It sends you a ridiculous number of emails. Every little change made to a task or board is emailed to you - even if you did it.

Not particularly pretty but it's enough to manage what you need. I don't know how much my company paid for it or it's limitations but it's useful for now.

But if there was a change, it can get confusing. I'm not a heavy user but I do keep up with the projects listed.

Shows a good birds-eye view of where you team it. Parent cards and child cards help track projects across different boards.

This is a great solution that is very powerful and easy to use. We use KANBAN and this integrates well for our team.

Link to other systems (ticketing systems, etc). Very good visual representation and good for collaboration.

I like its approach with the drag and drop with color coding and make it smart to understand the nuance of the business.

Overall I am impressed and love the clean look to this software. It is simple and user friendly.

Easy to use and setup boards. If you use kanban for your development seems to be a good tool.

This isn't often, but when it does happen it can be frustrating.

LeanKit helps is to keep all of our teams projects and collaborative efforts organized. It gives us a fairly good visualization of work progress.

Terrible account management backend for managing your team or subscription. We have been charged for our cancelled account since December 2018.

I think this program is great at clearing showing where you team is at with a project. There are so many ways to communicate different things.

You can visually see the status and details with each card, that represents each project. It's almost like post-it notes on a board.

Easy-to-use RSS/calendar feeds make it easy to integrate with my calendaring. Wide variety of templates help a newb like me get started quickly.

The software does not have a specific area for managing risks. However, there are different ways to overcome this and also add issue tracking.

I asked for a refund of the unused months and I was told no.

A lot of good features such as clear relations for tasks, funnels, many ticket types.

The Kanban board is an easy and organized board that helps our business stay communicated. I also love the personalization of profiles with pictures.

This software had everything we wanted in a Kanban board. Ease of use, ability to customize how we wanted it to look with subcategories, etc.

It also stripped new lines from descriptions, while there are workarounds with tags, it was frustrating that have wrapping automatically.

Very good enterprise-grade portfolio tracking tool.

It's  limitations with lanes and lack of sleek design can make it hard to look at and can be over whelming if there are many cards in a lane.

Great introduction into Kanban and Lean project management.

Integration with 3rd party apps (ZenDesk, Atlassian).

Clean and easy to use interface, along with the ability to configure boards with the lanes and sub lanes that you require.

Daily standups, ability to see at a glance what my team is working on and what they have accomplished.

Leankit manages to allow you to capture as much info as you want, while still remaining, well, lean. It really is a great experience from top to bottom.

Great Software, but a Little on the Pricey Side.

Technical issues, inability to unsubscribe from emails, unhelpful customer service, tedious process for tasks.

Cost is a strong advantage it has other competitor Mircosoft.

The plugin is handy and are what makes it really rich although the cost of the plugins can start to add up if they are used they are good value.

Awesome document syncing for online collaboration. Superb permission management for critical security of confidential data.

The product works, and is great for startup companies that don't want to invest in something more powerful.

Confluence is not the most intuitive program and learning to properly navigate it took a while. I also dislike that it is possible for one corrupted page to crash a whole file.

Do almost anything with the documentation by just using the internet browser is really awesome. The integration with jira is pretty good.

Customer service is always available and is super helpful.

I dislike that Confluence gets a little confusing with multiple links for the same page (a long link and a short link), but it is hard to differentiate.

You also need to make sure that obsolete information is cleaned or marked obsolete, otherwise documentation rot can make information difficult to find.

Great editor tools and easy to make my pages look content rich and informative. Good search and folder structure is great for organizing content.

Great product for sharing software creation and communications. I really enjoyed the workflow and ability to communicate with several developers.

Confluence syntax is confusing for new users, its preview function is not working well when having micro or embed script.

I integrate it with jira to show any kind of  project progress. The version control feature on confluence is excellent and the fact that multiple people can edit a page at the same time is awesome.

It happened to our team and it made using Confluence unpleasant and annoying.

Like most about it easy way to document the pages. And best way to store the important document required for business purpose.

I think that Confluene is very useful and worth the time and investment.

The one thing i dislike about it is when there are topics to click on and it jumps to that supposed topic but there's no information there. I'd guess the editor was not able to remove that section.

It features a exuberant number of plugins to construct a document , so many are advances and have to learn. One important plugin that i use is the Architecture diagram building editor.

Customer support is very easily accessible and quick resolution. The deplyomnet is also easy with option of cloud server and in-house server deployemnt.

Which is great for customer support and of course technical documentation. Did I mention that you can create as many different wikis as you like.

Confuence is very easy to use and makes documentation fun and collaboration with others a breeze. It helps us organize and document our work, from meeting notes to operational documentation.

Confluence cloud allows to make the documentation space more scalable. The solution is so popular it can be integrated with most of the solutions.

I also love the version control as that becomes increasingly important as the number of contributors or complexity of the page goes up.

I have had an overall good experience with Confluence and it is easy to create and share documents. If you are using JIRA already I would recommend this.

Confluence is a project management solution that enables organizations to create, collaborate, organize and review project documents. The system offers both cloud-based and on-premise deployment.


Confluence’s editor feature allows employees to create content such as meeting notes, product requirements and research reports. The solution enables managers to review and share feedback in documents themselves.


Confluence’s knowledge management module provides users with a centralized repository to access and search relevant content according to project requirements. The system lets managers restrict access to confidential data and collaborate within closed groups. Users can publish, organize and access company information in a central location.  


Confluence's task management feature allows managers to delegate, monitor and track changes to tasks assigned to each employee. The task management feature updates managers with status on tasks that are completed, impending, or overdue. The software integrates with JIRA to enable project transparency.
