PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

I like the fact that there is a free version. After all, I use this tool to help manage my personal project (which some might find silly), so I was not looking for anything too complicated. MeisterTask has an intuitive UI that is visually satisfying and easy-to-use, providing me with everything I need (and then some) for a personal project manager.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I have not used the paid version, so maybe this is a thing in the paid version, but it would be nice to be able to set tasks as being either epics, stories, tasks, or sub-tasks. I know that in the free version, the checklist items can kind of serve as sub-tasks because checking them off displays on the main pane as 1/3 or 2/4, etc. depending on how many checked items are on your list.

What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?

(Unless I am mistaken and this is already a feature of the paid version) I think it would be cool to be able to integrate this application with something like Gerrit (which I use at work) so that tasks could automatically be moved from a section like 'in review' to another section like 'ready for QA' when the code got merged into master.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

You can do a lot in the free version. So far I've only used by myself to keep organised with my projects but in the future, we want to try it out in our teams, so let's see what the free version offers for that.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I would like the export functions to be better, I don't really like the format in which you print it or export it as a pdf.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Unlimited users and unlimited projects on the free plan

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Tbh, none on the free plan, it is very good value! However, I would love to see a paid plan that wasn't charged per user - I will potentially have a LOT of users on the platform which makes the paid features unaffordable.

What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?

Not sure - it's pretty good! Maybe a team/project chat function like Asana has...

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We need to enable unlimited users to work together across shared projects, assigning tasks with due dates. Trello doesn't enable proper task assignment. Asana limits users unless you can pay a lot. MeisterTask does just what we want.
