Kanban Tool user of 5 years

My overall experience has been good, quick setup, customization, and the support group was very responsive to any challenges I experienced with the product.

PROS

When I became a project manager, I originally discovered Kanban Tools and wanted a visual way of tracking small sub-projects with short life cycles. It was easy to set up and adjust to the project's demands.

CONS

Today, I can't think of any cons, as most of them have been worked out. However, I will suggest more ideas to improve Kanban Tools with continued use.

Reason for choosing Kanban Tool

Kanban Tools met my primary goal of visual tracking with the flexibility to adjust the tasks boxes and swim lanes.

Reasons for switching to Kanban Tool

Excel was just too rigid and non-visual. My engineering colleagues were using Excel to track tasks of a project that I despise.

Excellent Light-to-Medium Weight Tool

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.

Reason for choosing Kanban Tool

Free out of the box use of swimlanes, expand/collapse swimlanes and columns, easy filters, splitting columns into sub-columns, expanding width of columns to be more than 1-card wide, etc. A lot of the clever visualization ideas I've seen in books like "Making Work Visible" and "Personal Kanban" are possible here that would be impossible or a nightmare to configure in other products I've tried.

Best Kanban Tool

PROS

This is such a fantastic tool! Things are going really great so far. I use it for my work as a Delivery Manager to organize ERP Support cases. This is so far the best Kanban software that I have ever used.

CONS

The best thing about it is the simplicity, powerful embedded features, and time logging capabilities.
