Landscape Management Network (LMN) vs. Microsoft To Do

We use Landscape Management Network (LMN) to collect and store all client data, from addresses and phone numbers, to communication notes, past estimates and projects completed and or lost. LMN stores all data for unlimited amount of time. It even allows for multiple contacts under the same property, multiple properties under the same contacts, and the ability to assign a primary contact for each specific property within a client account. It saves us so much time from tracking down, who worked with what client on what project and everything inbetween.

Wunderlist is a fantastic task management system, not the best project management system. For a long time, I tried to use Wunderlist to plan large events with multiple users and it wasn't as effective. But, once we simplified our desired outcome to accomplishing tasks that repeat or are unique to a given work-week, we had much more success. Now my assistant can manage her weekly tasks and give feedback through this app. I can also add tasks, assign them and see what is being accomplished

• Smart due dates are the greatest thing about Wunderlist. I can tell it to "print past due reports on Monday" and then set that up as a repeating event.
• It's clutter free. When I'm creating or assigning tasks I like to have a distraction free area to think, and the simplicity of Wunderlist gives me that.
• The fact that I can look at it on my phone, on the web, and on my PC and it always looks the same is great. I can always tell what I'm doing b/c of their consistent design choices.

• Customer facing experience can be improved and modernized
• Estimating component has been stagnant can needs updates
• Better budgeting system would be good

Incentivized

• Sub-tasks should have their own separate due dates
• The main list needs some more intuitive tools to sort the list in any way I choose
• Hovering over links should show a description of how to use it. For example, it would have been nice to know right away that double-clicking on a task is the way to open the details list.

I believe Wunderlist is the best to do management app on the planet. So far we are extremely satisfied with the performance.

The actual user interface and the way to navigate around the app is very intuitive and easy to learn/use which would make me give it a high ranking, but the syncing issues drop down my rating because there are times where you add an item to the list and then it just disappears. Then when you add it again the sync will happen and now you have duplicates. The other negative with the usability is adding extra information to an item, such as files or comments or assignments. You can do it but it's difficult to tell which items have this information from the main screen. You have to click on them individually.

I have not had an issue where I needed to reach out to Wunderlist, but I know their contact and online chat is easy to access and feel confident that they would be helpful. My only worry is Wunderlist is becoming Microsoft to-do in May 2020, and I believe the app will become worse after that.

It's a small tool compared to bigger project management software, but we found that they work perfectly together. It helps you declutter the larger PM tools, keep your smaller tasks in-line and make sure they get completed. When you're working in a creative agency, ideas and tasks are flying around, so having a tool like this that keeps you accountable and reminds you of your tasks is a must!
