"A flexible and friendly alternative to the ubiquitous Atlassian suite"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"integration of various services is handy"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

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

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.

"Assembla has made my life easier"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Systems Manager opinion of Assembla"
4/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Best Task Management Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

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.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

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.

"Easy ticket and code management"
4/5
What do you like best about Assembla?

Ticket management is streamlined, assigning tickets to users is intuitive, @user mentions in comments are also displayed in the user's home screen.

Server-side hooks (no commit without an open ticket) are having Templates for basic cases, which can be tuned.

SVN integration drills down from Ticket to commit to code file and back, covering 60% of what an SVN client would have, but without having to switch to one (some users don't even bother maintaining an SVN client anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Assembla?

there is no GANTT chart to be able to see the critical path, only over-due-date is signaled.

Resource planning/booking is limited.

There are 10 e-mail Alert types, which spam the inbox by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
