There are no workflows like jira Cons A little lag sometimes Sometimes you can over customize It’s a little clunky on behavior Review Source SN Sam N. Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Management and Customization" September 20, 2021 4.0 It is very good if you have a certain structured system in place Pros It is very easy to deployment Create and manage cards across the lanes Tagging cards properly and assigned to the users Very much flexible on planning releases and deployment Cons Not much very supportive to customization Or creating ad hoc customized lanes and cards very easily Customized logics or rules to control cards is also Not possible Review Source MA Manny A. President Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "BUYER BEWARE: No Refunds if you Prepay! " March 31, 2017 3.0 BUYER BEWARE: Do not pay for the full year as you do not get your money back if you are unhappy with the product or support. We tested the product a few months and then elected to use the basic product as it appeared to meet our needs. We paid for the full year but after a few months on the basic platform we decided to move to a different solution with more features at a lower cost. I asked for a refund of the unused months and I was told no. Pros Followed Kaban Lean Method Cons Basic Level is too limited compared to other solution providers Review Source JE Joanna E. Growth Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really good project management platform" September 25, 2018 4.0 Overall, we've been using Leankit for over three years and it's great. My team and I find it super easy to use, love the way it looks and has helped improve our productivity substantially. Pros Instead of a traditional list format you often find with other project management tools, LeanKit provides you with visual cards or 'projects' you can move into lanes, assign, etc. It's ease of use is awesome and it's pretty to look at. Cons They are constantly updating look and adding new features - which is great, but it sometimes causes issues. This isn't often, but when it does happen it can be frustrating. Also the reporting could be better. It doesn't have best insight.

Boards easily link to each other so you can as the project manager can have a view on the progress on sub boards. Being able to choose colours and card types to easily indicate a cards current intention within the current lane has made visibility of projects so much easier. Cons I do think their costing model is a little high based on some other options out their. I would love to see a small team version but with the needed options. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Systems Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Has Potential" October 22, 2020 4.0 It has the potential to be a little more. It kind of reminds me of ADP for project management, as far as looks go. Not particularly pretty but it's enough to manage what you need. I don't know how much my company paid for it or it's limitations but it's useful for now. Pros You can visually see the status and details with each card, that represents each project. It's almost like post-it notes on a board. You can have a one glance overview and see everything and who is assigned to them. If someone changes something in your project, you're immediately notified. If there are a lot of changes, it can be hard to keep up with it. Cons Once when you drill down on each project, it very thick with information, which can be good and daunting at the same time. But if there was a change, it can get confusing. I'm not a heavy user but I do keep up with the projects listed. The search is ok but I would like to see results in a better view. Review Source GJ Greeshma J. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good experience" February 24, 2022 4.0 Decent experience overall with easy and innovative UI for especially for Kanban boards. Easy to adapt to by both tech and non tech folks. Provides necessary features for project management and tracling Pros The UI is simple and sleak compared to other agile management tools used especially for kannan boards. Good desktop app too. Provides decent customisation options. Cons Free tier has less features. Less integrations provided. My team found it a bit on costlier side. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Copy Chief/Creative Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "LeanKit makes my first intro to kanban" December 1, 2017 4.0 Pros • InCREDible depth of learning content available. • Standard subscription is comprehensive and well-priced. • Easy-to-use RSS/calendar feeds make it easy to integrate with my calendaring. • Wide variety of templates help a newb like me get started quickly. • Responsive design well implemented across desktop and iOS app. Cons • The UI is absolutely functional and straightforward, but a little spartan. Apps you're going to live in all day need to inspire feelibngs of love and warmth (see Slack) • As someone completely new to lean and kanban, AND with my tendency to just in without reading any documentation, I'd love to see a search field in the in-app help rather than links to tutorials and knowledge base. I want to be able to click open the help window, type "how do I X the Y?" and have the results page pop open. • Inexplicably, clicking the (?) icon in the tool bar pops open the Privacy policy.

DevOps Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps us organize a lot of tasks for a medium sized team" November 10, 2016 5.0 We're still in the process of getting on top of our work plans, but already we feel the benefits of organizing a tremendous amount of tasks using this tool Pros Easy to use, rich functionality, good webinars and tools to help the team get on-board. Cons Even though there are lots of integrations available - seems there's still way to go. Inherent scrum supporting tools like burndown chart are not intuitive to use from day 1. Review Source SS Stephanie S. Manager, IT Service Desk E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Software, but a Little on the Pricey Side" May 5, 2020 5.0 Daily standups, ability to see at a glance what my team is working on and what they have accomplished. Pros This software had everything we wanted in a Kanban board. Ease of use, ability to customize how we wanted it to look with subcategories, etc. We used this for our daily standups and weekly meetings. Cons The features are great, the cost if what made us move to another product Review Source JS James S. Risk Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A strong Kanban app with focus on ease of use" February 21, 2018 4.0 Pros Great easy to use Kanban app with a clean interface and easy to use boards- helps by making chages to projects easy and quick Cons interface is a little old fashioned compared to other similar apps- could benifit from strong support for non apple eco systems Review Source AC Alexandra C. Finance Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and navigate software for project management" January 24, 2018 4.0 Pros Most actions can be done with a click of a mouse or even drag and drop, customizable colors for different types of tickets. Cons Sometimes when you drag a ticket and move it to another lane, it doesn't save there and you have to try to move it again and again, until it finally drops into designated lane. Review Source KZ Kathy Z. Executive Assistant Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to manage and track business task progress" September 21, 2017 4.0 It is an additional tool for our staff to use while tracking action items. Pros Lean kit is user friendly and easy to follow. The "card" format is visually pleasing and functional. Cons I would like to see more detail, possibly behind the cards and possibly varied formats for those that prefer a more list like structure Review Source Zuber A. Sr. Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A complete project management solution built with an agile approach!" March 27, 2022 4.0 I have been using this application as kanban board for agile planning and task creation. The story creation and the relation with individual tasks makes the project management more fluidic and easy to understand. I like its approach with the drag and drop with color coding and make it smart to understand the nuance of the business. Pros The agile project planning feature, which is built around kanban, data-analytics, and smart visual management is the most striking feature in this application. The information architecture around tasks, backlog, color coding, drag and drop of cards makes this application a must have for agile planning. Cons The application is not intuitive and it takes time for a new user to get acquainted. Reporting feature with actionable insights can be more detailed oriented to make this application a robust one. There should also be an option to control the scrolling as a lot tasks can crowd the board. Review Source JH Jhordan H.

La trazabilidad. El historial de movimientos de cada uno de los tableros. Los permisos que se pueden otorgar. Pros Lo que más me ha gustado es la facilidad para personalizar los tableros kanban, la clasificación de tareas, los reportes que se pueden generar en la herramienta, su usabilidad para cualquier persona. Cons Hasta el momento consideró que es una herramienta muy completa para la gestión de proyectos y actividades. Review Source David B. Production Support Clan Manager Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible lean project management tool" February 7, 2018 4.0 It was fast, flexible and offered team independence. While the company ultimately moved to a more feature rich tool that better served our needs, I would say that leankit is a great solution and should certainly be in your short list. Pros This is a nice relatively lightweight application that is easily configurable. Teams can quickly setup their own boards as they want and share them with other teams to view. The interface is simple and intuitive with a good level of configuration. Leankit delivers on the simplicity and ease of use. Cons At the time of using it, it was not easy to share work across multiple boards. The option at the time was to create a master board and create dependencies from there. That only worked if you planned for that at the beginning. However, if you were to decide later that you wanted to do this, it was much more difficult to retrospectively build that hierarchy. It also stripped new lines from descriptions, while there are workarounds with tags, it was frustrating that have wrapping automatically. Review Source TC Thomas C. Social Media & Content Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's a Project Tracking Tool | Not the Best, Not the Worst" April 6, 2020 3.0 Overall, my experience with LeanKit is fine. It's a project management tool and productivity tracker and each of those have their benefits and drawbacks. I don't find LeanKit to really be better or worse than any other one that I've used and it is valuable to be able to see the work that your coworkers have on their plates so you're not asking them to do something when they've already got enough on their plate. Pros I really like the way Leankit visualizes tasks as 'cards', so you can see blocks that you and your co-workers are working on at any given time. It can be a little visually overwhelming at first, but there are filtering options that you can turn on to only show you cards that you're attached to, or make other peoples' cards transparent so you get a more at-a-glance view of your tasks for the day/week etc. Cons It's fairly bare bones. On top of this, if you've only got one lane for projects being worked on and people put enough cards in there that the time surpasses the allotment, a notification comes up asking you to enter a reason that you're going over the time limit. You can enter whatever you want into the dialogue box making this basically superfluous. I wouldn't have as much of an issue with this if the lane showed you were over the time limit without the annoying popup. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Security Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good All-Around Project Board" December 3, 2019 5.0 We use it to project and plan several projects and tasks. It's connected to Okta and Okta groups. Everyone here uses it, so that's nice to have one tool across the organization. Pros LeanKit is a simple, intuitive way to create and track tasks for KANBAN. I've used others and I'm fairly happy with LeanKit. Integrates with SSO (Okta) and is very nice. Very easy to use. Link to other systems (ticketing systems, etc). Very good visual representation and good for collaboration. Cons None that I can think of. Other than difficulty deleting cards that you fat-finger, you need an admin to remove them. Just use it and get used to not having to delete cards for correction. Review Source CHG Cristian Henry G.

If you use kanban for your development seems to be a good tool Cons No tools to manage backlog for large product over several version. Planning capability for SAFe is poor. Reason for choosing Planview AgilePlace Recommend by the consultant we worked with Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Social Media Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust Tool" October 27, 2017 5.0 Pros It allows you to create a completely custom board and stays true to its KanBan nature. It easily allows you to see who's working on what and when a task has been sent off to you. Cons It sends you a ridiculous number of emails. Every little change made to a task or board is emailed to you - even if you did it. I understand some notification via email is possibly necessary, however, you should have the capability to subscribe to only certain types of email notifications. Review Source Emma R. Web Content & Audio Specialist Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Leankit: CSR made easy" December 19, 2018 4.0 Pros I think this program is great at clearing showing where you team is at with a project. There are so many ways to communicate different things. You can leave comments, move it to a physical lane, mark it with tags. Shows a good birds-eye view of where you team it. Parent cards and child cards help track projects across different boards. Very helpful and easy to use. Cons It's limitations with lanes and lack of sleek design can make it hard to look at and can be over whelming if there are many cards in a lane Review Source Abe Y. Director Of Finance And Operations Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "LeanKit as a business management tool" December 18, 2018 4.0 LeanKit is a good product. It really does help us to keep our work organized and ensures that we address the right priorities. Pros LeanKit helps is to keep all of our teams projects and collaborative efforts organized. It gives us a fairly good visualization of work progress. Cons My department’s work is fairly repetitive, so it can sometimes feel cumbersome to Kanban all of our work. Review Source Joel B. Business & Leadership Consultant, Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for personal and business kanban" November 28, 2018 5.0 Pros Simple to use and set up, visual and easy to navigate, drag and drop features. Cons Some of the reporting features were hard to customize or modify, and instructions were not always in depth enough. Review Source Paul H. VP Procurement - Technology - (Interim) Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Embedded in our business processes" January 6, 2016 5.0 We have been using LeanKit for more than three years at LateRooms. What started as a tool that was used by our product teams to track development work and releases has also been adopted by other teams within the business, for example I use the software to track procurement projects and the HR team use it to track the recruitment process.
