Great tool to help get things DONE!
I would highly recommend it to anyone I know.
PROS-What makes Kanbanchi so great is how easy to use. -Works perfectly with google platforms, gmail, google drive, etc... -Ability to chat and upload files on the same board or task.
CONSLimited options and features such as: -Time frame for each board if we can have more on it to customized. -Email notification title should be showing on which board it is related to, something easier to read that you don't need to open the email to check which board is it related to. -Problems when assign boards from gmail directly, when add-ons activated
Reason for choosing Kanbanchi
GOOGLE. Easy to use.
Reasons for switching to Kanbanchi
Kanbanchi is connected to GOOGLE.

Very Functional with Google G Suite
I work for a nonprofit and you manage many responsibilities. This has helped me organize my projects with ease. I manage projects from advertising, public relations, social media content, video development, market analysis. The learning curve is small. It is really a user driving experience and the customer service is... They get back to you with solutions! I am very pleased
PROSIntegrated into G Suites with no problems Integration with G Mail, easy to assign a task to the Kanbanchi board Calendar integration, I did not have to use a third party and or pay for an expensive platform such as Smart Sheet. I can see my projects on Google Calendar Attaching files is very simple. Easy navigation and can change views to look at project status. I can See my Kanbanchi Board on My Google Drive! I then selected the Kanbanchi board so it appears in my Google Workspace
CONSAt this stage, I currently do not have a like least. I need more time to work with it.
Reason for choosing Kanbanchi
I am a single user and will expand to a small team. This program works very well with the Google platform, seamless. Training of other users will be easy because of the native feel within Google and I do not have to have a third party app for integration! When working with non-techi personnel, setting up third-party apps for a tool is more headaches. With Kanbanchi, my headaches are gone and have reduced my training time with new users. Very simple to use and effective
Reasons for switching to Kanbanchi
I was looking for a project management tool that would reside in G Suites and that I did not have to use a zapier or IFFFT to link my calender or other google products to

Miles away from the competition
Unpleasant, buggy and not really enjoyable
PROSThe tools is pretty straightforward to use and works more or less like every other Kanban type tool. The tools work mostly fine.
CONSIt doesn't feel stable, on multiple occasions I had to rewrite and entire comment because I clicked away from the card or even in the card itself. Design-wise it's a bit confuse and has way to many options on the first level of selection. The cards formatting shouldn't be enabled on click as this usually interferes with the attempt to click on links
Vendor Response
Hi Miguel, thanks for sharing your honest feedback. We value each review and are always happy to discuss the possibilities of improving the app with our users. Please feel free to connect with our Support support@kanbanchi.freshdesk.com.

Kanbanchi for running an effective kanban board
Overall, Kanbanchi is very popular within our devOps team. However due to the expensive costs, only a limited set of users have edit-access to the board, & this curtails the collaboration.
PROSEase of implementation. Integration features. Day-to-day usability.
CONSThe cost per seat is ridiculously expensive.

Gantt Chart for the Win
I am not a native tech user but the ability to interact with our information in a visual way has been really helpful. Their customer service is extra ordinary, especially for the tech challenged amongst us.
PROSThe ordering of the information in a visible, modular way is a gods’send for the neurodiverse.
CONSI’m not sure what is involved with developing for iOS specific apps for use on iPhones, iPads and Apple Watch but imagine it must be too much trouble for the moment. More native iOS integration would be helpful but not a deal breaker as you can use it in browser based way. That being said. considering the imperfect integration (from a user point of view) of native iOS apps with themselves over varied Appple devices, maybe they are better steering clear!
Reason for choosing Kanbanchi
The integration with Google Workspace (fka G Suite) which we already use and the Gantt chart functionality

Very user friendly and preferred over Jira
Very positive. All departments have adopted.
PROSIt's very Google-like and that made it easier for my team to adopt. Tried using Jira before and my team struggled with it so adoption was low. We're not a tech company and this suited us much better.
CONSAdding users and licenses is not intuitive at all. I would like to see resolution types added to completed tasks. I would like to see this company add a product like Confluence to their range of products.
Reasons for switching to Kanbanchi
More intuitive interface and user experience.

For the price is good. I hope still under improvement.
It has been ok.. hasn't been very practical to import my tickets, I waste a lot of time creating or editing one by one at the beginning of every sprint. If wasn't for that, this would be perfect.Thank you for your hard work.
PROSEasy to use daily, very good visually, makes things easier to visualize. Also the other admin tools, like Gants, burn down, tasklist and swimlanes. I like them all.
CONSThe way to import tickets from csv is a nightmare! It is not easy, it is not practical, is not complete. I still have to manually change things one by one, because I could never import the estimation or the tags. I can't import either personalized fields, or use my template card for importation. I really hope they improve this very important functionality.
Reason for choosing Kanbanchi
Our company uses Google Enterprise. I would have gone with Trello, but they wanted to keep it on the Google platform. I still think that Trello is a bit more versatile. But I think Kambanchi supply our needs for now.

One of the best kanban board software I've tried
This is helping me streamline day-to-day tasks as well as keep track of everything that needs to be done with each of my manuscripts during the publishing process.
PROSIt's easy to use and its templates make it easy to streamline processes. Checklists and due dates, along with priorities, make it easy to keep track of what needs to be done and when.
CONSNot being able to use it offline is one drawback, since there is no way install it direct onto a computer.
Reason for choosing Kanbanchi
Ease of use and features offered.
Reasons for switching to Kanbanchi
Kanbanchi just seems smoother and less reliant on adding extras to each board. Visually, it's easier and more appealing than Trello as well.

Perfect for these times
My overall experience has been super positive and I'm hoping that we will adopt Kanbanchi across our entire organization. When I'm finally able to return to my workplace, I'm taking Kanbanchi with me.
PROSWhile I am sure to have benefitted from using Kanbanchi previous to the Covid-19 pandemic, I was getting by without it because my normal day-to-day schedule and priorities were largely dictated by my teaching schedule. When I found myself working from home and with much more time to focus on neglected projects and new ideas, Kanbanchi came to the rescue. It has allowed me to easily generate and organize my long term and daily objectives, share them with my project partners, and track my time on each task.
CONSAs a newer user, I'm not sure I'm even aware of all the features Kanbanchi includes, and at this point don't feel that anything is missing.
Reasons for switching to Kanbanchi
Drag trial ended and I've found organizing tasks with Kanbanchi easier.

Our Bread and Butter for Staff Retention
Kanbanchi provided us with a simple platform to track staffing for a unit of 191 staff, team by team. We were able to track issues such as active or inactive statuses, Within those status groups, timelines in which they were scheduled to return to work, FML and COVID related leave outcomes as well as attrition and retention
PROSThe interface provides a quick and easily customizable platform for use in evaluating multiple metrics and processes at the click of a mouse!
CONSBased on the past several updates, I would have to say they have both listened to and facilitated many of the changes we had recommended to their CS team .... (Easier movement of boards, attachment and photo uploads, time stamping to track when milestones or timelines have been met, etc.)
Reason for choosing Kanbanchi
We tested other Kanban structured products but based on our needs which are noted above, Kanbanchi was hands down the winner for what we were seeking

Teacher Perspective
Overall, Kanbanchi has been very useful for my students in planning and executing their projects.
PROSAs a computer science teacher, I help my students learn to manage a project through the use of Kanbanchi. Students list the features that they need or want to add to a program and then plan how and when it will be done. They utilize the priority settings to target what is most important, collaborate and assign tasks in their group, use check off lists, store their assets and version control. Students report that they feel that they feel more in control and less overwhelmed when they use this product.
CONSAs a "free for education" I don't have access to the Gantt charts and having sub cards which I would really like to be able to utilize with my students.

Can't do without this program!
My experience has been fantastic. I've used it for several different jobs and Kanbachi has made it possible to stay on top of EVERYTHING, including helping me schedule necessary follow up tasks after primary tasks have been completed. I could not do my job without this program.
PROSThe Kanbanchi Board is the only way I stay on top of the many tasks I need to do, both in this job and previous jobs! It enables me to plan my day, my week, and even the entire year, and keep my task list organized and make sure I'm on top of everything. I use it to plan out all of my weekly and monthly tasks for the year and it keeps me from forgetting anything! Being able to check off each item as I go really keeps me motivated and on track.
CONSThere are no cons to this software for me, other than sometimes it bugs me about linking it to my google account, which I don't want to do. When that happens, it can then be tricky to bypass the prompt and get to my board.

Great, functional app to connect students in project-based learning.
- Greater transparency in our group-based and project-based activities for student leadership programs. - More engaged team members, having always up-to-date information concerning project progress
PROS- Easy to connect to student Google Apps for Education accounts, which don't always allow easy access to other apps like Trello or Slack - Very functional and easy to use, all features are well integrated and the app seems very resilient - Great support, quick responses to email tickets and impressive turn around time for feature request implementation
CONSKnowing that the software continues to grow continuously and features are added, here are notes and feature requests : - the commenting section seems hard to access. We love that we can collaborate on boards, especially since it's so seamlessly connected to Google Apps. However, it's hard to discuss things within Kanbanchi. Perhaps inline messaging within comments, or a notification system for new messages within cards a user follows. - more granular permissions to allow certain users (in this case, students) to be limited in functionalities (assigning or un-assigning others to cards, deleting cards or columns, changing tags, changing wallpapers and other UI elements, etc.)

Kanban Assessment
After learning the program, it is extremely useful and helpful with organization. still a bit cluttered, but very efficient and customizable
PROSI like that all projects can be viewed at various stages, with levels of priority, and the ability to customize each, such as with checklists and notes. It's useful for teams of people working throughout the software.
CONSThere is a learning curve, and projects can become confusing when multiple components in each have difficulty being broken down. the search tool can be a bit tricky sometimes, and perhaps more tiers of access could be useful

Nice software for Kanban management that can be shared with your teammates.
Start working through a Kanban system work flow with my team collaborators.
PROSIt is very easy to use and the work environment is very friendly. It is integrated in Google Drive. That's really nice!!!! Their customer support answers you very quickly with the proper answer you need and they are open to explain you anything you need through the application or by e-mail. There are many options and features you can add to each task card: tags, colours, owners, comments, attachments... In addition, there are very usefull paid add-on features such as Gantt chart, subcards...
CONSThinking about a Kanban tool by itself, it would be very useful if there was a kind of time log for each task card to record the work progress, define the lead time, etc.: when you add a task card in your system, when you start working on it, when you stop it because of external issues, when you finish it... In addition, there is not a mobile app which may ease the use of this tool even if you do not have a computer.

I am a experienced user
Its a powerful Kanban oriented tool I use for personal time management and also for collaborative work with my software development team. I like its simplicity to use and best of all is that is a powerful tool. Not an easy combination to find in a product.
PROSThe available options to color cards, the use of labels and tags far superior than similar product like MeisterTask. Also the way Kanbanchi filters the required information is really fast and give you enough granularity to show you only the what you need.
CONSEven though I usually use the app from my browser in my office, there is no mobile app, so this could be a problem for others.

Kanbanchi is an innovative tool to create Kanban boards
team productivity and communication are optimised thanks to this tool. Project tracking and reporting is enhanced.
PROSIt is a very good tool that is integrated with Google Drive. You can create Kanban cards that are highly customisable with different colors, tags, and priorities. Start and due dates, estimated and actual time spent can also be set and recorded. Since it is fully integrated with Google, due dates may be added to Google calendar.
CONSThere is no app yet available for your smart phone. The software comes at a price. You would eventually need to pay for the software. It also only works in a google cloud environment which means that your team or organisation must be using google suite first.
