Both Vanilla Forums and LeanKit were evaluated by a panel of reliable SaaS experts who carried out a thorough study of all key elements of every product. Their total score was calculated by means of unique SmartScore model that provides a separate partial score to each element like: main features, customer support, mobile device support, security, user satisfaction as well as market presence. We realize useful features are not the only factor essential to a company so we make an effort to pay attention to all aspects of a service prior to coming up with its final rating.
