Pros & Cons
GGoogle Sheets
Pros
- Real-time co-editing, comments and version history make it easy for a team to share one tracker.
- Prebuilt project management and event-planning templates mean teams do not have to build a tracker from scratch.
- There is no extra cost for organisations that already pay for Google Workspace seats.
- Connected Sheets can analyse BigQuery or Looker data with billions of rows directly in a spreadsheet.
- On higher Workspace tiers, Gemini can create trackers and write formulas from plain-language prompts.
Cons
- It has no native Gantt charts, task dependencies or time tracking for real project scheduling.
- Missed deadlines do not trigger automatic alerts, so team members have to be notified by hand.
- Large or complex shared sheets slow down and are easy to break when several people edit at once.
- Timeline view is limited to certain paid Workspace editions.
- Dashboards and reporting have to be built by hand or added with add-ons.
Kantree
Pros
- Card-based model with custom fields and formulas lets teams build their own workflows, and reviewers praise its flexibility.
- Six views, including spreadsheet, kanban, matrix, timeline and calendar, are included even on the entry plan.
- Strong data sovereignty: ISO 27001 certified, EU hosting, with on-premise and SecNumCloud options.
- Project guests are not billed as users, which keeps client collaboration cheap.
- A low entry price of 8 EUR per user per month, which one reviewer called better value than Jira and ClickUp.
Cons
- Few native integrations. Documented options are mainly iCal, email, an API and imports.
- Reviewers report there is no native resource management.
- Gantt charts and portfolios require the 15 EUR Business plan.
- Reporting is described as relatively simple for in-depth analysis.
