I love Priority Matrix. Easy to use. Great value.
Peace of mind from knowing I have visibility of everything (even if that is sometimes a little overwhelming). It's also my single source of truth in terms of To Do's so when I start the day or week, I go to PM and I can pick up right where I left off.
PROSIt helps me ensure nothing gets missed and keeps me on track in terms of prioritising competing demands. I can see everything at a glance and it means no more scraps of paper.

Keep your tasks and Priorities Organized
I was assessing this for a client. It checked all the boxers and is a very powerful tool once one has a clear understanding of how it actually flows. For a larger organization, to fully realize the benefits of this tool, it would be pretty important to have someone become a SME and then assist others with design and configuration. Even with Priority Matrix can be a very valuable tool for companies both small and large.
PROSLots of flexibility for how to use Online 'guides/training' Integration
CONSIn order to really get real value one really need to understand how the product is designed to work and really take some extensive time to figure out how best to make use of many of the functions. The main 'screen/view' can be confusing to someone just trying the application.
Reason for choosing Priority Matrix
Customer is still in the process of deciding but in the end the decision is between Priority Matrix and another tool which is more streamlined, so perhaps a faster onboarding and ramp-up, but does not have many of the features, integration or customization options available in Priority Matrix.

ok program but requires a lot of imputes that take time that could be focused on working on project
ability to share real time. Other then that it duplicates other methods already being used that keep it simple.
PROSThat projects can be shared. Ability to attach emails and documents for future reference. Easy to maneuver in and make changes.
CONSIt becomes overwhelming with projects. You can not link projects to show up on you project in real time. It just creates a lot of work and takes a lot of time to keep updated. People start working for the process instead of having the process work for them. Actually in the big picture makes projects more complicated. needs integration with Lotus notes calendar.

I use Priority Matrix to organize my many, MANY to do lists
It increase my productivity and focus on a daily basis.
PROSIt gives me the ability to visually organize what I need to do. I use both the desktop version and the mobile version. The syncing between the two is nearly flawless.
CONSIt's not created for my use case (i.e., to do lists)! But it's flexible enough to meet my needs. I organize my to do lists around projects.

I love Priority Matrix and use it everyday.
It helps me manage all my to-dos and keeps me focused on the items that are most important. I have told many people about it.
PROSI love the matrix style and the ability to always have it up on my screen. It helps me organize all my small tasks that do not need to be in my project management software.
CONSI do not use it to its full potential by any means but it works for what I need. I do wish I knew more about what all its capabilities are. I also wish there was a phone app so I could add things when I am not by my computer.

Effective app with excellent support
The ability to effectively manage my day and prioritize my tasks.
PROSVery user friendly when you get used to it, highly effective for project and task management, makes you want to use the app, great integration features, and outstanding customer service.
CONSNot that i really think it is a con, but if i had to pick at least one, i would say it may have too many features. Well, i consider myself a power user, but then again i feel like i only have about a 20% utilization of its capabilities.

Priority Matrix streamlined the reporting process for my team and increased my own daily efficiency.
Valuable dashboard/heads-up-display for activities of myself and my team. Scheduling integration with Outlook for time-bound tasks. Running logs/news feeds for each task to avoid lengthy status updates.
PROSAction Issue/Item diaries/logging - this enable me to keep track of activity on a task without having a visible running log.
CONSI would like to be able to configure the UI to different formats for different types of product tracking. Sometimes the quadrant method isn't the best fit.

Priority Matrix Review...A Laboratory Perspective
The program has been an easy way to track multiple job/task progress throughout the day/week/month. At a quick glance it is helpful to have all users on the same page at the same time*(assuming accurate sync(s) between users). We have experienced sync issues which include: users not seeing what another user is seeing, job/task(s) disappearing, changes made and older versions of job/task reverting. With as many job/task as we create and complete each day, it is very tough to notice these sync issues. From a lab manager/coordinator stand point, I watch nearly all jobs/tasks and I cannot memorize or recall ALL the changes, etc to a single job out of the dozens being processed. That aside, we would love to have more useful analytics available; currently our President does not see the usefulness of current analytics available with the Business or upgraded service ($$$/effectiveness ratio). No export into spreadsheet form offers no relief from having to use this software itself for those purposes. I understand not having that option may steer potential clients of your software toward NOT getting the upgraded service(s), but I believe it would actually increase the number of potential clients wanting to use it for purposes similar to ours. Less programming on your team's part, while still giving your clients the option to use your software catered to their own needs in a spreadsheet form. Additional features/options in "query"/search/filter methods would be very helpful as well. Short of processing in a spreadsheet form, this would allow someone to "manually" pull user data from our company. There is no "undo" feature in your software, as well as, other common commands/features offered in many of the other software/programs users are familiar with. Having an "Archive Shell" would be amazing, as we have many jobs/tasks completed and needing to be thinned out of the "View - All Items" filter. The "archive shell" could act as an easy way for users to save jobs/tasks completed in a non-editing mode of the program, to be viewed if needed. Currently, we have one quadrant serving as our "Archive" for each given project. We are pleased with our customer support and appreciate the help this software offers to our organization/communication/operations. I don't know how much we pay for these services, so I can't speak of the "Value for Money" rating. I do really feel that this software is close to being a 4+star in each category with the right advancements.
PROSQuick access to jobs/tasks, especially with the "Ctrl+F"/search function.
CONSCan't export/pull data for manipulation in a spreadsheet.

Good Task Organiser - Different From Others
I've tried lots of different task managers over the years but the only one I still use every day is Priority Matrix. It is different to others in that each project is divided into four areas, you can put pretty much whatever you like in any of these areas. I run an ecommerce business and find that this layout works really well for managing our day to day tasks. The software looks a bit dated in some respects but it works really well and is pretty easy to customise to our exact needs. There seem to be a lot of features which we don't really use as the basic functionality works well for my needs. Syncing between a PC, iPad and iPhone also works well 95% of the time, occasionally there is the odd sync issue but this is not a major problem really. The iOS apps work well, they sometimes log you out but logging back in is fairly painless, it would be nice if they never logged you out though. Actually using the iOS apps to manage your tasks is really easy, as is creating and editing new and existing projects. Pricewise it's not cheap, but not really that expensive either, there are some great task managers that are free, however, I have no issue paying as it fits my needs to perfectly.
PROS4 box / areas layout, good iOS apps.
CONSLooks a bit dated, iOS apps occasionally log you out.

I find this a useful and easy to use way of organizing my things to do lists
Less stress, more organisation
PROSI like the Eisenhower grid the best, and particularly that it is easy to swap items between places, taking it off the active list without deleting it altogether, for example, when I job is not finished, but I am unable for some reason to action it at this time. I also like th master list, which helpps me focus on the matters in hand
CONSAt present moving items between projects is tricky. Itens move from one to the adjacent grid, sometimes, accidentally which is annoying - I feel either it would be better for items simply not to move at all between grids, or be more controllable. The adjancent gid is not necessarily where an item needs to go. This could benefit from a little work

PM in biotech product development
I use PM in my personal and professional life. It's a great tool to minimize meetings, track tasks in real time, and communicate with a team in one space. It's biggest value is to be able to have one location to communicate (in real time and from anywhere) with a team, track progress of tasks, and even share documents. I like being able to import emails right from Outlook and to upload documents to projects. One of the biggest values of PM is time-saving! A lot of time doesn't have to spent arranging meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page-that can all be accomplished from one tool! Another key feature is all the options for reporting out on the projects. The calendars and gant charts make reporting the progress of projects much easier and much more complete than trying to compile info from many team members.
PROSAll the functional capability in one location.
CONSSome people that I've trained on how to use find the functions difficult to navigate.

I wouldnt work the way I do without PM.
The thing that I like most is having all tasks in front of me, backed up to the cloud. Once a task is recorded, it wont be complete until I mark it as done, so I will never forget to do something that been asked of me. I don't have to worry about losing a piece of paper or diary with my to-do list inside, its all saved to my account.
CONSWith a relatively full list of items, the mobile app is cluttered to the point that I dont use it while I am out and about. I think it would benefit from a different layout option to the desktop app as it has a much smaller screen size to work with. The desktop app could be more beautiful too.

We have been using Priority Matrix for over 6 years now and it just keeps getting better.
Our company runs on Priority Matrix for all our project and task management.
PROSWe like everything about this software. Our company and team have used the "4 quadrant concept" even before we started using Priority Matrix, so it was really a perfect match.
CONSThere's nothing we don't like about the software. But, if we could suggest an improvement, it would be an easier way to "undo" actions or go back to review previous versions of the tasks.

The most powerful Eisenhower matrix app
After trying out many productivity and task apps and management systems out there, I have finally found the perfect solution. Priority Matrix allows one to divide project tasks by priority, which in my eyes is key to efficiency and efficacy. Gone are the days of being busy all day long without really moving the needle forward. Priority Matrix constantly reminds one (in a good way) to work on the most important and urgent tasks first. I love that I can look at my unfinished tasks in many different views: by quadrant, by due date (overdue/due today/due this week etc.), and also in my Mac and iOS calendars.
PROS- the many different ways one is able to look at their pending tasks: by due date (overdue/due today/due this week), on iOS or Mac calendar, etc.
CONS- visual design not overly appealing - Gantt chart view should be accessible without having to upgrade to Business class.
