Zenhub Pros and Cons

One of the features that I found extremely useful is the built-in kanban board. It makes it easy for me to visualize the progress of my project and quickly identify any bottlenecks or roadblocks. The robust set of collaboration tools like the ability to assign issues to team members, add comments and labels, and track progress in real-time, made it very easy for me to communicate and work with my team effectively.

I don't see any problem using Zenhub. It works seemlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the design of the ticketing channel for bug tickets to move through to completiong. I also enjoy the fact that the Hubspot pipeline looks very similar to that in Zenhub. it has helped our team streamline the process for resolving bug/development tickets.

I do NOT like the way that ZH has it's notifications. The only way for me to receive an update on the completion or comment on a ticket, is by turning on my email notifications. This can become very overwhelming, which I'm not sure is the best way. I may not be the best trained on Zenhub, so this could also be the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that zenhub is easy to learn and use for Product Owners, Project Mangers, QA, and Dev. It also makes sprint planning easy with the poker add on and being able to get multiple sprints going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it doesn't do a good integration with jira or confluence. Its also hard to customize based on projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and the ability to visualize work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

would be nice to have multimedia support (adding images, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zenhub allows for great integration and clear management of all tickets and work. It is complementary to Github and supports other products we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can, at times, be difficult to navigate. There are some confusing UI elements that make the learning curve steeper than it needs to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate, tiles and dashboards are helpful and intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance- we integrate with Salesforce for tickets and loading time can be between 30 seconds at minimum to 3 minutes max Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ZenHub is simple to use, overlays directly on top of GitHub (which you need anyway for source control), and has the basic features you need to manage and track work over sprints. I most enjoy the ease of use, but it has also turned into my entry portal when searching for information in GitHub: I'll occasionally go into the PRs or Issues tabs, but to get a bird's eye view that presents information that's most likely to be relevant to you, it's the best place to look.

If you've been facing the issue that you're spending too much time organizing things and planning out in your agile process instead of using your time to develop, the lightweight solution is good. But, if you want advanced tooling and a deeper integration for tracking your work, it might not be a great solution.

Beyond that, there are some minor bugs where cards will occasionally jump to the wrong milestone or be impossible to move where you want them. It's often due to something that indicates a problem in how you're thinking about the process, but it can be frustrating to fight against it at times. These bugs are minor and something I face about once a month with monthly use.

Finally, it can be difficult to jam all the information into the ZenHub board all at once. I work across many, many repos as a Full Stack engineer, and while it's clear how to filter down results by repo, sprint name, or user in the UI, it can still be cluttered or clunky to filter out with different dimensions over and over.

Ease of use. Easily integrates to make epics for github issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Takes a little bit to get use to the UI but after using it, really helps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
