Beautifully tracks my business processes and assets
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.
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.

Nothing's perfect but for what I need Zenkit comes close
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.
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

Warum muss da ein Titel hin?
Im allgemeinen ist es schon ein sehr flexibles Produkt mit einem sehr gĂ¼nstigen Preis. An einigen Stellen wĂ¼rde ich mir aber Verbesserungen wĂ¼nschen.
Pros
Flexibilität, multiple Views, einfache Änderbarkeit der Templates, angenehmes Design (bis auf die Farbpalette)
Cons
- Kunden-Kommunikation von Axonic in engl. Sprache; das könnte ich zwar bedienen, ich habe aber oft keine Lust dazu. Es fördert fĂ¼r mich auch keine Nähe zum Produktion und ist fĂ¼r ein inländisches Unternehmen nicht zu verstehen - die Möglichkeit Subitems einzurichten ist schön, allerdings wird die Zugehörigkeit zum Vater-Item nicht angezeigt, dies wird im Handling hinderlich (Beispiel: Vater-Item 1 = Prospekt A, Vater-Item 2 = Prospekt B. Bei beiden gibt es z.B. Sub-Item "Entwurf", dann weiĂŸ man nicht, zu wem das Item gehört) - FarbfĂ¼hrung bei den Zeiten ist m.E. nicht klar gelöst. Erwartet hätte ich, wenn ich einen Zeitpunkt X (deadline) setze und eine Erinnerungsspanne Y, dass im Falle die aktuelle Zeit hat X - Y noch nicht erreicht ist, "etwas" grĂ¼n angezeigt wird, dass im Falle die aktuelle Zeit liegt innerhalb der Erinnerungsspanne "gelb" angezeigt wird und sonst "rot", also so eine Art Ampelsystem. Dies wird mit der Einfärbung der Zeit zwar so ähnlich gemacht, fällt aber nicht wirklich auf. Ein eingefärbter Kreis wäre m.E. besser - die Steuerung der Farben Ă¼ber Labels fĂ¼hrt bei der Farbpalette zu z.T. unleserlichen Designs, hier muss m.E. dringend eine luftigere Version her (dieses Feature habe ich daher komplett abgeschaltet)

Using Zenkit for Research Projects
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.
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)

Best Software for Information Management
We couldn't live without it, the whole business runs on Zenkit.
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.
