I love how easy it is to input all of your information and make notes on images. This makes creating tech packs super easy, and exporting everything into a tech pack format is super streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the features in editing the photos can be a little bit clunky--like having to first select the delete feature and then click on the item. Also when I make construction detail call outs if I click toward the bottom of the image I can't click submit because it's not in the window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the illustrator extension and item views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I struggle with the linesheet feature. The layout does not work for my team's needs. I find that there is a lot of extra data and I don't really like the framing on color varient view. Also sometimes the linesheets won't even load because we have such a big collection. Also I have this issue with the illustrator extension where sometimes the box will just be empty and the only way I can reset it and get it to work again is by undownloading the app and redownloading it which can be pretty annoying. It happens kind of randomly when it stops working so I haven't been able to figure out the cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to create very detailed product tech packs in a consistent manner & the ability to attach large reference files/prints/images as downloadable. I also like the ability to customize the taxonomy for specific product types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The inability to arrange or view tech packs within shared folders in numerical or alphabetical order. Would prefer a default arrangement (numerically by style number or alphabetically by style name) or a filter allowing the recipient to toggle between either option.

I like how user-friendly it is. Pretty much self-explanatory, especially after attending the free training that Backbone provides. I have not really used other PLM systems but it is much better than using excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are lots of glitchies. Backbone customer service is quick to fix when there is a problem, but the same problem reoccurs and sometimes we do not even catch the mistake until its too late or our factory comes back and says something went wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that the information on styles like color, article number, trims, etc can all be found in one website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It feels archaic in a sense. Sometimes it doesn't load, photos don't show up, and it doesn't seem like the information is stored in the most direct/beneficial way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the organization and ease of populating the POM. It's also great for organizing fit comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it was easier to combine 2 size groups (i.e. Standard and Plus sizes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Backbone keeps all production organized in just one place! It`s easy to use and easy to share with our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much, some little things like naming the AI files (once you update a file the file name does not update) and the sizing of the linesheets images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The spec sheet feature that allows you to reflect any changes onto the graded spec. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are times when a POM change is not reflected, or changes without me knowing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How easy it is to navigate through the site. Everything is very simplified and clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of options within a component. You are limited to a number of variants and it complicates things further Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
