I am the CEO of a startup and since I stared using Zenkit our structure really improved a lot. We started managing everything in a single place: Wiki, Contacts, Projects, Scrum βΒ instead of using three different tools for that. The great thing with this approach is, that everything can be interconnected and depending on one another.
I can link different tasks to certain projects, which are linked to the project manager. I can assign customer or investor contacts to cards and once they're done I can complete them with a single click on a checkbox.
With custom filters I can always select, what I want to see. I can filter by project, team member or even contacts. Super convenient and a big simplification of our processes.
Pros:
It enabled me to have everything in one place.
Cons:
It took us a while and some talks to experienced Zenkit users to really be able to unlock the whole power of the tool.
Thank you, Felix! We're so glad to hear that you've found a way to make Zenkit work perfectly for your team. We will work on onboarding and making it easier for new users to get the hang of Zenkit, so you don't face those issues in the future π
Love the redesign! Makes the interface so much better. Before it was lacking some contrast - itβs been a gray/white soup with some desaturated colors.
Pros:
Flexibility, having the right visualization for different contexts. This makes Zenkit the swiss army knife of productivity tools.
Cons:
Takes a while to see the advantages, once you learned how to leverage the different modes, itβs super easy and effective to use though.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, Sammy! We're so glad you love the redesign and that you're happy using Zenkit.

I am scrum master in a small startup and started using Zenkit for organizing our sprints. It has really powerful features, that distinguishes it from other tools, like Asana or Trello, but it took a while for my scrum members to figure out the UX.
Now, as everyone is used to it, it works perfectly for us! Highly recommended.
Thanks so much ofr your feedback Florian! We're so happy to hear that Zenkit works perfectly for you now :) We hear you regarding the onboarding - we will work on making it easier for new users to figure out how it all works.

The API gives me a lot of control over the issues and tasks
I love being able to create items on a mindmap, and switch to Kanban, then action them with a Eisenhower matrix.
Pros:
The new API
The ability to switch between different visual representations
The mindmap view
Thanks so much for your your review, Daniel! We're so glad you're getting to grips with our API. I'd love to hear more about your 'conversational integration' feedback (either here or via email to hello[at]zenkit.com)

We tried many different tools and Zenkit was the only one, that offered all the features we needed for our organization.
Pros:
It has a fantastic design and really powerful features.
Cons:
It needed some time for us to get to know and understand all the possibilities.
Thank you so much! We're so glad you guys are enjoying using Zenkit! We're working on making it easier for new users to get on board π

Have been using it for quite a while and me and my team love it. Love interconnections with other databases. Really helps with managing teachers and parents.
Pros:
Mindblowing convenience working with databases, easy to use navigation and speed of light.
Cons:
You gotta watch intro video. That is the only con). After that very smooth and intuitive interface and work.
Thanks so much for sharing your review, Bogdan! I'm so glad that you and your team love using Zenkit. We'll make sure to improve our onboarding & keep the intro video up to date π

Zenkit is really intuitive and offer a lot of functionalities. You can adapt Zenkit to your way of working unlike many others trello like tools.
Thank you for your kind words, Tahar! We really appreciate it π

We are amazed that Zenkit isn't drawing more users from the businesses we interact with. On a regular basis we encounter companies with problems we solved with Zenkit.
Pros:
Our teams to use it as our knowledge base, our CRM as well as our collective project / task management tool.
Cons:
It's versatility and power make onboarding a bit slow. Seems daunting to some.

Using Zenkit in a school and never thinkig about going back to google docs again!)
Pros:Tagging is a bliss. You can tag in one spreadsheet and see it in another!
Cons:During 1 year of use it crashed once. No data lost, but i was scared.
