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.

"Solid Tool"

What do you like best? It's set up with nearly everything you'd want in a tracking tool. Runs well both in web client and mobile device native app. What do you dislike? I wish you could create more priority levels. There's only 3 to start (low, medium, and high). Sometimes you want to be able to have more fine grain priority levels than 3. I'd say 5 would be a better number. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We use it mostly for bug tracking ...

"Great for Quality Assurance"

What do you like best? This software has helped me to get organized and to communicate with others about various projects I am testing. What do you dislike? I wish you could change the status when you create a new bug. Right now you have to save it as the default (open) and then go back in and edit it to change it to one of the new custom statuses. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It has helped communication and accountability. It allows ...

"Simple Interface with Endless Customization"

What do you like best? The ability to not only make issues/tasks that automatically populate a Gantt chart, but also see the same issues/tasks get updated when relevant code inside Git is integrated. What do you dislike? Not enough customization for the Git feature, such as choosing the primary branch or limiting access to it. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you are a project manager or a team leader, this is a great tool for managing daily tasks. What problems are you ...
