Assembla

What do you like best?

Assembla is simple and fast (very responsive) when using it to create or assign tasks. It is intuitive and easy to learn for new users. User Management section is a bit confusing at first, but once you play around and understand it, its simple. There are some project management features like time tracking which you can use if you wish and have the need for "reports". It is fast and easy to prioritize and assign tasks with your team and easy to setup your own workflow. Love the Standup section feature and also how the Wiki is all integrated into one platform... it makes searching for things easy. Speaking of which, the search feature itself is very good and worth a mention.

The user management section can be a bit less intuitive to browse to and setup admins and various access, but after playing with it you'll understand it. Besides that, there's not much you can dislike.

If you have doubts about the quality service or features, consider asking their support team via chat for a trial or promotional offer. They are very considerate and open to doing business, and doing the right thing for their customers. Whenever our team has issues, Assembla support team via chat is very helpful in answering our team's questions. If you miss them on chat, they will reply via email.

Less time Sprint Planning and organizing and doing admin work, more time doing actual work and solving problems.

Tasks are easy to create and assign. Time is easy to track. Assembla is a less frustrating tool to work with compared to similar products. I've recommended Assembla for small teams of 2 people, to larger teams upward of 20. I'm sure it scales well for even bigger teams.

There are many tools that connect well together, like referencing tickets in your messages. It makes it easy to organize the entire space.

The cost is approaching the same as other products where it used to be free for small groups. It's still a good option for small teams, but may require a monthly subscription as the team grows.

Task tracking is best across multiple disciplines. In a team space that incorporates programmers, artists, designers, and producers, it's easy to separate out tasks and plan for sprints.

The ticket reports for specific Milestones of a project are great for communicating to customers where you are on a project. I also love that I can customize the ticket reports any way needed for the best communication to each individual customer.

When I have developers working on multiple projects at the same time, it is sometimes difficult to get a feel for exactly what they are working on each week cross-projects.

When we have a customer who feel like they are in the dark with regards to status of their project, Assembla reports are the best way to communicate that each week.

We use Assembla for our projects and we appreciate the fact that each new team member can start use it immediately. We like the possibility to integrate it with other tolls and the ability to extend the data model easily. Assembla is also Reliable. We do not recall any significant downtime, sure there were some issues but it was typically resolved within an hour. It does work as a method by which to manage the software development, a repository (SVN or GIT) is built into the solution. The card wall is a nice drag and drops feature that makes it quick and easy to stay organised. Child/Parents tickets are great too. Assembla provides cool functionalities for collaboration like mentioning, notification, workflow, recent activities.

We dislike the impossibility to have a Gant Chart inside. We dislike the impossibility to create a pipeline inside it. Assembla isn't as versatile as we would (for example, you can't modify the status's to customise your status or workflow). Having a desktop notification pop-up when you receive a new ticket/updated ticket would be an awesome feature to have.

Assembla give you the possibility to plan the team work easily. So, it is recommended for the team able to split the activities in task with milestones and to assign them to each team member.

The project managers increased their productivity and the ticket resolutions accelerated using Assembla. We've accelerated in the communication towards the management and other stakeholders like clients, partners, bu managers.

You can track the whole history of an issue

It is not always possible to search ticket number.

Take under control the project evolution with specific information about the progressive effort of an activity for each area. Assembla allows to relate children ticket to father one and this really helps.

I like that it's very intuitive to use all the sections, you don't need hours of learning curves for getting into using it

Don't have any dislikes yet

It would be great if you develop a time tracking windows client

Tickets, and time logging

And having it all in there helped me a lot to get going quickly, while also being able to share the same platform with our customers and teammates. They specially seem to be very happy with it, they're the ones creating tickets and updating the wiki which is really nice for a distributed team.

I'm still now learning about some features Assembla has, despite being using it for a few months already. So although I'm all for minimalist interfaces there has to be some way to be able to see what else there is to be done without leaving Assembla, because it's packed with features but you kinda have to know they exist.

Do your research and learn to use it properly, there's plenty of stuff hidden to avoid cluttering.

I'm working on a project with several people and several repositories, and Assembla lets us collaborate, document, track and review the progress being made by any of us while also being super simple to use.
