Kanban Tool vs. Socialcast (discontinued)

Most users looking at Kanban Tool will ultimately have a process that they work through. This is a great tool and very flexible for any business. Take your time to really review your process and the stages of the process. Kanban Tool will make it clear visually so you can see bottlenecks and areas to improve. I think this tool can be adapted to any company or process.

Socialcast has been a great tool for FactSet. I would recommend it to any firm looking for an easy-to-use tool to centralize communication and collaborate on a global scale.

• It provides a good basic overview of where tasks are on a timeline (particularly helpful for a pull-based approach).
• It provides a good collaborative space to have multiple folks commenting on multiple tasks.
• It does a good job of managing very basic visual elements of an agile development cycle.

Incentivized

• Had an easy to use interface.
• The ability to opt in and out of various groups is great.
• It works great for large companies with lots of people.

Incentivized

• Kanban does not show the task or story clearly. You have to open the project separately to view the details of the project.
• Kanban gives a higher level project management view but it lacks customization and personal settings features.
• I would like to see Kanban provide mobile access to their tool, data, and board. This would be very useful for all companies and provide an increase in efficiency and productivity.

Incentivized

• Mobile App does not provide enough functionality to be useful, but improvements have been made.
• More workflow tools
• More common business process apps

We are more likely than not to renew our use of Kanban. Even with its limits, it still is a good product that fulfills our needs.

Beyond the value FactSet derives from using the platform, Socialcast (the firm) has been a good partner to FactSet. We've experienced very little downtime with the service and they have been responsive and fair with enhancement requests and questions

The integration with Teams is well suited. This works wonderful for my
company. Our team can easily prioritize tasks based on their importance.
It help our team identify and reduce inefficiencies in workflow. With
great visibility in data our team can make informed decisions. Ensuring
clear accountability and responsibility of team members

The UX is its best feature

This is the best tool I had a chance to work with- since I started to use it I saved a lot of time and I made my work go smoothly.

Excellent support; of course not perfect. :-)

Not applicable, as it is a SaaS platform with minimal implementation

Kanban is superior to Scrum and AGILE because it can visually organize all your projects and data into one board. Kanban integrates with JIRA which digs deeper into the project data when it is needed. By integrating Kanban with JIRA, you don't need any other tool for project management that is effective for both the business and the development teams. Kanban is recommended for any user groups who wish to increase their efficiency to deliver products, transparency for all users and on-time productivity.

CA Flowdock, Igloo and SocialCast are similar tools that deliver essential features to build an internal social network.

SocialCast is reliable and supported by VmWare. This can make people feel "safer".

SocialCast has also a clean interface where you can find options and features quickly. The interface is friendly and fast and is not annoying like the CA Flowdock interface (which opens a new tab/window in almost every place you click).

Incentivized

• Better communication and organization of ongoing projects.
• We are a very small team, with many areas to work on. Having everything in one system gives us a lot of visibility.
• Greatly reduced costs from using other tools that were much more expensive.

• Definitely more organized project management and team collaboration.
• Efficiency in carrying out tasks.
• Creates a spirit of collaboration and friendliness among colleagues.
