I love how Zenkit offers me an all-in-one package with seamless transition between all available modes. I can just jump between modes to add the information where it is clear and visible the most.

THIS is outstanding at task & project management. It is super customizable and easy to use. Our business can not live without it!
Cons
The only downside to using Zenkit is that it's not free. However, in life, there is no such thing as a "free lunch" or free-anything that's of value.

Perfect for research project management
Perfect for research project management
Pros
Zenkit has an incredibly flexible interface that makes it the perfect tool for working with team members with various technical backgrounds. What I like the most is that any data can be structured the way I like, and all the information is then arranged just as I want it to be. It feels natural to use Zenkit for my projects.
Cons
The mind map representation differs slightly from that found in mind mapping software; however, this difference appears to be primarily the result of web-based limitations.

Good tracking software with a simple UI.
Good tracking software with a simple UI.
Pros
I love using it to track client projects and my business expenses. I save receipts and other documents and control my work calendar. All the data is safely available on both my desktop and phone. Zenkit is quite reasonably priced and modern. New users will find blogs and video tutorials to be especially helpful.
Cons
I am paying for the “Plus” plan which only gets me 6GB of storage while when I used the free trial, I had 1GB. The storage size jump is not as much as it should’ve been. Even Google provides more storage than this for free.

Using Zenkit for Research Projects
Using Zenkit for Research Projects
Pros
Zenkit's interface is highly configurable, making it ideal to collaborate with team members with different technical backgrounds. One of the most amazing characteristics, though, is that any data can be relational - pretty much like in a RDB - and I can create my own data structures to organize myself as I prefer.
Cons
The mindmap representation is a bit different from what I am used to in mind-mapping related software, but this seems to be mostly due to web components limitations.

Pros
I was very happy when Wunderlist went invisible, that I was able to import all my files, lists, schedules, and archives into Zenkit. I expected to make few adjustments and carry on with my routines as they had been.
Cons
I like to use repeat functions on lists, so that daily / weekly / monthly tasks can be entered, set up, and forgotten. I have been unable to do this with ease in Zenkit.

Our GQueues, Wunderlist & Trello Replacement.
Our GQueues, Wunderlist & Trello Replacement.
Pros
One of the best things is that both Windows/Desktop and Android are very close for UI. I also like that the same data can be looked at as a List, Kanban Card (which is how we use it most) to making mindmaps, Calendar, and Table. That helps for planning as well as looking at history. The 2-way Google calendar sync works well, both easy to set up and how events in Calendar show up in Zenkit. The biggest thing I like is the checklist inside a Kanban Card and the "Done" that has both a check dot and also a checkmark. That allows for see a two-level completion process.
Cons
It is a little quirky, and setting time, for example, requires some getting used to. If the end date gets before the start as you modify it, it will not save even if corrected until you clear the end date and start over. After a while, I got into the habit of clearing the end date. I do miss from Trello how a checklist item can be made into a Kanban Card by a click. Had a few instances where syncing seems to lag. This is most noticeable when you are using the desktop app in Windows and have it opened in a browser like Chrome. Desktop does not appear to always update on its own.

Powerful and on the rise
Powerful and on the rise
Pros
As a PhD Candidate, I have to manage different projects, students, presentations, etc., each with different time horizons and most on my own. I really like the kanban and hierarchy mode to structure my overall projects (collection) and its different smaller tasks within. Also, I keep track of �one-liners� (simple, one-step tasks with low priority but rising urgency). Zenkit allows me to keep an overview of what I have to do and done already for each project. I recommend the to-do add-in and each task should have a due date.
Cons
With the new Zenkit to-do software, it should be easier to track daily and weekly tasks for each project by integrating the collections into the to-do software. Yet this feature does not work properly. Nevertheless, the support is very good and helpful.

I like that our team can see our plans and data in a variety of different formats, as each person has a different work style - some prefer tables, some Kanban, some Gantt. Everyone can get what they want and need.
Cons
Overall, the biggest challenge is not the software itself but getting our team to use it effectively and wholly. But that's an issue with every software implementation.

Zenkit combines where other software needs to be linked. It is not only an organizational tool and group task planner but can also handle parts of a can and inventory. Being very customizable with lots of features it has its pitfalls, and you get fast to its limitations when you want to use it outside its core.

I like the visual capabilities
Pros
I converted from Trello because of the views. However, Trello is better when showing images. With Trello, the image displays nicely in the cards, but with Zenkit, you have to click on the card to see the full image. I like the fields options, especially the reference fields. I am also converting some Evernote projects because I like the visual representation with Zenkit.
Cons
After using Zenkit for an hour or so, my computer (MacBook Air) gets bogged down. I have to restart the computer. When I use the program on my iPad, I don't have the memory problem.

Zenkit's different views on my tasks help me get stuff done
Zenkit's different views on my tasks help me get stuff done
Pros
Very flexible. The different views over the same data really sold it for me. I can brainstorm with a mind map, work on individual tasks on a Kanban board, use a grid for mass maintenance, all over the same data with much less setup overhead than something like Notion. I even use it to plan my holidays.
Cons
Most of my initial frustrations have been addressed. I was frustrated initially with the lack of an API, but they were just prioritizing development, and this is now released. The mind-mapping took a bit of getting used to compared to, say, FreeMind, but not having to re-key anything going from Brainstorm to Kanban made it worthwhile.

Nothing's perfect but for what I need Zenkit comes close
Pros
I like that Zenkit treats my list of issues as a database and provides me many ways to look at it and manipulate it. This was the initial hook for me and it's kept me hooked. I can view my issues as a list, a kanban board, a table, a hierarchy, and a mind map. These are just the views I use.
Cons
The user interface took a bit of getting used to. My issues can become cluttered as I add more custom fields. I am still getting used to how the filters work as well.

Pros
Zenkit has an incredibly flexible interface that makes it the perfect tool for working with team members with various technical backgrounds. What I like the most is that any data can be structured the way I like, and all the information is then arranged just as I want it to be. It feels natural to use Zenkit for my projects.
Cons
The mind map representation differs slightly from that found in mind mapping software; however, this difference appears to be primarily the result of web-based limitations.

I love using it to track client projects and my business expenses. I save receipts and other documents and control my work calendar. All the data is safely available on both my desktop and phone. Zenkit is quite reasonably priced and modern. New users will find blogs and video tutorials to be especially helpful.
Cons
I am paying for the “Plus” plan which only gets me 6GB of storage while when I used the free trial, I had 1GB. The storage size jump is not as much as it should’ve been. Even Google provides more storage than this for free.

Pros
Zenkit's interface is highly configurable, making it ideal to collaborate with team members with different technical backgrounds. One of the most amazing characteristics, though, is that any data can be relational - pretty much like in a RDB - and I can create my own data structures to organize myself as I prefer.
Cons
The mindmap representation is a bit different from what I am used to in mind-mapping related software, but this seems to be mostly due to web components limitations.

Our GQueues, Wunderlist & Trello Replacement.
Our GQueues, Wunderlist & Trello Replacement.
Pros
One of the best things is that both Windows/Desktop and Android are very close for UI. I also like that the same data can be looked at as a List, Kanban Card (which is how we use it most) to making mindmaps, Calendar, and Table. That helps for planning as well as looking at history. The 2-way Google calendar sync works well, both easy to set up and how events in Calendar show up in Zenkit. The biggest thing I like is the checklist inside a Kanban Card and the "Done" that has both a check dot and also a checkmark. That allows for see a two-level completion process.
Cons
It is a little quirky, and setting time, for example, requires some getting used to. If the end date gets before the start as you modify it, it will not save even if corrected until you clear the end date and start over. After a while, I got into the habit of clearing the end date. I do miss from Trello how a checklist item can be made into a Kanban Card by a click. Had a few instances where syncing seems to lag. This is most noticeable when you are using the desktop app in Windows and have it opened in a browser like Chrome. Desktop does not appear to always update on its own.

Powerful and on the rise
Powerful and on the rise
Pros
As a PhD Candidate, I have to manage different projects, students, presentations, etc., each with different time horizons and most on my own. I really like the kanban and hierarchy mode to structure my overall projects (collection) and its different smaller tasks within. Also, I keep track of �one-liners� (simple, one-step tasks with low priority but rising urgency). Zenkit allows me to keep an overview of what I have to do and done already for each project. I recommend the to-do add-in and each task should have a due date.
Cons
With the new Zenkit to-do software, it should be easier to track daily and weekly tasks for each project by integrating the collections into the to-do software. Yet this feature does not work properly. Nevertheless, the support is very good and helpful.

Pros
I converted from Trello because of the views. However, Trello is better when showing images. With Trello, the image displays nicely in the cards, but with Zenkit, you have to click on the card to see the full image. I like the fields options, especially the reference fields. I am also converting some Evernote projects because I like the visual representation with Zenkit.

Zenkit's different views on my tasks help me get stuff done
Zenkit's different views on my tasks help me get stuff done
Pros
Very flexible. The different views over the same data really sold it for me. I can brainstorm with a mind map, work on individual tasks on a Kanban board, use a grid for mass maintenance, all over the same data with much less setup overhead than something like Notion. I even use it to plan my holidays.
Cons
Most of my initial frustrations have been addressed. I was frustrated initially with the lack of an API, but they were just prioritizing development, and this is now released. The mind-mapping took a bit of getting used to compared to, say, FreeMind, but not having to re-key anything going from Brainstorm to Kanban made it worthwhile.
