Backlog Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Intuitive software that you can use without instruction. Upon sign-on immediately see what has recently happened and easy to click on items needing your attention. Great way to organize and collaborate on issues with a diverse team in different locations.

Nachteile

Not much I didn't like. Perhaps the ability to add a custom field or a more fine-grained priority field (Low, Medium, High) so as to make sure people are looking next at the most pressing issue.

Vorteile

Bug identification and creation have never been simpler. Its unique way to describe and categorize the issue at hand is well sorted and makes for a clean and understandable user experience.

Nachteile

There might be issues that are created and assigned by parts and during bug/defect identification and creation, assigning these bugs should have an option to assign multiple members instead of single-member.

Warum Backlog gewählt wurde

It was very difficult to track and monitor, the interface was confusing.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Backlog

Bang for the buck!

Vorteile

Easy to use, the UI is attractive too as i can have different Theme for different Project

Nachteile

Print of Project List into Excel, all the Description of task are not included

Vorteile

It was very easy to use tool. Didn't face any issue at all.

Nachteile

On adding a comment on the Backlog ticket even the user changing the ticket should get an email. Not a big issue though.

Vorteile

Easy to pick up and use at a glance. Features are readily available in all UIs and their functions act predictably. I don't think I've ever felt the need to consult documentation, it just works as you expect.

Nachteile

Probably part of what makes Backlog so robust is that is very specifically designed for a certain type of workflow and is not always as flexible as I'd like. For example, in Kanban mode (at least from what I can tell) there is no way to add or customize columns for different types of work (advertising copy, for example, has a much different lifecycle than software issue tracking). Likewise, for issue priorities there is only low/med/high and no room to customize for different environments or possibilities.

Vorteile

user friendly UI and good functionality. i am happy with this product for project management.

Nachteile

service is good but more focused on this field so this application will get an excellent state.

Vorteile

workflow configuration and project planning/scheduling

Nachteile

an improvement on some of the software feathers which are time consuming

Vorteile

Faster to use in my tasks and integrate all my work

Nachteile

Nothing really just the best option to use

Vorteile

I am it like because It's very profitable.

Nachteile

Nothing to say, just beautiful, i am interested.

Vorteile

Task and project management and bug sloves

Nachteile

Tracking and solving and problem solving

Vorteile

Easy to setup and use including graphic differentiation and access rights for individual projects (customer logo and colors).
No training required for users in our company who adopted this tool very fast.
In addition, GantChart is really usable with several options for grouping, automatic issue creation from email is also useful to support our clients and track how our internal specialists perform. Internal wiki is also used in our company to document not only the knowledges and technical information to be shared with others in the team, but also the meeting minutes related to our projects - everything stored and available in one place.
The mobile application also works as expected.

Nachteile

It is not possible to create links/relations in GantChart helping to display dependencies and reschedule the project tasks when something happen - now all issues have to be moved manually.
Navigation in wiki would be enhanced little bit.

Vorteile

Backlog is the most compact & advanced Project Management Application! No gibberish and very clean UI/UX experience.

Nachteile

It's knowledgebase/FAQ features could be a little bit improved for easy navigation/usage.

Vorteile

1. We can attach project file into the software.
2. We can track by the project category.

Nachteile

The interface not so attractive, that's why Japanese people mostly like this software.

Vorteile

Can easily separate tasks through projects and milestones. I especially love the Gantt Chart and how each it is to use. Overall just great to see overall picture of how the project is doing and who is doing what.

Nachteile

I find it frustrating to changing Status only after creating the task. I wish I could change when I create a task if it was already Closed, Resolves or In Progress instead of always clicking each task and changing it manually. Feel very time consuming.

Vorteile

It has given a great platform to collaborate for work.
We manage many of our projects on backlog which makes us more efficient and we can focus on more work rather than hitch-ups due to processes and management.
Great tool.

Nachteile

Yes, if you talk about cons I do feel there is need for internal documents creation like Excel ppt etc.
If I want to make some data or have issue which requires tabular form, I don't have much options than just to create an excel and attach it's links.

Vorteile

It works well for small projects; it covers (probably) all features you may want to use and it is free for a team like my own.

Nachteile

No Cons, honestly. For this price it is impossible to find any ;)

Vorteile

I liked the way of bugs maintenance and having simple ui to understand by the non technical persons as well.

Nachteile

mail structure. In mail try to add bug status in front. (closed or added). In mobile push notifications we are unable to differentiate whether it is added or closed.

Vorteile

Unlike the Github, GitLab ..., Backlog allows me to have an overview when the project has multiple modules, each module needs a separate git repos.

Nachteile

I have trouble verifying who committed the code when viewed on the git tool of the Backlog

Vorteile

I like the way Backlog helps us keep track of bugs and issues and which member of our team is assigned to them. Keeping track of bugs and issues that our clients raise is one of the areas that we struggle the most with, and Backlog helps us address this potential shortcoming.

Nachteile

Some parts of the interface can be a little counter-intuitive to navigate. I think the next iteration of the Backlog interface could go a long way to make the tool easier to use, smoother, and even more useful.

Vorteile

My team is using this product to log issues about a new website we are running live. We are able to each submit issues, whether it's an urgent item that has to be fixed or just a suggestion on something we would like to see changed. It keeps us from double logging our issues because we can see all of the issues daily and our IT person can log and communicate the status on each issue. It seems to be helping us stay organized on what items are priorities.

Nachteile

I don't like that you have to click on the issue to see the latest comments on it. I wish it would display the latest comment like a preview of an email will.

Vorteile

Reassignment of "assignee" is easy and beneficial for instances where there's a lot of back and forth between resources. And the attachment of images as well. You can insert the image at the position (in the message) where you want it.

Nachteile

none at the moment. I actually haven't explored the other functionalities (aside from adding an issue/task) so I cannot name anything that I dislike or the least.

Vorteile

I like that is easy to use but some features have to be more accurate.

Nachteile

It is not always easy to understand where you are. There are a lot of functionalities but not always are clear

Vorteile

Easy to use and allows our team to do what we need to without getting in the way.

Nachteile

A few additional QoL additions onto the features that are already here would be great (such as multiple assignees).

Vorteile

Ease to Use, Team Member were able to use it on their own without any support, Quick response for support from backlog team.

Nachteile

Nothing as such , would suggest that if you could simplify use of filters.

Vorteile

Prioritization, Task Scheduling, IT project management, The platform simple is to use and was easily integrated to our system

Nachteile

Honestly I found the system to be user friendly and we haven’t found disadvantages yet but if we find any problems will let you know
