Aha! Review

PROS: I love how this tool works. It's an awesome product for getting a visual on the roadmap. You get to comprehend the pieces involved in accomplishing roadmap goals and how ideas/releases/initiatives are all related to each other. Its Aha! Score is of great value and assists teams in planning out potential realeases in an easy manner.

CONS: At the moment, they lack native mobile support. It really doesn't have to acquire a lot of functionality. But it should be expected to have a lot of things for mobile devices. These should include releases, reports, and ideas.

PROS: The best part about this app is that you can share the roadmap view with others. You can select the product features that you want to be included or excluded in this product. Moreover the auto-push feature to JIRA is very helpful.

CONS: New users may find the app to be complex and the beginning and will need to use it frequently to easily navigate it. It's organization is confusing with its different sections and sub-sections. I wish that you could link a product feature to multiple initiatives. Currently you can only assign it to a single initiative.

PROS: The outstanding feature of this app is that we can easily track features and releases that are against our top-level corporate objectives. Moreover, it makes it easy to communicate our plans to both internal and external audiences keeping in mind our objectives and timelines. Its integration with Jira reduces manual work needed to keep things updated and communicate the plan.

CONS: I don't like the fact that the per-seat cost is pretty high, so we have to reduce the number of people using Aha than we would like. The read-only role makes people to go to Jira instead.

PROS: Aha! took our product management functionality of our organization to the present. We've been using it for months now. I can now leave the days of spreadsheets, PowerPoints, and scribbling on the legal pad. Currently we're on an SaaS solution with my company's SSO integration.

CONS: Reports can be customized. It can really tell the story of your releases in order. But that would entail knowing stuff about the pivot table formatting. It's something that hasn't yet been fully adopted to the team that I'm with.

PROS: I like the fact that the feature set is very comprehensive. You can use it to create product strategy and business goals, feature and initiative roadmaps, capture and assess ideas. You can also use it to create reports and presentations. It's integration with JIRA is great and enables you to send your features to JIRA and they will be updated in Aha. It helps project managers to be efficient in their work.

CONS: I wish that there is improvement on the feature that allows an admin to specify the views that reviewers and viewers have access to.

PROS: The best part of the app is that it integrates well with our existing Jira. You can set milestones and epics and view how long to market release and how we can move features out or in to the milestone and automatically see the release date updated. The ability to create multiple reports and graphs helps to visualize the project and easily make project status presentations.

CONS: You need to read all the documentation and learn to use Aha properly to avoid making avoidable setup mistakes that we did before. New users will find it too complex.

PROS: Task requirements offered by Aha! has been a blessing. It's capable of mimicking the way I'd normally create lists. Essentially, it makes it easy to cross-check or cross-off the stuff I've finished. Its tagging functionality works wonderfully.

CONS: Personally, it seems that I barely scratched the surface with this thing. The way Aha! labels its tabs can confuse me at times. I wish things were more intuitive. I wind up bookmarking certain pages since I have no idea on how move from one place to the next.
