Avis clients sur Zenkit

I was very happy, when Wunderlist went invisible, that I was able to import all my files, lists, schedules and archives into Zenkit. I expected to make few adjustments and carry on with my routines as they had been.

I like to use repeat functions on lists, so that daily / weekly / monthly tasks can be entered, set up and forgotten. I have been unable to do this with ease in Zenkit.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

I love the fact that the tool can have it on any device for free, connecting with all the tools I use in an organized and synchronized way, reminding me of even the activities that I need to do

Although it is very good for daily use, visually it is very basic, it needs more color, stickers, icon among other things to make it more attractive and people use it more regularly

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.

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.

Very easy to use. Templates are customizable.

Could have more options for export data.
Reports

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.

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.

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

Included above, it gets quickly to limitations outside the task management functions

I really love the high flexibility and adaptability of this tool. We use Zenkit for the organization and structuring of several different tasks. It is easy to observe and monitor the progress and depending on the application present and prioritize the data in a customized way.

Sometimes it is hard to get everything on the whole screen.

I just love all their functionalities! Being able braindump and get my projects sorted out into one place is amazing. I have my life and work organized and the great thing, I can choose the way I see my information according to my needs. I tried other management programs but didn't like any, until Ii found Zenkit!

It got me a bit to get the hang of it, but as soon as I really got into it, I realized it was just great!

I found Zenkit extremely helpful in keeping my professional and personal projects organized and under control. I use it to implement the Getting Things Done method, and I couldn't ask for a better tool. Customer support is outstanding! There are also a lot of nice features, such as cross-referencing and formulas that are very handy.

The mobile app can be a little slow (it's still worth having, though).

Over the year, I've learned to develop a complete personal productivity using just this app.
I love the visual mindmap and the flexibility of the custom fields

A flow chart builder in combination with the mindmap would be great.
I had to use another software to plan projects that require a flow chart.

Very versatile application, allows me to get things done. Good support.

Takes some time to get into. Some downtimes or slowness occurs sometimes.

It is easy to use from day one, since most tools are structured very user friendly. I like the efficiency it provides for sharing information and tasks with my team.

I am still learning how use some of the tools in a more efficient way. Although I can find most tools I absolutely need to get the job done, some ways to get there are longer than I would like them to be, especially with repeat actions, like assigning tasks to my team. I would like to be able to create pre set groups to assignments, rather than assigning 29 persons individually.

I am still struggling with getting all team members to use the software and respond on this platform. Breaking the habit of using just emails is difficult. I would like to provide some simple incentives for my team to respond on zenkit, rather than responding on email and letting me enter all information into zenkit.

The Kanban can be adjusted very flexibly. It is very important for me that I can adjust the size of the information displayed for each story.

It is sometimes slightly unstable. If somebody else changes the order of stories, sometime it is necessary to reload to page to see the changes.
