Super Flexible, 100% Kanban

Functionality

Pros:

I love the flexibility of the boards. You can create any board you or your team may need, making it super flexible. I also love that it is 100% Kanban and only kanban, vs other software that tries to be everything to everybody.

Cons:

There are some bugs here and there, but the team is always quick to respond and they get fixed very quickly.

Reasons for choosing Kanban Zone

Because KanbanZone is actually Kanban, and again it offers more flexibility than anything out there I came across.

Reasons for switching to Kanban Zone

Because Jira is for developers and it is very stiff. It can only do limited things. Plus they are a huge company that doesn't listen to the complaints of everyday people. They also make the dumbest updates (like, you spent time on that?!?) and the UI is confusing. Nobody in my company seems to like it except some developers.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Hilary, for sharing your experience. We are glad Kanban Zone’s flexibility and focus on Kanban support your remote team without unnecessary complexity. Staying true to Kanban while remaining adaptable is a deliberate choice for us. We also appreciate your note on responsiveness. Addressing issues quickly and listening closely to users is something we take seriously.

Pros:

We received a large amount of assistance from experts in agile for law firms that are involved with the company. The software functions well, is extremely customizable. It has made our workflows visible and has helped identify bottlenecks. Really valuable for our firm

Cons:

How I felt after getting all of our work onto our board and realizing how overcommitted we are. Great visibility to our workload, which has allowed us to get a better handle on our caseload.

Reasons for choosing Kanban Zone

Kanbanzone was a much better fit for law firm needs than these other products.

Reasons for switching to Kanban Zone

Better metrics, wip limits, service expectations. Just a better kanban product.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are glad to hear that Kanban Zone has helped make your firm’s workflows visible and uncover bottlenecks. That moment of realizing overcommitment is often uncomfortable, but it is also where real improvement begins. Visibility is the first step toward better decisions. It is especially meaningful to hear that our approach to metrics, WIP limits, and service expectations is supporting your case assembly and long-term process improvement. We designed Kanban Zone specifically for teams, including law firms, that need more than a surface-level Kanban board. If there is ever anything we can do to support you further as you continue refining your system, please do not hesitate to reach out. Dimitri CEO, Kanban Zone

Kanban Zone surprisingly feature rich and easy to use

Kanban Zone has improved our productivity and has created new, deeper understanding of our planning and delivery. We've been working Trello for so long - we hadn't realized how much we'd had outgrown it. More importantly, how little value Trello gave us. We assessed a number of other tools like Monday, Jira, Asana, Business Map, and others and they all were underwhelming and expensive. In comparison, Kanban Zone has given us so many insights on how we work and how we can improve. What we didn't realize was that the app is so feature rich... each department in my company is able to customize their own board while still rolling up to our portfolio. We can now use 1 single tool for our work backlog, our portfolio, and our OKRs. Whether you're a Fortune 50 or a small startup, this tool helps accelerate planning and delivery as well as metrics to foster improvement.

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to understand hierarchy structure, flexible configuration, workflow, notifications, versatility - able to create custom boards yet still have these roll up to a portfolio. Metrics are easy to capture as well.

Cons:

Customizing the boards can be tricky. It will take some training but it's well worth while. And if you're not intending to improve your process - that is OK. But once you see your process on a board, you'll start seeing where it needs to be fixed! Also, there are so many features, we've been slowing discovering more that we are enjoying. My recommendation is to have their team help customize the first boards until you totally understand how it all works.

Reasons for switching to Kanban Zone

Trello was not able to support our company. Any project that has a very least complexity cannot use Trello out of the box. Or it will take a very long time to customize.

Vendor Response

We are glad Kanban Zone is helping your teams gain deeper insight into how work flows across boards, portfolios, and planning. You are right that customization takes some guidance at first, and we agree that working with our team early on helps teams unlock value faster. It is especially rewarding to hear that Kanban Zone is now supporting everything from team backlogs to portfolio visibility and OKRs in a single system.

Pros:

The feature to configure the board exactly was I would do a physical board is tremendous. I don´t have to adapt to a different way of working because of the software. I can create a board as I like and visualize between teams without changing the way we think.

Cons:

The lack of color and fluid design was a shock at first, but after getting used it actually helps to keep your focus on what matters.

Reasons for switching to Kanban Zone

Kanban Zone allow me to create the boards any way I like too, plus the metrics are extremely powerful. Visualizing the boards in the way they are built and the way I learned is fantastic.

Vendor Response

Thank you for sharing this experience. We are glad Kanban Zone lets you work the same way you would with a physical board, without forcing a different way of thinking. That ability to evolve boards as blockers appear is exactly what we aim to support. We also appreciate your note on design and focus. Staying intentional about clarity over decoration helps teams concentrate on the work that matters. Dimitri CEO, Kanban Zone

Kanban Zone

I definitely would like to mention the Customer Support. They have to be the best I have ever worked with. Any time I send an email with questions or issues, they reply within 5 minutes, sometimes within a minute. And if there is a problem, they are on it right away, and fix it within a few hours if not faster. I am always amazed by their positive attitude toward us. We also realized that we can use Kanban Zone as part of our documentation. We went through an internal audit and we had a difficult time of finding corresponding emails or files to our projects, so after the audit we started using the Kanban Zone card numbers on all of our files, emails, and promotion descriptions. Now if we have to go back and find the documentations related to a task or project, we can easily find everything. We also use the description area in the card to include a short description of the problem, and after the issue is resolved, then we add a note of how the issue was resolved, or the location of the files that were created as part of the project.

Pros:

The Kanban board is very flexible. We can modify it in any way it helps us to manage our projects. I like the reports, the search capabilities and that we can download the cards into Excel. All these help us to quickly and easily create reports of our projects and productivity. I also like the look of the board and the cards. While it might not be important to some people, for me it is very important that everything is organized and pleasant looking. It is very easy to set up a card, keep them in the right work process, and then it feels good when I move a card to the Done column. Conversations with my manager became so much better regarding my projects since we started using Kanban Zone.

Cons:

There is really nothing I can point out that I don't like about the software. It is so easy to use. There is nothing that bugs me over and over again.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are glad Kanban Zone is helping improve both project visibility and conversations around work, from reporting and documentation to day-to-day flow. It is also very rewarding to hear that our support team has been responsive and helpful when you needed them. Using cards as a reference point for documentation and audits is a great example of how teams extend the system beyond task tracking. We truly appreciate you sharing this.

It's easy to use, no training to use is needed once you understand the Kanban principles.

Maybe add visual references that shows in the Board what Cards have a linked, today you can indentify cards with link, but not what are those particular cards linked with.
