Managing Partner Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unparalled functionality out of the box " July 4, 2023 5.0 Pros There isn't any business process, workflow or procedure that can not be replicated within Kanbanize. I've changed my approach in business transformations to get the clients up and on the tool as quickly as possible. The design construct of Kanbanize provides just the right amount of 'guidance' for the users, and allows me the opportunity to engage on an as required basis when clients stray away from basic kanban principles. Cons There's very little I don't like about Kanbanize. Continuing to extend the recent deployment of OKRs to allow connection between strategy and execution into the dashboard space looks to be quite exciting. Review Source PL Philip L. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Everything You Need a Kanban Board to Do" June 8, 2020 5.0 We use Kanban for everything we do as a company, and we also try to get our clients to use it as we work with them. We try to use physical boards when we can, but as time has gone on, this has become less and less viable. Even colocated teams have started to prefer electronic tools and putting them up on monitors in common areas instead of physical boards. Because we use kanban so heavily and rely on metrics for so much, we had a hard time finding online solutions that did everything we needed to do. Kanbanize is one of the few that let us configure the value stream on the board the way we needed to, and when you combine it with the suite of metrics it offers (which are metrics we always used to keep in Excel), it's really one of a kind. If you use kanban heavily and you really use everything about it, Kanbanize is a perfect product well worth the price. Pros I primarily liked that the board does everything you need for a variety of situations. Many online kanban boards have some kind of limitation that makes them less than ideal, like no swim lanes or no ability to have subcolumns with a common WIP limit. Kanbanize is flexible enough to cover every situation. The "initiatives" layer of the board was not something we were looking for originally but came to appreciate. Usually, setting something like that up requires some careful board nesting and coordination, but Kanbanize does it automatically. If you want more granularity, the built-in initiatives feature may not be enough, but it's good enough to cover most usage scenarios. The metrics are the same as the ones we keep, manually, so being able to automatically generate those is great. Cons The flexibility does take a little time to get used to because so much is offered, but there is an extensive knowledge base. There is also only a limited ability to change a card's historical data, like time spent in various columns, but a lot of online kanban software is like that as well. Also, you get what you pay for, and although I think Kanbanize is the best product out there, it's also one of the more expensive options. Not as expensive as some, but still near the top.

Some of them wouldn't let you do subcolumns. Some would, but they couldn't share a WIP limit. Some wouldn't let you do swim lanes. Etc. Review Source AH Andrea H. Co-Founder and CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Kanban-Tool on the Market" June 9, 2020 5.0 We have supported a large organisation (market leader in aviation) transferring over 5k Users and several hundred boards from another kanban-tool provider (one which is amongst the market leaders) to Kanbanize. The impact and outcome was significant. Kanbanize offers a customer service that we haven't experienced anywhere else, they exceeded our naturally high expectations by far. We could also see that the engagement of the user-community increased drastically with the new tool; the reporting is integrated and takes a lot less effort than before, in combination with the additional options to customize (e. g. custom fields) it has been a real win for everyone, Execs, Managers, Team-Members. The tool helps generating more benefits, and apart all the cost that can be saved for reporting and admin tasks, the tool itself comes for a price which is less than half of the former provider. Pros Kanbanize has amazing features. It's a very intuitive front end, it nicely visualizes complex projects and processes, is highly customizable, allows easy work-delegation across different hierarchies and teams, provides just the right amount of information needed to drive management focus and delivers meaningful, again highly customizable, data to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. We chose it because it serves every need a large organisation might have, from small agile teams, via complex process flows to NPI projects with hundreds of people involved. The best of all features are the business rules though; with that the admnistration burden which we experienced as the No 1 reason for resistance is reduced to a minimum and the automation also helps the standardization of how work is executed and accelerates the engagement of all involved parties. And the best quality is the Kanbanize team itself, they are not only highly customer-oriented, but they realease new features on a monthly basis and evolve much faster (and robust) than any competitor. Cons The only point I can come up with is that it would be nice if we could fully hide swim lanes that are currently not of interest, like it can be done in excel.

Customer experience (look and feel), features, integrations and security and Kanbanize scored the highest and were the personell fully supportive and transparent - the kind that one would liek to work with over many years. Review Source DP Daamon P. Agility Coach Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workflow management with data for improvement" February 2, 2022 5.0 Kanbanize is being used by teams for delivery work visualition, and also at higher coordination levels to support portfolio and strategic views. The move to Kanbanize, across all levels, is showing benefits realised from the ease of use, simplicity, and increased visualisation - allowing for more informed decisions to be made, and sooner. Pros Extremely visually informative and intuitive to understand what's displayed. With a little bit of practice, easy and intuitive to use. Extremely configurable, powerful but balanced with straightforward to do the configuration. Great metrics available - note, it's dependent on good data being present, it's not a magic tool! Great support, help, knowledge base and YouTube video channel. Cons No cons, per se - more a case of expectation setting. Because Kanbanize is powerful, it does need some behind the scenes set up and configuration - this isn't hard to do, once you know how, but it does take some time and effort to understand how to do it. The support team, knowledge base and YouTube channel really helps. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Azure DevOps](https://www.capterra.com/p/170547/VSTS-DevOps/) Kanbanize has been designed from the outset, from the ground up, to support The Kanban Methodology and is regularly updated to improve it rather than adding new features for the sake of it. It's a great fit for purpose. Review Source MC Mike C. Project Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Agile Engineering - Kanbanize can make it happen" January 31, 2022 5.0 The team, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], answered questions, shared advice and made the business side of things work. We are a university, no other company with a tool at this level of capability would help. Pros At the most basic level, Kanbanize organizes and manages the data. Benefits are realized in the first 10 minutes of use. After that, as needs grow, the capabilities are waiting for use. I can brief students on the process, and they are able to integrate their team. Most have never seen Kanban tools before. One of my project managers, who had not used the tool before, set up business rules and templates for a student simulation project with teams all over the world. Cons There are no negatives. The closest I can come is a UI element in one of the upgrades. I asked about it and it was changed several days later. Reason for choosing Businessmap The primary reason was functionality. The tool had to perform. And, it does. A close second is the quality of the training materials freely provided on the site. We had planned to use the training no matter the tool selected. When we looked deeper, they had the best tool as well. Review Source Sergi S. Analytics Business Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Digitalizing a heijunka panel" June 9, 2020 5.0 We designed an assistant from scratch to fully cover the planning process of a plant for the manufacturing of phytosanitary products; from the acquisition of ERP production data to the information required at the loading port, through the digitization of the Heijunka panel with Kanbanize. We described all produced products with all the tasks needed and we created templates for every one of them. Then, the assistant filled the kanbanize boards to give the workers in the factory the information needed to execute the assigned task, log time, notify when problems, etc. Kanbanize was the management interface for all the developed tasks at the factory, and help giving the management precious information to improve the manufacturing process: production time per product, cicle time, etc. Pros I think that the adaptability to create any imaginable workflow that can replicate a production process, with an impressive number of cards (~2000 a day) with all the data you need through the relations between other cards or with custom fields was my first "Uau". Then I had time to discover how can we manage some automation through the Policies, and when we need more, we had a very capable API to fill the gaps. Cons When we needed new functionality to visualize information, we asked for it, and in time it arrived in the next releases. We had some problems with the API that also were solved in subsequent releases. To say something to help decide others, I must say that the path to solving some situations has been hard, but it's the same when you learn to use a new product. Then, in that case, you have to contact the support team. Review Source IN Isabelle N. Operational Manager Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using Kanbanize As A Consultant Company from Brazil" February 1, 2022 5.0 Great software, using daily with minimal dificulites, great customer support too. Pros It's easy to use and set up, is easy to understand and really helps our automation. Cons Time trackig funcionalites is not easy, we need to log time card by card.

We are glad to use them for the visual management. Pros 1) Feature development is well thought out. Rather than adding to visual clutter, features are constantly refined to allow simple visual management. This is harder than it sounds and is not often achieved in agile software development. 2) Regular releases. Releases are on time and only 1 month away. 3) Great customer support. Real people answering your questions and looking at possible bugs. Replies are quick and direct. 4) Price is very reasonable. Cons 1) Break in subscription value. They just recently divided their subscribers into two tiers leaving original users that do not upgrade their subscription contract to only original features. This is a bad mistake and breaks the premise of SaaS. If a company needs additional revenue they should be raising the cost of the subscription for all in a seamless manner and not bifrucate their user base. 2) Metrics are well developed but it is not easy to get started. Additional thought needs to be given on how to get metrics in the hands of even basic users. Review Source Response from Businessmap December 10, 2018 Thank you for the feedback. We are trying to improve the product on a regular basis, so we can meet users expectation and needs. We are glad to hear that your are happy with our support, regular releases and features.

This is Agility!" January 28, 2022 5.0 I am one happy customer who is using Kanbanize daily for the past 6 years. My work' priorities will be lost without Kanbanize. Pros 1) Project Visualization - colors! 2) Task tracking 3) Card templates 4) Multiple workflows on a single board 5) Swimlanes for categorizing work in any workflow 6) Seamless collaboration across teams from multiple departments 7) Create your own workflow, depending on your organization's processes 8) The software complies with every aspect of the Kanban method 9) You can learn how to progress with Kanban thanks to the build-in tutorials within the product 10) Automation Cons The product's main drawback is that it is a complex Kanban software due to its many features, integrations, and functionalities. Thus, it takes some time to learn how to implement the product to its best within your day-to-day work. However, for everyone familiar with the Kanban method, using Kanbanize should be a straightforward process.

Very helpful support and detailed user guides and Cons In the beginning the journey can be scary and if you don't work with a tool at least on a weekly basis, it won't show you all the benefits it can offer Reason for choosing Businessmap Owing to the potential of automation and consumer-centric support.

Agile Coach Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool for managing teams and goals" June 16, 2023 5.0 Today, monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness indicators of teams is much easier due to the use of Kanbanize, in addition to the integration between teams, with other tools. For me it is the best workflow management tool we have on the market today. Pros The most impactful feature of Kanbanize for me is the ease of extracting efficiency metrics from teams and tracking OKRs, followed by the ease of integration with other tools. Cons The question of graphs of efficiency indicators and graphs made by advanced filters should allow more customizations (changing colors, using fields, etc.) Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Businessmap Price and easy of use Review Source Carlo G.

I think it could help many love this software as much as I do. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Kanbanize is lightweight, comprehensive and implements a Kanban board in a complete way. Without the need for compromise.

CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Only Kanban Software I Recommend" September 27, 2018 5.0 I like to describe Kanbanize as the Swiss Army Knife for IT leaders in mid-sized businesses. Since we at Xuviate started talking about it in our IT Leader Masterminds and 1-1 Coaching sessions so many individuals started playing with it and later adopted the software ... to the point where there is currently no other main-stream Kanban software that is regularly used by any of the IT leaders we interact with. This is both testament to the quality of the product as well as the ability of Kanbanize to stay ahead of what users need. Pros \- The software is extremely flexible and supports almost any use-case - It is super easy for people to get started (even if they have never used Kanban before or are not in IT) - It is not just another Kanban tool and right from the start it is clear how Kanbanize (the company) is trying to change the way we run our businesses (e.g. by supporting and evangelising Portfolio Kanban) - The reporting engine is top-notch and provides both overview and many drill-down opportunities Cons \- Individuals often are role players on multiple boards. Currently there is no easy way to show all tasks assigned to an individual and to properly prioritise daily workload. - No integration with their personal Kanban tool flow-e exists at the moment Review Source PK Piyush K.

Agile Coach and Trainer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best Kanban tool" September 9, 2021 4.0 I love the flexibility of designing the board and the way I can visualize the whole system in one board. Pros I really like the features provided by Kanbanize to fit the Kanban systems I designed. The application is simple and to the point. Cons The charts, the cards' usability, and the lack of shortcuts really make it hard to use the application. Also, there is no mobile application. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Jira is not as flexible as Kanbanize when it comes to board design. Review Source Brennen M. Partner Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Kanban Tool " September 28, 2018 5.0 The Kanbanize folks are so knowledgeable and so ready to help when ever we need it. We deal with many saas companies and Kanbanize are at the top of the field. They get how to nurture and support their users. They also roll out new functionality every month. The application just keeps getting better and better. Pros Kanbanize is a very flexible tool set that allows us to clearly map out specific workflows for our clients. Clients love it because they can see and update the status of all of their work within their specific workflow not a workflow imposed on them by a software package. We also like the flexibility of the cards made possible by custom fields, attachments, images and so on. Cons Kanbanize is very feature rich. When users initially get on the platform, they can suffer some intimidation. However, Kanbanize is so easy to use and so well thought out, it's amazing to watch people work with it for the first time. Within hours and even minutes in some cases, our clients are moving through the boards and managing their work, all while having lots of fun! Review Source ML Mathew L. Sw Development Engineer Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Massive improvements in project tracking and overview" March 22, 2022 5.0 Keeping track of multiple projects is a kids task with Kanbanize. Pros The huge benefit about Kanbanize is the hability of visualizing huge boards by collapsing and expanding key areas, no other software alows you to do it Cons As a license payer you do search from time to time alternatives due to high-ish price Review Source IG Ivaylo G.

I use Kanbanize to show clients how flow can be created, or how you can work towards an optimised process. Another part of my work is about business strategy consulting. Here Kanbanize is also awesome thanks to the possibility of relating boards and the portfolio lane. Kanbanize is always a great starting point for organisational change because it is accessible. Pros Although feature rich, Kanbanize is easy to start with. Simple templates, explainers and a knowledge base are there to guide you if you need it. I knew Kanban when I started with Kanbanize and it was a great experience to work with a true Kanban tool. It felt very familiar and with a great UI it quickly became my favorite tool. Cons Kanbanize offers rules for automation. This is really awesome. However, for me there are never enough rules, so I liked the limitation of rules the least.

You can quickly implement and benefit from the most useful features. The support, documentation and the training facilities are excellent. Virtually everything you might want to do to implement the complete Kanban method is at your fingertips. Pros I most like its ease of use; breadth of features; analytics; portfolio kanban; regular improvements; excellent support; integration capabilities Cons I have not found anything particularly unlikable Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Businessmap Kanbanize provides extensive features enabling you to truly analyze, manage and optimize the flow of work. This is the real reason for using the kanban method. Other tools completely lack the analytics and the portfolio capabilities that are built in to Kanbanize, or they require complicated integrations that you have to design and implement yourself to achieve similar goals.

Kanbanize solves all these problems and gives many additional features to improve the efficiency. Pros Great set of features. Full support for any Kanban scenario (both IT and non-IT). Very useful integration API (REST). The tool itself and integration API are very stable and bugless. There is very interesting mechanism for sharing information with 3-rd party stakeholders.

It basically works with to do/doing/done method, draggind the cards with all details. We can organize all ideas quickly before setting priorities. Cons Sometimes it's a little bit difficult to find an old card to review a project.

Very impressive! Pros Very intuitive to use (but beware, there is much more under the hood than meets the eye at first). A powerful business tool and awesomely responsive support team. Cons As with any software, there are areas where the functionality does not meet our needs, but the benefits far outweigh the negative areas. To name two limitations that come to mind: - The automation is very powerful, but there are not too many options and one cannot really start building advanced logic. - There also is no native link to external reporting tools, but there is a work-around to export an advanced query to Excel and then use that as source.
