Overall Satisfaction with Kanban Tool

PRO: Very simple and easy to start and use. Cards are very basic but can be customized and "powered up!"

CON: Boxes and cards should have a better/smarter resize. I'm using the lowest Zoom but since I have a lot of boards, cards, swim lanes, it can get crowded. However, it was the only product I've found so far that allowed me to do this.

OVERALL: I shifted all of our projects and tasks into Kanban Tool. Information that was scattered across emails, other PM software, and ticket trackers is now consolidated in several boards, with a simple and minimalist view of everything.

Pros

  • Overview of all cards, even from multiple lanes and boards.
  • Can be customized from extremely simple, to highly informational.
  • Support is great!

Cons

  • File upload/integration.
  • Card resizing.
  • User/account management.
  • Better communication and organization of ongoing projects.
  • We are a very small team, with many areas to work on. Having everything in one system gives us a lot of visibility.
  • Greatly reduced costs from using other tools that were much more expensive.
Doesn't allow to easily customize swim lanes or add multiple boards to a single view. Other products were very expensive, even for small teams.

Appropriate: I shifted all of our projects and tasks into Kanban Tool. Information that was scattered across emails, other PM software, and ticket trackers is now consolidated in several boards, with a simple and minimalist view of everything.

Not Appropriate: When dealing with attachments for cards, the popup to select/upload files is not very easy to use. I would like to be able to use the Google Drive integration to upload files directly from my computer and store them in a specific folder in GD.
