things. And I came across Ora, I gave it a try, and that's what I went with in the end. I ended up going with Ora for a number of reasons. First, I came across it when it was a lifetime deal, so that was of course appealing to me. But if it was a piece of junk, I wasn't going to keep it. As I started to use it more I started to love more and more of the features. I had been in the past using softwares where I have to choose between cards and the Kanban-style of managing my tasks, or a list, or a calendar, or [inaudible 00:00:59], whatever it is. And Ora, gives me the ability to switch between all of those things. So, if I'm in the mood to be looking at, if it just works better for those tasks to do a list, I can see a list. If I want to do cards, I can see cards. I can even do multiple views within a project. So right now, I'm working with somebody to develop their website, and membership site. So, I've got the tasks for their site in a set number of [inaudible 00:01:24], to do, working on, ready for review, done. I have a set for that for their site. I have a set for tutorial videos I'm making. And I have another view in that same project looking like that, with those columns, for my admin work to emails or video chats with them or whatever it is. So, it's just a great way of organizing the tasks that I have. It's customizable, there's actions. I'm a big fan of all the automatic actions that can happen if I drag a particular card into a certain column, I can make it so any card that goes in that column automatically starts the time tracker or assigns it to somebody, or does all sorts of different things. I've used Ora to organize the work that I do, but then also streamline it and make it easy to do. The onboarding process with Ora has been, I think, interesting is the word, maybe. I find it very easy to use, it clicks with the way my mind works. I have another business that I run with a little bit of a large team, still pretty small. We tried Ora there, it just didn't work well with just the way some of those team members thought about tasks, or I think we just maybe got a little drowned in the number of different features and ways you can work about with things. And so, we just petered out and we've now moved on to something else with that business. I use Ora, personally, my design business is right now a one person show. And so, it works for me, I use it. There is a functionality where I can invite my clients to come in and view their project, their boards or whatever. And I've done that with some of my clients. Some of them just don't want that [inaudible 00:03:08], they don't need to see it. I've done it with others and that's gone well, they can get in as an observer, they can comment on different tasks, approve things. So, again, I'm not bouncing around with emails and there's some communication here, some there with those clients that I'm able to onboard, and that's pretty smooth. Send them a link, they sign up, I think, and then they can comment and all that. So now I've got my comments there right on the project that I'm working on, and they can view my uploads and all that right there. So if you're considering Ora, I'd say, give it a shot, look into it. One thing I think you should know is that it is still relatively new on the block, and it's not going to have this gigantic dev team and budget. That's something bigger and more established and more name brand like Asana, or Trello or something like that is going to have. So, some of the updates while they certainly are constant, might not be as fast to come out, but you do get, I think a little bit more of a personal touch because you can interact a little bit more directly with the people making it. They're still relatively small, but certainly around and making great progress and making a great product. I'm not worried that they're just going like disappear in a week, but because they haven't been around for 10 years, they're still getting some of the features rolled up or online. And so, just make sure, do a trial or sign up for a month or two and just make sure it's going to do what you want it to do. It works great for me. Only testing it out is going to give you that opportunity to test it and see if it works for you. (silence).
