Questions for LeaderTask users

Hi Ken -

I agree that their product differentiation on BDJ is really confusing. There are three “LeaderTasks” on BDJ, and I believe this is caused by them having named the offer in question differently each time. The one I originally got a as a free lifetime (non-updating) version was at http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/leaderTask-Daily-Planner.

I see some other people have mentioned Malwarebytes on the BDJ thread. I don’t use MWB, but I use Avast as my desktop AV, and Avast hasn’t had any issues with it. Thist is just an FYI datapoint….

Likewise, their versioning info is also quite confusing as you’ll see references to LeaderTask, LeaderTask Expert, etc. As best I can determine:
- The LeaderTask version for $34 listed on BDJ at http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/leaderTask-Daily-Planner is a fully functioning version without the synch services;
- The “Expert” version offered on their site for $59 at http://www.leadertask.com/en/buy is a version that includes one year of the synch services and one year of updates.
- There’s also a “company box” version designed for licensing across a company based on the number of employees (http://help.leadertask.com/license-agreement/10-license-agreement-for-leadertask-company-management).

One of the problems they have is that their product info is spread across sites with different URL’s. For example, going to http://www.leadertask.com provides a different site than another URL they own: http://www.leadercommand.com. And it’s on http://www.leadercommand.com that you’ll find some basic info on the cloud service and Azure (http://www.leadercommand.com/content/view/248/465/). They really need to spend some time on website consolidation and content alignment. Clear differentiation of product versions on their site is another need. Their current site is less than helpful, and it certainly doesn’t help their business model. I believe the biggest contributor to the situation is their being an eastern European company, and the English portions of the site are not getting perhaps the same level of attention to detail. It’s too bad, because the lack of content organization (and MWB warnings) can potentially result in some users walking away from this gem….
