Considered Both Products
Kanban Tool
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.

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
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 …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Since I work from home, Larksuite is quite helpful to me because we need a way to communicate even when we are working from home. I'm glad that Larksuite is available to us because we constantly need assistance from our supervisor and quality assurance staff. You can also let others know you won't be available at that time by using interface like "Do not disturb," "In Meeting," or "Taking a Break" in Larksuite. Larksuite's ability to let us attach crucial files, pin crucial communications, and build calendars for scheduled meetings and events is by far its most interesting feature. Larksuite can be used in meetings. I remember when we first started using Larksuite Video Meetings for our discussions, I was astounded to see an interface that allowed you to view on your own the file the speaker had provided. I believe that using Larksuite for our video conference makes things more simpler because everything you need is already there.

Cons
  • 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.

I rate this perfect simply because we use this everyday and this is very helpful. Without this tool I can't imagine how we can communicate to each other and how we can resolve every concern/issue that we cater everyday on our job. This is the tool we use to communicate and endorse specific concern.

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.
