Pros and cons

Customer service has been super responsive and helpful. I intend to consult them as I learn more about using this platform.
A good quality product for a reasonable price. Support staff have been friendly and helpful when needed.
My overall experience has been super positive and I'm hoping that we will adopt Kanbanchi across our entire organization. When I'm finally able to return to my workplace, I'm taking Kanbanchi with me.
An Undo fuction to rollback wrong action (e.g. wrong Drag&Drop cards). An Italian language interface (some spare user requires this).
Missing a WBS view for display alternative forms.
The only thing I don't like about kanbanchi is that there is no the kanbanchi app.

Kanban Boards Online

Reviewed 4 years ago

I love doing Kanban the Japanese way and it's made simple for me and my PM team via Kanbanchi!

Pros

Thanks to my Japanese friends I was introduced to Kanban boards. We used to do it via post its onto the bulletin board... until it got too crowded, and post-its stopped being sticky. So, we decided to migrate to an online/digital Kanban board. We chose Kanbanchi to complement our G Suite subscription. We display our board via a lard LED screen in the office, and Kanbanchi works well for us. We change...

Cons

No mobile app. Yes, accessible easily via web browser but it would be great to have a dedicated mobile app for both iOS and Android.

Very user friendly and preferred over Jira

Reviewed a year ago

Very positive. All departments have adopted.

Pros

It's very Google-like and that made it easier for my team to adopt. Tried using Jira before and my team struggled with it so adoption was low. We're not a tech company and this suited us much better.

Cons

Adding users and licenses is not intuitive at all. I would like to see resolution types added to completed tasks. I would like to see this company add a product like Confluence to their range of products.

Kanbanchi is fine, and accessible, but not exactly "usable" for the enterprise.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Minimal. Keeps us on track as a team, but doesn't really do much else useful.

Pros

Ease of working in the portal. Easy to create, move, work within cards. Minimalistic approach makes it easy for users.

Cons

Reporting is pretty lame. Plus, the new requirement of extra licensing to organize columns by priority was a jab to the user. Moving cards can be flaky. Disorganized Trello feel.

High School Innovation Center Project Management

Reviewed 4 years ago

It's been great... The limited functionality of the School Version is sometimes noticed but we manage to use it in our daily workflow quite well and are grateful to everyone at Kanbanchi for creating such a great software.

Pros

Kanbanchi is very easy to deploy across the Google Apps Suite and get my students on-board quickly. They are already using Google Apps in their daily schoolwork do It was a painless onboarding process. It also has a easy to learn and use interface. My students were off a running in one class period. It is a great way to keep everyone on the same page and up to date on projects.

Cons

Trying to convince my school administrators to pay for a ongoing license fee is not the easiest conversation to have. I would like to have a one time purchase price available.

Perfect for these times

Reviewed 3 years ago

My overall experience has been super positive and I'm hoping that we will adopt Kanbanchi across our entire organization. When I'm finally able to return to my workplace, I'm taking Kanbanchi with me.

Pros

While I am sure to have benefitted from using Kanbanchi previous to the Covid-19 pandemic, I was getting by without it because my normal day-to-day schedule and priorities were largely dictated by my teaching schedule. When I found myself working from home and with much more time to focus on neglected projects and new ideas, Kanbanchi came to the rescue. It has allowed me to easily generate and organize my long term and daily objectives, share them with my project partners, and track my time on each task.

Cons

As a newer user, I'm not sure I'm even aware of all the features Kanbanchi includes, and at this point don't feel that anything is missing.

Kanbanchi is the management tool we were looking for!

Reviewed a year ago

Overall, it is the project management software we were looking for! Highly intuitive, integrated to Google Cloud tools, the ability to assign tasks to team members and see your tasks is very helpful. Great for growing businesses and nonprofits, especially!

Pros

Assigning tasks is as easy as just creating the task in the checklist and checking the team member. Kanbanchi is highly integrated with the Google Cloud environment, which we use on a daily basis. Cards are easy to create and can be added to Google Calendar. The Gantt chart is very helpful allows us to graphically see the distribution of events and tasks.

Cons

Subcards from cards can't be collapsed in the Kanban view. Tasks in checklist can't be added to Google Calendar.

Collaboration with Google

Reviewed 2 years ago

Very user-friendly. A very clear interface and a great support-team.

Pros

The collaboration with Google Workspace. We were looking for a tool that integrates easy with out Google Workspace environment. Kanbanchi gives us what we need. First olf all, integration with google calendar. If you are using a lot of cards, it will get a bit unclear. But that will be the case with many other kanban tools. The use of subtasks is a great solution that will solve this problem us.

Cons

The possibility of translating Kanbachi in Dutch. But this is a minor issue. If using this in a classroom in a primary school, thius can be an issue.

Features & Integrations

Reviewed a year ago

Very satisfied, and Kanbanchi has eliminated multiple sheets, lists and notes throughout our organizations as well as fostered even higher degree of multi-zone collaboration.

Pros

The integration to Google suite is seamless, fast and a real game changer. Kanbanchi enables my teams to work across the globe and across time zones - whilst always presenting a real-time view on critical path, issues, risks and progress. Features such as multiple checklists with item deadlines and assignments, pinning of custom properties as well as capable searching facilities are outstanding.

Cons

The missing option to linke boards (master / slaves) - although a nice feature if available - is not a critical missing feature.

Best G Suite integration tool for project management

Reviewed 4 years ago

We can now manage our business with G Suite integration on Kanbanchi, this tool is really great. All the charts and integration plugins are readily available so that we can manage the project smoothly. Our clients are thereby happy !

Pros

The major advantage as said is the integration with Google and the ability to manage all the project details like Gantt Chart, Kanban boards etc in one place. Best and unique features that we liked is the 100% compatible with Google G Suite. The tool helps to make our team more compatible with the project needs and make them more efficient. Our all major issues faced during project management is being overcome with the use of this great tool !

Cons

The major issue is with the lack of a mobile app, they do not have iOS and Android app. This will make us to monitor the changes on web browser. Please release the app asap.

A refreshing project and task management tool

Reviewed 6 years ago

I had noticed my productivity dropping as more projects and tasks seemed to pile up. I have tried multiple task and project management platforms but always found myself looking at an exhaustive list of tasks that left me anxious and without a good plan of attack for the work ahead. I sort of had an idea of how I would like my work to be organized but didn't find anything that could accommodate until...

Pros

Extremely flexible allowing you to create a system specifically designed to meet your own neurosis and OCD.

Cons

Sometimes there is a short lag when dragging and dropping items.

Our Bread and Butter for Staff Retention

Reviewed 2 years ago

Kanbanchi provided us with a simple platform to track staffing for a unit of 191 staff, team by team. We were able to track issues such as active or inactive statuses, Within those status groups, timelines in which they were scheduled to return to work, FML and COVID related leave outcomes as well as attrition and retention

Pros

The interface provides a quick and easily customizable platform for use in evaluating multiple metrics and processes at the click of a mouse!

Cons

Based on the past several updates, I would have to say they have both listened to and facilitated many of the changes we had recommended to their CS team .... (Easier movement of boards, attachment and photo uploads, time stamping to track when milestones or timelines have been met, etc.)

Great for Small or Medium Business Management

Reviewed a year ago

The project management for our company has been a backbone of how we do work. I would definitely recommend to a small or medium sized business dealing with multiple projects at once.

Pros

Kanban is very easy to understand and allows organization especially when dealing with multiple steps in a process. I like that projects can be moved around, commented on, prioritized, and checklists can be made. It has definitely helped the company to stay organized with countless projects to manage.

Cons

The one feature I wish Kanban would include is the ability to get notified when cards are moved to and from specific columns. Since some people in organizations are in charge of specific areas of project management, this would be incredibly helpful.

Review of Kanbacnhi

Reviewed 9 months ago

good.

Pros

Ease of use. Gantt chart view is so convenient and saves so much time.

Cons

1. When selecting subcards - can there be an option to select choose multiple subcards because atm you have to add each subcard 1 by one and is not the best experience. 2. Would love more examples of how to effectively use Kanbanchi reporting 3. Not really sure what a lot of the features mean - would be good to have an object dictionary with examples of how to use certain features.

Great customer support

Reviewed 3 years ago

The platform is still being developed, but the team are friendly, reply quickly, and have clear simple to follow instructions for non tech heads like me.

Pros

I am new to Kanbanch and had a number of questions before purchasing. The team answered my emails promptly, heard my requests and actioned developments in some of those areas that have already been released. I am really impressed with the team and their apparent commitment to continuing to develop the platform.

Cons

I'm looking forward to the release of the kanbanchi app, but can work around that by saving a link to my phone's home screen for now. The program is a little slow to open, only a couple of seconds, but longer than many others.

Frequent Kanban User

Overall I am happy to use kanban every day at work. I have to do a lot of organizing and planning deadlines so it helps me visualize it all

Pros

I like the ease of use, it is very easy to catch on. It really does have a ton of features in it. I feel like I'm finding a new useful tool every day. I like that you are able to make suggestions and that the customer support team actually responds.

Cons

Sometimes throughout the day my kanban wont update to show a cards new position until I physically click on the card. I do also wish you could subscribe to a column or list itself rather than just specific cards or all cards

Renewal process needs improvement

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

I like being able to check off tasks, color coding, creating columns, sharing boards.

Cons

The renewal process. When our subscription was up for renewal, no reminders were sent from Kanbanchi and our entire team immediately lost access to our boards. Even an automated reminder would have saved us the trouble of being without that access for several weeks (because our admin had to get approval to renew, re-verify our non-profit status as well). At the very LEAST you should let users view their boards once renewal is up, if not able to update / use its features.

The best Task Management and Project Management app

My professional experience with Kanbanchi is really professional because I always track the time that I spend on the tasks. So I can easily scale and analyze my team's productivity.

Kanbanchi is an innovative tool to create Kanban boards

Reviewed 4 years ago

team productivity and communication are optimised thanks to this tool. Project tracking and reporting is enhanced.

Pros

It is a very good tool that is integrated with Google Drive. You can create Kanban cards that are highly customisable with different colors, tags, and priorities. Start and due dates, estimated and actual time spent can also be set and recorded. Since it is fully integrated with Google, due dates may be added to Google calendar.

Cons

There is no app yet available for your smart phone. The software comes at a price. You would eventually need to pay for the software. It also only works in a google cloud environment which means that your team or organisation must be using google suite first.

Collaborate with Kanbanchi!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Kanbanchi is a good project management tool. Our company is more collaborative when we use it. Also, people have more accountability as other people can see what is happening.

Pros

Kanbanchi is the only project management tool integrated with G Suite. It allows you to collaborate with multiple members across your organization. By having a visual representation of your project and its stages, your company becomes more effective. I love how Kanbanchi is able to estimate time spent on a project. This is something that is currently lacking in other project management tools.

Cons

Last I know, Kanbanchi still does not have a mobile version. Given that I am mostly traveling for my work to various countries and company, this is essential. There are times when I am on the plane and would love to pull out my mobile phone to get some work done.

We use Kanbanchi as a tracker and monitoring tool for our team's workload. Very basic usage of it, I would daresay - but it's a very streamlined and EASY to use tool.

Simplicity and ease of usage.
