Used as a simple one off task tracker for small projects with usually one person assigned to it. It covers all the basics - time tracking per task, assigning with deadlines, file uploads, commenting, and custom statuses. It has a good mobile app and is very easy to pick up and get things set up and running quickly.
Pros
Easy to use interface
Good amount of customization
Has integration with most of the commonly used platforms
Cons
Hard to set up a portfolio of projects
Limited set of project views
May not dive deep enough for some users or workflows
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have simpler projects or tasks that are relatively cut and dried this works great. I love that time tracking is built in and can be exported. I haven’t had a chance to use it in an environment where there are a lot of assignees working collaboratively but it has potential to work there as well.

I have used MeisterTask as part of courses wherein students need to learn to work as marketeers and also undertake project management. This tool is being used to allow the students to learn to work with deadlines and multiple tasks and projects to help support agile ways of working with in school.
Pros
visually clearly to distinguish tasks
simple tracking
creating projects and todo's right out of MindMeister
Cons
with checklist item show a progress counter on the task card
possibility to make columns smaller, now one needs to scroll when one had more than 4 columns
Likelihood to Recommend
Suited: easy to set up with small teams to collaborate and work together in projects and tasks to meet deadlines personal productivity Less suited: not so project management/ agile/ kanban trained people, they will need to get used to it, however it is fairly intuitive to learn the basics and start using it
