"Best Kanban Software Ever"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

Kanbanchi is helpful to manage kanban boards integrated with Google Drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

Pricing: Kanbanchi is quite expensive so it is ok to buy licences only if you are using it very intensively. Free version is also powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Task management made easy - and in fact, pleasant!"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

The simple, clean interface that takes minutes to learn, yet paves the way to tons of great features that cover all of my project management needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

On a smartphone, the tool doesn't feel as optimised as it should be. It's usable to an extent, but only for very short periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

Give it a try, you won't regret it. If you're looking for a kanban-style project management tool, I'd fully recommend Kanbanchi. It's easily my favourite out of the handful I looked into and tried out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this at work for managing my day-to-day tasks as a web developer, and at home as a tool to plan my wedding! Being able to drag cards from one column to another to indicate whether they are to do, in progress, or done, really helps me to establish a sense of progress. At a glance, I can see where everything is. Clicking on any card instantly shows me all of the notes and links I've saved to that task, and the loading is super fast. My productivity really benefits from this snappy approach that shows me all I need to see in one view.

I'm even able to add an image to represent a card. Being able to do this is hugely helpful at work where many of my tasks have titles that don't stick with me, because many of the tasks come in and are turned over quickly - but through a visual representation, I know exactly what every card is for. As a person who seems to work more effectively with visuals than with lists of text for tasks, this tool has made my life at work a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and easy to use does not mean reduced content or features"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

The simplicity of creating cards, editing and moving them is the reason I have stuck with Kanbanchi. However, it is simple, clean design, rather than lack of options that makes it so good. I can record and send all the info I need in one place, share with colleagues and export to non-users, which is vital for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

The main thing that i would like to see is the cards being able to be minimized individually in the same way you can minimize the categories. When you have a card full with information, even with limited preview, still can take up a lot of space when you have a lot of cards open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working in an NGO every individual wears many hats with daily conflicts of schedule, time and money and so anything that makes that easier for me to navigate has a direct impact on how well we can support the impoverished communities in Cambodia. Less money spent on administration means more donation dollars get through to those who need it, living in extreme poverty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

Nothing - anything that shows up as an issue is corrected right away.

The few issues we experienced were addressed within a few days by the support team at Kanbanchi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

Kanbanchi allows us to work the way we want. We can adjust boards/cards in ways that work for each group. It has allowed my production teams to be more communicative with each other which is necessary, as everyone is in different locations. I couldn't be happier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everyone needs to know where something is in our process; this allows for that. If we decide to expand parts of the process, Kanbanchi allows for that.

Benefits are that everyone can work together in an easy to use environment. We can see issues before they become problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and easy Kanban app with good integration to Google Apps"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

Quick and easy to setup and use, including its integration with Google Apps. Our sensitive data is stored in Google Apps so being able to easily link to it there (rather than "attach" a file and have it hosted by a third party) means we don't need to change any of our document management practices. The ability to have ME upgrade and access the Gantt chart while everyone else just adds their information to the Kanban view was the reason we went with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

There's nothing to really dislike. It's a basic app to do basic things; if you're looking for something heavy and feature-rich you might be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Needed a way to have a small team track their mini-projects in a way that everyone could see; that would keep all project charters easily accessible, show where in the workflow the project is at, and what the status is (red / yellow / green). I wanted to be able to convert that to a Gantt chart for visually understanding when projects are scheduled to end and resources would become available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Small Team Collaboration"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

With a clean UI and robust options, Kanbanchi immediately became a favorite project management tool for our small nonprofit team. Having a free option and linking to Google Apps were absolute necessities, but Kanbanchi goes above and beyond to provide an excellent product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

The dashboard emails are useful, but a direct notification for individual cards would be very helpful. Someday when there is an Android app, push notifications would be fantastic (something like Google Keep does, since you have a similar card-based system).

An issue that prompted me to contact support was an error that was being caused by trying to access my dashboard when my personal Google account was set as my "default" instead of my work account that is linked to the dashboard, even though both accounts were actively signed in. This is easily fixable, but caused a bit of a headache until I figured it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

The interface is intuitive, but take some time to walk through the features with your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have two active boards right now; an event planning board with document organization and deadline management (the GANTT chart is excellent for this) and a grant management board for organizing grant application deadlines and foundation contact information.

"That's the product i needed"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

I like the friendly but efficient user interface and the constant motivation of the developing team to make their product greater every day. Every time i use Kanbanchi i feel like this is a software made by a creative team for creative minds. It adapts perfectly to my working habits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

Some missing sharing features as the ability to share just a single "card" or to add someone to collaborate with without assigning the task to him. but i'm sure they will be added soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

If you are searching for a Kanban software, Kanbanchi is the best you can find, i've tried a lot of them before making my choice. In my opinion i think it is the most complete one and the most versatile from all the other ones i had to try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an IT solution designer i needed a product good enough to help me out manage the multiple projects i work on simultaneously and have an update on each one of them with ease. and Kanbanchi did the job perfectly. Also requesting help or support by the other member of my work team is made easy by the ability to share templates and assigning tasks to my coworkers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Managing Events with teams is easy now! "

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

I really like the user interface when managing events. I color code the event type from Tradeshows, meetings, seminars and speaking engagements.

I use the tags on the level of participation. Then I created columns to reflect the major status of the events, pending, just started, working on, almost complete, and done.

The company attendees/speakers love the interface since they get a visual sense of order. Kanbanchi is much better than using a standard project management tool because of visual simplicity and UI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

There is not much to dislike. I would propose that I can print the interface to PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

Consider if your company needs tons of project features over simplicity. Before committing to advance project management with large teams of people, start with Kanbanchi. Also, you can use Kanbanchi as a portfolio of projects, and each card can have links to the detailed projects docs and sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having one view of major events in a visual format is much easier for executives and busy people to view and understand. Also, I can present a portfolio and roadmap of events over the year with ease - since each event has an event logo. No need to recreate additional docs and presentation slides. Using KKanbanchi

is a huge time saver when managing events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Now I use Kanbanchi for all my projects"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

Once you understand how a kanban works, you will find out that kanbanchi is like having a real Kanban and even I will say easier and better because you can add color tags and name them, additional you have tags, and color in your cards and you can work anywhere and with you team even being in different locations vs a real kanban board.

The idea of the checklist it is an awesome feature that allows you to split your task in a way that could be very well defined, then even you can add weights to each item, which is perfect.

The comment session allows us to have a log of what is happening with each card. And also this works to check the activity in the entire kanban, making easy to follow what is happening, especially when you are working with a team.

It is connected with your Google Apps, attaching documents to a card, is just a perfect complement, having your kanban in your Google Drive, share it like everything else, again is just perfect.

There are more things like due date, related cards, wich is a new feature, assign a task to a user, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

Nothing important, hahaha, the colors of the cards :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

Look for a tutorial a video of the kanban methodology and I think with not too much effort you may find it very useful, after that kanbanchi as the tool to do the work is just fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

After many years working in MS Project, then trying many other tools and ideas to manage my projects, I found kanban and I like it, but in my world it will not work on a physical kanban board, so I look for something else, founding Kanbanchi and so far solve all my organization with different projects, for different clients, for different activities, with teams and even different teams for each project, just wow, I love it.

"Saving my sanity"

5/5

What do you like best about Kanbanchi?

I was recently working on a multi-level project which required me to keep track of every step and then repeat those steps. I was also able to assign each step a weight, which counts toward the completion percentage. This is important when glancing at the project dashboard; I can see which card is closer to completion (and so can anyone with whom I've shared the card or project). Although I didn't share this project with anyone else – much like you would with other project management programs, i.e. Basecamp or Trello – I plan to use this function in the future.

(Honestly, if it wasn't for Kan-banchi I would be in a padded room somewhere crying myself to sleep.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanbanchi?

I haven't found anything to dislike about Kan-banchi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanbanchi:

The support for Kan-banchi is incredible. I wrote two emails, one with a feature suggestion and the other just saying how much I liked it. I got an email back from Support the same day. Awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanbanchi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kan-banchi obviously offers a paid version, but I was able to operate just fine with the free version. Cost was a key feature and benefit in deciding to use it. I could see if I was billing someone for my time that getting the paid version – which tracks time on projects – would be extremely helpful.

I did share this with a colleague in my department, and I plan on using it for projects in the future. Being able to collaborate and see how far the other person is on their assignments is very helpful. It eliminates confusion, excess communication about project progress, and ambiguity when telling a VP how much has been accomplished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
