KanbanFlow vs. Stackby

We love using KanbanFlow as a facilitator, organizer and project manager. All IT is already accustomed and approves the methodology. I recommend for different scenarios where there are projects, activities, goals and need a control, issuing management reports for each employee. It is possible to measure productivity, performance, number of activities in progress and completed and other things. I am responsible for several projects and within these I can add tasks, goals, reminders and in the end I can generate various types of reports such as: by project, by daily tasks, date, group activities, and others. The reports are well detailed and exported as a pdf file. The software is great for monitoring as well and diagnosing problems in activities and reducing general problems.

Based on my experience, I can provide specific scenarios where Stackby is well suited and others where it may be less appropriate: Project Management: Stackby is an excellent choice for project management scenarios. Its ability to create custom databases, track tasks, assign responsibilities, and collaborate in real-time makes it highly effective for managing and monitoring project progress. CRM and Sales: Stackby is well suited for managing customer relationships and sales processes. Its customizable database structure allows for organizing customer information, tracking leads, managing deals, and generating reports. The ability to integrate with other tools further enhances its usefulness in CRM and sales workflows. Content Planning: Stackby is a great fit for content planning scenarios. Users can create databases to manage editorial calendars, track content ideas, assign tasks to team members, and monitor content performance. Collaboration features facilitate seamless content collaboration and ensure timely publishing.

• Manage workflow
• Tag/categorize different areas of workflow
• Collaborate with others
• Track progress, visually
• Automate/integrate with other applications using Zapier
• The free version is fully functional and usable

Incentivized

• Ability to collaborate with team members on the same spreadsheet
• Ability to integrate multiple tools for centralized utilization (i.e. Facebook, Google Analytics, project management, etc.)
• Ability to send SMS and messages using integration with Twillio and Whatsapp
• All spreadsheets/databases securely saved in the cloud instead of on local hard drive(s)

• [I feel] the UI for creating new tasks is pretty clunky and unintuitive
• Drag and drop features don't work as smoothly as you would expect [in my experience]

Incentivized

• Implement the same views available on desktop into the mobile app
• Internal automations (like Airtable)
• Ability to implement and display info as a dashboard (like Airtable)
• Polish up the formatting of formulas, inputting them causes user frustration due to the formula input cursor jumping around
• Better intelligence and ease of inputting data in bulk i.e have the fields automatically identify what data is being input and format appropriately (like Airtable does)

Stackby is overall pretty easy to use, especially if you're used to something like Airtable or SmartSuite. Some of the pages seem like near exact clones (though they put their own creative spin on things). I'd prefer a slighty fresher interface (like SmartSuite), but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the better price and great customer service.

Extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly support (unlike many other SAAS teams out there).

The obvious competitor to KanbanFlow is Jira. They are such different pieces of software. Jira is bloated, integrated with everything and optimized for a sprint-based working methodology. KanbanFlow is lean, rough around the edges, and really only works if you are using Kanban to manage your projects. I don't think that it's a matter of choosing between these two pieces of software, it's a matter of picking how you are going to work and then choosing the software that makes the most sense for that approach.

I have also tried Ora.Pm. Infinity has better graphical interface, but nowhere near as many features and the UI isn't as effective (i.e, moving around with keys). Grist has a much more technical interface and it comes from being more of a database/interactive spreadsheet vs Stackby. Grist has much more functionality in terms of formulas, but is much harder to learn to use and less other functionalities. Ora.PM is more of a test at a task management app, and doesn't compare - Stackby is much better.

• Although we've only been using it for a few months I can already see the difference that it makes for our leadership team. We are more productive in every meeting. no spreadsheets or anything like that.
• because we have all of these important aspects of our quarter in one place, we aren't using multiple software or methodologies for storing the information that we have review all over the place

• By its customisation, I have seen business intelligence that was not evident or available by using other software
• Has helped to organise all my data (work and personal) into interesting relationships that help with better decision making
• Has created extra curiosity in its flexibility and customisation to have all my datasets used and manipulated into meaningful ways
