Great Visual Tool

What do you like best? You can quickly see what phase a project is in when glancing at the board. I also like the ability to take meeting notes right on the card, during the meeting.

There are some minor formatting things that can't be done Recommendations to others considering the product: Be creative when setting it up. We started with a base template and then changed it around to ...

What do you like best? Ability to create back-log of items. Ease of moving cards through the different phases as the task progresses. What do you dislike? When there are multiple members in the team, the dashboard looks like a clutter. I wish there was an easy way to filter or show customized view appropriate to me. Integration with current issue (ticket) management system is lacking. Recommendations to others considering the product: Take some time to understand it fully ...

Great for the eyes, Great for the work flow

What do you like best? Having an attractive online kaban-style board. By far replaces the paper one with an easy to access, easy to look at, and easy to design. Great customizability and extra features, can easily be tuned to your work flow. What do you dislike? Some of the backend API is unintuitive (although it is already in migration). Some of the UI is crowded and awkward when trying to utilize fully - works best as a kaban board. What problems are you solving with the ...

The product is better than some of the competitor products. It helps us for our daily kanban.

What do you like best? Easy to view and customize the board and find the necessary cards in their swimlanes. I like the quick card feature where I can quickly add a car. What do you dislike? The search feature is not well designed. If I search for a card and find it, when I click the card to try to open it from the search results, it does not bring up the card. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? staying organized with the ...

Great for the price

What do you like best? I like the drag and drop functionality of the cards. I like how tagging users works. What do you dislike? I hate that you can't attach a document in the description when creating a card. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
