About Kanban Tool
Kanban Tool is an online collaboration platform based on the Kanban method. By visualizing your process as tasks in columns representing the completion stage, e.g., To do - Doing - Done, you can minimize chaos, improve your productivity and find process bottlenecks before they impede the entire flow.
Aside from features innate to Kanban, such as WIP limits or swimlanes, a range of general project management tools is available: recurring and postponed tasks, an interactive calendar, process automation, time tracking and reporting, task dependencies, and more.
With over 12 years on the market, Kanban Tool is a highly reliable and robust product appreciated worldwide. For companies refraining from the use of cloud-based services, a self-hosted version is available.
Kanban Tool boards' success results from their ease of use and high level of customizability – clients can choose from over additional 30 Power-Ups, and a robust API/SDK is available for custom integrations.

"Easy start, grow while using" Posted 2023-09-06
Pros: The most useful feature which I didn't find anywhere else so far: you can show the ToDo-List of every card in the Board from the Beginning (always on). You don't need to expand it every time you want to look whats to do.
Cons: Not really a con, but if I would change something: Dependencies between Cards/Tasks could be better visualized.
Overall: You can start really easy and grow while using. The Setup is made very fast and the Powerups helps to not overload your Board. There are a lot of other Features, check the Powerups in Settings. I'm using Kanban-Tool also for personal Plannings (f.e. Holidays etc.). Function Requests are also gladly received and processed by the support and development team.

"An intuitive looking with a very complete feature set." Edited 2022-11-02
Pros: I've been using Kanban Tool for some months and it has become an essential piece of daily work. The main interface and primary setup options might seem basic, but once you get used to it, you discover its full potential. Integration with third-party tools and fine-tuning code improvements expand its functionality by providing visual feedback that can be used to control tasks accurately, diagnose problems, identify bottlenecks, and see how changes impact the project as a whole.
Cons: No super fancy UI's, just a very functional option on desktop (web) version. The android app should be improved as it lacks visual arrangement and functionality.
Overall: I've been using it for more than a la half year now... and I'm really satisfied with the first impressions. I discovered Kanban Tool at the precise moment of a business project launch and I've been using daily so far. An essential tool for me now. No problems detected to contact Customer Service so far.

Pros: I like that the tool is easy to use. It has a use-friendly interface. You basically start using it and know exactly how to do that, which is great.

"Looks deceptively basic, but does more than we need it to" Posted 2021-09-28
Pros: Tens of optional hidden features like automation rules, repeating tasks and ready-made checklists. They are what turned our very simple KanBan board to a comprehensive machine for the whole department's project management system. Love that!
Cons: I'd like for the mobile apps to have 100% of the web app capabilities. But then again, we only use task updates on our smartphones, so not sure how important this really is. Maybe they were right all along.
Overall: Simple but fabulously effective. And, I still cannot believe kanbantool.com does not charge for extra unlimited boards nor for enabling any of the, I think, 30 power-up add-ons. A steal!

Cons: One minor complaint would be that the mobile apps don't have all of the features from the web application. not a showstopper though, by any means.
