"Task management with backlog becomes very simple"

5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

I can create task within one minute with backlog. I write what’s the work and assign it to developer and mention deadline and set priority like high, medium, low. If the task is too big then we can break it into subtasks and assign them. The best thing is status update i can see on which task developer is working and which one is open, in progress or completed. I can attach files like screenshots and doc and pdf drag and drop feature is very helpful and saves time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

Everything is fine in this, i dont find any dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My role is doing task management in my team. Before backlog its too difficult to handle everything after using backlog i feel like half tension gone. I just open backlog create task and assign to my team member and menstion due date. If its too big task then I break in 2-3 subtasks and assign it to many users. I can check everything what’s going on the projects. I get email notifications. Comment section helps very much everyone to understand things. Drag and drop helps alot and saves time.

"Powerful tool for QA's"

5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

I use this tool for bug tracking, I am QA in the current organization so my work is to assign bugs to other members. My main role is to manage bugs and tasks in projects. I can comment on bugs and even attach screenshots of the bugs. Even you can create your own custom status for bugs like open, in progress, closed and resolved. You will get notified when someone assign bugs so the user will get notified when bug is assigned to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

Nothing to dislike about backlog. But it lags sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backlog is helpful for my team it solve many problems which we face while creating the project for our clients. I want to share some main problems which we face and how its helping me. Before using this we forget to some bugs but now i dont forget any bugs even after one month i can check previous bugs which are assigned via backlog. I dont need to ask devlopers that bug is resolved or not. I can open the project and easily check whats going on the project how many bugs are resolved or how many are in progress and how much are closed. It saves my time so, it helps me alot to save my time and complete the tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use this tool for project management and task management only. I want to tell you it helps me and my team in our projects. It helps my team to improve team communication. When we started to use this tool everything changed. Tool is easy to use and understand. Non technical can work with backlog without any problem. I can create new tasks fast with this tool and give task to the developer and set due date so everyone know when we have to complete these tasks and also set priority if some tasks are more important than other tasks. In backlog i can see all task in one place. It also shows status like not started, in progress and done. So I can easily know what work is completed and what is still pending.

"Good Project management tool with developer friendly UI"

5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

Backlog is a really helpful tool for managing projects, especially if you're working with a tech team. It connects well with Git, so we can link code changes straight to tasks, which saves time. The layout is simple and easy to understand, even for someone new. It's great for tracking tasks, planning work, and using visual boards to see progress clearly. Setting it up was quick, and it works smoothly with the tools we already use. Customer support has been good whenever we had questions. Overall, it makes our daily work more organised and less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

While Backlog is useful, there are a few things that can be better. Some parts of the tool are not easy to find, so the ease of use could be improved, especially for new or non-technical users. Even though the implementation was not too hard, it still took time for everyone on the team to get used to it. There are many features, but sometimes it feels like too much when you only need the basics - so the number of features can feel overwhelming. We use it frequently, but wish there were more options to customise it to our workflow. The integration with Git is great, but there are not enough built-in connections with other tools we use. Lastly, customer support is helpful, but the response time can be slow at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backlog helps solve the problem of scattered communication and task management. Before, we had to use different tools for tracking bugs, managing tasks, and handling code - now it's all in one place. Linking issues with Git commits and pull requests saves time and makes it easier to track who did what. It also improves team coordination by keeping updates, deadlines, and comments in one system. This helps me stay focused and organised without jumping between apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
