Its unique way to describe and categorize the issue at hand is well sorted and makes for a clean and understandable user experience. > > **Cons**: There might be issues that are created and assigned by parts and during bug/defect identification and creation, assigning these bugs should have an option to assign multiple members instead of single-member. > > The product is clutter-free and any features that are added have simple use cases and helps in easier implementation. A good user interface to avoid daily hassles involved in bug/defect reporting daily as a tester. ----- ### "Seriously, Backlog is the best in this regard" — 4.0/5 > **Saul** | *29 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've used Backlog with moderate success up until we had many times more users, well this has done that same as of today but now I don't have to explain to each teacher what it is they're doing. That's cool, I didn't even have to send a techie in to install the whole system. > > **Cons**: Although the mobile app is very difficult to use and has serious lag problems. I absolutely detest the fact that you cannot remove a Channel if you created it within a Space or Folder (which is kind of ridiculous). And I also think it is silly that I cannot enable my Camera for Clips. > > Overall I am relieved I no longer have to switch back and forth between WhatsApp and Google Drive. It makes sure that both the frontend and backend developers do not bug me about SOPs, since everything is simply available in one location. ----- ### "Backlog need to be changed and improved" — 2.0/5 > **Đặng** | *11 February 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The color of issue can be changed, I can customize the characteristics of issue for each project. > > **Cons**: when I filter all issue of project , it shows parents issue and sub-issue. If I click on the arrow, which is head of parent issue, Backlog shows all of sub-issue of that parent issue, which are showed before. So many issues are showed twice. It can make me confused. I think Backlog shoud list parent issue and issue has no parent issue. About issue has parent issue, you can hide and when user click on the arrow, it can be showed. Thank you > > Sorry but the truth is inconvenience for me. I hope Backlog can do more for me and my project. I can't have the statistics I want at Home, I can't see overall my project ... I Hope Backlog can be developed and help us more in the future. ----- ### "Simple, Reliable, and Team-Friendly Project Management Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Chaitanya** | *19 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Backlog offers great value for money with a balanced set of features at a reasonable cost. Its customer support is responsive and backed by clear documentation, making issue resolution easy. The platform has a very low learning curve due to its clean and intuitive interface, allowing teams to get started quickly. Project and team collaboration are seamless with centralized task tracking, real-time updates, comments, and notifications that keep everyone aligned. Task management is efficient with clear priorities, statuses, milestones, and deadlines. While employee management is basic, the user roles and access controls are sufficient for managing teams effectively within projects. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Backlog is the limited customization and reporting options. Advanced analytics, dashboards, and workflow customization are fairly basic compared to some competitors. Employee management features are minimal, and the UI, while clean, can feel slightly dated for power users who need deeper insights and automation. > > Overall, my experience with Backlog has been positive. It is easy to use, reliable, and well-suited for teams that want straightforward project and task management without unnecessary complexity. The low learning curve, strong collaboration features, and integrated issue tracking make it effective for day-to-day work, especially for small to mid-sized teams. While it lacks some advanced customization and reporting features, it delivers consistent performance and good value for money. ----- ### "No-frills task management" — 5.0/5 > **steven** | *8 January 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is simple and to the point. No fancy things, just task management. The plans are affordable, and it's easy to get started for anyone. > > **Cons**: A little more customizability to add, remove or rename certain categories would be great. Can be long to input information with multiple clicks required. > > It is no-frills task management. Easy to use and learn for everyone. It does the basics, but gets them right. It is not super customizable, but at the same time that makes it easy to manage. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/54157/backlog?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/54157/backlog) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
