"Dedicated user for 5+ years"

5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Great for managing agile software projects in a team environment. Easy to learn and a powerful competitor to Jira. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

Could get expensive for the portfolio edition, so we therefore don't use that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great project management tool but could be improved"

4/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

It is a great project management tool which offers an exhaustive set of features. It is easy to understand and use and helps in client management, e.g. the client invitation system where the team members can review the tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

There are places where the software lacks in customizability. I couldn't customize the drop down menu for tickets, and similarly Assembla also has a fixed report system which is not much customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bug tracking software that's easy to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

I'm not a developer so I don't use some of the more advanced features but what I like about Assembla is the easy to use interface, an integrated Wiki and and their Cardwall functionality that lets you keep track of bugs more easily for project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

We use both JIRA and Assembla and some key features missing in Assembla is the ability to integrate with HipChat so that you can reference discussions in tickets. Also missing are release versions with a list of tickets that are part of the release cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assembla"

5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Built in burn downs & email notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

Wasn't really sure if it would scale up well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

If you're looking for an alternative to JIRA or Hansoft, I'd highly recommend Assembla for the instantaneous email notifications and build in burn down charts. It's incredibly easy to make filters for your team and user friendly. It didn't take me nearly as long to get on-boarded with Assembla as it has with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Assembla solving and how is that benefiting you?

Daily emails helped me stay on top of the team's tasks and I was more quickly able to assess and correct when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assembla, interesting but could use some work"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

The cardwall and milestones are easier to immediately set up than other tools. I like being able to invite clients into our team groups for reviewing tickets. And having it SAAS, I can be anywhere to login and work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

The lack of cross project tools is painful. I am having to work with a friend to develop our own tools interacting with your APIs to determine hour allocation for projects, developers, qa, across all projects with a usage of hours determined as tickets complete. The generated reports are also not configurable which is also painful. We are having to run filtered CSV exports from the ticket views then run a report and use excel to mash them together for any breadth of insight, per week, per 15 projects. Let me tell you, that is painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

While this is not the powerhouse of Jira or Target Process, it takes far less ramp up time to get started and work. The integration with Git repos is fantastic. Associating tickets to work, cardwalls for milestones, and management of teams with a wiki for further info are all great out of the box features. While I am still digging into the features, expanding our usage of the tools, I am confident this software can help any dev team striving for ease of process and adoption for their engineering teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Assembla solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hour allocation per dev per client project. Milestone releases for agile process. Better process and automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for large projects, harder to manage for smaller teams."

4/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Assembla is a very, very robust project management software, replete with a number of features that reward those with a diligent work ethic. This is especially true for SCRUM-based projects or organizations.

If you are working on a large-scale or long term project, it would be hard to go wrong with Assembla given its vast feature set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

Assembla's UI can be a bit clunky and it is over-reliant on email notifications. There is a happy medium between Asana, Assembla, and Trello, but I feel like Assembla could benefit the most from an updated UI and UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

If you are working with a smaller team, stick to Trello, Todoist, and Drive. If on a larger project, use Assembla to bolster the resources you have available and keep your project on track.

I have not used Assembla in about six months, but my time with the project was enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Assembla solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assembla has helped myself and multiple teams go from conception to completion on a couple of game projects. The built-in task management, easy-to-understand timelines, and integration with major web services allowed us to effectively communicate our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Some issues but overall works for the most part"

1/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Assembla is very simple and easy to use. The interface is laid out in a clear way and not very cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

When posting a bug with a file attached, there is a lot of lag and no indication that the bug is posting or the page is loading. I find myself clicking the button to submit the bug multiple times because I am unsure if the request went through.

Also, I don't feel like it is as easy to search for old bugs on Assembla as it is on some other similar bug tracking software like JIRA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

Assembla is simple and easy to use, and if you do not need many elaborate features, this could be a good bug tracking software to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Assembla solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Assembla for bug tracking in a mobile game. It allows us to quickly and easily report bugs to the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product in the Beginning..."

1.5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

The ticketing feature was awesome. I liked the way it worked and looked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

Share code and content in Assembla was horrible. Even though I don't "really" like Github, I have a paid Github account. Everyone uses Github and it is cheap ($7/mo), while Assembla was three times as much and rising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

Hire me to build better training. Make the product move visual. Find a way to make it better (yet integrate with) Github. Hit me up @ https://www.linkedin.com/pub/john-g-moore/a/15/a4b

Also, the submit review button should be on the right side of the previous button. I had to "hunt" for the submit review link to even send this survey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
