Planview AgilePlace vs. Redbooth

AgilePlace is a great way for teams, or individuals, to bring visibility to the work in process and in their backlog. The color coding and icon use helps to quickly analyze the type of work or status of the work. The product team is doing a good job at listening to their user's feedback and implementing improvements. Where it falls short is when reporting needs to occur.

It’s nice to be able just instantly to have a meeting. I open a session and can send off the link to anyone I need to attend. Pretty instantaneous. I can also schedule meetings in advance and send out notifications and invitations. I’m able to use the same link over and over, which is helpful too.

• Okta Integration: We love using SSO for all our SaaS apps, and as new team members join, they can be automatically joined to the appropriate LeanKit boards.
• Filtering and viewing: Can filter and refine by several fields as well as custom fields. Assigned Users, Tagged, Card Type, Date, etc
• Their analytics and reporting can be helpful for PMs, especially if they have several teams they oversee.

• Tracking hours worked is amazing. Easy to export to CSV.
• Assigning coworkers to tasks that they are responsible for.
• Color coordinating workspaces, this is how we manage our accounts. We all have different colours for our own accounts.

• The formatting of what they call "cards" could be better. They can be clunky if you have a lot of text in just one.
• Needs better support for media, attachments.
• Not the most pretty interface in my opinion, though it works.

• The dashboard takes a few minutes to get used to.

we are happy with the tool and the service and continuos improvement of the tool so there is no need yet to change to another one.

LeanKit isn't the best designed Kanban system I've seen, but overall it's pretty usable. The boards I've used are pretty complex, so it can be difficult to find things. I found that searching and filtering for specific cards was somewhat of a challenge. Dragging a card from one lane to another is kind of a fun way to get things done though.

Every time I have reached out to the AgilePlace support team I have received a timely response in addition to professional & personal feedback. Their consultants are knowledgeable and the management team is happy to jump in and help when needed.

I’ve never actually used their support - I think that in and of itself says something about the product.

Originally, we had evaluated two other tools next to Planview LeanKit: Kanbantool and Kanbanflow. The latter was a close contestant for productive use, as it was also very customizable and a joy to work with and look at. It also had lower user fees and a mobile integration. In the end, we picked Planview LeanKit because of several reasons: Aesthetics: The look was much more clean and professional. Reporting: It was obvious from the start that we could use Planview LeanKit as a tool for improvement. API: We needed to integrate the Kanban into our central systems and Planview LeanKit API was (and still is) a way to do it. Card Headers: This sounds like a simple thing, but the headers above the titles fit our work perfectly and looked perfect, which helped the decision.

Redbooth, in my opinion, blows all of these out of the water. But, its workflow was best for our company and the way we work. Not to say Basecamp or Asana are bad by any means, but the way that Redbooth works and how we think mesh really well together. I think all have great offerings but nothing seems as intuitive or extensive as Redbooth. They really push to create the best environment that is beautiful, and easy to use.
