Avis kanban tool
Comments: It is very useful software for any company and collective work. With the tables that the application has, I manage several tasks and projects at the same time. These graphs allow me to realize and monitor the performance of my colleagues.
Pros:
It is very useful software for any company and collective work. With the tables that the application has, I manage several tasks and projects at the same time. These graphs allow me to realize and monitor the performance of my colleagues.
Cons:
I haven't found any disadvantages for this software. I've been using it for almost a year without any problem.
I am very happy with this product
Comments: The customer service has been exceptional! I really appreciate that. I am excited to utilize the product more fully as I grow
Pros:
The customizability is my favorite part. Especially all the background design choices. I picked a colorful picture of succulents and made all my task colors match the plants. I enjoy looking at the board and that's nice since I look at it all day
Cons:
I would love to be able sort by my chosen criteria and have it always sort by that but they chose to go with the traditional way a Kanban board works. I can respect that. I can still sort them by my preferred criteria so I don't mind
Early days of managing my personal "me do" backlog while I take a career break
Pros:
For my current use, it had basic features available for free. The application was seamlessly accessible via browser and the mobile app. Must-have features worked with no issue at all.
Cons:
For now, nothing comes to mind as I've been using the free version. I hope to access additional features in the coming weeks so that I have a better 'story' to tell about my completed stories and I can share my board with my partner.
Kanban Tool
Comments: I've found the Kanban Tool effective for organizing our business and also my personal processes. It allows team to work on multiple boards with proper access protections. The single sign-on ensures easy authentication and login. Full control over columns, card types, and templates makes each board uniquely suited to its needs. The optional Power-Ups add useful capabilities with complete control for each board.
Pros:
Using a Kanban Tool board greatly increases our project execution productivity and streamlines our team. This visual, easy-to-use tool is effective for managing projects and tasks, and users adapt quickly. However, having used other tools, I'm not particularly impressed with this one despite its affordability. We are still testing the product and will consider if we will use it in future.
Cons:
At the moment, I can't identify any cons.
the best tool for organization
Comments: This year I was looking for a tool to organize all my courses, and I found this one. I really love this tool because it's very useful. I noticed that I improved considerably in organization, and I believe I can say that I obtained better grades by putting absolutely everything I had to do on it. It's a great tool for students.
Pros:
I love the simplicity of the platform. It's very useful if you don't want to spend time figuring out how to use every tool. I really appreciate it, and I also find the aesthetics very comfortable. I organize my university courses with it, and it's very useful to put all my tasks with dates so I don't forget them.
Cons:
There aren't many tools to change the color of the tables and the background.
Kanban for Construction
Comments: Excellent use for a visual aid to assist with knowing where each job is at in the process.
Pros:
The Kanban Board helps us to visualize all of our upcoming construction projects and helps give us a snapshot on what job it is, where it is, what notes we have on the job, what the anticipated start date is, etc. This has been a very valuable tool!
Cons:
Nothing so far, I enjoy how easy it is to use and to train others.
Alternatives Considered:
Kanban tool improved onboarding!
Comments: Kanban tool has made our onboarding experience much better.
Pros:
Multiple swim lanes Customizable fields Feature rich Importing and exporting cards/data with drag and drop ease Customer service quick responses
Cons:
Dates required to be yyyy-mm-dd format only
Best Kanban Tool
Pros:
This is such a fantastic tool! Things are going really great so far. I use it for my work as a Delivery Manager to organize ERP Support cases. This is so far the best Kanban software that I have ever used.
Cons:
The best thing about it is the simplicity, powerful embedded features, and time logging capabilities.
Kanban Review for TCG
Comments: My overall experience is wonderful as I use it every day. I just like the way the tool looks as well. I use it on a tab in my work software.
Pros:
I have the free version and that within itself is great. Right now, we only have two people and this version come with 2 people.
Cons:
The product is doing what we need it to do for two people, therefore, there is nothing for me not to like.
Simple and efficient
Pros:
Kanban Tool offers everything a kanban should have, in a simple and intuitive interface
Cons:
The customization options are a little difficult to find
Very simple to use and intuitive
Comments: It's great to follow up on all tasks and to remind you to take action about them.
Pros:
It is a very useful tool for us to use daily
Cons:
I didn't find on the website the differences between each plan. I wasn't able to find that information.
Customise to Suit
Comments: We now have visibility and tracking on the process. KPIs are measurable. Steps and responsibilities are clear.
Pros:
Kanban Tool has the flexibility to suit an incredibly wide range of uses. Can be used to track teamwork, process task management, or project developments, as best suits the user's needs.
Cons:
The formatting and loading of initial information for our use, was straightforward but time consuming. It's now maintainable as part of the workflow.
Helpful Tool for Task Management!
Pros:
I love the drag and drop feature - helps a ton with work flow management and feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Cons:
I wish that the tool automatically archived tasks that were complete.
Kanban Tool Review
Comments: Overall, Kanban tool is an incredibly useful tool for managing projects and I find it a great help in my work.
Pros:
Kanban Tool is an incredibly useful tool for project management. I particularly liked its ability to visualize tasks and the progress of a project. The visual cards on the board make it easy to see which tasks have been completed, who is working on a task and what tasks are coming up in the future. I also like the ability to create custom boards and prioritize tasks. It makes it easy to clearly see the progress of a project and what needs to be done to complete it. The notifications also keep me up to date with the progress of a project which is really helpful. I also find the collaboration features easy to use and they help to keep everyone on the same page
Cons:
Honestly, I haven’t found anything I have disliked about Kanban Tool.
Great tool for task management and project workflow
Pros:
I like that my tasks can be tracked at every stage of the project there are features to add files or attachments within each card
Cons:
Should be able to send email when a card is assigned in kanban
Kanban helps everyone build a more dynamic workflow.
Comments: Love it
Pros:
The organization and ability to track Jira tickets and issues. To see where every project is at in real time with documentation.
Cons:
Easy to integrate once our engineers got used to it. As we scaled, it was a challenge to move from Slack and email (old habits die hard) but this board helped us as we grew. And we grew exponentially in the past 2 years.
Great tool to help me keep track of the progress of my projects
Pros:
It makes keeping track of progress super easy, and the visuals are simple, no overcluttered design.
Cons:
I cant think of anything, everything has been working fine
Pure Kanban
Comments: We were using other systems to track our projects, we tried several and our associates didn't identify themselves with any of them, we try it all, time managers, other online tools, none worked until we found out Kanban Tool, since the beginning we fell in love with the tool, they are tracking their work better than ever before, now they don't feel pressured or intimidated by the tools is easy simple take them seconds to track their work and overall we are happy campers.
Pros:
The clean and intuitive user interface, it's really easy to feed and get information from the system, the personalization is great to, having your own domain, simplifies integration with internal systems, for us security is very important because we manage sensitive projects for our customers and Kanban Tool complies with our requirements like SSO, 2FA and user roles. The customization features are great too, you can start working with the system out of the box and once you are immerse in the daily activities you can customize the system to fit your needs it has lots of options at your disposal.
Cons:
I think small business should have high quality options to start, it would be great that the free version had at least a 4 users for free, but well I understand is a business too
An overral, great tool so far
Comments: As a solo developer, handy dandy tool so far
Pros:
Easy to use, rich features on free tier and great support
Cons:
At least on mobile version, old fashion and confusing to use
Alternatives Considered:
The best tool for project management and task management.
Comments: This is the best tool I can find for the task I wanted to achieve in my organization. We don't really use this as Project Management, rather we use it as Todo List for employees and the Kanban Board makes provides swimlanes which we assign to employees and they can add their tasks and prioritize them. This tool has been a great help to our daily task management.
Pros:
- Clean and minimal UI - Card types - Kanban Board and its live updates
Cons:
- No option to white label - No option to add email notification if a task is added for me
Easy to start, use and at least one very important USP
Pros:
You can start really easy and grow while using. The Setup is made very fast and the Powerups helps to not overload your Board. But the most useful feature which I didn't find anywhere else so far is, that you can show the ToDo-List of every card in the Board from the Beginning (always on). You don't need to expand it every time you want to look whats to do. Great feature! Hint: Check the PowerUps in Settings!
Cons:
You have to take care how much Cards you pin to the board becaus it can get look overloaded fast. The missing of "EPIC" leads to use Swimlines as Epic (which works surprisingly good), but makes the board big in some cases. In General, Dependencys between the Cards can be created and Cards can be linked, but there is no visible Dependency on the Board itself (f.e. cards in cards ore somethind like that). On the other side, this is a good opportunity to not over-administrate your work ;-)
Managing daily work
Pros:
The ability to color-code an put into customized swimlanes, gives a great overview of tasks and deadlines. The ability to take notes in tasks provides the option to have both an agile management tool and a document handling system in one place.
Cons:
I have not found any shortcomings in my use of Kanban tool, I have reached out to the support team, as I felt I was missing a feature, and they were quick to respond and guide me to the needed solution
Great tool to disseminate and monitor team tasks
Comments: 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.
Shore Labs Response

We highly recommend sorting cards by any chosen criteria, by right-clicking an empty space between cards in any column.
Great tool for productivity.
Comments: Improved efficiency and team output.
Pros:
It's a great tool to improve team productivity. Whether you're in software development, sales, or marketing, it's awesome. You can easily view everyone's tasks on one board and then assign new ones, rate tasks based on difficulty and time needed, set deadlines, and more.
Cons:
It is the best tool for project tracking and staying on task and productive. The only little complaint I have is that unless you log in, you can't easily see all the changes that have been made.
I used this with a small startup in the Philippines and it worked well.
Comments: An easy visual for a team that spoke two different languages. There were also members of the sales team that had very minimal experience with project management requirements, documentation, and technology as a whole. The visual ease of this tool created less stress and everyone knew what expectations were required yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What held them up, what actions they had that held others in limbo, and of course the ability to celebrate in unison when the team accomplished a goal.
Pros:
Language and cultural differences didn't slow down the learning of the team. The visual ease of the tool is phenomenal. Recording important files, checklists, due dates, and handoffs became very smooth.
Cons:
There were older execs on the board that still preferred to see a Gantt chart for the integration of different services. This flies against what Kanban was meant to do. There was no easy way to export a report and create a Gantt chart for others. External reporting as a whole is not easy.
