    It's great for tracking bugs on your app. I don't think I can do anything else besides that...

    Linear
    If you are a product based company, Linear is the most powerful fine-tuned platform. Their methodology really works well. It's fast, got nice UI/UX, feels modern, ability to manage projects, love how they show comments as a thread, the integrations like Figma works really well But if you are a software service company and have multiple client projects, it is hard to manage that in Linear plus you would have to pay for guests if you are inviting client stakeholders to overlook progress.

    Pros
    SmartBear
    • The UI/UX is well designed. I have never been confused by any buttons/filters/settings, and everything is laid out in a neat and organized fashion.
    • Setup was super easy. I didn't have to do anything but read the documentation, which was well written.
    • The information captured by errors has everything I would need to debug an issue.

    Cons
    SmartBear
    • For really long bugs, it'd be nice if you hovered over the row and it expanded the text so you didn't have to click on the actual bug to view everything.
    • It would be nice if there was a filter for grouping bugs instead of searching by their name.
    • Honestly nothing else, I love 99% of Bugsnag.

    Linear
    • Linear is missing documentation features like Jira Confluence. We can use Notion but it would have been great if Linear offered more comprehensive solution
    • Eventhough we can manage releases with projects, it is hard to manage them when there are multiple projects being released at the same time. The initiatives feature kind of handles this but if we can assign tasks to a release that would be awesome
    • Being able to invite guests without costing extra money. Platforms like Clickup allow you to invite a limited no of guests without costing extra money.
    • Linear is not good if you are software services company and want to manage multiple client projects. Linear is built for product teams.

    Even though platforms like ClickUp are pretty flexible, Linear is fast, simple, has a lot of keyboard shortcuts, better UI/UX, modern product development concepts built into it, listens to user feedback
