In my experience with KanbanTool, one aspect that stands out as a drawback is the dated layout.

What do you like best about Kanban Tool?

Kanban Tool is very easy to start. Just define a few settings and start your work. Best Feature which I didn't find anywhere else so far: you can show the ToDo-List of every card in the Board from the Beginning (always on). You don't need to expand it every time you want to look whats to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanban Tool?

It's not a dislike, but I'm missing the visibility of dependencies in the board (f.e. Box in a box or something like that). You can add dependencies, but they are only showed by a paperclip or when you open a card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanban Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kanban Tool gives you a great overview of remaining tasks and their status. Of course, you can do this also by Excel or other tools. But it's much easier to drag some cards then to change a colum-entry. And in comparison to other Kanban Tools: You don't have to customize for a few days before you can take your benefit. Just a few settings, and it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kanban Tool?

The best thing about this tool is how it promotes visibility into every of our business progress, projects and tasks. We are able to get a high-level view of our projects in progress in real-time. It's simple just drag-and-drop to move tasks through each workflow stage. Hence saves time and money.

It's also easy to see exactly where tasks are getting stuck in our workflows, so it's possible to add resources, refine our processes, or even change requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanban Tool?

This tool has been very phenomenal and time saving. It's been very easy to plan and implement new workflows in just minutes.

The support team has also been very responsive and proactive 24/7. I don't have any dislike so far so good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanban Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Kanban Tool to create, prioritize, and assign tasks without leaving the Board in our projects. Boards are organised by issue status where it's easy to customize any Board to fit our needs.

Overall increase team performance with a visual project management tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Kanban Tool?

Kanban (in my words) is a framework to evolve delivery processes. In that, a kanban board needs to be as flexible and unopinionated as it can be, since its main goal is to represent the current workflow. Whoever tells you that Trello is a Kanban tool knows little about what Kanban really is.

Be assured, Kanban is not a board! The board is there just to make tangible what is not. Nothing can beat the flexibility of a whiteboard with post-its (or larger sheets), magnets, pencils and colored paper tape to arrange your lanes, columns, and information as you think it's better; but Kanban Tool does a great job in bringing your boards online without getting in the way.

It offers 90% of what you would probably need and gives you some nice metrics in change for the missing 10%

Collecting kanban metrics is not as exhausting as many think, but having it done for free is a nice boon.

With the pandemic I tried many tools to implement Kanban online and none performed as well as Kanban Tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kanban Tool?

It's not the sexiest interface ever, but it's nice and simple. And honestly, who cares?

One missing feature that is worth alone half of the aforementioned 10% is being able to split a column vertically. I use vertical splitting for parked stuff, process forks, etc.

Kanban Tool supports swimmlanes but they cross the whole board. You can also split a column vertically to create "substeps" and that's great but having a vertical split function would be well... perfection? :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kanban Tool:

If you need to move your Kanban board online for some reasons, look no further. Kanban Tool may not be the most popular kid in school, but it's for sure the most brilliant one. The only one that actually knows Kanban is unopinionated and gives you just the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kanban Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple and easy: bringing our physical boards online as they are.

It's not an easy task, but KBT does a damn good job giving us the best possible approximation we can imagine.

Also, it helps gathering some numbers, which doesn't hurt! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
