We use this software extensively at my place of employment and have done so for a few years. In fact, apart from ad-hoc spreadsheets with pretty coloured rows to make pseudo Gantt charts and the software developers using Gitlab issues, this is the only project/task management tool we use.
In short, it's quite good. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but generally it's a solid piece of software which doesn't crash very often at all. The default design leaves a lot to be desired, but that can be easily fixed with CSS tweaks. Also, the performance can be very, very poor if there are a lot of cards open at once. The best process is to make sure any completed task is not just moved to a "Finished" column, but is actually Closed, so it no longer shows on the board. The Gantt chart (via a plugin, which used to be part of the core software) is a bit clunky. Exporting reports for management is also poor. Only a raw CSV export is available. There's also no actively developed mobile client. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with it for work projects, but don't use it for my personal stuff.

- phillc73 6y agoYes. I could have listed all the good points, but didn't apart from stability. The negatives are only such if they're important to you. If you don't have more than 50 cards visible, no problem. If you don't need a good Gantt chart, no problem. If you don't need fancy report exporting, no problem. If you don't need a mobile client, no problem. If you can write a little CSS to make it look prettier, no problem. If you want a nice, solid standalone kanban tool with a bunch of other nice features, this could be your best solution. I've tried many of these - Wekan, Restya etc and so far, as a standalone board, Kanboard fits my requirements best.
