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 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

The color of issue can be changed, I can customize the characteristics of issue for each project.

Nachteile

when I filter all issue of project , it shows parents issue and sub-issue. If I click on the arrow, which is head of parent issue, Backlog shows all of sub-issue of that parent issue, which are showed before. So many issues are showed twice. It can make me confused.
I think Backlog shoud list parent issue and issue has no parent issue. About issue has parent issue, you can hide and when user click on the arrow, it can be showed.
Thank you

Vorteile

Project Management Capabilities: Backlog offers a range of project management features, including task tracking, subtasking, milestones, and Gantt chart visualization.Users appreciate these functionalities to keep their projects organized.

Nachteile

Complexity: Some users find Backlog to be too complicated, especially for those who are new to project management tools.The learning curve can be steep and may require some time to fully understand and utilize all of its features.

Vorteile

tracking is very easy and it very useful for track all the activities of the other team teamembers

Nachteile

Vorteile

I like most backlog. it's very easy to use.

Nachteile

Easy-to-use backlog.UI is very user-friendly.

Vorteile

- Tagging the user in comment section and that user is notified is great experience for me.

Nachteile

- if there is functionality related to remember password.

Vorteile

Very easy to manage task.Hassle free edit start and out both times.Group tracking was top notch .In Backlog UI is very attractive from my side.

Nachteile

In my opinion need to add more feature like screenshot images video etc.

Vorteile

Work flow. It is not only on the system but easily translated into action.

Nachteile

The report feature. I feel it is not so needed.

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

It's task oriented without feeling like a burden. Other project management tools I've used feel like glorified lists but Backlog offers a lot more.

Getting your team on board is difficult but the flow of using Backlog makes sense and came natural for us. We work 100% remotely so if it didn't work we would know right away something wasn't right.

Nachteile

For us, one of the strengths about Backlog is the integrations with Typetalk. We use both but I do with they were more tightly integrated.

For example, simply using at mentions on Backlog. Messages from Backlog issues go to Typetalk and we use @username to create an alert on Typetalk at the same time.

This might be particular to our team but it's really helpful. When I type (@) on a Backlog comment or description I want the list of usernames to show.

Vorteile

This is a great tool to organize dev, see how it goes, what needs to be done, who's in charge of what. It really helped me to make my projects live and faster than before using this great tool

Nachteile

I wish the mobile app would have been more developed to have the same features as on web version

Vorteile

I have been using backlog from the past 2+ years. It is very easy to use. It has many features like wiki, store file, gantt chart... Recently they introduced the Board which is very useful to see all the tasks in one place.

Nachteile

There is nothing i am disliking from this software

Vorteile

I did use backlog in 4 years, and It good for my company with more than 120 users, and run 30 project at the same time

Nachteile

need add more than status check (current status: open, In progress, Resolved, Closed) need add more (Review)

Vorteile

- project management based
- easy to use and create project/issue

Nachteile

- some part confusing in terms of UI
- people who was notified at first time issue created, wont be automatically notified if not mention in notify people when make comment/update

Vorteile

The user interface is simple and easy to use. I often found myself lost when I used Jira previously

Nachteile

Saving options requires a button click and does not happen immediately upon the field losing focus.

Vorteile

It's easy to manage task on Gantt Chart. I can see status, edit start time and end time,...without having to refresh the page.

Nachteile

When i review pull request on Backlog, i can't see the number of deleted line, added line and total changed line. Github has this feature.

Vorteile

The software works well. It makes it easy to track what everyone in the group is accomplishing each day.

Nachteile

When we send emails to Backlog, embedded pictures are lost. We work around it but it would be better if it just worked. Additional reporting would be nice to have.

Vorteile

I can easily found out my issues raised by tester.

Nachteile

Nothing found so far. If possible, provide web push notifications.

Vorteile

Solid Project Management tool for software development teams. Interface is intuitive and training is minimal. Good reporting and project communication capabilities.

Nachteile

Sometimes the more advanced features you are looking for are only available in the higher cost subscriptions.

Vorteile

1. Easy to use, not an complicated one.
2. Quick alerts, easy to track all posted issues
3. I'll recommend more

Nachteile

I'm fully satisfied and I didn't see any cons over here

Vorteile

issue type and tags. Easy to create new issue/task

Nachteile

Need to concentrate on User Interface so that user can easily access the app

Vorteile

Easy to use, not complicated, user friendly

Nachteile

Nothing is least, everything is good, user friendly

Vorteile

I love how I can schedule and track appointments. Before using this products I was left to on my own devices to schedule and often times we would miss appointments. Have not missed one since.

Nachteile

I do wish they had an analytical reporting feature. It would be nice to have a one-stop tool to manage all sides of the business.
