Pros
Installation of this application is extremely easy. I can create and manage cards across different lanes, also properly tag and assign cards to users. It offers great flexibility in planning releases and deployment.

Has Potential
Has Potential
Pros
Each card represents a project and you can visually see the status and details associated with it. It is like having post-it notes on a board. You get an overview at a glance and can see who is assigned to each task. Immediate notifications are sent if someone makes changes to your project. However keeping up with a lot of changes can be a bit hard at times.
Cons
When diving into each project, there is a wealth of information you must know about which can be both beneficial and overwhelming at the same time. However, if there was any change you can get confuse. Although I'm not a regular user I do keep up with the listed projects. The search function is decent but I would prefer to see the results in a better view.

Pros
I really like the way Leankit visualizes tasks as "cards" so you can easily see what you and your co-workers are working on. It may seem visually overwhelming at first but there are filtering options to show only the cards you are attached to or make others cards transparent for a quick view of your tasks.
Cons
It is quite basic in terms of functionality. Additionally, if you have only one lane for projects being worked on and it becomes overcrowded with cards, a notification pops up asking for a reason of why you exceeded the time limit. However, you can enter anything you want in the dialog box, making it completely unnecessary. I wouldn't mind this as much if the lane indicated that it had exceeded the time limit without the annoying popup.

Cons
I can't think of any specific issues, except for the difficulty of deleting cards that you accidentally create. You need an admin to remove them. Just use the application and get used to not having the option to delete cards for corrections.

Better than Asana
Better than Asana
Pros
The swim lanes are customizable and you can color code the tickets based on their category (stories, epics, etc.). It is easy to customize the behavior and the cards are displayed like a proper kanban board rather than a list. However it lacks workflows like Jira.
Cons
There is a slight lag. Sometimes, you ends up customizing a lot that leads to a slightly awkward experience.

Great introduction into Kanban and Lean project management
Great introduction into Kanban and Lean project management
Pros
The interface is clean and easy to use. You can configure boards with the necessary lanes and sublanes. Boards can easily link to each other, allowing project managers to monitor progress on sub boards. The ability to choose colors and card types for indicating the current status within a lane has greatly improved project visibility.
Cons
I do believe their pricing model is somewhat high compared to other available options. It would be great to have a version specifically designed for small teams with the necessary features.

Leankit: CSR made easy
Leankit: CSR made easy
Pros
This program does an excellent job of showing where our team stands with a project. There are multiple ways to communicate and track progress such as leaving comments, moving cards between lanes and applying tags. It provides a comprehensive birds-eye view of our teams progress. Parent cards and child cards are helpful for tracking projects across different boards. It is incredibly useful and user friendly.
Cons
The limitations with lanes and the lack of a sleek design can make it visually challenging and overwhelming, particularly when there are numerous cards in a lane.

Pros
I am a big fan of the Kanban board functions and the visibility it provides to our folders. It allows us to move our projects to the completed stage once we have had all the necessary meetings with the business, which greatly contributes to our teams organization. The Kanban board is a user friendly and well organized tool that keeps our communication on track. Another aspect I love is the ability to personalize profiles with pictures.
Cons
I have been using this board/software for approximately three months, and so far I haven't come across anything that I dislike.

Really good project management platform
Really good project management platform
Pros
Instead of the typical list format found in other project management tools, LeanKit offers visual cards or 'projects' that can be easily moved into different lanes, assigned and more. Its ease of use is fantastic and it has an aesthetically pleasing interface.
Cons
They consistently update the appearance and introduce new features, which is fantastic. However, sometimes it leads to issues. Although this doesn't happen frequently but it can be frustrating when it does occur. Additionally, the reporting could be improved to provide better insights.

Great Kanban with flexibility and simplicity
Pros
The customization options are excellent. Boards can be tailored precisely to our needs. Overall, it is a simple system for users to learn. And If you talk about the flexibility offer by this software so yes it offers a lot.
Cons
Certain options that should be basic are only available in the highest paid tier. The pricing jump seems unnecessary compared to the benefits offered at those higher tiers. I would appreciate some changes in how cards are set up and displayed. It would also be beneficial to have easier integration with external apps for enhanced functionality.

Overall very intuitive.
Pros
I find the Kanban style of listing tasks on my plate to be very helpful. It enables me to plan ahead and prevents me from wasting time wondering what I should do next.
Cons
While it works well for large scale projects, I wish there was an easier way to create cards for small projects. Sometimes I receive small tasks and unless I address them immediately, I often forget about them. Is there a way to create a shortcut for quick card creation?

Pros
Leankit serves as a decent collaboration suite that proves helpful in tracking details related to project management. However considering there are free or mostly free alternatives like Trello available, I am not entirely convinced why this software is worth the investment.

Flexible lean project management tool
Pros
Leankit was fast, flexible and allowed our team to work independently. Although our company eventually transitioned to a more feature rich tool that better suited our needs, I would still consider Leankit a great solution that deserves a spot on your shortlist.
Cons
During my usage, it wasn't easy to share work across multiple boards. The only option at the time was to create a master board and establish dependencies from there. This approach only worked if you planned it from the beginning. However, if you decided later on that you wanted to do this, it became much more difficult to retroactively build that hierarchy. Additionally, it would strip new lines from descriptions, and while there were workarounds with tags, it was frustrating not to have automatic wrapping.

LeanKit makes my first intro to kanban
Pros
The amount of learning content available is truly incredible. The standard subscription is complete and reasonably priced. The easy to use RSS/calendar feeds make integration with my calendar a seamless experience. Additionally, the wide variety of templates greatly assists beginners like me in quickly getting started. The implementation of responsive design across the desktop and iOS app is well-executed.
Cons
The UI is functional and straightforward but it feels a bit basic. Applications that you use throughout the day should evoke feelings of love and warmth (similar to Slack). As someone completely new to lean and kanban and with my tendency to jump in without reading documentation, I would prefer having a search field in the in-app help instead of links to tutorials and knowledge base. I want to be able to open the help window, type "how do I X the Y?" and instantly see the results. Interestingly, clicking the (?) icon in the toolbar opens the Privacy Policy.

Better than Asana
Better than Asana
Pros
The swim lanes are customizable and you can color code the tickets based on their category (stories, epics, etc.). It is easy to customize the behavior and the cards are displayed like a proper kanban board rather than a list. However it lacks workflows like Jira.
Cons
There is a slight lag. Sometimes, you ends up customizing a lot that leads to a slightly awkward experience.

Great introduction into Kanban and Lean project management
Great introduction into Kanban and Lean project management
Pros
The interface is clean and easy to use. You can configure boards with the necessary lanes and sublanes. Boards can easily link to each other, allowing project managers to monitor progress on sub boards. The ability to choose colors and card types for indicating the current status within a lane has greatly improved project visibility.
Cons
I do believe their pricing model is somewhat high compared to other available options. It would be great to have a version specifically designed for small teams with the necessary features.

Leankit: CSR made easy
Leankit: CSR made easy
Pros
This program does an excellent job of showing where our team stands with a project. There are multiple ways to communicate and track progress such as leaving comments, moving cards between lanes and applying tags. It provides a comprehensive birds-eye view of our teams progress. Parent cards and child cards are helpful for tracking projects across different boards. It is incredibly useful and user friendly.
Cons
The limitations with lanes and the lack of a sleek design can make it visually challenging and overwhelming, particularly when there are numerous cards in a lane.

Pros
I am a big fan of the Kanban board functions and the visibility it provides to our folders. It allows us to move our projects to the completed stage once we have had all the necessary meetings with the business, which greatly contributes to our teams organization. The Kanban board is a user friendly and well organized tool that keeps our communication on track. Another aspect I love is the ability to personalize profiles with pictures.
Cons
I have been using this board/software for approximately three months, and so far I haven't come across anything that I dislike.

Really good project management platform
Really good project management platform
Pros
Instead of the typical list format found in other project management tools, LeanKit offers visual cards or 'projects' that can be easily moved into different lanes, assigned and more. Its ease of use is fantastic and it has an aesthetically pleasing interface.
Cons
They consistently update the appearance and introduce new features, which is fantastic. However, sometimes it leads to issues. Although this doesn't happen frequently but it can be frustrating when it does occur. Additionally, the reporting could be improved to provide better insights.

Great Kanban with flexibility and simplicity
Great Kanban with flexibility and simplicity
Pros
The customization options are excellent. Boards can be tailored precisely to our needs. Overall, it is a simple system for users to learn. And If you talk about the flexibility offer by this software so yes it offers a lot.
Cons
Certain options that should be basic are only available in the highest paid tier. The pricing jump seems unnecessary compared to the benefits offered at those higher tiers. I would appreciate some changes in how cards are set up and displayed. It would also be beneficial to have easier integration with external apps for enhanced functionality.

Overall very intuitive.
Pros
I find the Kanban style of listing tasks on my plate to be very helpful. It enables me to plan ahead and prevents me from wasting time wondering what I should do next.
Cons
While it works well for large scale projects, I wish there was an easier way to create cards for small projects. Sometimes I receive small tasks and unless I address them immediately, I often forget about them. Is there a way to create a shortcut for quick card creation?

I really the full customization capability of the board to suit the requirements of our team. There is a wide range of functionality available for editing cards, breaking down tasks and more.
Cons
The UI feels a bit dull unless you have a color system in place to differentiate different types of tasks. Overall the system also feels a bit cumbersome when it comes to editing cards.

Pros
Leankit serves as a decent collaboration suite that proves helpful in tracking details related to project management. However considering there are free or mostly free alternatives like Trello available, I am not entirely convinced why this software is worth the investment.
Cons
Firstly, the Trello interface is cleaner and more intuitive. Secondly the basic version of Trello, which is sufficient for 90% of users is free.

Flexible lean project management tool
Flexible lean project management tool
Pros
Leankit was fast, flexible and allowed our team to work independently. Although our company eventually transitioned to a more feature rich tool that better suited our needs, I would still consider Leankit a great solution that deserves a spot on your shortlist.
Cons
During my usage, it wasn't easy to share work across multiple boards. The only option at the time was to create a master board and establish dependencies from there. This approach only worked if you planned it from the beginning. However, if you decided later on that you wanted to do this, it became much more difficult to retroactively build that hierarchy. Additionally, it would strip new lines from descriptions, and while there were workarounds with tags, it was frustrating not to have automatic wrapping.

Pros
Task creation is not a hassle anymore with this software. It can be as simple or as complex as you want, ranging from a basic task name to including start/end dates, resource assignments, categorization and more.
Cons
It is challenging to have subcategories as everything is organized in columns. It would be great to have a Windows like organizational structure.

LeanKit makes my first intro to kanban
LeanKit makes my first intro to kanban
Pros
The amount of learning content available is truly incredible. The standard subscription is complete and reasonably priced. The easy to use RSS/calendar feeds make integration with my calendar a seamless experience. Additionally, the wide variety of templates greatly assists beginners like me in quickly getting started. The implementation of responsive design across the desktop and iOS app is well-executed.
Cons
The UI is functional and straightforward but it feels a bit basic. Applications that you use throughout the day should evoke feelings of love and warmth (similar to Slack). As someone completely new to lean and kanban and with my tendency to jump in without reading documentation, I would prefer having a search field in the in-app help instead of links to tutorials and knowledge base. I want to be able to open the help window, type "how do I X the Y?" and instantly see the results. Interestingly, clicking the (?) icon in the toolbar opens the Privacy Policy.

Pros
Leankit allows you to create a completely customized board while staying true to the essence of Kanban. It provides an easy way to see who is working on what and when a task has been assigned to you.
Cons
It sends an excessive number of emails. Every little change made to a task or board is emailed to you, even if you were the one who made the change. While I understand that some email notifications may be necessary, there should be an option to subscribe to only specific types of notifications.
