Pros & Cons
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.

- There is no permanent free plan, only a 15-day trial.
Mural
Pros
- Facilitation features and LUMA frameworks make it strong for running structured workshops.
- Free visitors can view or edit individual murals, so external participants do not need a paid seat.
- Enterprise security includes SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, SCIM, audit logs, data residency and BYOK.
- Broad integrations with Teams, Zoom, Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana and Confluence.
- Reviewers on G2 and Capterra rate it highly for ease of use, with about 4.5 to 4.6 stars.
Cons
- It is not a project or task manager, so there are no Gantt charts, no time tracking and no task assignment.
- Reviewers complain that menus and functions move around often between releases.
- The Free plan caps editable murals at three.
- The Business plan is annual-only, and SSO is not available on cheaper tiers.
- Large boards with many collaborators can feel cluttered.
