## Reviews

### "Cool issue management software, suitable for small teams" — 4.0/5

> **Yaniv** | *10 September 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The UX/UI of the software was pleasant to work with in the day-to-day tasks/management
> 
> **Cons**: The software wasn't flexible enough for our growing needs

-----

### "Proper SCRUM tool" — 5.0/5

> **Diego** | *13 April 2019* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pivotal Tracker (PT) has this incredible simplicity that makes it unique in his usability.&#10;It's kind of an example of how to do things and I always mention it when I need an example of effectiveness and simplicity.
> 
> **Cons**: Actually nothing, except that sometimes simplicity comes with a cost.
> 
> I've been using PT since many years without a problem.&#10;It's so simple to use that there is basically no learning curve, while actually everyone on the team can do his job effectively and it's also so simple to track the progress of the project.

-----

### "Potential, but difficult to navigate" — 2.0/5

> **Maria** | *13 October 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the single view of all the different project boards within one screen. Made it easier in terms of viewing the tasks that were associated with the different platforms we were dealing with. Also just being able to see a breakdown of the different types of tickets created regardless of whether it was a story of a bug was in one compiled view.
> 
> **Cons**: It was hard to navigate at times, especially when you've reached a point in which each panel had a lot of items added. The viewer becomes overwhelming and there was definitely a steep learning curve to get it up and running and get comfortable with it. I don't know if it was worth educating myself on how to use the interface when even after adding items and trying to manage them, it still felt like I had to keep learning.
> 
> It was alright, but I think it's due for a series UI refresh. It has advanced tools that are great to have, but hard to discover and hard to use.

### "From  a developer standpoint, it's straightforward." — 4.0/5

> **Joshua** | *11 February 2019* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy very much the ability to clearly list what may be blocking my progress, as well as being able to clearly list out the stages of any project that I'm working on.
> 
> **Cons**: I've found the marking of projects as started, finished, and accepted to be unclear. The menus are not as easily understood when getting past the basics of starting and ending a project.
> 
> This is preferable to merely listing what you are working on in a dev environment, though it's not as in-depth as jira.

-----

### "Good Product that can be Great" — 4.0/5

> **Varun** | *3 January 2020* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Has a preset rules and branches and uses a lot of Sprint related terminologies. The UI UX is clean, gives a good idea of who is working on what task
> 
> **Cons**: The state management of tracker cards is very difficult and requires up a decent amount of learning curve.
> 
> Overall. Good product but it has a capability of being. Great product. congratulations on the recent acquisition, well deserved
