In order to get an understanding of the comparison “ Google task list vs. SharePoint task list ” and feel the difference between both products, the following factors need to be considered:
- Multi-platform. Google task list management means using a web browser and personal Gmail account to access online services for managing tasks and calendars. SharePoint task list management means using SharePoint technology to manage tasks in MS Outlook software. You can use your gmail account to access your agendas from PC (and laptop) or mobile device, while Outlook SharePoint lets you use only PC and laptop to access your tasks.
- Security and privacy. If you use Google application , you have to admit that all your private and business information is saved on remote web servers that you do not have full access to. Meanwhile, MS Outlook allows storing private and business information locally on corporate servers. Also you get permissions system to allow or deny employees of your organization to access particular tasks, contacts and schedules.

- Functionality and features. Calendar in Google is simple enough, even though it allows scheduling tasks and creating task calendars. Task list in Google calendar does not have advanced features for managing projects – only features for planning and scheduling todo lists are available. As to MS Outlook solution, it has powerful todo management tool features to plan, execute, track and report projects. At the same time, Outlook does not feature SharePoint task list workflow system, however many users need such a system.

Taking into account the listed differences and other factors that haven’t been described in this article, the following considerations can be made:
- Task list in SharePoint is designed for managing tasks and projects that require powerful functionality for group collaboration and information sharing. It will be best for managing project activities and tasks in small- and medium-sized organizations. However, lack of SharePoint task list Outlook workflow systems makes MS Outlook less attractive to people who look for advanced software solutions for task/project management.
- Task list Google will be best for people who need a web-based todo list management system that may have some simple multi-user features (such as task list Google docs system). Google task list application is convenient for employees and managers who prefer combining mobile devices and desktop computers (and laptops) to manage todo lists, calendars and tasks.
