Kaiten

I started working remotely for a company. In our team, we use Kaiten for collaboration (80% of the employees work outside the office). From day one, I easily integrated into the work processes. The platform's interface is extremely intuitive and user-friendly. I had previously used similar tools, so I didn't notice much of a difference. I have access to all my tasks and their deadlines (notifications help me not to miss deadlines), I can quickly ask questions to colleagues, work with documents, and so on. Overall, I am seamlessly engaged in the work. The platform functions quickly, without freezes or crashes. In my opinion, it is on par with its counterparts.

Kaiten offers a convenient space for team collaboration. You can store all information in one place, track project progress, communicate with colleagues, analyze team activities, and much more. Everything needed for organizing work according to Scrum and Kanban methodologies is present. The interface is not overloaded; it is as simple and intuitive as possible. If necessary, you can set up integrations with other services, such as CRM and Telegram. As for the drawbacks, there are few. For example, tags for all spaces are shared, and some columns cannot be hidden, and so on. These are not critical flaws, but rather minor inconveniences. The service has decent functionality even on the free plan (it works well not only as a personal task tracker but also as a full-fledged workspace for teams), not to mention the paid versions.

We switched to Kaiten after Trello left Russia. The process of transferring tasks went quickly and smoothly thanks to automation. In the first few days, we had to get used to the new platform due to some minor functional and visual differences. However, now we are actively working in Kaiten without any difficulties. In our work, we use: - A chat for convenient discussion of tasks within the platform. - Task management in various formats. For example, we can work with timelines, build dependencies, visualize the process on a Kanban board, or view tasks in a calendar, etc. - Employee time tracking, which allows us to see workload and time spent on tasks. We can generate reports on team performance from different perspectives. - Team collaboration with documents. Everything is organized in folders with set access levels, documents can be edited and changes tracked. - Notifications about important events so that nothing is missed. We use the online version on computers, and there is a mobile app available for smartphones. We haven't identified any drawbacks of the platform. Sometimes pages load slowly, but this is likely related to the internet rather than the service itself.

Like many others, I faced difficulties when transitioning from another service that left Russia. At that time, many were looking for domestic alternatives and switching to them. During this period, Kaiten struggled with the increased load (the servers apparently couldn't handle the influx of users) and worked very slowly, which negatively affected the user experience. Nevertheless, it is truly a powerful and convenient tool. I work in SMM and use this service to gather all the necessary information in one place, create content plans, schedule posts in the calendar, discuss work matters directly in the cards, and so on. Currently, the platform functions stably, doesn't lag, and doesn't throw errors. Perhaps the designers should consider updating the appearance, as the interface looks somewhat outdated.

An interesting service from Russia. Overall, it is almost on par with platforms like Trello, Notion, Jira, and other similar tools. Moreover, in terms of convenience and native functionality, it even surpasses them (by the way, there is an automatic task transfer from all these services, so you can check it for yourself). It features a unified workspace, boards, columns, visual signals, access level distribution, auto-reports, and many other functions. Despite its rich functionality, there are no difficulties as everything is intuitively clear. You can also integrate GitHub, calendars, messengers, and other services (integrations through Zapier or API are possible, but this will require some independent work). Another plus is the availability of a free plan. On it, some functionality is limited, and the limits on the number of users, spaces, boards, custom fields, etc., are reduced. But for personal use, it is quite suitable. If you need Scrum and Kanban, you will have to get a paid subscription. Overall, the prices are reasonable.
