"Simple, focused software management"
3/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Awesome tool for Source Code Management."
4/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"A tool for everyone"
5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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 do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Assembla: An Engine of any Development/Testing "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Amazing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

"A good all in one solutions for development teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Nice service that keeps developing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"I was just thrown into a project on Assembla"
5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Assembla made my life easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Very Satisfied User"
5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.
