Kanbanize vs Forecast

"Flexible and Powerful Product, Great User Experience, Excellent Support" What do you like best about Kanbanize? The product is very flexible, allowing you to configure cards, columns, swimlanes, and boards in whatever configuration your team needs. It also has a very rich set of APIs so that you can integrate it with any other tools your team uses. The support team is outstanding, quick to answer questions and provide examples. The support knowledge base has great answers and is very good at matching your questions to correct answers. The development team delivers new functionality every month, and there's always something in there that makes me glad to use the new release. An excellent product in every sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kanbanize? The rich and complex functionality is a big pill to swallow if you're at KMM level 0 or 1. However, if you keep it simple and do the absolute minimum that you need to do to start using it, you can overcome that daunting mountain of functionality. Kanbanize provides a series of nice intro videos to help you do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smooth and easy, exceptional support Pros Linking various boards together and updating status across different boards Cons having multiple boards with cards linked accross all boards is at the beginning a bit overwhelming... but you get used to it in very fast time... (and internal guidelines help a lot)

"Simple and helpful" Overall: Kanbanize made a better organization possible to fulfill my tasks, especially for development projects. I became a more productive employee. Pros: It is very easy to deal with this app. Kanbanize allows in a very practical way to work with agile methods for project development/implementation. It basically works with to do/doing/done method, draggind the cards with all details. We can organize all ideas quickly before setting priorities. Cons: Sometimes it's a little bit difficult to find an old card to review a project. As I work in an environment with more than 50 Kanbanize users, and we create separated pages by department, I sometimes waste a little time (5 to 10 minutes) to find the card.

That I can easily draft a project plan and get the rough timelines, cost, team composition and overall tasks/themes in place that can be used as a draft proposal to be sent to the client.
