MeisterTask Reviews

Summary: Excellent! Easy to use, but also a pleasure to use--not only for the visual reward I get from completing a task, but also for the well-designed interface.

Positive: I have tried several other project-oriented websites. MeisterTask is my favorite. As a creative, I enjoy the photos of nature and quotes, but also the well-designed layout. I find it easy to add and edit projects. I really like the feature where you can break down each project into smaller tasks, yet still see how it fits into the whole. This works with my visual reward system! I find it highly motivating.

Negative: I would refer to myself as a basic user, so I am likely not receiving the full benefit. I haven't used it for group/team endeavors so I can't comment on that.

Summary: Overall a great experience. I hope to keep using Meistertask for not only my business organizational needs, but also my personal needs.

Positive: I've tried Trello, Airtable, and other Kanban-enabled organizational tools, but Meistertask is the only one that's worked for me—the interface is clean and intuitive, the pricing is fair, and the free version has a complete feature set for my workflow.

Negative: Only a couple small issues with the interface: it would be easier to work with attachments if the file also has a title displayed instead of just an icon (right now the title displays only in a tooltip), and it seems only PDFs have a preview image capture.

Summary: My rating is based on its utility as a personal tool for planning activities and tasks. I cannot speak for corporate/organizational demands, although I'm sure it handles it well.

Positive: Love the interface... I find it more amenable to creativity than other tools I tried before. Very colorful and easy to move cards in and out of projects.

Negative: I would add the option to colorize a card, so that it stands out with respect to others.

Summary: 10/10. great product, essential to any software development team.

Positive: we full depend on MeisterTask for Quality Control of our 2 products.

Negative: absolutely nothing. can't fill 50 chars of cons :)

Summary: Very nice tool I like a lot! Using it almost daily now.

Positive: It is flexible to set up according your needs. It has the management of breaking things down already built in (relations). It's intuitively usable. I can use it on PC and iPhone.

Negative: I'm missing the capability to paste pictures into a task's notes and it will get automatically saved as attachment. And I'm missing to move around between the sections by clicking and dragging.
...and what I really hate: hidden scroll bars! Please show them! At least at the bottom of the client area.

Summary: Overall great! Would recommend it to anyone working on projects with a team

Positive: Really easy to use, helpful for team sharing and project planning. Has made my workload so much easier!

Negative: Would be great to have a calendar view of tasks and display tasks in a "project planning" view

Summary: I am so happy with this product. It has helped me sort out my ADHD brain into a clean, manageable list of priorities and tasks to be completed. I am so glad I found MeisterTask. It's truly life changing!

Positive: As an independent contractor I am so grateful they have a version of this I am able to use on my own. So many products don't allow you to even try, and it's too expensive for one person. But I have been using the free version for a couple of years just by myself and it is life-changing!

Easy to use. Love the UI. The due dates, the prioritization, the visually appealing design and layout. Basically everything about it is fantastic. I have tried many other task management services, but NOTHING COMPARES to MEISTERTASK.

Negative: If I didn't like it, I wouldn't use it :) Truly, it's fantastic.

Summary: I would recommend greatly this app for yourself or your small team. You can easily dispatch task to anyone in your team.

Positive: This task manager is simple but powerful. Packed with full of features, you can use for yourself or your small team.

Negative: Wish a better integration than iFrame in OSX. There’s no benefits of using the Mac app

Summary: The main use we have given to this platform has been because we were experiencing various difficulties in managing the large number of tasks that each of the employees were going to perform. Our clients constantly contact us in order to access our technology services. That is why this platform has allowed us to organize all of our work teams in a complete way. We have been able to assign specific tasks to our web development team, software development, administration, database, and many other areas. This platform has really served to manage all of the existing tasks in each of the work teams. I am very grateful for the overall operation of MeisterTask. It has been a really comfortable platform. Each of its functions are easy to use. You can schedule all kinds of assignments and tasks for your employees without any type of limit. You can follow and monitor very closely each of the activities that you have previously assigned. You can add new members to a specific activity and you can also consult reports and complete details of each of the assigned activities. We will continue to use this platform in the long term because of its effectiveness and the way we have been able to manage a large number of tasks so easily.

Positive: One of the main features that I liked about MeisterTask has been the way in which I can manage several tasks simultaneously, task management, within this platform and quite complete, and allows me to manage, monitor and assign new tasks to various employees, simultaneously, no matter the number of employees my company has, in the same way this platform will be able to provide me with constant monitoring of each of the scheduled activities and tasks. I also liked that this platform allows me to monitor in real time, each of the task assignments, in this way I can know the real status of each of the activities that I have assigned to my work team and to my employees throughout the company. I also liked that this platform allows me to use a work time system, in this way I can know how much time each of the employees has invested to complete their daily activities, I can also know in an automated way the work time that each of the employees has had on a specific day, this platform also serves as work time monitoring. MeisterTask also allows you to use a live chat system, in which employees can communicate with each other, and also share various assigned activities with you.

Negative: I have not had any problems using this platform within my company to manage the various tasks and assignments of all my employees. This platform has performed wonderfully and has provided a totally stable service, which has helped me complete all my employees' assignments in a very short time. In addition, we have also used this platform as a service for project management, since it allows us to add new resources, calculate budgets and much more for projects. The entire operation of this platform has been completely positive. We have been using this platform for more than two years, and we have not had any problems during the management of tasks for each of our work teams within the technology services company.

Summary: I must emphasize a lot that my experience within this platform has been quite good, as the founder of my company, I must manage everything that our full-time employees do, and that is why this platform has played a very important role within the management of tasks for all the work teams that make up my company, currently this platform has worked wonderfully to execute various tasks on a daily basis, we constantly receive new requests from clients who need some type of technology service, from our company, and that is where the game of this platform comes in, since I can assign those jobs to my employees and be attentive to the progress that these employees have within each of the services offered to clients, I love that with this platform I have been able to improve the compliance and delivery date of each of the tasks assigned to employees, really with this platform I have been able to have a much more complete order within all the tasks that are assigned to employees, previously it was very difficult for me to be attentive to each task individually, however, with the panel that this platform has offered me. This has been made much easier and I have been able to manage all the tasks in a generalized way. I am very grateful for the service and experience I have gained with the help of this platform and how great it has been to manage all the tasks with it.

Positive: One of the main things that I have liked about this great platform is the way in which it allows me to manage all the tasks that I have to assign to all the employees of the company. We currently have more than 50 employees throughout the company, and this platform has been key to being able to associate new task assignments for our employees, in a diverse way, each employee receives different tasks every day thanks to this platform. With the help of this service, I have been able to associate new tasks for any type of sector of my company, whether for the technology, marketing, sales or product area, it does not matter which sector I have to send a task to, this platform allows me to do it. I also liked the way I can closely monitor the progress of each task, and the people who are executing a task in real time. The real-time system works wonderfully and allows me to check the progress of each task individually. I can check the progress of the tasks that were to be executed for each area of ​​the company. In addition, the platform automatically sends me notifications when an employee has not completed a task assigned for a specific date, which improves punctuality when delivering tasks for specific days or dates. In addition, it is incredible how employees who use this platform to manage all their tasks can exchange tasks between themselves and work together. This platform allows these employees to add a new colleague to a specific task as an assistant, in this way they can work together to execute the same task. In addition, employees can exchange tasks with their colleagues within the same area, which helps all tasks to be executed simultaneously.

Negative: One of the main things that I have criticized a lot about this platform is that it does not have a service where you can work together within the same platform, either upload some type of document to edit and work together or upload some type of file so that employees can work together within the same task management panel, currently yes, some tasks can be modified so that they can work together, but outside of the applications, there is currently no type of panel within these applications that allows uploading new files or new tasks to be executed together, it would be excellent if this platform implemented a system where files can be shared, either to edit them together or to work with the help of a colleague specifically. I also did not like that this platform does not have automated notifications that allow employees. Receive notifications or reminders when you have a late task or when the delivery time is approaching and you have not completed the task. This system or this function is necessary so that our employees are always aware of the latest task assignments that have occurred within their sector. I would very much like this reminder function to be implemented as soon as possible.

Summary: In general, MeisterTask seems to me to be a complete and simple tool for project and task management that becomes flexible and versatile, allowing easy access to people with little knowledge of this type of platform, this improves the way in which a user can learn how to manage a project more easily. MeisterTask covers the needs of the different projects and teams that I manage, since it makes the work teams more sharp with the workflows created within this platform.

The similarity of the interface on different operating systems helped me work more easily, being able to find the same tools on different devices without being limited by the fact that I have to use the desktop version. With that I was able to adapt more easily to being able to use the MeisterTask tools without getting lost in the learning process by having the same tools in the same place on the different devices on which this platform can be installed.

In any case, this platform can be used through its website in case you do not need to download anything and it can also be useful when you have low-performance computers where you can only use the browser because other tools cannot be used. because of the low resource that the computer has. Therefore, MeisterTask project management is useful and can be used at any time for cloud-based project management in order to have more agile work teams by creating personalized workspaces by adapting workflows.

Positive: The project boards become quite customizable, they give me the possibility of being able to adapt my workflows to meet my needs and those of my team, thus being able to have the preferences that best suit what really works for me. manage projects more comfortably. There are many options that I have in mind when being able to add in a project, such as checklists, sections, labels, attachments and also being able to leave comments, as well as my work team in order to have better feedback. The freedom of customization that MeisterTask gives me is the best because I have no limit in being able to adapt different projects to different needs without having to adjust to specific parameters of this platform, but I choose how I want to manage my projects.

They have certain automations that allow me not to have to do repetitive tasks, but rather everything is done without having to do them manually, with certain parameters or rules I can make said assigned tasks or repetitive actions. With this I can assign tasks to certain people according to parameters that I have previously established without having to be within this platform to assign them manually, in addition to being automatically notified even if they have overdue tasks, this being easier for me when I drive a lot of projects.

Integrations with other platforms are complete and it also has complementation with other tools from the Meister Suite, allowing the integration of data from these other tools with the data from MeisterTask. The integrations with other platforms are very well defined with respect to their functionality, although there are very few platforms that can officially connect with MeisterTask. However, in case you need to integrate more applications that are not available in the section of applications that can be connected, then you can use an automation platform that is available such as Zapier or another with which you are familiar or simply use the MeisterTask API to connect other platforms directly to it.

Negative: The calendar or schedule view is only available for the business or corporation plan which for me is not necessary to have these expensive plans because I do not use all the features that can be handled in teams, with the Pro plan it is enough for me. However, despite the fact that the Pro plan is very good to be able to work individually, I cannot have access to the schedule of future tasks and events that I will have scheduled, so I necessarily had to upgrade to a business version to be able to have a calendar view with this missing feature which is very important for managing tasks and pending activities in my working life. Another way to be able to have a calendar view is through the integrations with the Outlook or Google Calendar calendar, this being a bit annoying because I don't want to check calendars from other platforms to see my MeisterTask tasks but I just want to be inside this platform and check my calendar even if my account is Pro.

The subscription system is a huge mess, there are certain things that allow people with a Basic account to collaborate, but on other occasions other people in my team with a Basic account cannot enjoy or see certain things about the projects or assigned tasks. In addition, it is not so easy to be able to assign licenses to other users, so it tends to be complicated, and a solution could be to add the number of users allowed for any Premium plan on the main page of MeisterTask and if more are needed, add them at once the additional cost in order to have a better budget when wanting a platform to work collaboratively on projects. Another issue I have with regards to subscriptions is that if I purchase a mobile subscription I won't have the opportunity to make changes to the subscriptions through the website nor can I be added to teams so I had to wait for them to my subscription expired since it seems that the mobile subscription differs in relation to the subscriptions made on the website.

Certain notifications have delays in both Windows and iOS and Android apps, the only app that works as well as the browser version is on Mac. This can be critical when you're running an important project and need to get notifications instantly of the latest updates, this being essential for anyone who is managing a project and that notifications are the first thing they see.

Summary: I have been using MeisterTask for approximately two years, when I started using this platform, the process of creating and assigning activities was a bit complex, since I had to individually register each of the employees within this platform to being able to assign activities to each one of them, however, after spending a week registering all our employees, I managed to start managing and assigning new activities for my employees. Since then, the results we have obtained with this platform have been very noticeable. , I have been able to assign a large group of activities for our marketing sector. In addition, I have also been able to assign activities for our finance sector and our real estate agents sector, for which it is important to highlight that this platform has been very optimal for managing several activities of different sectors of the company simultaneously. I would define the general experience that I had as positive and almost perfect, since this platform helped me manage a large number of activities and also allows me to monitor the work time of our employees, in addition, it was very important for me to be able to store all this data within this platform, you can store all data collected from the activities and working time of our employees in the MeisterTask platform.

Positive: MeisterTask has been an important platform to be able to manage a large number of tasks simultaneously, the first feature that I liked about this platform is that it allowed me to assign various activities and link them with another calendar system, in this way each of our employees I could visualize all the activities planned for each day of the week, also, I loved the fact that each of the employees could exchange activities, this function is very important since we assign different activities for all sectors of our company every day company, therefore, if an employee considers that the assigned activity is very complicated, they can exchange it with another employee who knows how to do it. I liked that this platform allows me to assign a delivery time limit to each of the activities that I have recently created. This function is very important to be able to set a delivery limit for each activity. In this way, we help reinforce responsibility in the delivery of activities for each employee, this system has been quite beneficial, we have been able to improve the delivery time of each activity. In addition, one of the most important features that this platform gave me is the work time management system, this platform allowed me to collect precise information about the work time that each employee has spent to complete specific activities, this platform escapes accounting the time spent for each activity, this information is very relevant to me, which helps me to know in a very close and detailed way all the time you have traveled to complete an activity. I also liked that this platform provides me with a comprehensive communication system, in which all employees can communicate, exchange ideas or exchange solutions while carrying out activities. This system has been very beneficial for me, since our employees have always been able to keep up. Communicated with each other, they have been able to exchange different solutions for assigned tasks.

Negative: The main negative critical point of this platform is the free trial, this free trial allows us to have simultaneous monitoring of various activities, and it also does not allow you to monitor the work time of each of the employees to manage each of the activities, Currently, this free trial only allows you to create a limited number of tasks for your employees, in addition, you will not be able to register a large number of employees within this platform if you do not have a premium version, therefore, this causes the free version not to work. it is really useful, unlimited and causes new users to not be able to try many of the features of this platform. The second negative feature of this platform is that currently it is not possible to have an accounting of the budget of your projects, forms and allows you to create a new project and be able to view and manage it, it also allows you to integrate new participants in each project as it is still bad, it does not have implemented the budget management function, which causes you to not be able to post and record the estimated budget for each project, I recommend that you use an alternative application for project management. The last negative point related to this platform is that the dashboard view is not as accurate as it seems, this old dashboard only allows you to see which tasks have been completed and which tasks are still pending, but it does not offer you detailed information about the group of activities that you have assigned, You cannot know details about the number of participants because the task, in addition, you cannot know the progress of each task, in order to know the progress in the board view, you have to enter each activity individually.

Summary: MeisterTask has been a perfect platform to optimize the process of creating activities and managing them, and allows our employees to exchange activities, for example, if we have assigned an activity to a specific employee, this employee can always exchange that activity with someone else. another colleague, since the platform has this function, in addition, it is a form that also has many interactive ones, this Chat allows employees to interact when they are developing an activity together, for example, if the Senate performs an activity for a group of employees, that group of employees will be able to use this chat to communicate and make activity management much easier. I am happy with the results obtained so far, I consider that this platform has been key to optimizing the process of delivery and preparation of each activity, in addition, this platform has made employees much more responsible with the delivery of activities, since previously they did not deliver the activities on the assigned date, therefore, with the help of this platform we can configure an activity so that the delivery date is a deadline. It is important to highlight that this platform has greatly improved the activity delivery process. Previously, in this company, activities were delivered on dates that were not assigned, therefore, this system allowed us to reinforce the delivery of activities on specific dates.

Positive: The main things I like about MeisterTask were:

1- The first feature that I liked about this platform is that it allows me to assign activities for all types of employees, who are located in any of the sectors of our company, in addition, I can assign activities and add a delivery date, for which , the activities will never be delivered after that delivery date, this helps to improve the responsibility of our employees. I also liked that every time they assign an activity, I received an alert on the platform and also an alert in their emails, so they will always be informed about each of the recently assigned activities.

2- Another of the things that I like about the Camera is the way in which it allows me to have a constant and real-time monitoring of each of the activities that are being carried out in our company, just by accessing the main panel of the platform, I can individually view all the activities that are currently being developed, I can also see the recently completed activities and the activities that have not yet been weighed. Therefore, the main one is very beneficial for me, it helps me to know the activities and the progress of each one.

3- I liked that this platform allows me to send automated reminders for each assigned activity, this function is very important since it improves the productivity and responsibility of our employees, the reminders are sent to the email address associated with each employee, This is useful so that the Olympics do not remind you that they must deliver the activity on the assigned delivery date.

4- I also like that this platform is capable of counting the time that each employee has taken to complete an activity, in addition, this platform also allows counting the inactive hours and the total hours elapsed since the start of each activity. This function is very important since it allows to know much more in depth the hours worked by each employee to complete all the activities assigned for a specific day.

Negative: Currently I consider that there is no type of disadvantage or negative characteristic in relation to the form, I consider that the main interface is quite modern, and it helps to know innovative and detailed results about each of the activities that are being developed, for which, within this platform always to have a monitoring of the activities and work time of your employees, at no time have I had any kind of problem with this platform, it has been easy to use, I have gotten along very well with each of the functions of task management and I have also loved the pricing and the free plan of the platform, I have no complaints whatsoever.

Summary: MeisterTask is a platform that has helped us a lot to function in our work area, since this platform has been able to help us manage all the activities that are taking place every day. I really loved the statistical functions that this platform has, because these functions allow me to understand the progress that our company has been making through the correct project management, this platform is capable of generating automatic statistics to graphically show us the progress or the trend that our projects are having, depending on the success of each project, this platform generates automated graphs to help us understand if our company has been growing or has been declining. I really loved the experience obtained with this very collaborative tool, I consider that it helped me a lot to manage all the tasks that are being carried out in that company, also, the large number of projects that are carried out in our company is quite high, for which , this software has helped us to have a correct administration of each one of them, previously this was a quite complicated process since we had to do the administration manually, and the paperwork process was quite complex for us, therefore, in that At the moment we only manage a few projects, currently, we can manage more than 10 projects simultaneously.

Positive: MeisterTask is a service that has provided correct task management for our entire company. The main reason we started using this platform in our real estate sector was because it was a platform that offered us a wide range of solutions, since it not only Not only is it capable of managing tasks, but it also allows you to manage budget, manage projects, and manage project participants, as well as work time. One of the first characteristics that I liked about this platform is regarding the work time measurement system, since this function allows to know how much time an employee has invested in completing one of the activities necessary to complement a project, in addition, I can also see how much time a workgroup spent to complete a project activity. I also liked that this platform is capable of providing me with a budget function, this function is capable of allowing me to add each of the necessary materials to complement each project, as well as allowing me to eliminate each of the repetitive materials, to have a correct administration of the amount of money to invest in a project. I really loved the budget management that this platform has, it helps me save money on each project.

Negative: The main negative things that this platform has is with respect to the visualization system, currently it has a board-type view that is quite disorganized, since it would be much more excellent to be able to visualize each of the projects that are being developed individually, it is not We like the fact of visualizing all the projects in a general way, since this platform provides us with various boards to visualize pending projects, completed projects and incomplete projects, however, this board view is quite uncomfortable and does not provide us with much visualization. more specific details of each project. Another of the problems that this platform has is that currently it is not possible to monitor the progress of a project through the mobile phone, the mobile phone application only allows you to manage projects, create new projects, manage project participants and many other things, however, it does not have administrative functions to monitor the progress of a project and know which activities have been completed successfully.

Summary: MeisterTask has been a very important system for the entire company, mainly for the other corporate sector, because we are using it to manage the large number of tasks that all our employees carry out. We believe that this platform has helped a lot since there are more than 1000 employees in our company, with the help of this platform we can know exactly which activities correspond to a specific employee, we can also create scheduled activities for a specific work team, I am very happy with the results obtained to date, it has been a fairly optimal platform despite the fact that adapting to it has been quite a complicated process and has taken several days because the platform is a bit complex to use. There are still several things to improve within this platform, since I consider that the limits of the free trial have to be expanded, as well as various manuals have to be added to start using the platform and that the employees of my company can adapt quickly. I consider that the general experience has been quite optimal, I feel very comfortable using this platform since it has allowed me to manage a large group of tasks every day.

Positive: The administration of tasks and the process of monitoring them is something quite important for us, within the real estate company, mainly because all our sales agents and our people in charge of advertising our company have different tasks every day, that silver, has been key for my tasks tattoo and keep a scheduled control of each one of them. Below I will mention the positive things that I have noticed about this platform.

1.- One of the main things that I liked about this platform is that it is capable of dividing all the tasks by the number of sectors registered within the platform, for example, a hundred companies have more than work directors, you will have to register them each one within the platform, in addition, you will have to register the number of total employees for each of the sectors. Separating these sectors within the platform helps you to visualize separately the number of tasks scheduled for a specific sector, in this way it would be much easier for you to monitor tasks within a specific sector, in addition, having a much better visualization more organized than the number of total tasks.

2.- The second thing that I like about this platform is that it has an alert system which is capable of notifying you when an employee with a work team mines a specific task, in addition, there is Emma also between operations when some employee not delivered the task or activity corresponding to the scheduled date and time. I love this system very much because it keeps me up to date on each of the changes and tasks completed within my company, and it also allows me to know exactly which tasks have not been completed in the corresponding time.

3.- I also love that this platform has an excellent communication system, which allows messages to be sent and received between work teams immediately, this communication system is quite optimal, since it also allows file sharing, collaboratively edit files between several employees, send and receive messages instantly and much more, it also allows you to send and receive images. You are a communication system and quite optimal to enhance the business collaboration system, since all employees will be able to interact with each other and share all kinds of ideas to coordinate activities faster.

4.- The fourth thing that I liked about this platform is regarding the statistics that you offer me to stop the progress that the fulfillment of the activities has been having. Within this statistical system, the growth of the delivery of activities is separated by each sector, that means that the statistics are structured between the number of total sectors, you will be able to know exactly the effectiveness or the decline that a team of specific work, you will be able to fully understand if a work team is delivering its activities and therefore is improving its general responsibility, this platform helps me to statistically understand the growth in the optimization of my work team.

5.- This platform has a version for mobile devices, it is important to highlight how much I liked this application, because I can also record all kinds of activities scheduled for a specific date, I can constantly monitor each one of them. activities and know if an employee is completing it or a group of employees is developing it. This application is very well developed, it has all the essential functions to have a correct administration of activities, in addition, it allows you to send activity reminders and much more. I find this app to help a lot to monitor tasks when you are away from your office.

Negative: MeisterTask is a service that has responded correctly to all the needs that my company had, since all task monitoring and planning have been covered, however, we have also perceived some negative things about this platform . Next, I will mention the negative things about MeisterTask.

1.- One of the main negative things that turned out a lot during our experience is that currently there is no type of system that allows the recovery of deleted data. For example, if in a work team there is an individual who has mistakenly deleted some information from the task, it is not possible to recover that information, within this platform there should be a backup system that is capable of returning to the original version a scheduled task, since if for some reason an employee deletes information from the task, there is no possibility of recovering it.

2.- The second negative thing about this platform is that currently the free trial that it offers is quite limited, I have used this free trial for about two weeks, and I really couldn't do much within it. The main reason I didn't like this free trial is because it doesn't allow me to manage or schedule more than five activities at the same time, plus I can't send activity reminders to a specific work team. I find this free trial too limited compared to the great features it offers within the paid version. For obvious reasons, I agreed to purchase a paid version of this platform, I don't regret it at all, but I do consider that the free trial should be much more optimal.

3.-Another negative thing is that there is currently no type of manual to start using the platform, which has meant that new users who start using this platform within my company need immediate training from the trained team. I believe that this platform should have a forum or several articles that allow an explanation of how the general system works, so that all the employees of my company can quickly adapt to the platform.
