Complete management and collaboration tool available

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using this platform for a long time and it has been a great find for our organization to easily eradicate the minor bugs and errors in the project. Quick and easy to set up with having all the relevant information on the go. The support team is great and professional which gives me more confidence to use it openly. Needs some changes in the functionality, but would definitely recommend this to other businesses to have in their ecosystem for better productivity and management.

Pros

  • Backlog is one of the best management and collaboration tools available in the market for better managing of resources at the workplace.
  • I have been using this platform for a very long time and it has been helping me a lot to manage the business processes, manage employees, managing leads on different projects, and coordinating with colleagues.
  • It has been helping me a lot to check the issue in the project completion.
  • It gives me real-time status on the project/gives right insights of the system.

Cons

  • The biggest drawback that I want Backlog to fix as soon as possible is that is does not provide any place to explain the problem or bug virtually.
  • There is a need for a tab or space to attach screenshot or video to easily explain the bug or problem in the project.

The user interface is very good. It is more intuitive in nature. It is easy to use and robust in operation. The dashboard is designed on modernized UI and the interface is also intuitive. I can easily navigate things on my own.

All in one tool for project management and new interns.

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as a team management tool for synchronizing our work over a platform. A team of 5-6 with interns having access to the central production with limited accesses helps us to manage and update everything real-time and up-to-date. Git support and integration make it a must-have tool for all project planners and software developers.

Pros

  • Gantt chart
  • Github support

Cons

  • Price is very high for small teams and department of short term contracts.
  • GUI can be more intuitive.

Likelihood to Recommend

Project planning, project management, and tracking. Live git integration and project monitor make it possible to develop software using Agile methodology. Also if you are on a very small budget, then one should not go for this tool. But great support.
