Considered Both Products
MeisterTask
Chose MeisterTask
Easy to use for every user, because of its simple interface. Less cost and setup time relating to Trello. MeisterTask can help you to keep an eye on all of the diefferent task in your project.
Chose MeisterTask
MeisterTask has all the features which is a combination of all other tools. It also offers a basic plan which is good enough for personal use. Even for the Pro and Business plans, prices are affordable. It also offers an integration feature with other Applications. An overall …
Chose MeisterTask
I believe that this is a very user-friendly interface and easy to access and keep track of all tasks on E-mail; you can also `enable the notification on mobile. As a Team leader, you can track all tasks aligned with your team and check on the status of reported/
Chose MeisterTask
Meistertask seems like it was made for work, and it doesn’t hide its features amid complicated menus. The Mobile experience is one of the best I have used in task management. It integrates with other tools more widely via Zapier and various built-in ecosystem connections within …
Chose MeisterTask
Easy to use user interface, easy setup and probably the quickest setup of what I’ve tried. For what I need it to do it excels. The other platforms are more robust and feature packed, but that comes with more cost and setup time.
Chose MeisterTask
Meistertask is more visual and has a strong integration with mindmeister to create mindmaps first and from that to create tasks for your team. The reporting part is insightful to help monitor your team and see who needs additional help.
Chose MeisterTask
The difference between Trello and MeisterTask is that the Trello learning curve was very high compared to the other software mentioned above, in addition not many features met the requirements based on the needs that adapt to any company so in these cases we decide on this …
Chose MeisterTask
Ease of use and free version availability.
Chose MeisterTask
We have tried a lot of tools and we still use quite a lot, but only MeisterTask is the one we could not replace with any others. We use some other software for our personal planning, but when it comes to professional project management and collaboration, we simply choose …
Chose MeisterTask
I would rate MeisterTask as the second-best option here. Microsoft Project is easily the best project management software you can buy. It has every feature you could imagine and then some. Asana is inferior to both other programs, having the most limited functionality out of …
Chose MeisterTask
More user-friendly - the design and user experience is really something outstanding and you love it from the first moment.
Easier learning curve - in few minutes you are ready to deploy a full project within MeisterTask.
Better apps - both the web app and the mobile apps are …
Chose MeisterTask
MeisterTask is a great app for tracking your to-dos and manage your team. You can track the time you spent on each task and it's a nice design. Good mobile app too, that helps keep everyone informed about the event and the task that need to be done and who is taking care of …
Chose MeisterTask
More customization, easier learning curve, gorgeous interface, more user-friendly, just the right amount of features without offering so many that you practically have to set up the entire app yourself before you can use it, the most integrations with other services, lets you …
Chose MeisterTask
  • Some other competitors have too many features and are heavy and slow.
  • Meistertask is very reactive and does what you need in some words or clicks.
  • Easy to use, only the necessary features.
Chose MeisterTask
From my perspective, MeisterTask's unique value comes from its deep connection with MindMeister (mind mapping tool) starting with this and then being able instantly to sync the map into a Kanban/scrum type board.

I am a very heavy Trello user and most of my work is held in …
Chose MeisterTask
Asana: while MeisterTask is card-based, this one is list-based. This one is entirely matter of preference. I prefer cards.

Trello: I used Trello for a long time and liked it. And though it lacked certain features, there were plenty of developers trying to create add-ons to …
Chose MeisterTask
Simple with a great UI, are the simplest words I think we can use to describe MeisterTask. I have used Trello, FreedCamp, and Freshbooks but, the time tracking is the great feature that I am getting used to with this and it's Trello like UI. So, many of users are fine with this …
Roadmunk
Chose Roadmunk
Roadmunk beats Aha! through visualization and Gantt connections between work items. We originally turned to Lucid (Spark and Chart) and Miro to get away from Aha's difficulties, but those platforms presented significant challenges in terms of relationships and dependencies.
Chose Roadmunk
We've used Google Calendar, Microsoft Office products, Trello, and others. Roadmunk seems to combine the best of all of those, and then offers a little more.
Chose Roadmunk
I was not involved in product selection for Roadmunk, but for our business need, it is much lighter weight and easier to onboard and use than Aha!
Chose Roadmunk
Roadmunk has an actual product management workflow design built into it vs trying to use eg generic e-post-it software like Trello. Trello is better at free-forming prioritization, which is actually much better than (again) the awkward item navigation in Roadmunk, but the …
Chose Roadmunk
Much easier to use Roadmunk than PowerPoint. The template is already set and the box heights are fixed. Having less flexibility is actually useful here, since you don’t have to build everything from scratch, you can just focus on the insights. The Gantt chart functionality in …
Chose Roadmunk
We moved from Roadmunk to Jira to consolidate platforms.
Chose Roadmunk
To be quite transparent, Roadmunk was the cheaper option. However, it also provided a ready-to-use solution for the team that required little to no training to get up and running. It provided the needed results almost from Day 1. Aha! had the more robust feature set and the …
Chose Roadmunk
In my opinon Roadmunk has the best UX and very friendly interface. The decision to purchase Roadmunk was based also on the great customer service and help provided by the team. Roadmunk team is open to suggestions and is constantly working on their product. It's great to see …

If you are doing simple tasks, and do not need to see Gantt dependencies, this can work for you. You likely know that other tools seem cumbersome already, and Meistertask is the opposite. If you like mind mapping, try combining this with Mindmeister by thhe same company to integrate your mind maps into actual project plans.

Pros
  • The learning curve is really short compared to other software that is related to this.
  • It is very easy to manage several projects at the same time, thus saving time in the work process.
  • Managing the elements of the list is very comfortable since its interface allows everything to work in an orderly manner based on what I want to put as important for me.
  • It has versions that are adapted to any type of company or if you want to give a personal use because it also has an option based on what you want to do with MeisterTask.

  • Collaboration – Roadmunk makes it very easy to work and edit within a team structure.
  • User Experience – The usability of the product made it quite easy for the entirety of the team to hit the ground running (i.e. very little training was required).
  • Rollups – Each product line and therefore each product owner could easily focus on their particular roadmap without having to sort through the master roadmap making it highly efficient, while at the same time making it quite easy to pull all updates into one high-level document.

Cons
  • I really wish there was a tab to create a Gantt Chart on MeisterTask. This would be extremely helpful to track the progress of a project as a whole.
  • Some of the controls are not intuitive. For instance, you can select an individual person to see only their respective tasks, which is super helpful. But, to unselect that person and go back to the overview, you have to refresh the page and then hit the back button. This is super inconvenient to do every time.
  • One other feature I wish was included it a "percentage complete" tracker that showed what percentage is done with each task people are on.
Read full review
  • The fact that you have to add a date to everything; dates stick to people’s minds.
  • Connecting bars to milestones; unclear which to use when.
  • Collaboration isn’t great; can’t track changes, add comments, etc.

Performance has improved meaningfully over the last 12 months or so, especially in our views that contain many roadmap items. Some challenges remain, however, particularly when changing the timeline and in scenarios of multiple users interacting with the roadmap simultaneously.

The Roadmunk team has been great to work with...whether proactive communications about new features or the occasional outage, or when we reach out to them with feature requests, assistance/support, or even license management and renewals - they are top notch.

Return on Investment
  • It optimized workflow and simple project tasks.
  • The use of the free version allowed budget savings.
  • Drag and drop and Kanban style cards are especially effective in mobile use.
  • Overall, MeisterTask has a good impact on our ROI by increasing communication, saving time and reducing meeting needs.

  • Roadmunk has reduced the number of meetings that product needs to attend with customers by 20-25%
  • Roadmunk has eliminated a whole set of churn in our workstream management tool (JIRA) by abstracting the planning step away from the steps where we monitor work progress
