"Backlog is good and easy to use"

5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

Task and bug tracking, Gantt chart, notifications, comments and files sharing. These are the main features in the backlog. All are very useful in an organization easy to create task and bugs and you can set due date for the tasks and bugs with their status like fixed, in progress and resolved. No need to ask anyone everything is clearly visible. Dependencies become less on others. Gantt chart show you the full timeline view of the project. Notifications you will get notified when issue is assigned or anything like comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

Mobile app is not smooth it lags this is the only thing i dont like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before backlog its very confusion to track everything all tasks are assign via email to the team members. after using backlog all the tasks are in one place and easy to track everything many problems gone away like someone is not doing anything i can easily track that user and assign them work and no need to ask everyone for their projects, bugs or tasks updates i can easily check. It sends notifications when something is assign so no one can say that i forget to update that tasks because on every issue or on comments notification will be sent. Gantt chart show you all the tasks in timeline like when is task is starting or when its ending. These are the main things backlog solves in my life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no downside of backlog for now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Its very good tool because everything is in one place we dont need to use two differenet apps for this. Because in this i can create tasks for bugs and normal work. if we find bug in the app or website we just create new task or issue and assign to developer. If any work like design or testing, we also add it in the same tool. So now everyone in the team can see what is going on the projects. We can create tasks or bugs with priority options like deadlines, comments and file sharing. If you are

working on many projects and doing many tasks backlog can help lot to achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Make management easy"

5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

This tool made the project management really easy.It provides many advanced features. Issue creation, assigning tasks, tracking progress, task status are some of the incredible features that backlog provides. It provide you the ability to control code versions. Your code changes and commits are purely transparent here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

Mobile app experience is not as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a project manager, it does most of my work. Issues are listed on this platform instead of preparing daily sheets that required energy. Team collaboration has been increased as the things are much clear and understandable and decreased at the same time as unnecessary discussion regarding task assignment are not done now. The way to know on what task you need to work on is to check the issue board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Backlog review- Seamlessly Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Backlog?

Using Backlog on Apple iOS has been a surprisingly smooth experience. The mobile app mirrors the clean and structured layout of the desktop version, making it easy to assign tasks, leave comments, and track progress even when I’m away from my desk. I especially love how responsive the app is on iOS—it loads quickly, updates in real-time, and offers just the right balance of functionality and simplicity. It keeps me in sync with my team, no matter where I am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

The mobile app, while efficient, could use enhancements in terms of deeper filters and push notification control. Sometimes the notifications come in bulk, and it can be tough to sort through what's urgent versus routine. It would also be great if the iOS app supported offline access for reading tasks and updating comments when disconnected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Backlog solves the issue of fragmented communication and unclear task ownership. Before switching to it, our projects suffered from lost updates and scattered conversations. With Backlog—especially with the flexibility to access it via iOS—we’ve built a habit of documenting work clearly, assigning responsibility, and collaborating effectively. It’s increased our efficiency and reduced delays across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
