"Manage projects stress free with Bacjlog"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

I like that backlog makes my task handling very easy and i can assign work track status and see progress of everything. The board view and comment section save time and reduce confusion in team. It helps me to keep everything in organised way and manage project without stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

It has downtime many times but its manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Backlog solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am project manager and backlog is now my daily use tool. Before backlog I was handling task through microsoft excel. Every day I was asking what is done what is pending and who is working on what that was total confusion and waste time

After using backlog everything is clear and organised I can make task assign to team set deadline and write what needs to be done that helps team finish work easily. Best thing is status of task. I can open backlog and see what is in progress what is completed and what is still waiting. Now I do not need to ask same question again and again with team. All discussion are inside each task so no need to call anyone. I also like board view because I can move task from todo to doing to done that feels very amazing.

What problems is Backlog solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using this backlog tool for bug tracking and my experience with backlog is very good. I use this especially for bug tracking but there are many other features in backlog. I use this to report and track and resolve bugs in our projects. While creating a bug report you can add a title, description and assign it to the team member even you can set priority of the bugs and add attachments like screenshots of the bugs. By attaching screenshot developer easily understand and solve the problem faster.

It helps us to keep track of bugs which are still pending and which ones are already fixed. Its email notifications and comments feature is also very good you can comment on bugs for easily understanding. Whenever a bug is updated or someone comment on any bug user will be notified. Its very helpful for evryone doesnt matter its developer or tester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Backlog?

Our It team was bale to implement the software within about 2 weeks to add branding and project category customizations. They mentioned integration with Git was a significant plus for ourdevelopment teams. Most of our tech and content teams use it on a daily basis.

The IT team mentioned customer support could be a little slow in coming back after raising a query. The star-rating system for comments is not really valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
