Considered Both Products	OmniFocus Verified User Anonymous Chose OmniFocus OmniFocus is simpler, with a better front end experience. For individual use, OmniFocus is probably more powerful too. It also doesn't cost as much, which is why we ended up going for it. Incentivized Helpful? Rob Gokee Composer Chose OmniFocus 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, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OmniFocus OmniFocus is the most robust. Some criticize OmniFocus for focusing too much on task organization and not enough on task execution, and that may be valid depending on one's use-case. However, if you ever find things slipping through the cracks and unable to trust your system, … Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Stasel IT Operations Manager Chose OmniFocus Part of O365 is the Tasks application, which is "free" with O365 and does a lot of essential task management. Yes, it's very basic. Yes, it's basically "To-do," but it works quite well. Omnigraffle does everything better, and more thoroughly, but at a higher initial cost. If … Incentivized Helpful? Brian Bliss Freight Agent \| Transportation Broker \| Truckload Broker Chose OmniFocus I initially liked how OmniFocus was set up, but over time have gone back to a combination of Evernote and Todoist/Drafts for my daily organizing. This has been strictly from an ease of use and functionality perspective. Incentivized Helpful? Che Odom Marketing and Business Administrator Chose OmniFocus We have used Microsoft One Note and To Do as other ways of increasing organization across our company, however, we don't feel that those tools are appropriate for that use (in the instance of One Note) or as robust (in the instance of To-Do). Both are, however, easy to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose OmniFocus While Asana and others are more conducive to groups, OmniFocus is the best stand-alone task manager in almost all aspects. The visual appearance, flexibility, ability to script, predefined views, reporting, and performance. Incentivized Helpful? John Rougeux VP Marketing, North America Chose OmniFocus I have used Wunderlist and Trello but OmniFocus is my go to tool. Wunderlist is a bit too simple for my tastes; it's fine for things like shopping lists but wasn't well suited to more complex projects. And it takes time to use, since there are fewer keyboard shortcuts. Trello … Incentivized Helpful? AS Ash Sharma Director Chose OmniFocus The market is flooded with productivity apps; I have field-tested a large number of these, and continue to do so. However, without fail, I always come back to OmniFocus - it outstrips the competition by far. The sheer richness and flexibility of the product has no peer worthy of … Incentivized Helpful? Brad Pearce Member Chose OmniFocus The closest analog to OmniFocus is Todoist. OmniFocus, however, runs circles around Todoist and every other to-do list and reminder system. OmniFocus is not just best in class, it is in a class by itself. I feel somewhat incompetent saying more about how powerful OmniFocus is. … Incentivized Helpful? DE Doug Eli Director Of Technology Chose OmniFocus Most of the others are basic check lists. It is the context and perspectives of OmniFocus that has me using it. Using it is not as easy as others, but not as complicated as some (I'm looking at you Project!). Incentivized Helpful? Christian Payne Director Chose OmniFocus I selected Omnifocus, initially as it was Mac based and allowed me to keep on top of all my projects and tasks due to access on an iPhone and iPad. Previously I have used Microsoft Project, however I feel that Omnifocus is more powerful and easier to use. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	OmniFocus
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	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) Incentivized John Rougeux VP Marketing, North America Read full review
Cons	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. Incentivized Brad Pearce Member Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Over the past 4 years of use I still haven't found any product that comes close in terms of capability Incentivized AS Ash Sharma Director Read full review
Usability	This is a super usable tool to use. I really like the front-end user experiences, which makes using it really clear Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	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!

Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Rob Gokee Composer Read full review
Return on Investment	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.
