The premium support is super fast and always ready to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

"Programming Project Management Super-seeded By Atlassian "

2.5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Reliable. I've just Assembla for the best part of 10 years and I've never had any serious issues.

Assembla is a great way one stop shop for managing a programming team: I've used it as a code repository, for buildsheets and notes in a wiki and ticket management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

Recently Assembla has been taken over, the prices have risen sharply and there has been no substantial improvement in functionality. Dollar for dollar, you're probably better of using the Atlassian stack now even with their price increases too! The backups produced can not be restored with the interface to stop you from stopping/starting your membership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very organized, practical, and feature-rich"

5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

I like that I can easily upload videos/screenshots, I also like that it supports multiple repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

I dislike managing and linking tickets, also I don't like when I remove a comment it shows that I removed a comment in the ticket, I wish it would just delete it and not say anything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

I recommend using the wiki as much as you can for miscellaneous information about the project, like READMe's, usernames/passwords, and contact information for your client/developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps me convey to the developers what bugs are being presented in the software easily and I realize being able to assign tickets back to the developer keeps them organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good platform"

5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

The ability to set up milestones and the daily commit log are really useful for development teams. It is a nice version control and project management platform and never had any issues with the platform. Used on a daily basis at my last job working on a custom software application used in manufacturing. Has integration that are useful for issue tracking and bug reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

User interface is kind of clunky and could use some improvement, otherwise it is a great product and I enjoyed using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sharing a code-base with a team spread-out over different physical locations. Also we don't really have IT so didn't need to worry about setting up a server that gets backed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assembla as a ticketing system"

3/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Convenient web interface for managing tickets and team workflow.

Easy to customize (custom fields)

Good integration with email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

Never used the version control features.

While there are project / sprint management features available, team never warmed to them and never actively used them.

General search capability over the ticket database could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assembla: Solid Issue Tracking Platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

I like Assembla for many reasons but largely because of its no non-sense, simple interface. All the required fields are there to manage the data we need tracked on a given bug, but it doesn't look cluttered or excessively flashy. It is easy to create saved queries to keep tabs on certain kinds of issues all in one place. The commenting system is robust and very user-friendly and allows me to auto-track a ticket that I created and thereby get email updates when team members comment on it or change its status or sprint number. I also especially like the way the UI handles photos/screenshots, which are crucial to properly documenting an issue with our software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

One of the main things that annoys me about Assembla is that I cannot click a "next" button on a ticket to go to the next numbered ticket numerically. Periodically, I will log into the system to look at what new tickets have been opened and once I start back from the last ticket I reviewed, there is no easy way for me to browse forward. Because I primarily use this system for ticketing, the main page UI can look a bit cluttered with things that the team needs but I don't need access to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

Definitely use this system if you need to track software issues and manage a development schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to track and manage all the bugs we experience with Assembla in a streamlined manner. Not only do we get to track them, but our development team can easily categorize and prioritize them to meet their goals for release schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assembla changed the way that our team works"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Assembla?

Integration between tickets, git commits and documentation in the wiki. I love that developers and clients can log into the same system and see the current state of the project. Complete transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

I have been disappointed with the level of customization on client facing sections of the projects. I would like to be able to have more control over what my clients see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Assembla:

Assembla pulls all of the critical parts of a development workflow together into one place. Some parts are a bit rough (for example, time estimates and reporting needs work) - Nevertheless, Assembla makes development much easier than it was before. Everything from source control to peer reviews and project documentation is tightly integrated. Full transparency is an easy thing to manage with clients as we simply add them as project team members with read only access.

I highly recommend using Assembla to all development teams.

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

We have integrated a distributed development team. Assembla has allowed us to have a single place for developers, clients, project managers and QA staff to collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
