Assembla Review

PROS: Assembla facilitates faster communication for team members on the same platform and breaks down communication barrier. Having live demos while testing a code is made easier and everyone can air their views and opinions on the demos. Everyone across the board, i.e. managers, developers, customers is able to use it effortlessly.

CONS: There are a couple of disadvantages. First, it is a bit difficult to use for first time users. It should be easy as everyone in the team needs to be conversant with it to be productive in the organization. Second, their customer support is wanting, and there is a lot of improvement that they need to do.

PROS: First of all, I like the visual aspect of Assembla. With this system everything is easy even following of Scum processes or tracking the progress. I like the email notifications about ticket updates because are highly helpful and the good thing is that if you find those alerts annoying you can always tun them off.

CONS: I really like the flexibility of Assembla but I wish they could make it even more flexible and customizable for drop downs when you need to create the set up for a ticket.

PROS: I like that i can easily navigate the system and keep track of old tickets. I’m using it to report bug to R&D and to track status and interaction with R&D, it allows me to keep good information flow. I can customize the notifications and to stay on top of the issues and it sends me alerts if a ticket waits for response.

CONS: Sometimes when it comes to filtering the KanBAn can be really confusing process as well as navigating to my space can be confusing too. I don’t like that I often lose oversigt of tickets because of the filtering.

PROS: In the past I used Assembla very often. I remember, I coudl email a ticket in diffeent shcedule jobs and to get great visibility of SQL tasks. I really liked that it was web-based soluton and it allowed me to keep track pof the status of the projects and tickets. I think, I will return to Assebla again.

CONS: I believe that all the issues and complaints are being resolved by now. In the past it felt confusing because it had lto of features and tools. But I think we weren’t ready for this kind of software.

PROS: I like the fact that you can use Assembla as a free tool for cloud-hosted source control. You can have as many users as you need connected to the same server. As a paid member, I can access excellent project management tools. Both managers and developers can easily use the software as it is not complex. Reporting is also very easy. Every user is able to see what everyone else is working on. Being a cloud based tool, I can connect to it wherever I am.

CONS: There is a bizarre disadvantage of using Assembla.There are fewer options available on space and users for paying members. Non-paying members have no limit on space or the number of users, yet paying members have limits according to the amount of money they pay. Users are forced to have both versions to be able to fully enjoy using the software.

PROS: The truth is that it can be very challenging to handle projects by using Agile methodology (Scrum, Sprint and etc) but Assembla helps us to better handle all of these and to implement it for both project managers and developers. The UI is helpful and simple one and it helps us to make a mark on the other project management tools. The Dependency report is extremely helpful. We are able to keep the project management documentation in Wiki and use it whenever there is a need or we can simply share it with others.

CONS: They could implement new concept and ideas and they could improve the performance and speed. The new UI is great but it looks quite complicated.

PROS: I like Assembla’s interface because it is simple and intuitive. The required fields help us to manage data we need and to track bugs. We can easily create queries and to keep tabs on specific kinds of issues in one place. The product is robust and user-friendly and allows us to auto-track tickets and get email updates whenever there is a comment from a team member.

CONS: It doesn’t allow me to click “next” button on a ticket and to go to the next ticket numerically. They could make simple way to browse forward, because I use this product for ticketing and the UI looks bit cluttered within the things.

PROS: Assembla is ideal for project management and task management. It has issue tracking system which is feasible and user friendly. Projects can be customized based on an organizations needs and desires. Furthermore, the scrum methodology in Assembla is easy to manage. Lastly, the easy reporting functionality enables team members to be up to date with task updates any time from wherever they are.

CONS: The developers need to concentrate on mobile platforms.

PROS: It has always been challenging doing projects using agile methodology such as SRUM and Sprint, but with Assembla it is less complex. It is no longer a challenge as the software has an appealling and user friendly UI. Also, the ticket and report tracking systems are very helpful. The software is intergrated with Wiki. You can keep the project management documentation on wiki and share with your team or for future reference.

CONS: The software could do better on speeds and performance. The UI is good, but it can be very bulky at times, thus reducing productivity.

PROS: Assembla is perfect fit for both project and task management. I like this issue tracking solution because it is extremely flexible and user friendly. It allows us to customize projects based on our needs, to work with Agile and Scrum methodology. Within Assembla the version control integration is perfectly managed. The other good thing about is its transparency and this means that others can see each task updates and track other developer’s task updates.

CONS: They could imporve the mobile platform.
