TaskMerlin Reviews and Testimonials

"Thanks for the great application! Of all the to-do list / PIM apps I've tried, TaskMerlin is by far the best at accommodating my organizational style."

"Just wanted you to know that I appreciate all your support and that I have registered the Professional Version this morning. This is a fine program, it supports the GTD method yet allows the user to apply their own personality to the process."

"I thought you may appreciate the following feedback regarding your Task Merlin v2 product, that I have been running on evaluation and have just purchased. I have been evaluating 6 different project/task management software packages, as I was finding that the Excel/Outlook combination I was using resulted in lots of manually written notes spread around my desk. After spending the last month testing each software package, I found that your solution is by far the best and easiest to use for what I am trying to achieve - which is why I have now purchased full licences."

"I am, every day, relying more and more on TaskMerlin to manage our projects, and it is making life a lot easier. ... It is a wonderful product, we could not live without it."

"By the way, I personally have been searching for the last year on a program to help organize this crazy industry we are in. I did extensive research and spent uncounted hours trying to find something that was user-friendly for our guys in the shop as well as something we could customize. I don't have the words to even say how excited I was to find this. I can't wait to work more with this program and get it customized to our needs. I really believe you could market this to the printing and graphics industry ... This is perfect. Thanks - Aimee"

"This is the most wonderful project/task management system I could ever have hoped to find !! I have downloaded loads of demo versions and trials of other systems and tried various web-based systems and found them all either too simple or too complicated and most totally lacking in true usability. Well done and many thanks for a great and sensibly-priced product."

"After using your product, please accept my congratulations for its high quality. I am using your product on my main pc system and laptop as well. Your product definitely excels over other high-quality project management tools, for its simplicity and high-efficiency, including Microsoft Project. It maybe needs more advertisement, so everyone knows about it."

"Absolutely love the software, it has already become indispensable to me! I have been looking for better task management software for so long I'd given up, so I can't tell you how happy I am to have found Task Merlin."

"There are many tools out there that do a lot of good life cycle management. There are very few tools that do well at Manager management. In other words, a tool that helps managers organize and track the ungodly amount of work that comes with management. You guys built a tool that is exactly what was in my head from a "I wish I had tool that does X". Great job! I love this tool. It makes me look like I know what the hell is going on all the time. LOL, if they only knew."

"I purchased Taskmerlin on my past job to coordinate with my team and it worked great!"

"One of the most flexible tools I have ever used. Pros: TaskMerlin is the most flexible product I could want. The built in categories, task type, status, priority and impact are completely customizable for my needs. The large list of task types helps me to organize me project more effectively. ... Basically, I have been using TaskMerlin for several years, and have searched and tried other task managers. TaskMerlin continues to provide the best organization of my tasks and projects, without needing several classes, like other products. Task Merlin starts when I need it in the morning and can stay out of the way when I am busy. It is the first thing I open, and the last item I close."

"Exceptional Small Project/Task Solution. Pros: Dollar-for-Dollar, Unparalleled!!!"

"An easy to use product that does exactly what it claims. Pros: Very easy to use and intuitive. I had been looking for a simple task manager to help me in my new job and this is ideal. It is not over complicated but has a lot of powerful features if you wish to use them. ... Summary: I work in education and constantly have a lot of tasks ongoing. TaskMerlin lets me manage these easily and without needing to spend a lot of time learning the program. I would recommend it to anyone with a busy schedule who wants to record what they are working on and get reminders for actions. Exactly what I was looking for!"

"Keep up the great work! ... I think you've got a wonderful piece of software here. As a software developer myself I can see how much thought has gone into it. I absolutely love the way you have approached the problem using folders and tasks. A stroke of genius :-)"

"TaskMerlin is a hierarchical task, project, and note outliner with a lot of attention to detail ... TaskMerlin does GTD and Total, Relaxed Organization."

"This is a perfect solution to actually getting things done. I have tried numerous solutions that provide task and project management. This is the most effective, most complete solution I have tested--managed accomplishment without unnecessary, confounding complexities."

"Very impressed with your software and service... What is great about your product is that it is offers plenty without being too complex, can be used by office folk as it reminds them of folder / Outlook layout they are used to and is very cost effective. Well done."

"I have reviewed a number of task managers and yours is by far the best I have ever used. I think that you have a good approach to developing a task manager."

"btw... great application! I am impressed with the variety of information the application can store... I have used it to keep reference material that comes in digitally and have used it to take notes for a meeting having to do with a project."

"By the way, I'm impressed with your software. I've been in the software industry for 12+ years and think you've done a great job here. I've been looking for a good task manager for years and have finally found one!"

"Thank you very much for the fast and thorough support! ... Very glad I decided to purchase your software - largely because of the incredibly fast and efficient support I've received! Thanks again!"

"After all the task management software we tried, TaskMerlin has been a lifesaver for our business."

"Thank you for such a timely response! I must say, I am in love with TaskMerlin! It is exactly what I have been looking for. ... Once again, thanks for your time and your amazing work put into TaskMerlin! The sky is the limit with this software."

"After trying and using several task and GTD tools over a few years I have finally found the one that has all the key features! TaskMerlin must have been listening to my wish list before I even found them on the internet :). The flexibility to define hierarchical tasks, customize several attributes including Context, Document Types, Status, Priority, Importance, and use the ability custom filters, allows me to implement GTD and the 7 Habits in exactly the way that works for me. I have copies moving between the office and home, and I can print it out if on the go. My next step is to get my team onto the Server version. Thank you TaskMerlin! Keep it up."

"First of all, congratulations on a great product (TaskMerlin). I have tried up to 15 of the current offerings and to be honest, not one of them has a true understanding of minor project or task management, or cater for simple tasks that can turn into minor projects. Another aspect is the management of those tasks, e.g. email reminders of what is due etc. Again your product seems to be on top of this. I was getting so frustrated, that I was prepared to put the time in and write it myself. It appears that I don't have to now. Your product is Absolutely brilliant!!!"

"I love this app, it was exactly what I was looking for. It was like you wrote it for me."

"I am really enjoying this program. For the price it is amazing! And being able to put it on my thumb drive and take from home to work and back again - Thank you!"

"After landing a new job last year that required lots of multi-tasking I reviewed a number of management systems and decided to purchase TaskMerlin. A year on and I don't think I could have survived without it! I've just changed laptops and based on previous experience with moving s/w was expecting problems - not with TaskMerlin! It downloaded, recognised my licence details and it is up and running again. I work in education and would recommend TaskMerlin without hesitation to any other teacher or school manager!"

"Congratulations on an excellent application. I have just finished comparing 31 task manager applications and have found yours to be a near perfect fit."

"Love the product, excellent interface, well written and very comprehensive."

"I recently purchased TaskMerlin V2.0.0.9 Personal Edition and it is the most-used application on my laptop on a daily basis. I rely heavily on it to help me manage and prioritize literally hundreds of concurrent tasks and projects in my occupation. Thank you!!!"

"Hello, I’m writing to tell you how much I love your product. As a senior technical writer for a credit reporting agency who maintains over 100 technical specs a year, I’ve long desired a good task management tool to help me keep track of my deliverables and resources ... When I downloaded Task Merlin, I was immediately impressed with the way its inherent structure (existing doc types and other attributes) blended so well with its flexibility. ... I now use the product for both my personal-business and my work files. (It’s an easy switch between databases.) I’ve been using the product since the first of the year, and I am now completely dependent on it to manage my life. I’m even thinking of keeping my journal in it! The product is also a joy to use. ... Thank you so much for creating Task Merlin. You have solved many a task-management problem for me."

"This is by far the ONLY task management software on the market that has come close to a complete solution. The fact that you integrate project management style framework with GTD-type functionality is what I have been looking for. ... This is a great product that is far superior to a lot of the more "well-known" ones on the market. Good job."
