Cardboard is a super simple application that does what it sets out to do well. It's easy to use and very clean for people to follow along with.

I love the ease of adding cards up on the board and the software. Helps with project management.

Jira integration is awful, mostly didn't work, and can only have two colors of cards.

The simplicity of the boards are fantastic and have caused several others in my company to adopt the product as well.

I loved how well it accomplished its core feature set. It was as close to the perfect solution to the kind of tool I was looking for for the specific tasks I was doing at the time.

Nice application to help out at the start ofthe project. Anytime I had questions, Customer care was super fast and effective.

It was a tremendous help during or Sprite Zero. Thank you for an awesome product.

I found his top helped a lot when complex project plans were too much for my team to bear. This helps to visualize in an easy to understand format and got positive feedback from the team.

There was a lot of multi-select drag and dropping of all other cards to fill the extra column rather than it disappearing once empty.

Unable to copy/paste content - makes it frustrating.

It was a great tool for storymapping for our company. It was an easy sell to have the business purchase it due to the low cost.

I enjoy how easy it is to use. The dev team has integrated great features over the years.

I liked that there was a free trial for the product.

So easy to share with others, make changes, and easily add notes for a card that should be investigated.

It did have TFS integration, which I wanted. I also loved the whole premise of a virtual board for doing story mapping with a remote team.

Lack of connectors (or arrows) in between boxes.

When it comes to project planning, mapping, solutions, and tracking, it's hard to find a program with ALL the bells and whistles so the free trial is helpful.

Clean design, easy to use. There is an integration with Jira, but I didnt used yet.

The user story mapping is quick to learn and easy to use. Support is great as well.

Really easy to use, helps keep everything running efficiently.

The VSTS failing to sync the backlogs was a deal breaker for me.

Limited features, limited visual customization.

Limited integrations and some weird behavior when you go beyond the basic use cases.

I work in a large enterprise so adding users individually was a bit of a pain and it was challenge to move users from regular viewer to user or admin roles on multiple boards.

Story maps are easy to create and edit, and the support team is very responsive and helpful.

Many different integration points to bring data in from external systems. You can pick up and start to use this product without almost no training.

Meisterplan is a great tool to streamline your complete resource management and save you lots of planning hours and avoid misunderstandings.

What an amazing product for doing portfolio profiling.

Very easy to use, integration of Excel projects fast and simple, outstanding personal support.

Superb interactive Project Management and Portfolio & Ressource Management.

In general this is a particularly difficult software to get started with when you are dealing with multiple team members with varied experience levels with enterprise-level software.

A lot of costs and also supported an efficient resource management.

Ease of use, easy to setup if internal processes are prepared beforehand. Very good customer support.

Systematically it was essentially turn-key and customer support was some of the most direct and highest quality that I have ever received.

Meisterplan was designed to help PMO's and resource managers to find the best fit in the project portfolio. The software is easy to use and as a SaaS solution easy to implement.

It's super easy to use, has an intuitive interface and many interfaces to exisiting planning tools so you do not need to enter data twice.

Complex and detailed interface that is extremely useful once you get the hang of it. I also appreciate the affordable cost of this product.

Currently no possibility to change basic data inside the system natively. You have to take an import-xls and re-import changes.

Complex and well-rounded software at a good value.

A great way to follow total project and also each tasks. Easy to follow up with teammates and could help you to get success on the project.

Great solution for business strategy alignment.

If you operate staffing for an agency you'll know that it can be difficult to determine exactly how many people of any given role you'll need 3-6-12 months out.

Thanks to the simplicity of the product and its excellent usability the Project Portfolio Process PPM was wholistically optimized and strategic decisioning for projects ensured.

This service was easy and simple to manage my mutiple tasks. It help me build up my multi-tasking ability.

We ever wonder where we lost time in our projects.
