Agile Consultant & Agile Trainer Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kanbanize = 100% Kanban Method" April 18, 2022 5.0 You can use Kanbanize on a single team/department (well, in fact, their pricing policy makes it worthwhile if you are about 15 users or more), across several teams, for a company area... or for the whole enterprise. It's one of the more scalable software we've ever seen. Pros Kanbanize lets you effortless implement Kanban Method principles and practices to your company, gaining visibility of what is going and improving performance at all levels. It doesn't matter if it's a top-down strategy or a bottom-up initiative, Kanbanize will help you for sure. Cons Flow-based analytics are spectacular, but the built-in tool for designing reports have a lot of room for improvement. Good news is that, if you need to gain deeper data insight, you can easily integrate Kanbanize with 3rd party business intelligence tools. Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[YouTrack](https://www.capterra.com/p/123548/YouTrack/) Reason for choosing Businessmap Kanbanize has several easy to use and powerful functionalities we felt in love: customs fields, business rules, workspaces and card templates, etc. Review Source Marianela F. Water Treatment and Environmental Management Consultant Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kanbanize, an agile project management software that increases productivity." January 16, 2023 5.0 Kanbanize and implements easily and no learning curve is required for its use; The Kanban methodology has no prerequisites for its use and guarantees collaborative work with high visibility. We only need to know the flow of the process in which we are going to work and the activities that have been assigned to us, the responsibilities are established by task and many of the actions on it are carried out directly by those responsible for fulfilling them.Another important feature of Kanbanize that makes it flexible is that communication is optimized since the need to hold meetings is reduced because everyone can see the process on the board. Pros Its implementation is quite simple since it allows to visualize all the impediments that represent an obstacle in the fulfillment of the activities planned in a project, in addition to having the possibility of describing comments and observations that indicate the causes of the deviations, to make the corrections. at an early stage.With the implementation of Kanbanize, we achieve customer satisfaction thanks to the improvement in delivery times and the increase in the general quality of the product or service that we have modeled. Cons Kanbanize's strength is based on activity monitoring, which does not show or manage more than the information that is necessary, nor does it focus on the mathematical analysis of data and metadata to generate complex progress charts in a project. It does not focus, for example, on performing a percentage efficiency analysis based on compliance dates, or developing correlation graphs for variables identified within the project. This platform, based on the kanban methodology, is entirely based on agility, prioritizing quality, applying waste reduction, and being very flexible when it comes to successful implementations and continuous improvement. Switched from [Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) Kanbanize helps to improve team collaboration very easily and aligns the planning of large projects with their daily execution. Review Source RD Rimas D. CEO Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used almost 4 years but switched to other" December 15, 2019 3.0 When we had few users it was working perfect. Ease to set up project workflow, make different versions. If you start uploading link or attach some files to kanban cards or add more users, satisfaction is over. Computer slow downs enormously and in 2 years nobody suceeded to solve that. We were trying to minimase amount of data, minimise active users. Standard report ar eno use at all. If you want to have dynamic report and track business leads and projects in is necessary to connect extrenal software to make normal report which are more dynamic. Integrated reports are no use. This is my opinion as CEO who was running 4 factories and wanted to control project by kanbanize. We switched to Odoo. Pros Friendly interface, easy to set up. Logic ir very simple and comfortable. We used in our sales processes and new product implementation proceses. 10-14 regular users were regulary connected. About 400-500 kanban leads. Pricing is ok. Could be free version for 3-5 users, it would help to promote software more. Cons When we connected more users and opened more leads kanban cards it started to be extremely slow. Iphone or android application interface is different and does not have the same navigation functions. Reports are not comfortable. We used external software to generate report (dynamic reports) not static print outs. I see that IT guys more focus on functionality vut forget interface and reports to track project what is exactly CEO needs. For small company to play is ok. For bigger too weak. Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/) Reason for choosing Businessmap It was recomended by consulting company. And worked quite good till we loaded with much data and more users. Later we switched to Odoo as they alow to run on own server. Review Source Response from Businessmap June 2, 2020 Thank you for your review, Rimas. Sorry to hear you switched to another tool! We are constantly improving our product in order to meet users' expectations and needs, so your feedback is much appreciated. We are glad to hear you liked the interface and found our software logical and easy to set up. Kind regards. Kanbanize team. Benjamin J. Logistics Supervisor Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kanbanize revolutionized our process" October 26, 2020 5.0 It’s changed the way we do business. What started as a way to track production in a fabrication shop has evolved and found a place in nearly every department within the company. Our Estimating, BIM/CADD, Purchasing, Project Install, Warehouse, and Manpower departments all use Kanbanize to track their work processes. Pros Kanbanize has given us a platform to bring our teams together. What once was accomplished through emails and phone calls, is now accomplished with the click of a button. From design to installation and everywhere in between, projects are easily tracked in an easy to use and visually appealing Kanban board. Cons It took a while for us to recognize and rollout all the features Kanbanize had to offer. On first glance the software is simple and intuitive, but there is so much power in the analytics, business rules, Google sheet imports and third party integrations. Once we realized the software’s full potential and learned how to take advantage of all it had to offer, things really took off.

A lot of kanban software is geared toward software development, but Kanbanize was versatile and customizable to perfectly fit our specific construction/production environments. Review Source Carlo G. Digital transformation Coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The ultimate Kanban Board" December 16, 2020 5.0 Pros I suggest Kanbanize sincerely to anyone who wants to implement a modern Kanban system, maybe it can be even better than physical boards Cons I would love a freemium version that is not limited in time, but only with limited functionality. I think it could help many love this software as much as I do. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Kanbanize is lightweight, comprehensive and implements a Kanban board in a complete way. Without the need for compromise. It also has a clear, simple and straightforward business model. No tricks. Review Source Mahmoud G. Agile Coach and Trainer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best Kanban tool" September 9, 2021 4.0 I love the flexibility of designing the board and the way I can visualize the whole system in one board. Pros I really like the features provided by Kanbanize to fit the Kanban systems I designed. The application is simple and to the point. Cons The charts, the cards' usability, and the lack of shortcuts really make it hard to use the application. Also, there is no mobile application. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Jira is not as flexible as Kanbanize when it comes to board design. Review Source Luiz Henrique P. Tools specialist Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and helpful" April 14, 2020 5.0 Kanbanize made a better organization possible to fulfill my tasks, especially for development projects. I became a more productive employee. Pros It is very easy to deal with this app. Kanbanize allows in a very practical way to work with agile methods for project development/implementation. It basically works with to do/doing/done method, draggind the cards with all details. We can organize all ideas quickly before setting priorities. Cons Sometimes it's a little bit difficult to find an old card to review a project. As I work in an environment with more than 50 Kanbanize users, and we create separated pages by department, I sometimes waste a little time (5 to 10 minutes) to find the card.

Businessmap is a strong Kanban tool with standout technical features. Pros Businessmap stands out as a powerful platform thanks to its seamless integration with tools like Power BI, enabling robust data connectivity and visualization. Additionally, its built-in AI assistant adds a significant edge, enhancing user experience and productivity beyond what other tools typically offer. Cons The current limit on the number of initiatives could be enhanced to support broader planning. Additionally, the reporting tool would benefit from greater configurability, allowing more fields to be customized within reports. Review Source AD Ana D. ATD Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly positive experience" June 5, 2025 5.0 Using Businessmap.io has been a highly positive experience. The platform offers a powerful combination of visual project management, workflow automation, and strategic portfolio tracking. Pros Easy to use, nice and smooth workflow visualization, flexible and customizable, plus nice staff behind and great response time! Cons Might be a little expensive for smaller teams, boards with heavy data and automation can cause performance lags Review Source JM Jessica M. RandD planner Plastics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "R&D planner " October 18, 2024 5.0 Pros This software allows you to create and link differents boards Cons It is not easy to understand at the beginning, but with enough practice it becomes very powerful. Review Source IG Ivaylo G. Program Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible tool for multi team implementation" February 24, 2021 5.0 Pros The software is easy to implement and adapt. It ahs excellent visualization capabilities and supreme analytics. Well accepted by teams and managers. Cons No free version. Only 1-month trial available. Alternatives considered [SwiftKanban](https://www.capterra.com/p/42488/SwiftKanban/) Reason for choosing Businessmap I just started using Kanbanize and team liked it. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) The software was not well accepted by managers. It was difficult to adapt it to the needs of the teams. It had insufficient built in analytics. Review Source RF Robert F. Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Complete Kanban Method" June 8, 2020 5.0 For a product of this sophistication, the learning curve is very gentle. You can quickly implement and benefit from the most useful features. The support, documentation and the training facilities are excellent. Virtually everything you might want to do to implement the complete Kanban method is at your fingertips. Pros I most like its ease of use; breadth of features; analytics; portfolio kanban; regular improvements; excellent support; integration capabilities Cons I have not found anything particularly unlikable Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Businessmap Kanbanize provides extensive features enabling you to truly analyze, manage and optimize the flow of work. This is the real reason for using the kanban method. Other tools completely lack the analytics and the portfolio capabilities that are built in to Kanbanize, or they require complicated integrations that you have to design and implement yourself to achieve similar goals. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) I wanted a product that enabled good management according to the complete Kanban method, rather than a trivial product that focused only on visualization and automation of tasks.

Agile coach Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kanbanize the only way to visualise across all types of teams" February 4, 2023 5.0 Super impressed Pros The visualisation and linking of work.

CTO Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The perfect tool for Kanban & Scaled Kanban " March 8, 2021 5.0 I am a big fan of Atlassian, but for Kanban, they are really at the stone age without expensive plugin. Kanbanize provided us the perfect tool. Simple for management to get the right level of update without the details; and cross team dependencies to ensure we were not missing anything. Pros . The 2 boards view (Management and Team) . The Top-Down (from Initiative, Portfolio, Project, Team) . The Bottom-Up (real time update) Cons Management of mandatory custom fields in workflow. It can be done, but it is not as straight fwd that it should be Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) 1) Poor features for Kanban. 2) Management refused to use Jira, as it was too complex Review Source Mathias T. Co-Founder & COO Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flow Management for your entire organisation" July 12, 2023 5.0 We are using Kanbanize since 2017 for ourselves as well as all our clients and have time and again seen amazing results of several hundred percent throughput improvements or lead time reductions. But I have to reiterate my warning that the tool is only part of it and that it will need to be professionally implemented to really see these improvements. Pros Where many workflow and Kanban Tools only take care of very simplistic workflows and any changes need to be made by an administrator, Kanbanize is highly flexible and user friendly and extremely powerful to map and track multi-level workflows and projects.Additional to the features, software support is critical and here the team at Kanbanize excels with a 90%+ resolution rate within the same business day. Cons Many people do not realise that "a fool with a tool is still just a fool". Kanbanize looks very simple to implement and is very user friendly, but to really reap the benefits of a Digital- or Agile Transformation or any process improvement, it is imperative that one digs a lot deeper into the underlying organisational setup and workings. Reason for choosing Businessmap In 2017 we chose Kanbanize as the winner when doing an in-depth comparison (some of the other tools are no longer around). We are regularly doing a review of the market to see what is available and up to now we have not regretted our decision as Kanbanize keeps at the forefront of developments in this space and in the Gartner Magic Quadrant... Review Source MC Mike C. Project Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Agile Engineering - Kanbanize can make it happen" January 31, 2022 5.0 The team, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], answered questions, shared advice and made the business side of things work. We are a university, no other company with a tool at this level of capability would help. Pros At the most basic level, Kanbanize organizes and manages the data. Benefits are realized in the first 10 minutes of use. After that, as needs grow, the capabilities are waiting for use. I can brief students on the process, and they are able to integrate their team. Most have never seen Kanban tools before. One of my project managers, who had not used the tool before, set up business rules and templates for a student simulation project with teams all over the world. Cons There are no negatives. The closest I can come is a UI element in one of the upgrades. I asked about it and it was changed several days later. Reason for choosing Businessmap The primary reason was functionality. The tool had to perform. And, it does. A close second is the quality of the training materials freely provided on the site. We had planned to use the training no matter the tool selected. When we looked deeper, they had the best tool as well. Review Source DK Daniel K.

Pros I like high adaptability. It makes it a bit complex to get started and finding the optimum way to structure your board(s) but in the end you can really create your own tailor made solutions. Cons \- for repetitive sets of tasks it is not possible to have default pre and successor relationships set up in a card template- for personal task planning I love to assign my tasks in outlook to week days at the beginning of the week, this I miss when using Kanbanize as my main task planning tool Review Source KS Karen S. Agile Coach Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool for managing teams and goals" June 16, 2023 5.0 Today, monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness indicators of teams is much easier due to the use of Kanbanize, in addition to the integration between teams, with other tools. For me it is the best workflow management tool we have on the market today. Pros The most impactful feature of Kanbanize for me is the ease of extracting efficiency metrics from teams and tracking OKRs, followed by the ease of integration with other tools. Cons The question of graphs of efficiency indicators and graphs made by advanced filters should allow more customizations (changing colors, using fields, etc.) Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Businessmap Price and easy of use Review Source PK Piyush K.

Partner Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Kanban Tool " September 28, 2018 5.0 The Kanbanize folks are so knowledgeable and so ready to help when ever we need it. We deal with many saas companies and Kanbanize are at the top of the field. They get how to nurture and support their users. They also roll out new functionality every month. The application just keeps getting better and better. Pros Kanbanize is a very flexible tool set that allows us to clearly map out specific workflows for our clients. Clients love it because they can see and update the status of all of their work within their specific workflow not a workflow imposed on them by a software package. We also like the flexibility of the cards made possible by custom fields, attachments, images and so on. Cons Kanbanize is very feature rich. When users initially get on the platform, they can suffer some intimidation. However, Kanbanize is so easy to use and so well thought out, it's amazing to watch people work with it for the first time. Within hours and even minutes in some cases, our clients are moving through the boards and managing their work, all while having lots of fun! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder & COO Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My favourite Kanban Tool" September 27, 2018 5.0 I have to highlight the responsiveness of the Kanbanize team to queries and support issues. Very impressive! Pros Very intuitive to use (but beware, there is much more under the hood than meets the eye at first). A powerful business tool and awesomely responsive support team. Cons As with any software, there are areas where the functionality does not meet our needs, but the benefits far outweigh the negative areas. To name two limitations that come to mind: - The automation is very powerful, but there are not too many options and one cannot really start building advanced logic. - There also is no native link to external reporting tools, but there is a work-around to export an advanced query to Excel and then use that as source.

It has a lot of features and it is able to scale in enterprise, without becoming difficult for a small business or for a single user on personal projects. The support is friendly and always asking for feedbacks from users, to continuously improve the product. Cons Missing some integrations (mail clients, ifttt, integromat...)
