Zenkit
Project management with switchable Kanban, Gantt and mind map views
What is Zenkit?
Zenkit is a project management platform from Axonic GmbH. The same data can be switched between table, Kanban, Gantt, list, mind map and calendar views, with team chat, dashboards, automation and resource planning alongside. Zenkit says all data is stored on servers in Germany, and it offers desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux in addition to the web and mobile apps.
Zenkit is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $8 per seat / month, billed annually. See every plan
Good for
- Teams that want one dataset as a board, Gantt chart, table or mind map
- Organizations that want project data kept on servers in Germany
- Linux users, since a Linux desktop app sits beside macOS and Windows
- Teams moving over from Trello, Asana or Microsoft To Do
Worth knowing
- No free plan is listed: after the 14-day trial, access is restricted, usually to data export, unless a subscription is activated.
- Plus is capped at 10 users, and the comparison table shows Gantt chart, custom fields and user roles starting on Team even though the Plus card lists a Gantt chart.
- API access, SSO (SAML) and SCIM provisioning need the Business plan.
- Prices exclude VAT, and every organization member, including owners and administrators, counts as a paid seat.
Key features
- Switchable views
- The same items can be shown as a table, Kanban board, Gantt chart, list, mind map or calendar, and a tab bar switches between a project's views.
- Gantt chart
- Projects are scheduled on a timeline with lag and lead, milestones and critical path. The plan comparison table lists advanced Gantt features from Business.
- Global Kanban and calendar
- A global Kanban board gathers tasks from every project in one place, and a global calendar does the same for events and dates.
- Custom fields, formulas and references
- Text, number, date, label and formula fields describe each item, and references link items across collections like a relational database.
- Automation
- Automated actions run when tasks or data change. Monthly runs are capped at 300 per seat on Plus and 3,000 per seat on Team and Business.
- Offline mode and desktop apps
- Zenkit can be used without a connection, including in the web version, and has apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
