Assembla Reviews & Product Details

Assembla is an excellent platform to maintain version control of each project that we carry out in the organization. What I like most is that it is very simple to use, enough for anyone to import or export projects to the repositories. I really like to have a ticket section to report bugs to my colleagues. Assembla includes SecureGit, which has high security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation to configure Assembla can be exhaustive. I believe that other alternatives such as videos should be available for users to be guided in the configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the volume of information we can track in Assembla - we can add any kind of metadata we need to track and sort our projects. We can track every date a project has, should, or didn't pass, every person who has touched a project, all of the project data, and more.

The visualization tools are also very powerful, even if the number of fields we need to see can cause Assembla to get a bit overloaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish organization was a little more powerful, and search in particular is disappointing. When you have hundreds of projects and tickets open at once, finding what you need can be a huge hassle. It would also be nice to have more quick ways to organize your views - right now everything for you and your team is cluttered under a single list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how you get all your tasks and your code repo in one place. Also, Assemble makes it easy to communicate with your team members with in-built mentions and there ability to reference other tasks or code commits. I also really like preview option before you post your comment.Simple to use and a great collaborative tool for our global employees.The advantage of it being integrated with SVN and GIT makes it really easy to manage our repo. Organization of ticket view, ability to share information with colleagues, and ease of use.Easily able to log issues and track them through to completion with our technical team.It used to be a convenient SCRUM/Kanban - style project management tool with seamless SVN integration. Great views of tracking stories through lanes, as well as the ability to track epics and sprints for our software development process. Software tracks each individual users contributions, and also has a built in wiki to document the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that they've changed their pricing model. We needed to add 1 additional team member, and we needed to switch to much more expensive model.I initially struggled with how to add custom fields and add to the dropdown values, but I was able to figure that out after spending some time looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the features Assembla has is best but the ticket managing system are great, also the burn down chart is a great tool to visually inspect your tickets and we can see the worked and remaining hours clearly also the tag system is also great also it is easy to filter between tickets by status, priority and all the things that is needed also the wiki system of Assembla is a great tool to keep any project related or any other documents that helps other user to find what information they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI interface for the cardwall is not that great, it is stretching the content to the very end of the screen that makes the horizontal scrollbar visible also it just a suggestion in the cardwall if the background color will change for tickets based the priority of the tickets and if we could've choose what color to give for the priority it would've be a great plus point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tight integration between tickets and source code improves developer quality of life. It helps developers trace each line of code to a ticket that helps provide context for why the code is the way it is. Plus, it makes it easier for developers to keep their own tickets up-to-date. Additionally, the code review tools promote better team collaboration and better code. The integration with Jenkins helps our team automate builds and deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the ticketing tool has improved significantly over the last year with the release of the sprint planning tools, the project management tools still lack enough reporting and functionality to fully serve a project of significant complexity. Planning releases, running reports of estimates vs actual time spent, and comparing that across multiple projects is virtually impossible except for the most clever of user.

Also, the source code repos lack integrations with other software services. Using tools like Microsoft App Center or Tugboat always seem to offer connections to Bitbucket and Github...but my code is in Assembla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assembla is a great web based tool for code management, Repository Management.

You can handle multiple Project at same time as SPACES.

All the ticket which are followed by you is shown in Home Page. From followed ticket you can easily check the any activity is done on ticket.

If any other user mention you in a comment a notification come and you can also see the notification on dashboard.

You can easily track all the events which was done on ticket through Stream section and also check all the tickets using ticket section also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you add additional worked hours by mistake then you can't change it to less hour.

For ex you worked 20 hour and by mistake you filled 40 hour instead of 20 hour then worked hour value set 40 . Now you are unable to change it as 20 hour.

There is not any way to correct the worked hour value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assembla it's the easiest and most intuitive tool to run sprints that I have ever used, what is really surprising is that it's like you have always used it the learning curve it's to the minimum and any one can jump in into the project and be able to use it with out any trouble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what I don't like is that sometimes my session close after a long time of leaving the page, which makes me lose the track of the work I was doing, and the other day some images that I just uploaded doesnt seem to load for everyone on my team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been working in Assembla for more than 3 years and it is making my life of Testing easier day by day with a lot of clarity. It is acting as a bridge between any Developer & Tester to solve Bugs faster in no time without any hassle of asking again in person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some times I feel more options may lead to confusing which one to use and which one to not. It is a little clumsy in some places. Need some better User interface (UI) to attract each Activity you depict in Assembla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Assembla is better compared to the system we usually used. SVN Function in the Assembla is practical, appropriate, handy, convenient and helpful as a developer like me. And I like the most functionality in the Assembla is the Commit in the SVN, it shows the latest checked-in code of my co-worker and it is my easily to tracked the changes in the codes. Thanks to the Assembla SVN Functionality. The second functionality I like the most in the Assembla is we can connect it to any IDE application with an SVN functionality, just simply copy the link of the project and the checked in items from the different developer can be checked out and have a copy on it. Assembla is so convenient as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think i don't have any to say to Assembla that I dislike or dislike the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assembla for severals years ago (8+), and always feel confortable with the integrated enviroment, you can setup a version control system for your project, but also it provides issue tracking for your team , with cardboards to follow stages and integrated tools for code reviews and code browsing in the same app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have better code integrations in comments, the hability to use markdown, and to add spoiler sections so if I paste a big piece of code, I could make it collapsed and let others open the contents on demand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has everything you need for a development team these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is somewhat cluttered to my taste. The look & feel is technical style of 90s - small fonts, screens packed with secondary details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I was first introduced to Assembla, it was very exciting to have both source code and tickets at once place. Assembla team kept introducing new featured at a rapid pace. Time to time they have introduced hooks, likes of ticket id and comments during code commits. Which allowed us to have better control at code quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not like disliking, but I would like to have a report of tickets which I have contributed at any level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ticketing and source control integration - there are no unnecessary hoops to go through to configure a new project, and out Project Managers seem happy, too! They're constantly releasing incremental improvements, but allowing users to transition to new versions of the tools at their own pace - there's nothing worse than having to re-learn how a vital tool works when you're on a deadline, so having the option to defer is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like to joke that Assembla loves an email - there was a time where the default notification settings would email everyone related to a ticket for every minor change. These settings are fairly easy to fix, and I think the defaults might be more sensible now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

linking of git activity to tickets, and various other services linking together, is very handy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like they do approximately 0 dogfooding and have no QA department at all. I could be wrong, that's just how it feels. I can't count how many bug reports I've filed, but if I had to estimate, maybe 30? A few of those are bugs that affect me every day, but have not been fixed despite me reporting them months ago. To be fair, most of these issues are minor.

Many design decisions are shockingly bad, although it has improved . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing ticket. Taking reports from card wall. The features are cool. Creating ticket is available by API call which is good feature. I personally feel it is good for development team. Code merge is very good by assembla. Adding user, admin functionality for managing team is very good. Filter about the tickets in a space is useful. Also as a user we can create job task rule to take any report in future is very much useful.

The list we can do filter or can take the ticket report as of any update of ticket as status or by any comment given the assigned person. Reassigning a ticket for code review feature also good as compared to normal ticketing tool system. Very nicely organised the ticket card wall listing with apply of ticket any condition of filter. The dashboard of each space is very good. After the login it shows about user's statistics of ticket's customized status with color is very attractive to team. In one place tracking all the space status is nicely cool feature for a team lead/manager. The due date feature of a ticket is also good to have for team progress and track status under a sprint and release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moving ticket from one space to another space should be there in assembla. Wiki page should improve in more fashion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pros: Reliability, I've used Assembla for more than 10 years and I do not recall any significant downtime, sure there were some issues but they were typically resolved within an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cons: It's expensive for what it is, it isn't that versatile (for example, you can't modify the status's to customise your status or workflow) and the pricing recently once the ownership changed hands.

It provides what needed functionalities for collaboration. Like mentioning, notification, workflow, repositories, recent activities. Especially the recent activities, that was the first to go when I opened Assembla. I could find who mentioned me, what card I was following, etc.

Simple to use and a great collaborative tool for our global employees.We've used Assembla for managing our code and document repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Assembla both as a developer and customer creating tickets for other developers in my team.

For ticket creation, and for me it excels at this. It's searching/filtering features are excellent, it allows creation of custom fields which can be searched like any other field, and performance is great. This is a difficult thing to do, and it does it well, because often you want to capture information specific to your organisation.

I love the messaging feature, to communicate between our team, it is really useful.

Also great traceability/audtiing of all edits done which is essential.

Also their support is prompt and responsive, this is really important when I have found some minor bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I primarily use Assembla for creating/managing tickets - there is nothing standout for me that is annoying, it really is a fine tuned tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It is user-friendly.

2. We can easily handle tasks and Issue Management

3. Capture all the client requirements in the form of user stories

4. It has a centralized communication as we can place our files at one place for reference

5. Keep track of the project deliverables Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Subscription prices are very high that is the reason organizations are using other professional project management tools like JIRA etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Assembla takes the stress and security of administrating source control off my shoulders while providing additional tools that are helpful for game development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had some initial problems with billing but the Assembla team sorted it out after I called. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the component that permits me assigning errands over my engineers and analyzers I like having the option to welcome customers into our group bunches for exploring tickets I likewise am partial to the capacity to make exclusively sifted perspectives so I can see the venture such that best suits my needs Assembla is extremely straightforward and simple to utilize Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everybody utilizes Github and it is modest $7 o mo, while Assembla was three fold the amount and rising Even however I don't "generally" like Github, I have a paid Github account I end up tapping the catch to present the bug on numerous occasions since I am uncertain if the solicitation experienced User interface should be more easy to use and needs progressively powerful graphical method for seen includes in the instrument.
