Linear Reviews & Product Details

Linear feels incredibly fast and responsive, which makes it easy to stay in the flow while managing tasks. The interface is clean and minimal without being confusing, and shortcuts make navigation surprisingly smooth. I also really like how issues, projects, and roadmaps all tie together in a way that keeps everything connected without adding extra layers of complexity. It feels built for speed and focus, which makes day-to-day work much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Linear is excellent for smaller teams or straightforward workflows, it can feel a bit limiting if you need a lot of customization or complex reporting. Some integrations are still fairly basic, so you might need to patch together extra tools if your team has heavier requirements. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it does mean that bigger organizations may run into friction compared to more feature-heavy platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Linear very easy and convenient to use. It's fast and reliable, consistently meeting my expectations without any delays. The integration with Slack is particularly impressive, ensuring that we receive every update promptly, which enhances our communication and keeps everyone in the loop efficiently. I also appreciate the integration with GitHub, as this means our tech team's changes and PR merges are seamlessly updated on Slack, thus enhancing workflow transparency. Additionally, Linear's initial setup was straightforward and intuitive. It is not overloaded with features, making it easy to understand and operate, which is a significant advantage. Generally, my experience with Linear has been very positive, and I find it to be an excellent tool for managing our operations efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think earlier their mobile app, at least the iOS app, was not that good. I haven't used it since, but my experience from at least six months ago was not positive. Apart from that, Linear has not very good analytics or reporting capabilities. Unlike Asana and other ticketing tools, Linear's analytics are lacking, forcing me to integrate it with Google Sheets to perform customer analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the clean, minimalist interface and the overall simplicity of the platform. Unlike many project management tools that feel cluttered with features and dashboards, Linear feels light and easy on the mind, helping me to be focused on my tasks without feeling overwhelmed.

Sometimes, the desktop app becomes stuck and requires a full restart, which can be annoying when you're neck deep in a task. Although, the platform is clean and minimal, certain functions could be more intuitive or accessible. I’d love to see the platform become more user-friendly in terms of navigation, especially. These small issues can make the experience feel a bit tedious at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Sr. Product Manager, I use Linear every single day to manage sprints, prioritize tasks, and keep the team aligned. What I love most is the clean, minimal UI and how effortless it feels to plan and track work. The speed is unmatched compared to other tools—no lag, no clutter, just a smooth experience. The keyboard-first navigation and shortcuts make me significantly more productive. I also appreciate how well it integrates with tools like Slack and GitHub, giving me a streamlined workflow across product and engineering. Linear makes it easy to stay on top of roadmaps and execution without feeling overwhelmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation I’ve felt is with epics management. Currently, epics feel too lightweight—I’d love the ability to create a full-fledged epic structure, where I can build modules inside an epic, and within those, create tasks and subtasks. This would allow more depth and hierarchy in planning complex projects. Right now, we make it work with tasks and projects, but for bigger initiatives, a more structured epic framework would be a huge value add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
