What do you like best about Zenkit?

For solo project and task management (I haven't evaluated it for group productivity), Zenkit is best-in-class. It has a formidable array of features that are not found in any other SMB app:

- fully drag n drop (folders, projects, tasks, sub tasks)

- nested sub tasks (up to 10 levels deep)

- highly customizable views (list, hierarchy, kanban, gantt, etc)

- customizable entry forms

- custom fields

- cusomizable filters

- scheduling and reminders

- calendar ingtegration (not tested yet)

- third-party app integration (trello, others)

- nice color schemes for tags (not the drab flat colors other apps have)

- cross platform support (win, android - I don't use apple, so haven't tested)

- responsive support (less than 1 hour during working hours CET)

- not laggy, responsive navigation between main views and sub tasks views.

- company is based out of Germany, so GDPR-compliant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zenkit?

Not much to dislike - I haven't fully tested Android, but it seems that drag n drop is limited on that platform (to be confirmed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zenkit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because if _fully_ supports drag n drop and hierarchical folders-projects-tasks-subtasks, Zenkit enables progressive project task decomposition - it's extremly easy to set up a high-level project structure and then decompose high-level tasks down to as much detail as needed.

Alternatively, it's easy tol view tasks from multiple perspectives - list, hierarchical, kanban, etc.

Bottom line - this is one of the few PM / TM tools that really does enable productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, the mobile app requires improvement. It is not as user-friendly as the web version and provides a poor user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zenkit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Structure and clarity were added to our security operations. Zenkit made us better track tasks, assign resources, and collaborate effectively on one platform. Therefore, its use resulted in increasing our team’s efficiency and keeping a proactive mindset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perfect tool for organizing the orders in our lab and keeping track of everthing! It's nice that Zenkit can be used collaboratively. The colour coding is also very helpful!

Thanks to Zenkit, for making things a lot easier in our lab :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's hard to find articles from years ago in the archive, if I don't know the exact name. Other than that, there is nothing I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zenkit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are organizing our orders for the lab in Zenkit. Whenever someone need something, he/she puts it in Zenkit so that we don't forget anything, when we are ordering chemical from different suppliers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zenkit?

In our team, we use Zenkit to sort and organize orders. I find it positive that Zenkit allows you to always keep an overview and is easy to use. The drag-and-drop feature also makes working easier and saves you from having to enter data multiple times. Since multiple people have shared access to Zenkit, collaborative work is possible. If you have questions despite the easy handling of Zenkit, customer service is there to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zenkit?

The only drawback is that finding old entries can be a bit difficult, which could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zenkit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zenkit helps us keep track of our orders. Anyone can easily enter and edit the entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I genuinely appreciate the user-friendly nature of Zenkit. The abundance of tutorials has been immensely helpful, and the intuitive UI makes navigation a breeze. Additionally, collaborating with a team using Zenkit is a seamless and enjoyable experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zenkit?

I would like to set up a view that displays my personal tasks in a Kanban format, with a vertical division based on projects. I'm uncertain whether I haven't found the option for this yet or if it's not currently available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zenkit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organizing my own tasks and projects in my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Peter Oehler of Zenkit

Hi!

Thank you for the five-star review! We appreciate that you enjoy using Zenkit.

Regarding viewing your tasks within a Kanban the filter could help. You could simply add a filter with the condition "Assigned to", select yourself and save it to your board. It will then be accessible whenever you need it.

Alternatively, you could also switch to Zenkit Project. Here we offer so-called "Smart Views" within which you will also be able to view all your assigned tasks within one view.

I will insert knowledgebase articles here.
