Backlog pros and cons

  • User-friendly interface and simplicity, making it easy for teams of all sizes to use and adopt quickly with minimal training.

  • Efficient task management capabilities including assigning, tracking, and prioritizing tasks to ensure better workflow and productivity.

  • Flexible customization options such as custom fields, templates, themes, and seamless API integrations for enhanced project management.

  • Effective tools for bug tracking, issue reporting, and collaboration within teams and with clients, streamlining communication and documentation.

  • Limited advanced functionality such as the inability to set up multi-level parent-child task relationships or track time for subtasks.

  • Reports and analytics are basic, lacking extensive customization or detailed summaries compared to other tools.

Free of cost but completely working

PROS: Besides that it has a complete working management tool for not-so-big projects and the capability that you can still have for several independent projects, I truly admire that it is complimentary for those small-scale organizations. That is really its edge over other apps. CONS: I don't really have much to complain about it especially with how cheap it is.

Perfect for monitoring issues

PROS: We really love the API and issue creation through email. Our support requests are integrated into our internal web applications to enable issues be created in it directly. It makes it more convenient for our end users to log the problems. CONS: For future updates, we don't like to have to add users to the notification list every time there's an issue or a change. We would like to see that upon adding the users to the notification list, they must be automatically added to it until the ...

Reasonably priced for an exceptional software.

PROS: Price was really a decisive factor in our decision of using Backlog being a small company. There are many more practical options, but these cost five to ten times more expensive. Backlog's easiness has great benefits, such as personnel who aren't experienced with systems that manage products can quickly adapt as it does not demand professionally trained people and the program also does not have many selections. It is very user-friendly. Nulab continues to add even more functionality ...

"After months using free version for 1 project we successfully moved to paid version for all projects"

What do you like best about Backlog? 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 ...

Excellent tool for working together

PROS: The user interface is very user-friendly and the issues are tracked efficiently. It has strong management of files. Email alerts are also useful and simple. The customization of icon is a very cool addition. CONS: It is not as convenient to work with the mobile app as the web version. The web version is very much developed. Also, it is difficult to switch between various tasks at times. You can not chat in real-time. Would like to see more mark-down formatting solutions
