Zenkit allows me to track progress of client projects and embed Kanban views onto private client pages of my company's website—essentially powering my business's client portals. I also use it to track business expenses, save receipts and other documents, and control my work calendar. I love that I can access is on both my desktop and phone. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Zenkit is very affordable with a sleek interface that is very intuitive. There is excellent documentation for its many uses as well as video tutorials and blogs that are invaluable to new users. #### Cons The data storage limits are relatively low. Free users can store up to 1GB of file attachments, but "Plus" users ($9/mo) only receive 6GB. #### Reasons for choosing Zenkit Zenkit was more intuitive to learn and less expensive overall. Airtable does offer more data storage, however. #### Vendor response Dear Elizabeth, Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We appreciate it. We are happy to hear, you are enjoying Zenkit.

No incentive was offered I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone I know in a similar working environment to me who need to manage a lot of staff with varying roles. It’s a fantastic organising tool. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I absolutely love Zenkit, and use it every day. I like how you can upload pictures and make notes on items and have dialogue over certain tasks. I really really love the product and it is a vital way for me to manage staff and keep ontop of tasks. Plus a great way to organise myself with current and future projects. I would really like to bring the product to the greater estate and use for all elements of the company like the farming, Properties etc and use it as the format for the entire company. but we are restricted on members. #### Cons To be fair, I havent had enough time to really see all the features and I am sure there is much more I can do with it. What is frustrating is the lack of notifications when I or anther member add a new task- they have to go onto the app to see if there are any additional items I’ve added.. which is frustrating and of they don't check it, important tasks get missed. I also would ideally like to add more people to the account as restricted in only a small amount of people, and the company is much bigger but that is down to cost. #### Reasons for choosing Zenkit Because Zenkit synced with multiple members and was a great platform for communication. #### Reasons for switching to Zenkit I actually can’t remember the product i switched from as it was a very long time ago…..The other product went bust and didnt work anymore. I tried lots of other apps and nothing was as close to the last product as Zenkit. #### Vendor response Dear Victoria, Thank you very much for the review. We appreciate it and are happy to see, you are enjoying using our products so far. As we are constantly working on making Zenkit better, please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any further questions or suggestions for improvement.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's very easy and intuitive to manage software using Zenkit since it UI is user friendly and it has a lot of features wich made this task simple. #### Cons Sometimes it feels that it doesn't have a lot of third party integrations like other similar tools but it seems that it will expand it from time to time. --- ### Nothing's perfect but for what I need Zenkit comes close - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been using tools of this type for years. I've invested more time than I want to admit to using tools for planning. I'm a big mindmap user. I use it as a way to get organized when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I also use spreadsheets often as to-do lists. I also make use of kanban boards at work and in my own personal projects. And finally I have been hooked for a long time on the use of labels/tags to organize things. Zenkit is the first product I've used that allows you to do all of these things on the same data. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that Zenkit treats my list of issues as a database and provides me many ways to look at it and manipulated it. This was the initial hook for me and it's kept me hooked. I can view my issues as a list, a kanban board, a table, a hierarchy, and a mindmap. These are just the views I use. There are others. I haven't used the Gantt chart or the wiki views yet. All of the good planning tools have the same basic fields -e.g. Title, description, the ability to leave notes and to attach things. It's this ability to turn my issues list on it's side so-to-speak and explore it that is amazing. It keeps my from getting overwhelmed by the details and lost in the forest. The other thing I like most about this software is how flexible it is with the fields. For example each of my workspaces has what I call an anchor collection. I was able to add a custom field in each of my issues that allows me to link any one of the other issues in a workspace back to its anchor. I use this anchor as a way to collect information that anchors all of the issues to it. Sounds like a confusing workflow? The workflow isn't the point - it turns out that as I have gotten to know Zenkit I'm starting to lean away from the use of anchors and create more collections instead. The truly amazing thing here is that I had a low barrier to getting productive with Zenkit. I was able to morph the product to my workflow to get started. It didn't enforce "a way of thinking" on me. #### Cons The user interface took a bit of getting used to. Your issues can become cluttered as you add more custom fields. I'm still getting used to how the filters work as well. #### Reasons for switching to Zenkit I had been making todoist work for me. I really liked the interface and it was pretty flexible. It didn't have all of the flexibility that I wanted but it was and is a rock solid product. There was a product change in a new release that broke my workflow in a way that was painful. It had to do with how the product handled completed tasks. I took a deep breath and took a look around and I found zenkit. It took a bit to get used of the look and feel but I was blown away because it looked at my issues in the way I want to look at them. I was using visual paradigm to help me visualize my projects with mind maps and flowcharts (BPMs). I still use it but this tool is overkill for what I use it for. It's targeted at software developers, but It has been the most flexible tool I've found for visualizing plans. It has been adding task lists,etc but like I said, it's overkill for my needs. I used Jira for a long time. I ran a local server on my PC. In my humble opinion it comes closest to doing what zenkit does as far as allowing you to slice and dice your data. It's also overkill. I had to administer it, maintain individual licenses for add-ons, etc. I had already moved away from Jira to Todoist before I switched to Zenkit. The Brain - I still use this daily but it's a data collector and not as good at being a planning tool. I tried to make it a planning tool during my search for a todoist replacement I looked seriously at toodledoo and tick tick also #### Vendor response Thank you so much for your five-star review!

We couldn't live without it, the whole business runs on Zenkit. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The standard views replace any kanban board out there, the other views add a lot more. #### Cons Sometimes, performance is a little sub-optimal (especially on the app), but in the past two years a lot has happened and the team has improved this point already. Looking forward to the next updates. #### Reasons for switching to Zenkit Zenkit has all the features of Trello, Wunderlist, etc and adds a lot more. #### Vendor response Thank you so much for your five-star review!

Cheers, Louisa Replied December 2021 --- ### Using Zenkit for Research Projects - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Arthur C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall experience: fantastic. I've been using it as my primary platform for organizing/managing projects for a couple of years now. Haven't found anything that good yet. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Zenkit interface is highly configurable, which makes it ideal to collaborate with team members with different technical backgrounds. One of the most amazing characteristics though is that any data can be relational - pretty much like in a RDB - and you can create your own data structures to organize yourself as you prefer. #### Cons The mindmap representation is a bit different of what one's used to find in mindmapping-related software, but this seems to be mostly due to web components limitations. #### Reasons for choosing Zenkit Best customization overall. #### Reasons for switching to Zenkit Trello was too restricted in terms of organization (especially nested and cross-related project items) #### Vendor response Dear Arthur, Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We appreciate it. Please don't hesitate to send any questions, feedback or suggestions for improvement to us via service@zenkit.com. Cheers, Louisa Replied December 2021 --- ### Great for Small Business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kelsey B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Excellent experience with customer service. The only glitch was a small one when I upgraded my plan, but they helped me figure out a way around it. I love that they continue to develop the software instead of allowing it to remain stagnant. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that our team can see our plans and data in a variety of different formats, as each person has a different work style - some prefer tables, some Kanban, some Gantt. Everyone can get what they want and need. #### Cons Overall, the biggest challenge is not the software itself but getting our team to use it effectively and wholly. But that's an issue with every software implementation. #### Reasons for choosing Zenkit Pricing was much better on Zenkit and ZK had better project planning features. #### Vendor response Dear Kelsey, Thank you so much for your five-star review! Please don't hesitate to send any feedback or suggestions for improvement to us via service@zenkit.com.

Suddenly I have more time to help my project expand and offer greater service to our customers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros After only using Trello for project management for years I decided to explore various other options to help optimize the management of our project. Zenkit is super user friendly with loads of templates and documentation to get you started. I am really looking forward to use the full potential of this great piece of software. #### Cons I do not have any cons when using Zenkit, so far I have only had an excellent experience. #### Reasons for switching to Zenkit Trello was very limiting and I needed to find a more inclusive program to assist with daily administration. #### Vendor response Dear Alex, we are happy to hear, you are enjoying Zenkit so far.

Sometimes pretty good, especially on a desktop. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The look on the desktop. It is an all in all good solution on the desktop and really pleasent to use. #### Cons The App is pretty bad in usability and a real painpoint. The reminder block everything.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Zenkit is outstanding at task & project management. It's super customizable and easy to use. Our business can't live without it! #### Cons The only con to using Zenkit is that it's not free, HOWEVER, in life, there's no such thing as a "free lunch" or free-anything that's of value. #### Vendor response Dear Anthony, Thank you for the five-star review!

Cheers, Louisa Replied April 2024 --- ### Excellent product… Fills a unique niche - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Package/ Freight Delivery - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Awesome ... effective ... and the support people respond to online chat questions within a day. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is the most effective tool/environment that I have found for navigating between a big picture "concept" (blue sky) view/conversation about a complex issue through the detailed work of executing tasks and delegating assignments for people to complete on a timely basis. In my past, I have had difficulty helping executives to understand the many moving parts to create a thorough solution. However, using Zenkit, I have been able to help people who are "visiting" an issue to understand/sponsor/champion a go-forward plan which captures their emotional as well as verbal support. More importantly, I have found the success to be repeatable – not just a one-off with a single personality-type. #### Cons The mindmap view has been critical to my success. However, because Zenkit can only print the mindmap view from a screen capture copy, I am often not comfortable handing out hardcopies because the image sometimes blurs (the online view is fine - I manage the browser setting). My one wish is that Zenkit would offer an output version which can expand without pixelating. #### Vendor response Hi! Thank you very much for your great review. :) There will soon be an update regarding the mindmap view. If you would like to go into detail on your suggestion of improved export of mindmaps, please feel free to message service@zenkit.com. We thoroughly appreciate your feedback and suggestions. :) Replied September 2019 --- ### Powerful and on the rise - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bent R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Research - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very positive, I work with zenkit nearly two years and it helped me a lot in structuring my life and work. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros As a PhD Candidate I have to manage different Projects, Students, Presentations etc. each with different time horizons and most on my own. I really like the kanban and hierarchy mode to structure my overall projects (collection) and its different smaller tasks within. Also I keep track of “one liners” (simple, one step task with low priority, but rising urgency). Zenkit allow me to keep an overview of what I have to do and done already for each project. I recommend the to-do add-in and each task should have due date. #### Cons With the new zenkit to do software it should be more easy to track your daily and weekly tasks for each project, by integrating the collections into the to do software. Yet this feature does not work properly. Nevertheless the support I very good and helpful. #### Vendor response Dear Bent, Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate it. Our latest release, Zenkit Project, offers a very specified view on all tasks that are due for example today or this week and offers great global views to get a clear overview of the progress of various projects. We are constantly working on making Zenkit better. Feel free to contact us via service@zenkit.com to share any other suggestions or feedback with us. Cheers, Louisa Replied November 2021 --- ### You may not have heard of Zenkit before, but once you do, you wo´t let go of it - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Stefan K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Online Media - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I am very pleased with Zenkit as it gives me a lot of flexibility on how do I want to manage my project and team. The product is being continuously improved, which gives me the assurance that even the small things that are currently missing, will one day be implemented. Additionally, the easy to use interface and easy to understand functionality makes the experience even better. I do recommend Zenkit without a hesitation and will continue using it in the future as well! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I really enjoy the fact, that the free tier is already packed with the full functionality and requires a subscription only when you rise above the free tier limits, which in my opinion is generous and a great option especially for startups, where money is tight. It really helped me personally organize my project and lay a foundation of current and future tasks. With just 2 clicks you can switch view from Kanban to mindmap or a list of estimates regarding time, budget and resources. It really is a great multi-functional tool and the best part is, that the developers are listening to the users and continuously improve the user experience and overall functionality! #### Cons One obstacle I see is that every time I rolled on a new team member, I had to explain them how to do things and what are the tricks. Zenkit already has a great in-depth documentation and few explanatory videos, but having something like a small training course would help me and my team greatly. --- ### Amazing productivity app - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am using zenkit to keep track of my personal life in a modified GTD style. It has worked better than any other software I've tried, mostly thanks to the views and filters. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I've used list software for years to remember all the little things in my life. Zenkit takes that a step further with the different views available. I personally use the calendar and list view every day. The filters are also great and easy to setup. #### Cons I am using the free version so I need to use a workaround for recurring tasks since that feature is only for paid customers. The android app is also frequently very slow and offline mode doesn't always work. --- ### Help you get organised in different ways - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I enjoy using Zenkit for personal project and/or management. I use it to manage my video game collection, but also to organize my tasks at home and personal projects I want to run. I'm looking forward to be able to share the experience with more people and use it on larger projects. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The different option to visualize your information and modulate it to fit your needs and/or your preferences. The fact that you can look at the same information as table, a kanban board, a mindmap, etc... makes Zenkit very user friendly and help having people with different expectation to work on the same information and data. #### Cons I'm sure the visual could still benefit from a nice facelift and maybe give more aesthetic options to the users to make it easier on the eye, but this is not a huge issue. The website would gain in being a bit more responsive sometimes, but the android application works very nicely. #### Vendor response Hello! Thanks for your great review. :) If you like, please feel free to go into detail regarding the website design and responsiveness in an email to service@zenkit.com. We really appreciate your feedback and suggestions, be it small or huge issues. :) Replied September 2019 --- ### Lots of Great Features for Free! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Zenkit has been a huge help from a project management perspective. We've been able to eliminate several spreadsheets we were using for project tracking. The information contained in Zenkit is robust, and because it's completely customizable, it provides the exact information my business needs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Zenkit offers a lot of great features on their free version. It's become a central part of my business and I opted to upgrade to a paid version after using it for a couple months. Zenkit is great because everything can be customized to your own individual business from workflows to labels. #### Cons It takes a little effort to get up and running because you basically have to customize everything you want the software to do. Because it doesn't have any templates set up, there is a slight learning curve. --- ### Essayé, approuvé / Tried, loved - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is a highly customizable version of other more famous softwares of the same kind, which allows users to do about everything they might want to do. I used it for a first project, for a first company, and didn't hesitate one second about adopting it when I started working in a second company. #### Cons The card display in the kanban view, or in other views, could be more customizable for clarity purposes. Sometimes a bit sluggish, although very fast overall. #### Vendor response Thank you so much for your review! We're glad to hear you were able to use Zenkit in each of your companies. Replied August 2019 --- ### I use Zenkit everyday to organize the tasks of our team. The Kanban view is my favorite. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Linda v. - Industry: Online Media - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I get an overview over my teams tasks and the daily business. I am able to create and think about new ideas by using the mind map function and I am able to connect Zenkit to other devices I'm using while work (e.g. Slack). For me and my team, Zenkit makes coworking very easy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It is easy to use and you can start immediatly without watching all your (also great) videos. Zenkit offers you a great overview over your tasks and helps me as a team leader to get an overview over the tasks of my team members. The Kanban view is perfekt for organising our daily business but I also like the mind map function for getting new ideas. Another feature I like very uch is the connection with Slack. And - last but not least - you have a great support. I wrote you two times via facebook and you answered immediately! #### Cons I work with different collections: One for each team and project I am working with and one for my own tasks. So I have three different collections with three different tasks. To get a better overview over my daily tasks I would love to have an overview over all my tasks from each collection in one Kanban. #### Vendor response Hi Linda, Thank you so much! We really appreciate your detailed feedback. We're actually about to release a global view that will show all of your tasks in one place.

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I enjoy the fact that the software can be easily adapted to our specific needs. This improves functionality and really is a benefit to us. Further, it is very ease to use on different devices - with full functionality - thereby enabling work on the go. #### Cons The high degree of functions to be tailored to your needs make the tool also slightly difficult to fully grasp in the first place.

Replied June 2018 --- ### Finally found what I needed! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Charlotte V. - Industry: Research - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. A very easy way to organise my tasks and projects of my PhD project. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is an extremely versatile product, as I can change to my calendar, list of tasks, Kanban, ... with just one click! New features have been added since I first started using it, and I love it more and more. Additionally, as I use it just for me personal, it is free! I currently use it for organising my tasks related to my PhD, as I am working on different projects at the same time. I tried using Asana and Trello as well, but they are not as versatile as Zenkit! #### Cons The recent addition of the Mind Map is not exactly as I would want it. I would like to add different mind maps to one project, but all nodes should be linked to each other, which makes it impossible to create multiple mind maps. Also, the root I would make, would be the name of my project, and I find it annoying that it would show up in my Kanban/lists. Anyway, this is still a very small annoyance, and I do not use the mind map anyway. #### Vendor response Hi Charlotte, Thank you so much for your reveiw! We're so glad you're enjoying the versatility of Zenkit. We'll be working on improving the mind map view soon :) Replied August 2017 --- ### Great Tool for our business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stefan K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Easy team task assignments. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is easy to use from day one, since most tools are structured very user friendly. I like the efficiency it provides for sharing information and tasks with my team. #### Cons I am still learning how use some of the tools in a more efficient way. Although I can find most tools I absolutely need to get the job done, some ways to get there are longer than I would like them to be, especially with repeat actions, like assigning tasks to my team. I would like to be able to create pre set groups to assignments, rather than assigning 29 persons individually. I am still struggling with getting all team members to use the software and respond on this platform. Breaking the habit of using just emails is difficult. I would like to provide some simple incentives for my team to respond on zenkit, rather than responding on email and letting me enter all information into zenkit. #### Vendor response Hiya! Thank you so much for your kind review. Your request for an easier way to assign users and more incentives to get colleagues to use Zenkit have been noted and sent to our dev team. If you want some tips on using Zenkit, please send a message via our in-app chat, or to service@zenkit.com. We're happy to help!

No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The Kanban can be adjusted very flexibly.

We're working hard to improve stability and responsiveness in the app, so there should be improvements soon!
