Wekan Reviews & Product Details

Ability to customize and build your own functionality. For our company and team we need our swimlanes, checklists, etc to be custom in eveyr scenario Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside(s) I have are basic aesthetics of the UI. I feel like things could easily be spruced up to look more grand. It's a little too utilitarian right now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing sprints became really convenient with WEKAN! I could collaborate with my colleagues, keep status, have a different task list, add label for categories, and assign tasks to people in my team. This all is really amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really anything I disliked though would love more features! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wekan is still in its infancy. As of me writing this review they haven't released a 1.0 yet. Yet it already has a lot going for it.

There are situations where a publicly hosted solution, like Trello, is not viable. I was in that situation myself. Sadly that was before Wekan was born; looking back I'd have chosen Wekan instead of another open source self hosted solution, that had some rough edges.

If you have the in house expertise it is easy enough to customize, as it's open source software.

In addition it doesn't come with a price tag attached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It still grows and one should check carefully if it provides all the needed features.

It would be nice if more people, especially companies would contribute to it. That would really boost development and help it gain features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maxime has done a great job with Wekan, it's simple to use and clutter free. It behaves quite intuitively, and being open source has the flexibility to be adapted or integrated with other tools in the toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike, it could do with some additional features such as multiple swim lanes, counters on boards (in board listing view) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to use and to understand, yet powerfull.

It focus on the basics things and do it well. The user interface is nice and easy to handle even for non tech person. It's a small project management tool for... small project.

It's free (as in free beer) and open source. You can host it on modest server, it's easy to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With few to no customisation possible big projects can be a mess to manage. There is no per user authorisations.

You will need one board per project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a fully fleshed out Kanban board system, similar to Trello. I like it more than Trello because it is free, open-source, and self-hosted (meaning my data stays my data). It also looks much better and more professional in my opinion, where Trello looks somewhat childish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's still a work-in-progress, so some core things that an organization would want to use are missing. For example, an administrative user who can manage the system and control user accounts. Since there is currently no way to restrict user sign-ups, I host my instance behind an HTTP authenticated nginx reverse proxy, but this isn't ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it is an open source kanban board, I can customise it the way I want. Host it on my system and use it. The board also has a lot of bells and whistles, but a low memory footprint.

Other than that, it is a perfect tool for team management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such, all seems to be fine. It delivers what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that wekan is open source and i being a coder can expand on its features in anyway i like and i also dont have to pay a thing to store my data as it gets recorded on my computer only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didnt really like The design altogether. I know it is inspired from Trello. But when i am in a board and open a card then close it, and then press The back button instead of taking me back to the dashboard it opens the card again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is designed really well and has all of the essential features for a Kanban board.

I have been hosting it myself on DigitalOcean for months and I've never had a single problem.

The web interface is responsive and mobile-friendly.

It is free and open source.

The Wekan team has a Gitter and appears very responsive so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lacks a few of the 'extra' features that Trello has like checklists, due dates, and good media integration.

No mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Essentially an open-source clone of Trello, although in some ways it is starting to branch off by itself now. Since you have control of the database and underlying code, it's quite easy to import, export, and back up your board data, which is very important. While Trello does have export functionality, it's marred by the fact that there is basically no way to import it back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some missing features compared to Trello, some of which are even quite basic. For example, you cannot set due dates, and while the team has stated that they would "like to support this feature", there's no sign of it yet.

A mobile application is also essential for me, since I use systems like this to organise my life. Since Wekan doesn't have one yet, it's hard to recommend to those who need access to their lists on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
