Avis kanban tool
Comments: It is very useful software for any company and collective work. With the tables that the application has, I manage several tasks and projects at the same time. These graphs allow me to realize and monitor the performance of my colleagues.
Pros:
It is very useful software for any company and collective work. With the tables that the application has, I manage several tasks and projects at the same time. These graphs allow me to realize and monitor the performance of my colleagues.
Cons:
I haven't found any disadvantages for this software. I've been using it for almost a year without any problem.
I am very happy with this product
Comments: The customer service has been exceptional! I really appreciate that. I am excited to utilize the product more fully as I grow
Pros:
The customizability is my favorite part. Especially all the background design choices. I picked a colorful picture of succulents and made all my task colors match the plants. I enjoy looking at the board and that's nice since I look at it all day
Cons:
I would love to be able sort by my chosen criteria and have it always sort by that but they chose to go with the traditional way a Kanban board works. I can respect that. I can still sort them by my preferred criteria so I don't mind
Early days of managing my personal "me do" backlog while I take a career break
Pros:
For my current use, it had basic features available for free. The application was seamlessly accessible via browser and the mobile app. Must-have features worked with no issue at all.
Cons:
For now, nothing comes to mind as I've been using the free version. I hope to access additional features in the coming weeks so that I have a better 'story' to tell about my completed stories and I can share my board with my partner.
Kanban the task tracker
Comments: Overall it was very efficient to track the tasks and accomplishments on quaterly basis
Pros:
UI was rich and usable, it is efficient in tracking the tasks assigned and update status
Cons:
Looks clumsy and not user friendly compared to jira or other tools
Kanban Tool
Comments: I've found the Kanban Tool effective for organizing our business and also my personal processes. It allows team to work on multiple boards with proper access protections. The single sign-on ensures easy authentication and login. Full control over columns, card types, and templates makes each board uniquely suited to its needs. The optional Power-Ups add useful capabilities with complete control for each board.
Pros:
Using a Kanban Tool board greatly increases our project execution productivity and streamlines our team. This visual, easy-to-use tool is effective for managing projects and tasks, and users adapt quickly. However, having used other tools, I'm not particularly impressed with this one despite its affordability. We are still testing the product and will consider if we will use it in future.
Cons:
At the moment, I can't identify any cons.
the best tool for organization
Comments: This year I was looking for a tool to organize all my courses, and I found this one. I really love this tool because it's very useful. I noticed that I improved considerably in organization, and I believe I can say that I obtained better grades by putting absolutely everything I had to do on it. It's a great tool for students.
Pros:
I love the simplicity of the platform. It's very useful if you don't want to spend time figuring out how to use every tool. I really appreciate it, and I also find the aesthetics very comfortable. I organize my university courses with it, and it's very useful to put all my tasks with dates so I don't forget them.
Cons:
There aren't many tools to change the color of the tables and the background.
Best tool for task planning and task management
Comments: It has become a must in my daily job. I can't stay without it
Pros:
The easy to use interface, the appeareance, the variety of tools available. It is one of the most useful tools for organizing my job.
Cons:
There is no space for update the process of a task, appart from comments (which are not visible at first glance) or check lists.
Kanban for Construction
Comments: Excellent use for a visual aid to assist with knowing where each job is at in the process.
Pros:
The Kanban Board helps us to visualize all of our upcoming construction projects and helps give us a snapshot on what job it is, where it is, what notes we have on the job, what the anticipated start date is, etc. This has been a very valuable tool!
Cons:
Nothing so far, I enjoy how easy it is to use and to train others.
Alternatives Considered:
Kanban tool improved onboarding!
Comments: Kanban tool has made our onboarding experience much better.
Pros:
Multiple swim lanes Customizable fields Feature rich Importing and exporting cards/data with drag and drop ease Customer service quick responses
Cons:
Dates required to be yyyy-mm-dd format only
Simple and efficient
Pros:
Kanban Tool offers everything a kanban should have, in a simple and intuitive interface
Cons:
The customization options are a little difficult to find
Kanban Tool helps me be more efficient
Comments: I currently manage 2.5 programs and always have lots to do (tasks big and small). Kanban tool helps me keep what needs to be done, what’s in progress, and what’s complete in order.Also, it’s a great collaboration/reporting tool to use with others. Thanks to Kanban Tool, I can more easily identify gaps and direct my energy/effort in the places that need it most
Pros:
Ease of use, intuitiveness, and the ability to see what I have to do all at once. It’s ingenious, simple, and effective.
Cons:
I have no cons to report; for how I use the software, it satisfies all my needs.
Alternatives Considered:
Excellent Light-to-Medium Weight Tool
Comments: I love this tool. It's exactly what I need, and customization is a breeze. If you're new to task boards and/or have a smaller, simpler team or workflows, start with this before you dive into the deep end with Atlassian or other products, especially if your focus is more on "seeing the big picture" than keeping a detailed log of work across a large number of team members
Pros:
It does everything I need from a Kanban Board out of the box, does so intuitively, and does not get bogged down in optimizations/extra features. However, if you want them, they're easy to implement.
Cons:
It feels more like it was designed and documented by engineers rather than sales staff, and its no-frills design is a big selling point for me, but others may disagree. It's "simple out of the box, opt-in to additional features" also means a little more upfront configuration, but I still think it's good design. A few minor nice-to-have features (colored tags, saving multiple filtered views) might be missing or paywalled, but I haven't explored all the possibilities in their documentation yet.
Excellent
Comments: I can't believe how user friendly Kanban Tool is. We have used the physical Kanban board in the past, but using it online is great when one of us is offsite, we can easily check or add to our boards.
Pros:
Having completed the Agile Foundation Course a few years ago, the Kanban Tool was a real find. It is quick, effective and good use of both our time. We have a quick 'stand-up' every day to look at the board and what each of us have added. We love the fact it is easy to move tasks around, add check lists, due dates and new boards and assign tasks to each other.
Cons:
It may just be a feature I haven't discovered, but I would like to make the actual board wider across the page.
Alternatives Considered:
Nice, simple looking Kanban Tool with a strong and comprehensive feature set.
Comments: After a short onboarding and testing phase due to good help files it was very satisfying having that tool up and running.
Pros:
Workflow management - did not see that flexible way in other Kanban tools.
Cons:
Sometimes I would like to change the font in tile headers.
Great Project Tracking Tool!
Comments: I am very pleased with this and have asked the [sensitive content hidden]of the company to keep this on permanently.
Pros:
Very easy to use and work through. I especially like that you can personalize so much on it, even the background image.
Cons:
The only suggestion I have is adding a simple total for each column so you can visually see how many projects are left in each stage.
Very simple to use and intuitive
Comments: It's great to follow up on all tasks and to remind you to take action about them.
Pros:
It is a very useful tool for us to use daily
Cons:
I didn't find on the website the differences between each plan. I wasn't able to find that information.
Customise to Suit
Comments: We now have visibility and tracking on the process. KPIs are measurable. Steps and responsibilities are clear.
Pros:
Kanban Tool has the flexibility to suit an incredibly wide range of uses. Can be used to track teamwork, process task management, or project developments, as best suits the user's needs.
Cons:
The formatting and loading of initial information for our use, was straightforward but time consuming. It's now maintainable as part of the workflow.
Helpful Tool for Task Management!
Pros:
I love the drag and drop feature - helps a ton with work flow management and feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Cons:
I wish that the tool automatically archived tasks that were complete.

Kanban Tool Review
Comments: Overall, Kanban tool is an incredibly useful tool for managing projects and I find it a great help in my work.
Pros:
Kanban Tool is an incredibly useful tool for project management. I particularly liked its ability to visualize tasks and the progress of a project. The visual cards on the board make it easy to see which tasks have been completed, who is working on a task and what tasks are coming up in the future. I also like the ability to create custom boards and prioritize tasks. It makes it easy to clearly see the progress of a project and what needs to be done to complete it. The notifications also keep me up to date with the progress of a project which is really helpful. I also find the collaboration features easy to use and they help to keep everyone on the same page
Cons:
Honestly, I haven’t found anything I have disliked about Kanban Tool.
Great tool for task management and project workflow
Pros:
I like that my tasks can be tracked at every stage of the project there are features to add files or attachments within each card
Cons:
Should be able to send email when a card is assigned in kanban

Keeping it simple supports better productivity
Comments: I enjoy using Kanban Tool to keep my day easily prioritized as well as see what other tasks need attention.
Pros:
Very intuitive features enabled me to get started quickly and it's extremely easy to customize what you only want to see, without being overburdened by too many bells and whistles that would distract from doing actual work. I really like the emailed work summary of how I have interacted with the board each day.
Cons:
It's very easy to add too many work tasks on the board because I don't know what is really needed. I'd be interested if the tool can help me become more accountable in making progress on only the highest priorities, which is sometimes difficult if I don't have a real due date. I'll also try using some of the available board filters.

Alternatives Considered:
The best tool for project management and task management.
Comments: This is the best tool I can find for the task I wanted to achieve in my organization. We don't really use this as Project Management, rather we use it as Todo List for employees and the Kanban Board makes provides swimlanes which we assign to employees and they can add their tasks and prioritize them. This tool has been a great help to our daily task management.
Pros:
- Clean and minimal UI - Card types - Kanban Board and its live updates
Cons:
- No option to white label - No option to add email notification if a task is added for me
Easy to start, use and at least one very important USP
Pros:
You can start really easy and grow while using. The Setup is made very fast and the Powerups helps to not overload your Board. But the most useful feature which I didn't find anywhere else so far is, that you can show the ToDo-List of every card in the Board from the Beginning (always on). You don't need to expand it every time you want to look whats to do. Great feature! Hint: Check the PowerUps in Settings!
Cons:
You have to take care how much Cards you pin to the board becaus it can get look overloaded fast. The missing of "EPIC" leads to use Swimlines as Epic (which works surprisingly good), but makes the board big in some cases. In General, Dependencys between the Cards can be created and Cards can be linked, but there is no visible Dependency on the Board itself (f.e. cards in cards ore somethind like that). On the other side, this is a good opportunity to not over-administrate your work ;-)

Great tool to help me keep track of the progress of my projects
Pros:
It makes keeping track of progress super easy, and the visuals are simple, no overcluttered design.
Cons:
I cant think of anything, everything has been working fine

A great jump for Kanban boards online
Comments: Using the trial version lets you play around with all the features for 15 days, plus someone from Kanban Tool's team wrote to me to be by my side in case I needed some guidance. Multi-language support is also available and cross app implementation (including a mobile version for Android an iOS) makes it a very rich and powerful tool.
Pros:
Implementing Kanban boards on any industry not only helps improving time, resources and making life easier... If you know how to implement them. It's not that troublesome and thats what is great about this tool, finally a version online that is easily editable and adapted to your project needs is at your fingertips. No wonder why so many great companies are among their clients.
Cons:
It's a little pricey for the small project manager but for bigger and more ambitious managers is this worth every penny.
