Jira

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

We stil use Jira for out Software development team

Vorteile

It is a good platform which supports in managing and planning the project related activities easily.

Nachteile

No cons so far in the platform, very nice

Vorteile

Perfect tool used for Task planning, it's management and execution of project requirement very efficiently

Nachteile

Very useful platform for project platform, no cons till now

Vorteile

Its implementation is quite simple since it allows to visualize all the impediments that represent an obstacle in the fulfillment of the activities planned in a project, in addition to having the possibility of describing comments and observations that indicate the causes of the deviations, to make the corrections. at an early stage.With the implementation of Kanbanize, we achieve customer satisfaction thanks to the improvement in delivery times and the increase in the general quality of the product or service that we have modeled.

Nachteile

Kanbanize's strength is based on activity monitoring, which does not show or manage more than the information that is necessary, nor does it focus on the mathematical analysis of data and metadata to generate complex progress charts in a project. It does not focus, for example, on performing a percentage efficiency analysis based on compliance dates, or developing correlation graphs for variables identified within the project. This platform, based on the kanban methodology, is entirely based on agility, prioritizing quality, applying waste reduction, and being very flexible when it comes to successful implementations and continuous improvement.

Vorteile

Kanbanize lets you effortless implement Kanban Method principles and practices to your company, gaining visibility of what is going and improving performance at all levels. It doesn't matter if it's a top-down strategy or a bottom-up initiative, Kanbanize will help you for sure.

Nachteile

Flow-based analytics are spectacular, but the built-in tool for designing reports have a lot of room for improvement. Good news is that, if you need to gain deeper data insight, you can easily integrate Kanbanize with 3rd party business intelligence tools.

Kanbanize has several easy to use and powerful functionalities we felt in love: customs fields, business rules, workspaces and card templates, etc.

Vorteile

Extremely visually informative and intuitive to understand what's displayed.
With a little bit of practice, easy and intuitive to use.
Extremely configurable, powerful but balanced with straightforward to do the configuration.
Great metrics available - note, it's dependent on good data being present, it's not a magic tool!
Great support, help, knowledge base and YouTube video channel.

Nachteile

No cons, per se - more a case of expectation setting. Because Kanbanize is powerful, it does need some behind the scenes set up and configuration - this isn't hard to do, once you know how, but it does take some time and effort to understand how to do it. The support team, knowledge base and YouTube channel really helps.

Vorteile

Kanbanize has amazing features. It's a very intuitive front end, it nicely visualizes complex projects and processes, is highly customizable, allows easy work-delegation across different hierarchies and teams, provides just the right amount of information needed to drive management focus and delivers meaningful, again highly customizable, data to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement.
We chose it because it serves every need a large organisation might have, from small agile teams, via complex process flows to NPI projects with hundreds of people involved.
The best of all features are the business rules though; with that the admnistration burden which we experienced as the No 1 reason for resistance is reduced to a minimum and the automation also helps the standardization of how work is executed and accelerates the engagement of all involved parties.
And the best quality is the Kanbanize team itself, they are not only highly customer-oriented, but they realease new features on a monthly basis and evolve much faster (and robust) than any competitor.

Nachteile

The only point I can come up with is that it would be nice if we could fully hide swim lanes that are currently not of interest, like it can be done in excel.

Warum Businessmap gewählt wurde

1. Financial Reasons 2. Functionalities 3. Speed of Development (frequency of new releases)

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

We had a list of over 100 requirements incl. Customer experience (look and feel), features, integrations and security and Kanbanize scored the highest and were the personell fully supportive and transparent - the kind that one would liek to work with over many years.

Vorteile

I primarily liked that the board does everything you need for a variety of situations. Many online kanban boards have some kind of limitation that makes them less than ideal, like no swim lanes or no ability to have subcolumns with a common WIP limit. Kanbanize is flexible enough to cover every situation.

The "initiatives" layer of the board was not something we were looking for originally but came to appreciate. Usually, setting something like that up requires some careful board nesting and coordination, but Kanbanize does it automatically. If you want more granularity, the built-in initiatives feature may not be enough, but it's good enough to cover most usage scenarios.

The metrics are the same as the ones we keep, manually, so being able to automatically generate those is great.

Nachteile

The flexibility does take a little time to get used to because so much is offered, but there is an extensive knowledge base. There is also only a limited ability to change a card's historical data, like time spent in various columns, but a lot of online kanban software is like that as well. Also, you get what you pay for, and although I think Kanbanize is the best product out there, it's also one of the more expensive options. Not as expensive as some, but still near the top.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Jira, Planview AgilePlace, Trello, Kanban Tool und KanbanFlow

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

Mainly, all the other products were missing one or more key things we needed to handle our usage. Some of them wouldn't let you do subcolumns. Some would, but they couldn't share a WIP limit. Some wouldn't let you do swim lanes. Etc.

Vorteile

At the most basic level, Kanbanize organizes and manages the data. Benefits are realized in the first 10 minutes of use. After that, as needs grow, the capabilities are waiting for use. I can brief students on the process, and they are able to integrate their team. Most have never seen Kanban tools before. One of my project managers, who had not used the tool before, set up business rules and templates for a student simulation project with teams all over the world.

Nachteile

There are no negatives. The closest I can come is a UI element in one of the upgrades. I asked about it and it was changed several days later.

Vorteile

Friendly interface, easy to set up. Logic ir very simple and comfortable. We used in our sales processes and new product implementation proceses. 10-14 regular users were regulary connected. About 400-500 kanban leads. Pricing is ok. Could be free version for 3-5 users, it would help to promote software more.

Nachteile

When we connected more users and opened more leads kanban cards it started to be extremely slow. Iphone or android application interface is different and does not have the same navigation functions. Reports are not comfortable. We used external software to generate report (dynamic reports) not static print outs. I see that IT guys more focus on functionality vut forget interface and reports to track project what is exactly CEO needs. For small company to play is ok. For bigger too weak.

Odoo

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

It was recomended by consulting company. And worked quite good till we loaded with much data and more users. Later we switched to Odoo as they alow to run on own server.

Vorteile

Kanbanize has given us a platform to bring our teams together. What once was accomplished through emails and phone calls, is now accomplished with the click of a button. From design to installation and everywhere in between, projects are easily tracked in an easy to use and visually appealing Kanban board.

Nachteile

It took a while for us to recognize and rollout all the features Kanbanize had to offer. On first glance the software is simple and intuitive, but there is so much power in the analytics, business rules, Google sheet imports and third party integrations. Once we realized the software’s full potential and learned how to take advantage of all it had to offer, things really took off.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Trello, monday.com und Adobe Workfront

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

Kanbanize was the most visually appealing and intuitive option. A lot of kanban software is geared toward software development, but Kanbanize was versatile and customizable to perfectly fit our specific construction/production environments.

Vorteile

I think that the adaptability to create any imaginable workflow that can replicate a production process, with an impressive number of cards (~2000 a day) with all the data you need through the relations between other cards or with custom fields was my first "Uau". Then I had time to discover how can we manage some automation through the Policies, and when we need more, we had a very capable API to fill the gaps.

Nachteile

When we needed new functionality to visualize information, we asked for it, and in time it arrived in the next releases. We had some problems with the API that also were solved in subsequent releases. To say something to help decide others, I must say that the path to solving some situations has been hard, but it's the same when you learn to use a new product. Then, in that case, you have to contact the support team.

Vorteile

It's easy to use and set up, is easy to understand and really helps our automation.

Nachteile

Time trackig funcionalites is not easy, we need to log time card by card. The analytics panel sometimes can be hard to setup.

Vorteile

1) Project Visualization - colors!
2) Task tracking
3) Card templates
4) Multiple workflows on a single board
5) Swimlanes for categorizing work in any workflow
6) Seamless collaboration across teams from multiple departments
7) Create your own workflow, depending on your organization's processes
8) The software complies with every aspect of the Kanban method
9) You can learn how to progress with Kanban thanks to the build-in tutorials within the product
10) Automation

Nachteile

The product's main drawback is that it is a complex Kanban software due to its many features, integrations, and functionalities. Thus, it takes some time to learn how to implement the product to its best within your day-to-day work. However, for everyone familiar with the Kanban method, using Kanbanize should be a straightforward process.

Vorteile

I suggest Kanbanize sincerely to anyone who wants to implement a modern Kanban system, maybe it can be even better than physical boards

Nachteile

I would love a freemium version that is not limited in time, but only with limited functionality.
I think it could help many love this software as much as I do.

Vorteile

Kanbanize excels at visual management and at the capability of connecting the different levels of the organization (horizontally and vertically). Its design is also intuitive allowing users to explore new features with ease. Updates and news are communicated often as well which bring Kanbanize and its users very close with each other.

Nachteile

I have not been able to integrate Kanbanize with other tools yet, mostly because it must be done by third party tools and it implies additional costs most of the time. However, I can clearly see that built-in integrations (without third parties) are becoming more common, so this may not be an issue in the future anymore.

Vorteile

I really like the features provided by Kanbanize to fit the Kanban systems I designed. The application is simple and to the point.

Nachteile

The charts, the cards' usability, and the lack of shortcuts really make it hard to use the application. Also, there is no mobile application.

Vorteile

Kanbanize is a very flexible tool set that allows us to clearly map out specific workflows for our clients. Clients love it because they can see and update the status of all of their work within their specific workflow not a workflow imposed on them by a software package.

We also like the flexibility of the cards made possible by custom fields, attachments, images and so on.

Nachteile

Kanbanize is very feature rich. When users initially get on the platform, they can suffer some intimidation. However, Kanbanize is so easy to use and so well thought out, it's amazing to watch people work with it for the first time. Within hours and even minutes in some cases, our clients are moving through the boards and managing their work, all while having lots of fun!

Vorteile

The huge benefit about Kanbanize is the hability of visualizing huge boards by collapsing and expanding key areas, no other software alows you to do it

Nachteile

As a license payer you do search from time to time alternatives due to high-ish price

Vorteile

The software is easy to implement and adapt. It ahs excellent visualization capabilities and supreme analytics. Well accepted by teams and managers.

Nachteile

No free version. Only 1-month trial available.

Vorteile

Although feature rich, Kanbanize is easy to start with. Simple templates, explainers and a knowledge base are there to guide you if you need it.

I knew Kanban when I started with Kanbanize and it was a great experience to work with a true Kanban tool. It felt very familiar and with a great UI it quickly became my favorite tool.

Nachteile

Kanbanize offers rules for automation. This is really awesome. However, for me there are never enough rules, so I liked the limitation of rules the least.

Vorteile

I most like its ease of use; breadth of features; analytics; portfolio kanban; regular improvements; excellent support; integration capabilities

Nachteile

I have not found anything particularly unlikable

Warum Businessmap gewählt wurde

I wanted a product that enabled good management according to the complete Kanban method, rather than a trivial product that focused only on visualization and automation of tasks.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

Kanbanize provides extensive features enabling you to truly analyze, manage and optimize the flow of work. This is the real reason for using the kanban method. Other tools completely lack the analytics and the portfolio capabilities that are built in to Kanbanize, or they require complicated integrations that you have to design and implement yourself to achieve similar goals.

Vorteile

Great set of features. Full support for any Kanban scenario (both IT and non-IT).
Very useful integration API (REST).
The tool itself and integration API are very stable and bugless.
There is very interesting mechanism for sharing information with 3-rd party stakeholders. E.g. use to share project status with a final client.
Really good support (both technical and commercial)

Nachteile

Pricing for small teams could be improved

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The visualisation and linking of work. Then the blockers highlighted for the conversation

Nachteile

Resource management and the timeline need a bit of work

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Warum Businessmap gewählt wurde

To complex for teams not working on products

Vorteile

Easy to use and define workflow/rules
Statistics about solved issues
Great customer care

Nachteile

Missing some stast, but they are on the list :)

Vorteile

Very intuitive to use (but beware, there is much more under the hood than meets the eye at first).
A powerful business tool and awesomely responsive support team.

Nachteile

As with any software, there are areas where the functionality does not meet our needs, but the benefits far outweigh the negative areas. To name two limitations that come to mind:
- The automation is very powerful, but there are not too many options and one cannot really start building advanced logic.
- There also is no native link to external reporting tools, but there is a work-around to export an advanced query to Excel and then use that as source.

Vorteile

Easy to use and deal projects with, easy to follow tasks execution/status, clear and easy to follow communication. Everything is well visualized.

Nachteile

Nothing I can think of at the moment, probably budgets can not be well tracked, but that is not the main concern of this particular product anyway.

Vorteile

The pop up for defining the card attributes is nice.

Nachteile

The cards are by ID number, something every database hides. The more important pieces of information are buried. Difficult to associate the kanban board with the actual workload. The construction of a multi swim lane workflow just isn't there. Product needs to consider a different method to visualize work.
They need to rework their card concept.

Vorteile

Linking various boards together and updating status across different boards

Nachteile

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)

Vorteile

This kanban solution is extremely powerful due to the simple intuitive interface design and the ability to quickly customize it to your work. It has a rich set of features and powerful integration. My favorites are Simple Cards Design, Easy Customization, powerful metrics, flexibility, and scalable views. It provides extreme power without complexity!

Nachteile

Business Rules and extremely powerful but could be more accessible.

Vorteile

The way you can start exactly where you are implementing the reality of your processes and business, and how capable is the software to adapt your experimentation journey through flexible board design and automated rules and policies. The portfolio and initiatives management is a very great asset too.

Nachteile

The way you need to add a second asignee through customized fields in order to handle different people in the same card. Not a good UX. Not easy or intuitive for clients.

Warum Businessmap gewählt wurde

very easy and fast. Kanbanize is very intuitive.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Businessmap

easy use and fast start to track tasks

Vorteile

Straightforward and user-friendly. The information about most of the features I need are all available online. The support responds on time and follow up with me until solution is achieved. The specialist we have in connection with is also insightful and ready to help. We get reasonable advice and commendable suggestions. The features evolve overtime and my observations are taken always into consideration. We have just renewed our subscription and I tell you, most of I need even about renewal or payment is available online.

Nachteile

Extracting more than 5k data result which, by workaround, advised by support was resolved.
Analytics in the beginning which I also get to understand after board and users mature overtime.

Vorteile

The flexibility to configure the workspaces, boards, workflows, cards and everything else is brilliant because it allows us to adapt to meet our specific processes and needs. The ability to create relationships between boards and between cards allows visibility and traceability across the organisation.

Nachteile

It's a really minor point but the way the software interacts with large touch screens varies on different web browsers - sometimes it's hard to drag cards or stickers around but it can be overcome easily by using a mouse.

Vorteile

Kanbanize es la más potente y amigable solución en el mercado para gestionar tareas usando los principios Kanban. Su interfaz es limpia, sumamente intuitiva e incluye algunas automatizaciones que productos similares no tienen con lo cual se facilita el seguimiento. Así mismo, es el único que permite combinar en una misma vista, Iniciativas en modo Timeline y tableros Kanban asociados cada uno con sus propios flujos de trabajo. Si amas Kanban, ésta es la herramienta que estabas buscando!

Nachteile

No le veo absolutamente nada en contra hasta el momento.

Vorteile

Integrating Kanbanize in to the Business was a fuss free affair due to the magnificent support network that Kanbanize offer. The ease of creating boards, cards, links, etc. combined with the plethora of functionality built in to Kanbanize makes it a very powerful tool.

Nachteile

Due to the small amount of time that I have used Kanbanize, I have yet to come across anything that I don't like.

Vorteile

. The 2 boards view (Management and Team)
. The Top-Down (from Initiative, Portfolio, Project, Team)
. The Bottom-Up (real time update)

Nachteile

Management of mandatory custom fields in workflow. It can be done, but it is not as straight fwd that it should be

Vorteile

Kanbanize is a very complete and feature-rich tool. It allows you to create your own workflow based on your process and immediately view the state of the art. The Kanbanize card is the most complete card I have seen in the various digital tools. The business rules allow you to insert strategic alerts on the board in order to anticipate problems. The Kanbanize Support is excellent: answers always arrive clear, complete and within a few hours.

Nachteile

Kanbanize is full of features and you need to study it constantly and thoroughly if you want to use it in the best way. In this way it is not so easy to use instantly, but when you learn how to do you forget the difficulties of the first days.
The second point I can come up with is that in filters, Analytics and xls export, colours are mentioned with their codes and this is not so user friendly.
Finally it is not possible to exclude non-working days from the analytic calculations.

Vorteile

Board design is easy, has exactly what I need and nothing of what I don't need.

Nachteile

Not great on mobile devices, though I typically don't need to use it on mobile.

Vorteile

Comprehensive modeling capabilities make it possible to express a multitude of different service workflows. Analytic capabilities are best in class. With Business Rules (automated event-based actions) advanced automation is possible, reducing administrative overhead and incidental complexity. Comprehensive API allows development of 3rd party tool integration.

Nachteile

Learning curve can be intimidating given the amount of options and customization. UI can be somewhat unintuitive at times.

Vorteile

ease of use and great way to track work and visualize all tasks...very customizable and adaptable for our processes

Nachteile

portfolio lane is not really robust yet like standard lanes

Vorteile

What i like most is that it enables the manager to assign duties to the different teams, and allows the workers to work more effectivetely.

Nachteile

Apply solutions for short projects, to have the efectivity as high as in the big projects.

Vorteile

Easy to use, power Kanban and API integration.

Nachteile

Filter function could be better, sometime find hard filter task!

Vorteile

Visualization, notifications, easy to learn and use. As easy to change as a physical Kanban board. Used LeanKit, Digité, Kanbanery and other Kanban tools since 2013 and Kanbanize is the best

Nachteile

Analytics module, difficult to interpret depending on cards done and archived. Also is expensive. No clear rules around archived and done cards (is confusing). Business Rules engine could be easier to set up and less expensive, for example with SLAs.

Vorteile

User interface is intuitive and easy to use. Features continue to grow with each months release putting it ahead of their competitors for usability. Helps orgs rise up the Kanban Maturity Model. Their support group is second to none, responding quickly and effectively no matter the issue. When new features have been requested, they always seem to show up within the next two monthly releases.

Nachteile

Easiest user interface in the market space

Vorteile

Ease of use, helpful support staff, set of videos for features, robust kanban experience

Nachteile

Nothing. As issues arise the support team has done an excellent job at addressing them and potentially fixing them within the application

Vorteile

The organizing ability of this software is phenomenal! The lanes and the columns are highly customisable and can be organised to custom-suit the project. Each ticket can be colour-coded so one can immediately see their distribution. It is also great to be able to link tickets.

Nachteile

It is a very complex software, and without proper training, one will not be able to utilise its full potential.

Vorteile

I like most the way that kanbanize has been designed. Friendly, Effective and Efficient UX/UI.
Excellent features for tracking portfolio and projects(timelines, initiatives,tasks).
Card details and custom fields.
Business Rule is the robust feature, it's adaptive easy to use and learn.
Metrics and measurements features contains everything.
Integration with all known tools.
BEST support ever !!!

Nachteile

We apply kanban in nonIT department where there are many categories and we forced to use the swimlanes as "big categories" in order to cluster our work instead of time COS.
I would like to see the dependencies between different swimlanes in another visual view. I don't have something specific but it's not easy to distinct some dependencies when they lie on different swimlanes
