Ayoa Erfahrungen

I love DropTask

Kommentare: It gives me a birds eye view of all of the things I need to pay attention to, and helps me focus in on them when I need to. I can collaborate and see where tasks are, and get things done.

Vorteile:

There's so many features to like - it is visual and can be made to look just how I want, and I love the new planner which helps me nail down my priorities.

Nachteile:

Adding a document to a task is a bit clunky, I'd rather go to the linked file in its native app or on my computer than bring it into DropTask. I would also like the task sidebar to have more space, as the boxes for writing updates here are quite small and you have to scroll a long way down. Perhaps an update would offer the opportunity to open up the task sidebar into a full screen view?

To Do or Not To DO

Kommentare: I search and used many to do lists; Google Tasks, ToDoist, apps for Google Tasks, etc. They all just fall short. On the nicer ones, they are great but you have to pay a business subscription to get simple functions like recurring, this is available as standard in DropTask. I use it continuously throughout the day. I have projects for work and for home, I have never been so organised.

Vorteile:

I like that you have have different layouts. As I am old fashioned, I have asked them to activate an old feature, the Calendar View, just so I can see task in a date order. The recurring tasks work so well. I have tasks that repeat daily, every work day, every three working days, monthly and annually - it just works even in the free version.

Nachteile:

Some tasks mean I have to go to an online resource. Other To Do management tools allows me to click on the link and take me to that resource. Although I have the link in the subject line. I have to go into the subject and copy and paste it in the browser. If you could support links in the subject link, it would make it a lot easier. It would be nice to hide tasks that are not due for one month on the Project View, just to remove the clutter.

Feels like it is made for kids

Kommentare: Frankly, I don't feel I'll solve any business problems with DropTask that I am not already solving with my current system. The UI is very attractive, I will say that. Integration with other systems is great, although I see that same functionality with many other systems. The primary feature that I thought might be interesting is integration with iMindMap, which - at the end of the day - seems less useful than I thought. I use Mind Mapping for idea capture, brainstorming, and the like. I have not actually used Mind Mapping as a PM tool, and maybe I'd change my mind concerning DropTask if I did. At this point in time, however, I feel there are other task management systems that will do the job as well as or better than DropTask can, but a lower cost per user.

Vorteile:

DropTask does have dedicated applications for all OSes, which is getting more difficult to find. I absolutely do not like PM tools that are all web-based. The web just doesn't provide all of the functionality that a native application does, including an icon on my Taskbar. I realize that may sound silly, but being able to get to my PM app quickly is very important to me. The fact that DropTask supports all OSes is a real benefit.

Nachteile:

As a disclaimer, I bought a year subscription to DropTask because of a package deal with iMindMap. I really only wanted iMindMap, but figured I would at least give DropTask a shot as well. I'm currently using another task management system, which I intend to continue. The short story is that DropTask looks beautiful and has neat animations and pretty colors and flying bubbles and drag-and-drop swimlanes...and I ended up feeling that it was all just fluff over the same task management system I use now. Pretty colors are great - they can be engaging. Further, I realize that DropTask is integrated with iMindMap, which promotes engaging the viewer. I just ended up turned off by the whole experience, however. I am happy with lists, not bubbles. Zooming in and out is fine, but a simple list would do the job. I spent a total of about 15 minutes clicking around and just felt that children would love all of the neat UI, but as a PM tool, I felt DropTask obscured what I need to do things.

Extremely Simple and Powerful Task Management Tool

Kommentare: I have used this for many years across many businesses and different roles. Would definitely recommend DropTask to anyone looking for a simple to use task management app.

Vorteile:

The visual interface makes this a simple tool to work with.

Nachteile:

I still like to print out my daily task list. Unfortunately, there is no simple way to do this in Droptask, you need to export your entire list by project.

I love mindmaps and this is my mindmapping tool of choice

Kommentare: It’s an easy to use tool - I mindmap all the time and always reccommend using this

Vorteile:

Just totally love this app - I use an external keyboard with my ipad and it is really easy to create mindmaps using just the keyboard. I use it from small maps of ideas on a particular topic to (what is one of my favourite uses) as a mindmapping tool when at a conference or event to take all my notes. I can create maps so easily and quickly that by reviewing the map it is like I am still at the event taking in all the details

Nachteile:

Sometimes I mis click and it thinks I am wanting to assign project related items to a line - but it is easy enough to remove afterwards

Does not get the job done

Kommentare: The limited team size allowed did not help us test how we can properly design and execute a subproject. It was good for brainstorming and mind mapping, but that was it.

Vorteile:

1. Mind mapping and sharing it with team members as a trial. You can't start paying apps for 10 people and then check if it works. 2. Formatting an idea into different ways - a very useful capability

Nachteile:

1. The graphics environment does not make online collaboration easy (UI is kind of heavy as well) 2. The trial version does not allow the onboarding of a testing team to find out whether this is a good fit 3. Does not offer canvases or templates to cover the most popular team activities. You need to jump to another app

Love it since ever

Kommentare: It helps me manage my business opportunities and projects and collaborate with the team and many others.

Vorteile:

It’s so easy to use and it does a lot. Just need to explore as it has a quick learning curve.

Nachteile:

Still looking for... Well, I still miss some features present on iMindMap

The best of the best in mind mapping!

Kommentare: I being working with iMindMap for more thst 7 years and I have to say that it has being awesome because this is truly one of the ways to really show information in an easy, simple, dynamic and fun way. It has made my life so much easy!

Vorteile:

Well I have to say that I like everything about iMindMap but the things that I really like are the exporting tools and presentation options because they allow me to present my mind maps every where with the quality and settings I truly want without losing anything just like if I was presenting in IMindMap.

Nachteile:

The only thing I can say that I dislike is the price but that will be all because iMindMap is by far the best in the game.

Best software for MindMapping

Vorteile:

The way MindMaps are drawn is very close to how people would draw one using a pen. You have all the needed flexibility to do what you want.

Nachteile:

It is too much interfaced with other products that I Don't need. Good to have but I never use these functions.

Collaborate and plan your activities with ingenuity

Kommentare: We have used it internally to verify the material of the courses and the logistic of realization, it is excellent to have a clearly visual approach of everything and to see the fulfillment of the processes that lead to the fulfillment of each task. It is ideal for assembling the academic program of the quarter and visualizing the progress in each of its phases in detail. Being a visual platform facilitates the detection of obstacles and obstacles to correct.

Vorteile:

Planning and monitoring with a visual focus is what makes it attractive for organizing, collaborating with co-workers and sharing information. Its interface is innovative, modern, attractive and intuitive, synchronizes in good time between the different devices, and has perfect integration with the Google calendar.

Nachteile:

Not very easy to use, generates difficulty at first understand how to generate the drops and list the tasks

I am truly excited for Ayoa's future.

Kommentare: I'm so excited! Ayoa seems hard at work and the product is getting updated and improved rapidly since the merger. It's good enough for now, which says a lot, but has more potential for sure!

Vorteile:

Ayoa is really something special. I am currently transitioning from Trello as my daily task manager to Ayoa. Trello is and was fabulous, but it was lacking something, and that is why I started looking for a replacement. What was it lacking? The big picture! I had built up a backlog of hundreds of tasks with no way to view them at a distance. Ayoa allows you to build a mind map that displays every aspect of your project/business/organization. Broken down in every category of tasks. **Here** is the magic. Now you have your "task mind map", you can click on a branch and start adding tasks, then adds them to "task boards". Then you have a "My Planner" that is separate​ from the big task boards, just for "up next" stuff. A lot of flexibility​!, there are limitless ways to use this software.

Nachteile:

There are LIMITLESS ways to use this software. It took me a couple of weeks before I could even figure out how I was going to organize everything. (and I'm still not done yet) It's not clear yet how people are using this software for business, there are not many example templates that are useful to me. So for now you just have to figure it out. There is also no ability to integrate third-party​ SaaS products like we've come to expect with most enterprise software these days.

DropTask beautifully scales up.

Kommentare: Because DropTask is web-based, I use it both at home for personal tasks, and at the office to manage my own work. My company uses Outlook 2010, but I don't enjoy the task list there. My function is business analyst. When I write user stories, I organize them in the Canvas view in DropTask. This is for my eyes only; no colleague is invited since this is not an office tool.

Vorteile:

DropTask is versatile: you can use it as a simple task list, as a collaborative system, even as an agile tool... Most of the time, I find what I need just by looking where it seems to make sense - and there it is. The interface is beautiful and well thought through. My company uses Jira to manage workflows. It's great, but heavyweight. I could imagine small companies or teams using DropTask.

Nachteile:

I don't know what happens to the files I attach to a task. Are they ever deleted? Are they kept somewhere? I am reluctant to attach files because I don't see DropTask as a safe storage place. I wish there was a way to attach files through DropTask to Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, on another dedicated service.

AYOA is excellent mindmapper and task software.

Kommentare: I love AYOA overall. It's not as useful for task management as ASANA but the way you can view your mindmaps, whiteboards and the tasks you do in a visual, dynamic environment is 2nd to none.

Vorteile:

I love the way that AYOA renders it's mind maps in several views. Same for task management that actually allows you to have the different categories in large moving "bubbles". it even has a Pulse which is a team blkast that I use as a daily diary.

Nachteile:

Not enough hotkeys and the email to task method could be more focused.

Mind Mapping at its Best!

Kommentare: A wonderful tool that we have incorporated into the heart of our business - indispensable to how I work.

Vorteile:

SEARCH! SHARING! I compared ALL of the various options on the market, and after spending a long time evaluating each one, Ayoa - which started as a complete unknown - ended up taking the prize. We then converted 400 mind-maps into their system, and have been enjoying the new features and working with the development team.

Nachteile:

On more than one occasion, a bug has caused some topics to be lost while copying/pasting - this is very intermittent, but has happened. I would LOVE a better export/backup option - years worth of work are now contained within the product, and having a good backup would make my anxiety decrease a lot!

Simplicity

Kommentare: I have used Ayoa since its inception as Droptask and have been very impressed with the way the developers have listened to the users and developed a most useful planning and collaboration tool.

Vorteile:

Ayoa allows me to plan ahead for projects and set reminders months or even years from now if needed. I use the calendar view every day to plan my day and set priorities for what I must achieve in that day. Being able to look ahead at the rest of the week gives me a good idea of what’s is coming at me. Having been an avid user or Mindmaps it is great that this is now incorporated in the system, I use this each time I start a new project.

Nachteile:

I have no issues with Ayoa, it does all of the things that I need and has many useful features that I am sure I will use if I work with a bigger team.

Great for our small business

Kommentare: We've tested about every task management software there is and this was hands down the winner.

Vorteile:

Very intuitive to use for anyone. Can be very simple or as intricate as you need.

Nachteile:

Can't attach large files. Deleting a user who created tasks also deletes tasks they have created (not sure if this was updated—too afraid to try).

Original and Best: Mind Mapping as it should be done

Kommentare: Having Mind Mapped on paper for over twenty years before this product came along, I was already very comfortable with the discipline. This was the first digital product I tried, nearly ten years ago, and it still stands out head and shoulders above its rivals as a pure Mind Mapping product. Others may seem to align closely with certain disciplines (engineering or IT), but none delivers as consistently as iMindMap.

Vorteile:

iMindMap adheres more closely to Tony Buzan's original concept of mind-mapping as a discipline than any other rival I have tried. As, of course, it should. It is always intuitive and supports you seamlessly, especially if working on an ipad pro or similar large touch screen device.

Nachteile:

The more detailed branch selection tool can be fiddly to control now that so many options are available in the full menu, but the simple default options (line or narrative box) are usually sufficient. Also, particularly in touch screen mode, it can be way too easy to input a branch or sub-branch by accident, just brushing the screen. The "undo" key helps, but it can interrupt your flow when working quickly.

What it could have been

Kommentare: It has the potential of being the best mindmap app out there. the key reason for that it allows you to see the information in different ways, something most of its competitors are very limited in. I tested once, then did not buy, but a few weeks later tested it again and bought. It has certain distinct presentation advantages-nothing changed in those weeks, but I wanted the other features. I just really wish they would have done the job completely. The tweaks would be comparatively minor, but they would turn a good product into a great product. If they would do that, I would rate it number 1. Now, it's "what it could have been".

Vorteile:

I use several mind-mapping apps to lay out information. Imind gives you the ability to see information displayed in several ways, not just the traditional tree-branch style. You Canada see your info as a radial fan, note cards, and as connected bubbles. This is very helpful in seeing information from other perspectives.

Nachteile:

very limiting in certain aspects. color choices are limited, only pastels. rectangles or bubbles don't increase in size with added text, so text is divided incorrectly or not visible at all. example: the word "emotional" might appear as "emoti" within the bubble-and even if you click on it, it doesn't expand. "Brainstorm" and "Radial" correlate but not exactly. Example, drawing connections in Brainstorming do not appear in radial.

Ayoa keep me on top of my to do's

Kommentare: Before discovering Ayoa, I jumped from one app to the other because they just didn't suit me. It was frustrating and time-consuming to move every other month. Fortunately, my search ended two years ago. Now, I manage multiple client projects with ease through a system I built inside Ayoa using the top-notch features the app provides.

Vorteile:

Ayoa is flexible and easy to adapt to the way you work and want to manage tasks or projects.

Nachteile:

It's missing one feature that I'd love to have: recurring reminders.

Essential Accountability Tool

Kommentare: Accountability is a massive issue for all businesses. DropTask has been an easy and cheap solution to roll out across many different businesses and user types. It has improved our completion rate of tasks and greatly assisted in team buy-in and engagement.

Vorteile:

Droptask is so simple to use that it requires little to no training. The various visual representations of projects allows people to see their tasks in a format that works for them.

Nachteile:

Very happy with the product. Sometimes lose myself when scrolling in canvas layout.

Great for organizing long term tasks and projects

Kommentare: I use DropTask to organize tasks and projects, such as the ongoing home improvement project, an upcoming vacation, and other random things that need organization. I really enjoy having a web based place to find all of the things I need, and having the ability to assign things to other people really helps to keep things moving.

Vorteile:

Visual, drag and drop, and being able to use it on mobile devices allows me to view my tasks when I'm out and about. This makes it easy for me to remember things I need to grab when I'm out, or to organize my thoughts or add things on the go. Being able to log into DropTask from anywhere means that I can do what I need to do, when I need to do it.

Nachteile:

On the web browser, which is where I primarily use the product, the graphics are pretty big. That's generally a good thing, but I would really like the ability to create a simple list, that's small - one time per line, perhaps with a checkbox. I would also like the ability to "dumb down" the interface when I want to see more information at once - I want to shrink the width of the columns and I want to have smaller text that I can drag and drop with a mouse.

Visualize your ideas in an organized way and achieve the fulfillment of your tasks and projects.

Kommentare: I used this application with my team and is a different way of managing tasks, the dynamism of the drops is great and the application generates interest, but also that visual character facilitates to see the general dynamics of the management of tasks, even projects. Promote the development of your ideas and collaborative work

Vorteile:

Centralizes your team's workspace, but it can also be used as an individual workspace and task management. Upload files, assign tasks, set dates and schedule reminders, has service in the cloud for you to update information from any mobile device.

Nachteile:

Visualization in mobile devices is limited to large devices such as tablets, because in the cell phone can not appreciate well the main environment

Love Drop Task

Kommentare: Love this product and would absolutely suggest it for other business owners.

Vorteile:

I love the ease of use of working with drop task. I keep all of my open tasks and bring ups on drop task and have it as part of my daily routine.

Nachteile:

I have some fairly large canvases that I work in- with multiple circles etc. When I add or complete a task, the circles move and re-shuffle automatically. I find that annoying because then I need to pan out to find where I was on the page.

The best task management software I've ever used!

Kommentare: Exceptional. We've also had a demo with a team member called [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who was extremely helpful and gave us ideas on how to map out our task boards.

Vorteile:

It is a fantastic task management software. The taskboards have been revolutionary for us, the way we can onboard a new client. We used to have a simple spreadsheet to manage new client accounts. Since using Ayoa, not only has it saved us time but it has made us more organised and the whole team knows exactly what tasks they are assigned to. Game changer! We are also using it to map our own marketing strategy and our client's marketing strategy. There is still so much we could do on the system to make our life easier. Looking forward to seeing the new updates!

Nachteile:

It would be good to put taskboards into one category

wonderful tool

Kommentare: was good

Vorteile:

- tags option and flexibility in filtering the tasks - integrations with imindmap to create work program

Nachteile:

- unable to filter the projects per users ,, some time I need to no the projects that the person is engaged with in the case of leave or absence, I know it is possible to go and filter the tasks per person but overall is east to look at projects before go into tasks.
