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.

"Intuitive, fast and effective tool for both development and delivery "

What do you like best about Backlog? Its crystal clear user interface, speed and all necessary functions together. No useless functions. Well designed. Easy to adopt. Nice look & feel. What do you dislike about Backlog? Some notifications / labels sometimes appear with Japan characters (but we use English). The user administration is confusing (spaces vs. backlog) - there should be one way product per product. No possibility to customize issue statuses (e.g. add new status Suspended, ...

"Backlog makes project management easier than ever!"

What do you like best about Backlog? The user interface is clean, uncluttered and easy to understand. Backlog allows you to quickly develop a project plan structure. Once in place it quickly becomes the go-to point for the project, allowing the user to create a central information repository while also ensuring that individual tasks can be communicated to the correct team members. What do you dislike about Backlog? The Wiki functionality is weak and not very relevant. It may be better to ...

"A really nice app for working with a team of 5/6 people"

What do you like best about Backlog? The issue system is really nicely done. This is really easy to communicate around our project thanks to backlog. We use that for all our tasks or bug now. What do you dislike about Backlog? I would like to put more different kind of priority in the issue. High, normal and low are not enough sometimes. Mainly to make a difference between some high priority. Recommendations to others considering Backlog: Just to use it :) What problems is Backlog solving ...

"Great tool to coordinate projects and communicate internally"

What do you like best about Backlog? I like that Backlog is customizable and also tracks any all changes or notes made to a task. What do you dislike about Backlog? I dont like that I am not able to delete a task after its created. Sometimes things are done in error and there is no way to change that without simply Closing it. What problems is Backlog solving and how is that benefiting you? Communication is always an uphill battle at any organization no matter the size. Backlog gives us the ...
