Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Tasks helps me manage, capture, and edit my tasks [which] sync across my laptop and phone, which is very useful in meetings. It helps me stay on track with due dates and notifications and since it is integrated with the rest of the G-Suite, its easy to access from Gmail as well.

Pros

Create Tasks straight from Gmail
Integrated well with G-Suite
Quickly capture tasks anywhere

Cons

It may take some time & adjustments to build a workflow that covers your specific needs.
Need a feature to hide tasks that are weeks or even months ahead into the future.
Missing a full tab view where you can see all your different lists of tasks.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great to take quick notes during meetings. Along with being a good planner app, it offers a clean list of tasks from bottom left which looks great. It is also useful when using Google Calendar. I am a list person so I rely on this app. It is quick and easy to use and I never have to worry about losing a paper list.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

On the daily Tasks is used to stay organized on daily to-dos that pertain to all kinds of workloads. We lean on the service to plan our day and prioritize the work that needs to get done. By using Tasks we are able to structure our day-to-day and ensure we're being productive with our time and energy. Without Tasks, we'd be more prone to wasting valuable time.

Pros

Time management: Being automatically reminded of recurring tasks means we are less likely to forget.
Ensuring project dependencies are noted and addressed.
Task nesting: We can build a task tree easily and view it from within most of Google's apps.

Cons

Reminders: Right now one must manually check their tasks pane to see what needs to be done. When things get busy we may forget to check this.
Linking to docs inside Drive would be much appreciated as we often have to perform updates inside project-related files.
Task sharing is nonexistent. It would be good if we can collaborate with others on larger tasks and see what still needs to be done in the context of larger projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

Tasks are great if you're needing a tool to keep track of what you need to get done and when. Being able to create task lists and create sub-tasks gives enough flexibility to organize your day. The ability to access the tasks pane from almost any Google app is very handy since it means one doesn't have to leave what they are doing just to add an item or check off a completed task.
