Assembla pros and cons

  • Offers seamless integration of project management, code management, and ticket tracking, streamlining workflows and enabling centralized collaboration.

  • Highly intuitive and user-friendly, allowing both technical and non-technical users to adapt quickly with minimal learning curves.

  • Strengthens team communication and collaboration through features like ticketing, mentions in comments, and real-time updates.

  • Powerful version control tools such as SVN and Git integration, providing secure and efficient code repositories.

  • The user interface could benefit from modernization, with some sections appearing outdated or cluttered, making navigation less fluid.

  • Advanced customization and flexibility (e.g., dropdowns, filters, and time tracking) are somewhat limited in some areas.

Great project management tool but could be improved

What do you like best? It is a great project management tool which offers an exhaustive set of features. It is easy to understand and use and helps in client management, e.g. the client invitation system where the team members can review the tickets. What do you dislike? There are places where the software lacks in customizability. I couldn't customize the drop down menu for tickets, and similarly Assembla also has a fixed report system which is not much customizable.

Bug tracking software that's easy to use

What do you like best? I'm not a developer so I don't use some of the more advanced features but what I like about Assembla is the easy to use interface, an integrated Wiki and and their Cardwall functionality that lets you keep track of bugs more easily for project management. What do you dislike? We use both JIRA and Assembla and some key features missing in Assembla is the ability to integrate with HipChat so that you can reference discussions in tickets. Also missing are release ...

Assembla

What do you like best? Built in burn downs & email notifications. What do you dislike? Wasn't really sure if it would scale up well. Recommendations to others considering the product If you're looking for an alternative to JIRA or Hansoft, I'd highly recommend Assembla for the instantaneous email notifications and build in burn down charts. It's incredibly easy to make filters for your team and user friendly. It didn't take me nearly as long to get on-boarded with Assembla as it has ...

Great for large projects, harder to manage for smaller teams.

What do you like best? Assembla is a very, very robust project management software, replete with a number of features that reward those with a diligent work ethic. This is especially true for SCRUM-based projects or organizations. If you are working on a large-scale or long term project, it would be hard to go wrong with Assembla given its vast feature set. What do you dislike? Assembla's UI can be a bit clunky and it is over-reliant on email notifications. There is a happy medium ...

Assembla, interesting but could use some work

What do you like best? The cardwall and milestones are easier to immediately set up than other tools. I like being able to invite clients into our team groups for reviewing tickets. And having it SAAS, I can be anywhere to login and work. What do you dislike? The lack of cross project tools is painful. I am having to work with a friend to develop our own tools interacting with your APIs to determine hour allocation for projects, developers, qa, across all projects with a usage of hours ...

Some issues but overall works for the most part

What do you like best? Assembla is very simple and easy to use. The interface is laid out in a clear way and not very cluttered. What do you dislike? When posting a bug with a file attached, there is a lot of lag and no indication that the bug is posting or the page is loading. I find myself clicking the button to submit the bug multiple times because I am unsure if the request went through. Also, I don't feel like it is as easy to search for old bugs on Assembla as it is on some ...

Great product in the Beginning...

What do you like best? The ticketing feature was awesome. I liked the way it worked and looked. What do you dislike? Share code and content in Assembla was horrible. Even though I don't "really" like Github, I have a paid Github account. Everyone uses Github and it is cheap ($7/mo, while Assembla was three times as much and rising. Recommendations to others considering the product Hire me to build better training. Make the product move visual. Find a way to make it better (yet ...

Great tool for Agile projects

What do you like best? Assembla really gives me the flexibility to manage and Agile project and adapt to change quickly. I also am fond of the ability to create custom filtered views so I can see the project in a way that best suits my needs. I also like the reporting that comes along with it which allows me to easily share project status with a team members and stake holders alike. What do you dislike? I'd like to see a point assignment game feature added so that all my agile needs ...
