Likelihood to Recommend Kanban is well suited for a fast-paced working environment for larger teams who want continuous communication with users. Kanban is good for rapid development and daily meetings for updates and statuses. Kanban is less suited for smaller teams or groups who don't require collaboration and constant communication with involved users. Kanban is time-consuming and it takes additional effort outside of your regular work to maintain and manage the tool.
Read full review It does well as a CRM for a company to see all of their candidates or clients or whatever they are tracking. The sorting and grouping ability as well as the inclusion of many formula integrations is also helpful to organize content more meaningfully. If you don't have a lot of information that you need to track, this might have more than you require but it is still a great software to use.
Read full review Pros It provides a good basic overview of where tasks are on a timeline (particularly helpful for a pull-based approach). It provides a good collaborative space to have multiple folks commenting on multiple tasks. It does a good job of managing very basic visual elements of an agile development cycle.

Read full review File Management (I have always likes the way SeaTable allows me to handle files, and with the 4.0 release, significant improvements have been added.) Multiple options for team communications Use of SeaTable democratises the whole process of building workflows. Each team member can be encouraged to create their own "views" (These are filtered and ordered lists of the data your bases hold.), and base their workflows on those. If desired, they could add tick boxes and drop-down menus to create ways to manage their own tasks. They can add quality control options for management, providing them them with customised views that can serve as reports. These reports will will always be up to date, ensuring efficient real-time team communications on projects. Read full review Cons Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project. Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features. I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity. Read full review I would love to see it where if I change the ordering of columns of one view it doesn't make those same changes on another view. Sometimes I want to see things differently or in a different order and this does not allow that to happen. The above suggestions are the main ones that I feel would be an improvement. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We are more likely than not to renew our use of Kanban. Even with its limits, it still is a good product that fulfills our needs.
Read full review Usability Again, this is a strong tool for software teams using Agile that are distributed across multiple geographies. It can be good for co-located teams too, but there are better platforms on the market like
JIRA that provide a more built-out story.

Read full review Support Rating This is the best tool I had a chance to work with- since I started to use it I saved a lot of time and I made my work go smoothly.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We've only tried JIRA Agile and KanbanFlow before. Kanban Tool was the one that our team actually liked and enjoyed working with. Also - it's been much easier to get started with and to understand than some of the other two (JIRA in particular). Although JIRA has many more features that we would have possibly used, the user feedback on it was so poor we were afraid that the negativity would create time wasted and less "job satisfaction" amongst the team.
