Great tool to disseminate and monitor team tasks

great tool overall.

PROS

Kanban is used by many departments for tasks. We are able to track and disseminate tasks to team members and know were additional resources are needed. Very intuitive UI interface.

CONS

unable to sort tickets visually, search tool can be improved much more to do quick and more in depth search.

Vendor Response

We highly recommend sorting cards by any chosen criteria, by right-clicking an empty space between cards in any column.

Excellent Tool for the Size

So far having used Jira for almost two decades, this tool is refreshing in its lightness and simplicity. This is not sacrificed in feature or function just overhead and noise which is appreciated. I find it very helpful for my own personal use and management of family and work projects in parallel to at work tools that are exclusive to enterprise tasks and hard to privatize.

PROS

I like that the interface is clean and fluid. The core features as compared with a much larger tool like Jira is there and functions equally well and, in some cases, better. The product is light, able to maintain a single interface without too many page changes taking you out of the element. It has potential for growth, but it doesn't try to replicate Jira which is a plus.

CONS

There isn't something that I don't like per se, just perhaps unable to test since I am on the free tier. The fact that they have a free tier is a plus. Some of the desired features lacking in free tier feel like they should be included. The function of some powerups are hard to understand as they are not explained. When you do activate them, it is not readily clear how they should work, better onboarding would be welcome. The right column where the calendar, recurring and postponed tasks are located are fixed in size and not fluid, so if you have more in one and less in others, you have a ton of wasted space.

Reason for choosing Kanban Tool

I like the best balance of feature and simplicity with the lightweight approach that fit my personal needs.

Amazing tool

Kanban Tool is a great tool for project management, with a lot of features that make it efficient and easy to use.

PROS

Kanban Tool is a great tool for organizing and managing projects. It allows for efficient task and project management, with a visually intuitive drag-and-drop interface. The main feature that I like best about Kanban Tool is the ability to create and customize boards and lists to fit the specific needs of each project. I also like that it provides a comprehensive view of all tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities in one place. It also gives users the ability to assign tasks to specific individuals, check progress and keep track of conversations associated with each task. This makes it easy to stay organized and on top of all project-related activities. Additionally, Kanban Tool offers a free version, which is great for small teams and individuals who are just starting out. I also appreciate the fact that it is cloud-based, so all information is stored in an online space and is accessible to all team members.

CONS

One of the biggest drawbacks of Kanban Tool is its lack of collaboration features. It does not offer any built-in collaboration tools, such as comment boards, chat, or video conferencing, which can make it difficult to work with remote teams.

Kanban Tool For Mortgage Brokerage

I have spent 6 months looking for a cost effective Kanban tool. I have tried multiple CRM systems and Kanban tools throughout all of which have appeared overly complex, daunting and off putting without ever really giving me what I need as a sole trader. Kanbans flexibility, affordable low monthly cost and system functionality is perfect for me as a mortgage broker. I would gladly (and have) recommended this to other colleagues in the industry.

PROS

Easy to Use Quick to Set up Reminders linked to email and outlook calendar Personalisation features allow this to meet the needs of my business Multiple Boards available Future dated reminders for product renewals can be set.

CONS

Email task reminders take you direct to the clients card however sometimes for a client I can have multiple tasks so having the email specific to the task that is due that day would save time reviewing your clients card to establish which task is due on that given day.

Reason for choosing Kanban Tool

Ease of use. Ability to personalise cards ABility to have multiple boards Cost
