Better organized projects
A more complete collaboration is maintained by all the members, allowing tasks to be kept more concentrated and more simplified
Pros
It is a simple tool to work with where I can better manage each project that is being carried out with the work group in real time, giving precision in the tasks to be carried out.
Its installation execution is simple without problems with a powerful and secure software where the data is protected
Cons
It has a free trial where not all the tools are active until it starts to be paid for by a plan

Zenkit Review
I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone I know in a similar working environment to me who need to manage a lot of staff with varying roles. It’s a fantastic organising tool.
Pros
I absolutely love Zenkit, and use it every day. I like how you can upload pictures and make notes on items and have dialogue over certain tasks. I really really love the product and it is a vital way for me to manage staff and keep ontop of tasks. Plus a great way to organise myself with current and future projects.
I would really like to bring the product to the greater estate and use for all elements of the company like the farming, Properties etc and use it as the format for the entire company. but we are restricted on members.
Cons
To be fair, I havent had enough time to really see all the features and I am sure there is much more I can do with it.
What is frustrating is the lack of notifications when I or anther member add a new task- they have to go onto the app to see if there are any additional items I’ve added.. which is frustrating and of they don't check it, important tasks get missed.
I also would ideally like to add more people to the account as restricted in only a small amount of people, and the company is much bigger but that is down to cost.

Great Idea
Pros
There is a lot of flexibility. It does a great job of allowing you to look at your data in different ways (e.g,, sorting, filtering, groups).
Cons
The API and automation is lacking. It is hard to automate. I think AirTable has a much better API and automation system. Zenkit does have an easy system to click a checkbox and set a task to 'Done'.

Nothing's perfect but for what I need Zenkit comes close
I have been using tools of this type for years. I've invested more time than I want to admit to using tools for planning. I'm a big mindmap user. I use it as a way to get organized when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I also use spreadsheets often as to-do lists. I also make use of kanban boards at work and in my own personal projects. And finally I have been hooked for a long time on the use of labels/tags to organize things.
Zenkit is the first product I've used that allows you to do all of these things on the same data.
Pros
I like that Zenkit treats my list of issues as a database and provides me many ways to look at it and manipulated it. This was the initial hook for me and it's kept me hooked. I can view my issues as a list, a kanban board, a table, a hierarchy, and a mindmap. These are just the views I use. There are others. I haven't used the Gantt chart or the wiki views yet.
All of the good planning tools have the same basic fields -e.g. Title, description, the ability to leave notes and to attach things. It's this ability to turn my issues list on it's side so-to-speak and explore it that is amazing. It keeps my from getting overwhelmed by the details and lost in the forest.
The other thing I like most about this software is how flexible it is with the fields. For example each of my workspaces has what I call an anchor collection. I was able to add a custom field in each of my issues that allows me to link any one of the other issues in a workspace back to its anchor. I use this anchor as a way to collect information that anchors all of the issues to it. Sounds like a confusing workflow? The workflow isn't the point - it turns out that as I have gotten to know Zenkit I'm starting to lean away from the use of anchors and create more collections instead. The truly amazing thing here is that I had a low barrier to getting productive with Zenkit. I was able to morph the product to my workflow to get started. It didn't enforce "a way of thinking" on me.
Cons
The user interface took a bit of getting used to. Your issues can become cluttered as you add more custom fields. I'm still getting used to how the filters work as well.
Reasons for Choosing Zenkit
I had been making todoist work for me. I really liked the interface and it was pretty flexible. It didn't have all of the flexibility that I wanted but it was and is a rock solid product. There was a product change in a new release that broke my workflow in a way that was painful. It had to do with how the product handled completed tasks. I took a deep breath and took a look around and I found zenkit. It took a bit to get used of the look and feel but I was blown away because it looked at my issues in the way I want to look at them. I was using visual paradigm to help me visualize my projects with mind maps and flowcharts (BPMs). I still use it but this tool is overkill for what I use it for. It's targeted at software developers, but It has been the most flexible tool I've found for visualizing plans. It has been adding task lists,etc but like I said, it's overkill for my needs. I used Jira for a long time. I ran a local server on my PC. In my humble opinion it comes closest to doing what zenkit does as far as allowing you to slice and dice your data. It's also overkill. I had to administer it, maintain individual licenses for add-ons, etc. I had already moved away from Jira to Todoist before I switched to Zenkit. The Brain - I still use this daily but it's a data collector and not as good at being a planning tool. I tried to make it a planning tool during my search for a todoist replacement I looked seriously at toodledoo and tick tick alsoSwitched From

Best Software for Information Management
We couldn't live without it, the whole business runs on Zenkit.
Pros
The standard views replace any kanban board out there, the other views add a lot more.
Cons
Sometimes, performance is a little sub-optimal (especially on the app), but in the past two years a lot has happened and the team has improved this point already. Looking forward to the next updates.

Beautifully tracks my business processes and assets
Zenkit allows me to track progress of client projects and embed Kanban views onto private client pages of my company's website—essentially powering my business's client portals. I also use it to track business expenses, save receipts and other documents, and control my work calendar. I love that I can access is on both my desktop and phone.
Pros
Zenkit is very affordable with a sleek interface that is very intuitive. There is excellent documentation for its many uses as well as video tutorials and blogs that are invaluable to new users.
Cons
The data storage limits are relatively low. Free users can store up to 1GB of file attachments, but "Plus" users ($9/mo) only receive 6GB.

Using Zenkit for Research Projects
Overall experience: fantastic. I've been using it as my primary platform for organizing/managing projects for a couple of years now. Haven't found anything that good yet.
Pros
Zenkit interface is highly configurable, which makes it ideal to collaborate with team members with different technical backgrounds. One of the most amazing characteristics though is that any data can be relational - pretty much like in a RDB - and you can create your own data structures to organize yourself as you prefer.
Cons
The mindmap representation is a bit different of what one's used to find in mindmapping-related software, but this seems to be mostly due to web components limitations.

Agile Project Management Made Easy
Suddenly I have more time to help my project expand and offer greater service to our customers.
Pros
After only using Trello for project management for years I decided to explore various other options to help optimize the management of our project. Zenkit is super user friendly with loads of templates and documentation to get you started. I am really looking forward to use the full potential of this great piece of software.
Cons
I do not have any cons when using Zenkit, so far I have only had an excellent experience.

Zenkit is outstanding at task & project management. It's super customizable and easy to use. Our business can't live without it!

More Functionality than other project management software
I was looking for a free or freemium project management software, however, I found other project management software to be limited in what I needed it to be able to do. Zenkit fixed all of my functionality issues and then some. I can have each individual "collection" set to whatever view is best for that collection, whether that is Kanban, List, etc. I love how I can customize various fields and include key information that I need to have or be able to sort by (when I switch to Table view). I don't mind the lack of visuals (photos, icons) available via the free version and the space allowed is adequate for personal use. I definitely recommend Zenkit over other major project management tools I've worked with previously.
Pros
I love the new 2-factor authentication option even for personal (free) plans.
The biggest functionality pro over any other system I've tried is the Mindmap option. Another cool option is that you can create the Mindmap even if you originally started the collection as a Kanban board. I've used this feature to great success multiple times.
Additional views including List, Table, and Calendar. I like the multiple options as each project may have specific needs. I use the List for individual tasks, calendar view for my overall schedule, and Kanban for individual projects.
Customization and ability to add fields (instead of being forced to only add them as comments).
Cons
The User Interface can seem a little utilitarian and not as friendly as some other software systems.
No option to add additional visuals like photos or icons to individual Kanban cards until you are on a paid plan.
When entering information into a Kanban card, it can be difficult to know where your cursor is if you use the tab key to move to next field.

Powerful and on the rise
Very positive, I work with zenkit nearly two years and it helped me a lot in structuring my life and work.
Pros
As a PhD Candidate I have to manage different Projects, Students, Presentations etc. each with different time horizons and most on my own. I really like the kanban and hierarchy mode to structure my overall projects (collection) and its different smaller tasks within. Also I keep track of “one liners” (simple, one step task with low priority, but rising
urgency). Zenkit allow me to keep an overview of what I have to do and done already for each project. I recommend the to-do add-in and each task should have due date.
Cons
With the new zenkit to do software it should be more easy to track your daily and weekly tasks for each project, by integrating the collections into the to do software. Yet this feature does not work properly. Nevertheless the support I very good and helpful.

zenkit is the perfect tool to work in a transparent and organized way
In the startup that we are creating we use zenkit to organize our tasks according to the objectives set and the times available to each person. This also makes it easier for us to work remotely without having to organize regular meetings. Everyone knows what to do in each 2-week sprint and can see the progress of the project. It also helps us to detect where there are problems, attending to cards that are abandoned for a while, and allows us to react and modify the strategy when necessary.
Pros
I find it very intuitive, easy to use and often updated by adding new features
Cons
so far I haven't detected any crucial problems. Normally when I haven't been able to do something it's because I didn't know the functionality and finally trying it I've achieved it.

A fantastic tool
The main use I have for Zenkit is to manage software changes in a validated environment. Each change request hs it's own card which is then tracked through the development and validation process and into production. The cards contain references to cards representing requirements, design and test documents that need to be updated as part of the change. Individual tasks for the change are presented in check lists and the review and approval cycles are managed in seperate check lists.
Pros
Zenkit has a great many features to aid productivity. Like most online kanban tools it allows you to create your own columns to suite the process you're managing. But the kanban board is just the start as the same data can be presented as a list, a table or a calendar and the data can be manipulated in each of these views. This makes it extremely easy to view and update the data.
Each individual 'card' can be customised with additional labels, checklists, references to other cards in other collections, formulas, text fields, dates and many other custom field types. Zenkit really is kanban on steroids.
Cons
Probably the mindmap view of the cards. I've not found a use for this view, but this shouldn't detract from the overall quality and functionality of the product.

It's let me hope that I can not only manage, but lead!
As explained in the review: confidence.
Pros
The ability to relate kanban cards (in my case, products and people, the latter numbering about 60) across boards in a way that is immediate and clear. I can see what outcomes I could nudge people about, or keep in mind, when communicating with them about something else. I'm also impressed by the support -- my report of a minor problem received an almost instant, and personal, response -- and, generally, the sense that this software permits creative applications.
Cons
I'm using the free version simply because I'm wary of subscriptions (also not something a university finance department copes with readily), though I know that's the norm: easier to pay more up front, once. That leaves me with a limited range of display options, most of which (white on dark) aren't legible. An IoS app (which is on the way) would be useful, as would a single user's guide: again, I realize blogs and videos are the norm, but I'd like a single source I could search. Zenkit offers a variety of views -- kanban, calendar, table -- but each is confined to a single board, and it would be helpful to be able to generate a master view so that all deadlines, e.g., are available to view in one screen.

A great alternative
See above
Pros
Zenkit combines where other software needs to be linked.it is not only an organizational tool and group task planner but can also handle parts of a can and inventory. Being very customizable with lots of features it has its pitfalls and you get fast to its limitations when you want to use it outside its core. Calendar functionality, navigation with mouse, screen adaption etc. gets quickly to a point where you feel there is missing something. If you are willing to accept that, you can run a small business just off Zenkit
Cons
Included above, it gets quickly to limitations outside the task management functions

Awesome support team. Had a question about downloading archived data into a flat file, got a response within minutes and had a good conversation about the desired feature. Team built it into their revision the next day and sought feedback. Absolutely fantastic response time and personal interaction.
Pros
Easily configurable (and reconfigurable) based on a well-thought-out data structure. Provides significantly more features and options than competing products. Particular fan of the calendar view
Cons
Have run into occasional connectivity or saving issues, but they're called out in the UX and quickly remedied by the development team.

Great working environment and high degree of flexibility to tailor it to your needs!
Pros
I enjoy the fact that the software can be easily adapted to our specific needs. This improves functionality and really is a benefit to us.
Further, it is very ease to use on different devices - with full functionality - thereby enabling work on the go.
Cons
The high degree of functions to be tailored to your needs make the tool also slightly difficult to fully grasp in the first place. It takes some times to get fully used to how it worked with best.

Finally found what I needed!
A very easy way to organise my tasks and projects of my PhD project.
Pros
It is an extremely versatile product, as I can change to my calendar, list of tasks, Kanban, ... with just one click! New features have been added since I first started using it, and I love it more and more. Additionally, as I use it just for me personal, it is free!
I currently use it for organising my tasks related to my PhD, as I am working on different projects at the same time. I tried using Asana and Trello as well, but they are not as versatile as Zenkit!
Cons
The recent addition of the Mind Map is not exactly as I would want it. I would like to add different mind maps to one project, but all nodes should be linked to each other, which makes it impossible to create multiple mind maps. Also, the root I would make, would be the name of my project, and I find it annoying that it would show up in my Kanban/lists. Anyway, this is still a very small annoyance, and I do not use the mind map anyway.

User-friendly, intuitive and streamlined presentation
Gain of time for everyone. As it is really easy to use, we had no colleague reluctant to use it.
Pros
The agenda and tasks organisation from one presentation to an other are really useful ! We can still use it as a Trello and then have a clearer arrangement as a calendar. Using the french version, I can also say it is rare to have an app translated as Zenkit and made us choose it instead of an other app to organise our activity.
Cons
A shortcut from my Gmail box as Trello for Gmail could be a plus.
I still use Trello with the IT team : they have lots on datas on Trello and are used to it and I can give them the infos from customers directely from my mailbox.

The perfect project management tool to keep you organized
Pros
I used to start doing everything with Trello where before I just had normal To-Do lists all over the place. Then I found Zenkit and loved all the additional features that Trello doesn't have. It's super customizable so that you really can accustom the tool to your liking and way of working. It structures our whole Startup Team and my private life.
Cons
There is still a lot of movement, since Zenkit also is a startup. The layout changes often, there are some bugs from time to time and the features still keep changing and advancing. On the other hand that can be a Pro if you want a system that's still innovating and evolving.

Our GQueues, Wunderlist & Trello Replacement.
We were a big wunderlist user and stopped as soon as we got wind that Microsoft was probably going to kill it. We tried Trello and had been using Gqueues and always been using Slack. Slack by default became the main collaboration tool. Downfall with Slack is QC is a little tough and very expensive depending on how your team is set-up.
Zenkit makes it a lot easier to see where we have been and where we are going.
Pros
One of the best things is that both Windows/Desktop and Android are very close for UI. I also like that the same data can be looked as a List, Kanban Card (which is how we use it most) to making mindmaps, Calendar and Table. That helps for planning as well as looking at history.
The 2-way Google calendar sync works well, both easy to set up and how events in Calendar show up in Zenkit
The biggest thing I like is the checklist inside a Kanban Card and the "Done" that has both a check dot and also a checkmark. That allows for see a two level completion process.
Cons
It is a little quirky and setting time for example requires a little getting used to. If one's end date gets before start as you modify it will not save even if after corrected until you clear the end date and start over. After awhile you get in the habit of clearing the end date.
I do miss from Trello how a checklist item can be made into a Kanban Card by a click.
Had a few instances where syncing seems to lag. This is most noticeable when you are using the desktop app in windows and have it opened in a browser like Chrome. Desktop does not appear to always update on its own.

Absolutely amazing !
It makes me get organised and productive in my job. As person trying to implement and stick to the Agile methodology in my work, makes everything really easy for me.
Pros
Love the simplicity to use and the short and easy learning curve. Every functionality is placed and working kind of intuitively. I am also using the Iphone app, which is absolutely amazing as well, all the functionality of the desktop version is available every time , everywhere in my pocket. Zenkit really means one thing and this is Productivity at it's best. And last but not least is the FREEDOM to use the app without any limitations of the features ABSOLUTELY FOR FREE!!! I am a startup founder who just left his full time corporate job to pursue his dreams and at this time cash is really important for me. Zenkit to plan absolutely everything from the concept to task to be executed. Over the years i found that when brainstorming the most convenient way for me are by using Mind maps. I was using Trello, then Asana before that, but the lack of mind maps made me looking constantly for a other solutions, which will give me the opportunity to easily convert the ideas in tasks and build whole working projects. Well Zenkit does exactly this, from ideas to full projects to be managed with most effective productivity and project management techniques in the easiest possible ways. Brainstorm with Mind maps, create task and execute them in Kanban or List, then easily present or manage them as full blown tables ( i even almost stopped using Excel ). I also like is the constant evolving off the app in only positive way. The team behind it really know their job!

As we Germans say - the "egg laying woolmilkhog" :)
First of all ZENKIT got me by the amazing support and friendly people behind the product. Quick reacting, personal and really interested in what the customer is doing or requesting.
The tool itself can basically do everything, from normal lists to KANBAN ending at MindMap functionality. I can use whatever I feel like and can even use employees to work on problems THEIR way while I can supervise MY way. Or work together as a team. But thats just work - I also use it in private areas. SO currently I use to manage the issues and challenges of MY PRIVATE LIFE / RALLY RACING TEAM / BIKE RACING TEAM / LUXURY CAR DEALERSHIP / CHARITY BIKERs CLUB / BARBER SHOP / PRIVATE CONSULTING COMPANY / CAR CLEANING COMPANY and so on. And I dont even use 50% of the functionality. Whatever you need to organize - ZENKIT is the tool!
And if you are not sure know how to use it or what else to do with it - look at the blog entries and videos. The concept of GTD for example opened up to me through one of their blog entries! And finding a template in the tool helped to accelerate!
Pros
The many ways to enter and use the tool. App. Web. Web Offline. All relevant platforms.
The many ways of handling information: list. kanban. mindmap. table. calendar.
The design. Awesome.
The flexibility. Need a special field to hold information? No problem, just create it.
Need automated reminders, etc. No deal, enter their specifics and get reminded.
The support. Individual. Quick. Listening.
The numerous templates. Save time by just applying prepared configs for your individual topic.
Cons
I dont understand the question... :) Honestly, havent found a downside so far!

Excellent product… Fills a unique niche
Awesome ... effective ... and the support people respond to online chat questions within a day.
Pros
This is the most effective tool/environment that I have found for navigating between a big picture "concept" (blue sky) view/conversation about a complex issue through the detailed work of executing tasks and delegating assignments for people to complete on a timely basis.
In my past, I have had difficulty helping executives to understand the many moving parts to create a thorough solution.
However, using Zenkit, I have been able to help people who are "visiting" an issue to understand/sponsor/champion a go-forward plan which captures their emotional as well as verbal support. More importantly, I have found the success to be repeatable – not just a one-off with a single personality-type.
Cons
The mindmap view has been critical to my success. However, because Zenkit can only print the mindmap view from a screen capture copy, I am often not comfortable handing out hardcopies because the image sometimes blurs (the online view is fine - I manage the browser setting).
My one wish is that Zenkit would offer an output version which can expand without pixelating.

I LOVE this product!
Our team needs to use project/task management tools in multiple ways, so a traditional tool doesn't work for us. We tested over 250 tools. In the end, Zenkit is the only one that gives us what we need. We have a course catalog that we maintain - tracking live projects and their on-going maintenance. We also have annual goals for our team and individual team members. We provide support for a website, so have a need to track items like tickets. And finally, we get random requests that aren't attributed to annual goals and need to be tracked separately. We were able to create 4 projects in Zenkit, each with different fields, views, and uses. But they all link together. It's made us much more efficient in our workflows and reporting.
Pros
This product gives our team what we need in terms of tracking for projects and goals. But it also gives us the ability to have each team member view that information in a way that makes sense to them. It doesn't force us to use spreadsheets or kanbans, but rather gives us options. Our director loves giant spreadsheets, one teammate prefers mind maps, and I would rather see a kanban board. We each get the same data in the view we prefer.
Cons
Honestly, my only gripe is that when I need to contact support for anything, we're on different time zones. Eastern in the US for us, Germany for Zenkit. That's not really a big deal though.

Zenkit's different views on my tasks help me get stuff done
Typically going from ideation or task breakdown through to execution. I would have started with a mindmap in freemind, then cut and pasted into Trello, but it's one way - changes in Trello are then not reflected in Freemind. Using Zenkit lets me easily flip views, I didn't re-key and the data in both views is identical.
I use it to plan my holidays too :-)
Pros
Very flexible. The different views over the same data really sold it for me. I can brainstorm with a mind map, work on individual tasks on a Kanban board, use a grid for mass maintenance, all over the same data with much less setup overhead than something like Notion.
I even use it to plan my holidays
Cons
Most of my "leasts" have been addressed. I was frustrated initially with the lack of an API, but they were just prioritising development and this is now released. The mind-mapping took a bit of getting used to compared to say, FreeMind, but not having to re-key anything going from Brainstorm to Kanban made it worthwhile.

You may not have heard of Zenkit before, but once you do, you wo´t let go of it
Overall I am very pleased with Zenkit as it gives me a lot of flexibility on how do I want to manage my project and team. The product is being continuously improved, which gives me the assurance that even the small things that are currently missing, will one day be implemented. Additionally, the easy to use interface and easy to understand functionality makes the experience even better. I do recommend Zenkit without a hesitation and will continue using it in the future as well!
Pros
I really enjoy the fact, that the free tier is already packed with the full functionality and requires a subscription only when you rise above the free tier limits, which in my opinion is generous and a great option especially for startups, where money is tight. It really helped me personally organize my project and lay a foundation of current and future tasks. With just 2 clicks you can switch view from Kanban to mindmap or a list of estimates regarding time, budget and resources. It really is a great multi-functional tool and the best part is, that the developers are listening to the users and continuously improve the user experience and overall functionality!
Cons
One obstacle I see is that every time I rolled on a new team member, I had to explain them how to do things and what are the tricks. Zenkit already has a great in-depth documentation and few explanatory videos, but having something like a small training course would help me and my team greatly.

An exzellent tool to organize your live and your work with family, friends and colleagues
Zenkit is a great tool to organize task - for private or work related projects.
There are way simpler and more complex tools on the market, I do love Zenkit - and recommended it a lot to more than a dozen different startups.
Pros
Zenkit ist really easy to use, works on alle divides, the mobile version makes it easy to do even Wunderlist-kind of small task and get the good feeling of „get shit done“.
The complexity of Zenkit makes ist also possible to work on full srum-type projects.
Cons
I do not have reals cons. In the two years of daily use of the software, a couple of bugs and wishes occur, were sent to zenkit‘s costumer relations and were fixed immediately.

Love this software!
I use Zenkit to keep track of my tasks at work. It has replaced all of my sticky notes that I used to use to keep track of my to do list. I can now easily prioritize items, take a quick glance at everything I need to do, and check things off. I also use one of the columns to track talking points with my one on one with my boss. I absolutely love it!
Pros
Easy to use and import data. I can easily link it to other task related software using zapier. I love that I can easily switch between a kanban board, list, and mind map
Cons
I wish there was a way to group cards by type in the Mind map instead of having to create separate cards that act as headers. Perhaps by labels or something?
Response from Axonic Informationssysteme
Hi Nicole!
Thank you so much for your kind review. :) There will soon be an update of the mindmap view, stay tuned! Grouping items inside the mindmap view rigorously sound very interesting.

Amazing productivity app
I am using zenkit to keep track of my personal life in a modified GTD style. It has worked better than any other software I've tried, mostly thanks to the views and filters.
Pros
I've used list software for years to remember all the little things in my life. Zenkit takes that a step further with the different views available. I personally use the calendar and list view every day. The filters are also great and easy to setup.
Cons
I am using the free version so I need to use a workaround for recurring tasks since that feature is only for paid customers. The android app is also frequently very slow and offline mode doesn't always work.

Clean, beautiful, and minimal UI. Excellent user experience.
Structure, organization, and a beautiful interface and user experience.
Pros
I love how simple it is to use Zenkit. A lot of project management software often times have a lot of features and an over-complicated user interface. A lot of the time I find myself clicking aimlessly just to accomplish a simple task. What I love about Zenkit is it's simplicity, its ease in creating projects, to-do's within said project, linking to-do's to other projects, too, and having it all stored in an easily accessible sidebar, without any clutter. It gets straight to the point.
Cons
Zenkit is a webapp, and as such, is amazing at storing all your projects and to-do's online, so if you need to access them from another computer, you can do so. This is always a plus, but an app would be very helpful, too. In those times of disconnecting from the internet or having a website blocker on my browser for productivity, having access to the site without having to tinker too much with my blocking app would be great.

Great for Small Business
Excellent experience with customer service. The only glitch was a small one when I upgraded my plan, but they helped me figure out a way around it. I love that they continue to develop the software instead of allowing it to remain stagnant.
Pros
I like that our team can see our plans and data in a variety of different formats, as each person has a different work style - some prefer tables, some Kanban, some Gantt. Everyone can get what they want and need.
Cons
Overall, the biggest challenge is not the software itself but getting our team to use it effectively and wholly. But that's an issue with every software implementation.

Best alternative to Trello
Trello new plans have made me hunt for a new software I found zenkit to be the perfect alternative for that. I like the simple UI of zenkit. They have apps for every platform which is really good. I have shifted from trello to zenkit and I'm really happy
Pros
I'm just loving zenkit for it's simple and minimal UI. They have many advanced features which are missing in trello for example recurring items, you can add notes for the task for reference so that you don't miss the important things in the task. You can find all your tasks in the calendar view with filters like scheduled and unscheduled which is helpful while maintaining the list of tasks to be done. Even the free version of this software provides many features that are on paid plans on the other softwares which is impressive.
Cons
I would like to have more templates so that i can choose a better one, Right now they have very less templates.

Help you get organised in different ways
I enjoy using Zenkit for personal project and/or management.
I use it to manage my video game collection, but also to organize my tasks at home and personal projects I want to run. I'm looking forward to be able to share the experience with more people and use it on larger projects.
Pros
The different option to visualize your information and modulate it to fit your needs and/or your preferences. The fact that you can look at the same information as table, a kanban board, a mindmap, etc... makes Zenkit very user friendly and help having people with different expectation to work on the same information and data.
Cons
I'm sure the visual could still benefit from a nice facelift and maybe give more aesthetic options to the users to make it easier on the eye, but this is not a huge issue.
The website would gain in being a bit more responsive sometimes, but the android application works very nicely.

Great potential - in the right hands, could be your one tool for complete project management
Pros
I found this software when searching for a simple web-based relational database to be shared between me and another academic researcher, we need to organize some research data for a digital humanities project. It meets that need, however, it's also much deeper than that. It has project management features (Kanban, Agile, simple checklists), calendars, basically a one-stop-shop for running a project, including hosting simple database needs (like an inventory), which I have never seen offered in any other project management app. It also has free, fully featured iOS apps, which I have really enjoyed using. I have never been able to access my database on my phone before! (Also an Android app, but I haven't used it.) A lot of bang for the buck here, and free to use at small levels!
Cons
It's ambitious and heavily featured, but probably due to that, still buggy. I have yet to get my imported research database fully working, although I've built a sample database from scratch that works. However, customer service is very responsive (especially considering I am not a paying customer yet) and have been upfront with the problems and their time line in correcting them, so I'm going to stick it out with them for a while longer.

Easy to use, lucid, versatile and flexible
Pros
With Zenkit you can define different Collections and Teams for different purposes and adjust them precisely to their corresponding purpose.
In every collection, you can design items exactly as you need them using different custom fields such as labels, dates, links, attachments. This allows usage of Zenkit for customer tables, scrum boards, simple to-do lists and much more.
Different views (Kanban, table, ...) and filters allow for detailed control over your collections.
Cons
Sometimes, Zenkit is not able to save local changes on the server and you lose some of the applied changes.
Linking items of different collections is unnecessarily complicated.

Great tool for Kanban-like project management and to collect other data for a team
Pros
Zenkit is an easy-to-use project management tool that works on different devices and in your web browser. It is perfect to organize a team. You can use it to keep a scrum/kanban board. Moreover, you can use the so-called collections to gather all kinds of data that are important for your team and display and filter this data. The "my team"-tool gives you an overview of the data/tasks that are assigned to you.
Cons
In the "my team" view I would appreciate the possibility to filter for specific collections or to change the order in which the collections are arranged. Additionally, it would be nice to filter for specific labels/stages in the "my team" view.

Really love Zenkit and use it on daily basis to organize by tasks
After reading several helpful articles on how to use it, as well as some theories about organizing tasks (Getting Things Done, among others), I started using it to organize by daily workflow and keep track what what I had to do. It's really been a huge catalyst in changing how prioritize task and keep track of what I need to do at home, work, and on the go.
Pros
It's very easy to use, has a lot more features for organizing and filtering tasks than other similar programs, and interfaces well with other applications.
Cons
I would like for there to be more themes/colors to choose from without having to pay too much.

Lots of Great Features for Free!
Zenkit has been a huge help from a project management perspective. We've been able to eliminate several spreadsheets we were using for project tracking. The information contained in Zenkit is robust, and because it's completely customizable, it provides the exact information my business needs.
Pros
Zenkit offers a lot of great features on their free version. It's become a central part of my business and I opted to upgrade to a paid version after using it for a couple months. Zenkit is great because everything can be customized to your own individual business from workflows to labels.
Cons
It takes a little effort to get up and running because you basically have to customize everything you want the software to do. Because it doesn't have any templates set up, there is a slight learning curve.

Excellent, Inexpensive: PM & Tracking Tool
Currently using this for my personal life and work life to keep my projects on track. Works great forth both!
Pros
Inexpensive: I'm currently using the free option which comes with a lot of features! Format options: Love the ability to switch back and forth between different formats (Kanban, List, Schedule, etc.). Flexibility: Having access to my projects via iOS app, web app, and desktop apps offers a lot of flexibility!
Cons
The Windows desktop app appears to just be a web-wrap, which means it is a little glitchy, resource heavy and I have to sign in over & over again. Starts to be frustrating!

Best tool for Project Management
As a student,Zenkit has the ability to organize academic projects very easy and free.In the industry, as Project managers we can deliver more effective and productive projects for the customers with standards.
Pros
Zenkit is a simple and user-friendly project management application which can use very easily. Team projects and single projects related to academic and industrial, makes very easy to handle. It gives you so many options like team Inbox,bulk actions,drag and drop to manage task and projects . It has mind mapping functions. It supports many operating systems.

Zenkit is my go to task and project management app, and for good reason!
Flexible views give me everything I need to organize my tasks, projects, goals, and teams. Having one central location for all this information and being able to quickly adapt it to meet my current needs puts Zenkit in a class of its own.
Pros
Zenkit has quickly become my favorite task and project management app. It combines the strength of several different utilities into one incredibly convenient package.
One of the key concepts that sets Zenkit apart is the ability to change views. Go from viewing tasks in standard "To Do" lists to a two-level Kanban (Trello-style) board with a single click. Feel like laying the items out in a mind map? One more click away. Need to batch update items or schedule them on a calendar? Zenkit can do that too with additional views.
As you dig deeper, you find even more functionality. Link collections together to plan projects, track inventory, or follow sales leads. This is honestly where it leaves other systems in the dust. I have the ability to set up projects, connect them to weekly priorities, and then assign the next actions on a master task collection and easily switch between them all.
I really can't say enough about this incredible piece of software!
Cons
As a non-profit, I would love to have the ability to add more people to our team without paying more, but that is more about me being cheap than about the software or pricing itself.

Pros
This is a highly customizable version of other more famous softwares of the same kind, which allows users to do about everything they might want to do. I used it for a first project, for a first company, and didn't hesitate one second about adopting it when I started working in a second company.
Cons
The card display in the kanban view, or in other views, could be more customizable for clarity purposes. Sometimes a bit sluggish, although very fast overall.
