Phabricator is really easy to navigate around to find code and compare with historical changes that have been made. The website layout is also simple and effective to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

Phabricator is really hard to customize to suit the business as its a very inflexible. Furthermore making changes to commits is not available via the front end gui. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefits of phabricator for us is that we can keep track of all the changes the have been made to different branches. Using those changes to review the code of other developers and raise any concerns. Further more phabricator paired with jira further helps us take in account changes made to specific tickets.

What do you like best about Phabricator?

Fully integrated set of tools for development: task tracker, pre- and post-commit code review, repository management, CI integration, chat, scheduling tools, wiki, project management tools, paste, graphics review tools, and many other helpful features. While all the features may look overwhelming at first, the Dashboard tool and extensive setting controls allow you to select, integrate, and display only those features you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

The file management and time tracking tools could be improved. Feature requests are prioritized only for paying clients; self-hosted clients don't have the same influence over the project. (This makes economic and project-management sense for Phacility, but it can be occasionally frustrating for self-hosted users.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Phabricator accounts for 98% of our development workflow, and allows us to collaborate with one another and with open source contributors very efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phabricator?

It looks shiny ... but thats it. Hardly anything good to say about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

It just breaks any sane GIT workflow. ARC insist on manipulating your commit messages, squashes commits, is unable to submit a series of commits ...

Any sane review tool should be able to handle a patch series. Phabricator is just not up to the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It claims to be a good review tool - it is not, when you are using GIT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phabricator?

The best thing about phabricator is that the developers don't take themselves too seriously. For evidence of this, just have a look at https://twitter.com/phabricator

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

I am a little bit sad that they have implemented serious business mode. That is to say they have mostly eliminated the quirky humor which had pervaded the Phabricator website and user documentation in years past, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Phabricator is the primary tool that is used for collaboration within the technology department at the Wikimedia Foundation and the broader MediaWiki developer community.

What do you like best about Phabricator?

I'm the biggest fan of the easy installation on the self-hosted version. There is simply no hassle. The second best is the code review part and the task management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

I don't like that the version upgrades are quite hard. Even when you follow the weekly update schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phabricator:

Really good on code reviews (also a clean UI, compared to e.g. Github), easy for project management and a good and free/open-source all-in-one solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes you avoid pushing git branches to your origin (server) so there is less clutter on your production-ready code/repository. Also the code reviews forces your team to improve on code quality and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phabricator?

You can create a wiki to create pages to create help manuals and documentation for team mates.

You can have code reviews linked into projects.

You can see file and text comparisons between git commits.

Creating bug fixes or feature requests are simple and can be prioritized and assigned.

New comments or changes will send email alerts so all team members can see the progress.

Comments can be formatted to look neat and clean, including bullet points and tables Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

The search capability could be improved, and there isn't a way to prioritize by milestone dates so it is difficult to know which high priority project needs to be completed first.

It is difficult to modify the home page to exactly how you want it to be displayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phabricator:

The UI is simply and clean. You can see all of your tasks quickly from the home page, while allowing you to see more details or by creating filters to help you divide and conquer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly used for bug fixes, feature requests, or to bounce around ideas. This has allowed us to reduce meetings, and we can all show up to meetings prepared because everyone is informed already of the changes. It has become much easier to code review and compare different iterations of changes overtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Phabricator?

One of the awesome softwares out there in the market for code management. In a way cheaper alternative to the popular Microsoft TFS. Phabricator is loaded with lots of features like version controlling, in built reviewing, sprint management.

The software is very useful for people who are working in Agile methodology. It helps maintaining the sprints/increments in the agile methodology development. One can tag people in the reviews which again is a beautiful feature for people to get notified.

One of the biggest plus points of Phabricator compared to other softwares of its level is, it's a open source! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phabricator?

Nothing as such to dislike in Phabricator. When switching from any other software, the interface might look little clumsy. But again that is because of the loads of awesome features bundled into this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Phabricator:

Phabricator is highly recommended for anyone looking for a complete bundle of a collaborative software. One can lookout for code versioning, review management, bug tracking, many more features fit into this free (self hosted) software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using it for code management for one of the projects in our organization. The sprint and tasks management is very efficiently done. The Bug tracking is also very nicely done using Phabricator.

We use GIT, TFS and other collaboration softwares as well. But compared to other softwares I felt this one to be one of the finest softwares considering its pricing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
