Features	8.5 Diigo offers basic features for a highlighter and bookmarking tool. It works well and we were able to highlight most websites and they were recreated when revisiting them. The highlighter popup makes it easy to highlight text offering 4 colors. It looks like this: We would have wished to have more color options. Also, note-taking and the tagging functionality are working, but its design does not look appealing. The dashboard where your highlights are stored works well and gives you an overview of all your highlights.	9.5 In our tests, Toggle Track was found to have a diverse set of features suitable for both individuals and teams. The time tracking function is straightforward and allows users to start and stop it via a button. We were particularly impressed with how detailed the reporting function is. It gives you detailed insights into your productivity and time management to help you improve your efficiency. Integrating with other applications, such as Notion or Todoist, is also very useful. This is a particular advantage, as processes from other programs can also be integrated, which is not possible with Toogl Tracker itself. Finally, it should be emphasized how Toggl specializes in larger teams and companies. With the team management functions, seamless collaboration is possible, where you can always see how much time and effort has already gone into a project.
Performance	8.0 Diigo performs well in terms of highlighting and syncing across devices. The fact that highlights are always synchronized can cause some loading delays. It's not as fast as other highlighters that use an offline-first approach, but it works reasonably well. However, the unreliable link creation feature and the simple sidebar outliner design need improvement.	8.0 In our tests, Toggl Track worked reliably and without any major technical problems on various platforms. However, some users reported occasional synchronization problems when switching between devices in the reviews. The automatic start of time tracking also worked well, only an automatic stop, e.g. when closing the browser, would be desirable. In our test, the timer continued to run for hours because the task was forgotten to end when the browser was closed.
Design	7.0 The design fulfills its functionality. The design of Diigo is outdated and could use a modern refresh. The lack of a nice overview of all your highlights on the page itself means you have to open the dashboard on diigo.com instead. The dashboard on diigo.com is okay, but other highlighters like Web Highlights have a much nicer user interface.	8.3 The design of Toggl Track with its basic functions is clear and intuitive. The dashboard is well organized and provides quick access to the most important functions. When users get to the advanced features, the design could be a little more self-explanatory. It is currently a little confusing and users have to find their way around first.
Value for Money	8.0 The free version of Diigo offers basic features and is fine for most users. The paid plans are reasonably priced and similar to other highlighters. However, we think other highlighters offer more value for the same price.	8.0 Toggl Track offers a free plan with basic features. If you only want to track your time and only do this on your own, you get a good time-performance ratio here. However, if you want to use additional functions such as detailed analyses, the premium plans are necessary. For many who only want to use it as a time management tool, the price will probably put them off. If you need and use all the functions, the price-performance ratio with the comprehensive functions and integrations is perfect. For teams and companies, the investment can also be justified by the productivity gains and insights offered.
Ease of Use	7.8 Diigo is fairly easy to use, but the sidebar outliner takes some time to get used to. You can't see all your highlights on the page itself, so you have to go to the dashboard on diigo.com. We wish there was a sidebar to quickly access all our highlighted pages, like in the Web Highlights extension.	7.0 The Installation and use of the basic functions are very intuitive. No user should have any problems tracking their times here. However, if users want to use the advanced functions, they will need to think a lot about it and take some time to understand everything. There is still room for improvement here so that every user can use them straight away.
Security & Privacy	7.5 Diigo takes reasonable steps to protect user data. However, since you need an account and your data is stored in their database, absolute protection can't be guaranteed. We think a highlighter should work without needing to sign up, but this feature is missing in Diigo.	8.7 Toggl Track protects user data with standard encryption to protect information and offers options for two-factor authentication. The data protection guidelines are transparent so that everyone can read how their data is handled. The only point deduction is that it would be desirable to be able to control which data authorizations you want to assign yourself. This is also evident from user reviews.
Conclusion	Diigo is a handy tool for collecting stuff from the web, like bookmarks, highlights, and notes. It’s a good deal with its premium plans, but the old-fashioned design and limited highlight colors might be a turn-off. If you want something that looks nicer and offers more customization, check out alternatives like Web Highlights.	Toggl Track is a reliable tool for both individuals and teams who want to improve their time management. Its comprehensive functions make it an indispensable tool, especially for advanced users. However, the standard user might be a little overwhelmed at first. While it stands out for its numerous integrations, some users might find the price a little too high. Overall, Toggl Track offers good value for money for anyone who can handle its numerous functions.
