Deltek Collaboration
Chose Deltek Collaboration
Before Deltek, we had just communicated around projects through Slack since it was free. It did work well for communication and you could share files, but it is not nearly as robust as Deltek Collaboration. It was not easy to look back and find necessary files, and the …

Chose Kanban Tool
More straight forward and easier to setup and use. Ideal for teams that need a quick and simple solution. More specialized features and customized options. more flexible and adaptable to various workflows.
Chose Kanban Tool
Probably my personal preference but I just didn't like Trello. I found Kanban Tool much more in line with what I wanted in a project management solution.
Chose Kanban Tool
Doesn't allow to easily customize swim lanes or add multiple boards to a single view. Other products were very expensive, even for small teams.
Chose Kanban Tool
It has a free option for 2 users and 2 boards. It is really easy to manage and to customize.
Chose Kanban Tool
Jira is more robust and more connected. Kanban Tool is a good basic tool to do basic tasks. At an enterprise level, Jira has more to offer a mixed discipline team that has hardware and software builds (model-based design). For small teams doing just software development in an …
Chose Kanban Tool
Kanban is superior to Scrum and AGILE because it can visually organize all your projects and data into one board. Kanban integrates with JIRA which digs deeper into the project data when it is needed. By integrating Kanban with JIRA, you don't need any other tool for project …
Chose Kanban Tool
It was much cheaper than competition but that's not the main reason. It is very easy to understand.
Chose Kanban Tool
We've only tried JIRA Agile and KanbanFlow before. Kanban Tool was the one that our team actually liked and enjoyed working with. Also - it's been much easier to get started with and to understand than some of the other two (JIRA in particular). Although JIRA has many more …

Deltek CollaborationKanban Tool
Likelihood to Recommend
Deltek Collaboration is best suited for companies and employees that are needing to work closely with other people. Working with agencies, for example, can take so much time waiting to hear back on the status of a project or getting files, so when you can have it all in one place it saves a lot of time and effort.

Most users looking at Kanban Tool will ultimately have a process that they work through. This is a great tool and very flexible for any business. Take your time to really review your process and the stages of the process. Kanban Tool will make it clear visually so you can see bottlenecks and areas to improve. I think this tool can be adapted to any company or process.

Cons
  • Pricing could be better as other options are free.
  • Improved interface.
Read full review
  • Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project.
  • Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features.
  • I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.

Before Deltek, we had just communicated around projects through Slack since it was free. It did work well for communication and you could share files, but it is not nearly as robust as Deltek Collaboration. It was not easy to look back and find necessary files, and the collaboration didn't work nearly as well.

Kanban is superior to Scrum and AGILE because it can visually organize all your projects and data into one board. Kanban integrates with JIRA which digs deeper into the project data when it is needed. By integrating Kanban with JIRA, you don't need any other tool for project management that is effective for both the business and the development teams. Kanban is recommended for any user groups who wish to increase their efficiency to deliver products, transparency for all users and on-time productivity.
