OmniFocus vs. Teamwork.com

If someone is in the Apple ecosystem, it's the best choice. Far beyond a simple task manager, OmniFocus is the only software I've found that can reliably track every aspect of one's life. If I want anything in my life to be different than it currently is, there's a place for it in OmniFocus.

Teamwork is awesome for teams who need a flexible tool that supports all types of projects. Since it supports kanban it makes visualizing the work to be done and the work in progress very easy. The Gantt chart support is decent and helps to understand how a team is doing when it comes to getting work done in a given time frame. Teamwork isn't a great option for companies that have a bunch of projects going simultaneously due to the way Teamwork structures their billing based on a number of active projects.

• Managing projects at both a broad and a granular level.
• Allowing you to build customized views of your work.
• Helping you review projects that have not been looked at in while.
• Separating projects from different aspects of your life (e.g. work, home, consulting)

• I am a believer that simple and easy should be the key to create great opportunities.
• Teamwork has helped me to turn simple task management into the execution of large, massive projects.
• It has certainly worked great in helping to maintain workflow in my department.

• I would really like to see graphic presentations of how I allocate my time, what categories of tasks don't get accomplished, etc.
• I would like to see OmniFocus include Gantt chart functionality, such as allowing me to see how long it took me to accomplish a task from start to finish. Allowing me to actually input time spent, and seeing it on a Gantt chart, would be icing on the cake.

• Visualization needs to be improved, charts graphs are limited
• Value stream mapping should be available to determine and prioritize the work.
• Documentation should be available stepwise with export and printable facility.
• It should be configurable like ERP with cross functionalities of different users, where users login, assign and approve the work, job or project details, where it should be collectively effected on a project.
• Add many examples, little more AI, Machine learning required for suggestion and recommendation. It would be a plus point

Over the past 4 years of use I still haven't found any product that comes close in terms of capability

We are already at an annual contract, and have been for the past 5 years; so far the system has delivered, and our personal is already trained in it. A major overhaul of our entire infrastructure (as in moving everything to a single, unified platform) might change the current continuity of Teamwork Projects on our organization, but that's not feasible in the near future.

This is a super usable tool to use. I really like the front-end user experiences, which makes using it really clear

The web based user interface is familiar, flexible (boards, task lists, and Gantts) and feature-rich. It is simple enough for the beginner to be effective and robust enough for experienced users to gain efficiencies with advanced techniques. Reporting is intuitive and can be customized for transfer via email or to paper. Great interoperability with other tools make teamwork dependable and a good partner for the overall technology stack.

I have not had to call support for this product, so I don't really have any specific experience in that regard. I guess the good news is that the product has worked as advertised, so I haven't needed the support!

The support service provided by Teamwork is excellent, and one of the best I've experienced. This is for the following reasons: (1) The speed at which they respond to queries I raise (2) The depth of understanding they have of the product (3) The way in which they are able to understand my questions without needing me to re-explain (4) The quality of the documentation available online (5) The openness they express about current issues and downtime

OmniFocus is built for the user with a lot going on - consequently, it does a great job at organizing lots of things in a manageable workload. It's perfect for taking a project and breaking it down into small tasks for yourself or teams. Once you get past the learning curve, it's quick at adding new tasks. Overall, it's an excellent product.

I spoke about this quite a bit before, but as far as usability goes, Microsoft Projects is totally useless for me, so I avoid it at all costs. Basecamp was just a task management app and had very small feature set beyond that. We had to rig it to do other things for us, but it failed at that. Asana was a very nice app to trial, but it lacked many of the features that we were looking for.

• OmniFocus keeps our tasks moving forward. Using a free script you can search all your current projects for projects that have no next step assigned to it to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• When we serve our clients, the attention to detail we are able to give them comes from accurate tracking of what we need to deliver.
• We complete projects 25% faster than before and we can see where the bottlenecks are immediate. We have also been forced to document tasks in a more concrete manner which allows for better execution.

• Overall, it keeps our team on track ensuring that all of our projects are on time and on budget, which definitely contributes to our retention rates.
• It ensures that we're tracking time on billable tasks which contributes directly to our bottom line.
• Teamwork Projects also helps us better forecast when a clients project can be completed (alongside the other work our team needs to accomplish) AND it helps us more accurately quote projects in the future because we have historical time tracking data saved.
