Backlog pros and cons

  • User-friendly interface and simplicity, making it easy for teams of all sizes to use and adopt quickly with minimal training.

  • Efficient task management capabilities including assigning, tracking, and prioritizing tasks to ensure better workflow and productivity.

  • Flexible customization options such as custom fields, templates, themes, and seamless API integrations for enhanced project management.

  • Effective tools for bug tracking, issue reporting, and collaboration within teams and with clients, streamlining communication and documentation.

  • Limited advanced functionality such as the inability to set up multi-level parent-child task relationships or track time for subtasks.

  • Reports and analytics are basic, lacking extensive customization or detailed summaries compared to other tools.

"Great issue tracking system"

What do you like best? I like the flexibility of the issue states. It helps me with representing our way of working better. Also I love the kanban view. What do you dislike? I would have prefered if the attachment viewer was inline rather than opening on a different URL. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are currently tracking all our issues, stories required for our MVP project. It makes it a breeze to store all the required information ...

"Bye Bye JIRA"

What do you like best about Backlog? Backlog provides just the task tracking and management features which I need and none of the complexity that I was struggling with in JIRA. Things work as you expect, the UI is responsive, and the product is stable. New features are being released regularly, such as the Wiki, which really add to the functionality but does not increase the complexity. What do you dislike about Backlog? There's no version of the web app that works on Mobile, although there ...

"Exactly what we were looking for"

What do you like best? Simplicity, ease of use and functionality right out of the box. What do you dislike? Could have had a little more configurability and the printing needs to be improved. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have tried so many different development/bug tracking systems and they all either were way too complex or didn't have any kind of configurability. When I finally found and tried Backlog I was so thrilled, it fit ...
