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. ----- ### "An asset for tracking dev pipeline and velocity" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *6 April 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very versatile and powerful solution to tracking our development work. Keeps things organized well and allows us to improve our output. > > **Cons**: Took a little bit of time to start maximizing its use but really great once you get there. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "Pivotal - a tool with ease of use" — 5.0/5 > **Jyoti** | *15 December 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One thing that makes me choose pivotal over other software development tools is that it's quite easy to use and understand as a developer. It's convenient to compartmentalize the tasks according to the iterations - current/backlog or icebox. > > **Cons**: What I like least about this software is that it doesn't provide time tracking functionality for the stories created. > > Yes , I would always choose to use pivotal tracker for agile software development methodology. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/427633/pivotal-tracker?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/427633/pivotal-tracker) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
