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.

I would love to have more functionality added but Backlog is efficient and user-friendly.

PROS: I love that I can locate tasks more quickly and that projects are partitioned. I also love that it has categories and that I can delegate tasks according to expertise. I can also have an overview of the task by design. Estimated time and actual time functionality is also a big plus for me. CONS: I just have a problem finding my weekly progress such as the number of tasks, tasks that are still in progress and completed tasks.

"Backlog is useful and easy to use, but would like to see more features included"

What do you like best about Backlog? I like here that each project is separated and I can find tasks faster. I like the ability to have categories and divide tasks by special profession or see all tasks for design for example, and also I like the estimated hours and actual hours feature. What do you dislike about Backlog? I can't see weekly my progress, like how many tasks I had which ones are done and which ones are still in progress Recommendations to others considering Backlog: Backlog ...

Easy to configure

PROS: I love the Advanced Search function and I love that the app is easy to configure too. I can quickly adjust the status and the people who are assigned to the ticket. I just recently knew about the Gantt chart and it's great. One of the many nice functions is also the Notification which helps me stay on top of any project. I can also add and delegate tasks to team members with specified instructions and the target dates to accomplish. The best of all is that all the tracked bugs and ...

A very good application to empower everybody

PROS: This application is a very strong platform that empowers everybody in an organization. It's cost-effective and aids the work of the team. It's also straightforward but comprehensive and it has everything you need to systematize your job. CONS: I can't think of any downside right now. It's been very helpful and you can choose to have a free trial first before you actually purchase it.

"It's great how all statuses are listed as comment"

What do you like best about Backlog? All the changes are stacked in comments and there is simple options to manage things. Also, the email response system. Daily updates regarding tasks is also a good thing. What do you dislike about Backlog? Not dislike but I think UX can be more modern and intuitive. Issues ordered by last update isn't very much helpful to me. There can be ordering select option in 'view options' settings. Due date tasks email should be sent aside daily update email with ...
