Better organized projects
A more complete collaboration is maintained by all the members, allowing tasks to be kept more concentrated and more simplified
- 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
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.
- 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
- 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

I actually can’t remember the product i switched from as it was a very long time ago…..The other product went bust and didnt work anymore. I tried lots of other apps and nothing was as close to the last product as Zenkit.
Why they chose it
"Because Zenkit synced with multiple members and was a great platform for communication."

Very good software management tool
Verified reviewer
It's very easy and intuitive to manage software using Zenkit since it UI is user friendly and it has a lot of features wich made this task simple
Sometimes it feels that it doesn't have a lot of third party integrations like other similar tools but it seems that it will expand it from time to time

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.
- 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
- 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

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 also

Best Software for Information Management
We couldn't live without it, the whole business runs on Zenkit.
The standard views replace any kanban board out there, the other views add a lot more
- 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

Zenkit has all the features of Trello, Wunderlist, etc and adds a lot more.

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.
- 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
- 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
Why they chose it
"Zenkit was more intuitive to learn and less expensive overall. Airtable does offer more data storage, however."

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.
- 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
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

Trello was too restricted in terms of organization (especially nested and cross-related project items)
Why they chose it
"Best customization overall."

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.
- 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
- 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
Why they chose it
"Pricing was much better on Zenkit and ZK had better project planning features."

Agile Project Management Made Easy
Suddenly I have more time to help my project expand and offer greater service to our customers.
- 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
I do not have any cons when using Zenkit, so far I have only had an excellent experience

Trello was very limiting and I needed to find a more inclusive program to assist with daily administration.
