What do you like best about Backlog?

I like Backlog for its clear task organization and visual workflow tools. These features help reduce overwhelm, improve accountability, quickly spot bottlenecks, and enable better planning. Additionally, the initial setup was quick and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

I find the limited mobile experience and reporting limitations a bit of a downside. There should be full feature parity between mobile and other platforms, as well as an offline mode. Also, custom reports, export options, and history tracking could really enhance the product's usefulness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruth Aparicio of Backlog

Thank you for the detailed review, we really appreciate it!

We're glad Backlog's clear task organization and visual workflow tools are reducing overwhelm, boosting accountability, helping you spot bottlenecks quickly, and improving planning. The fast initial setup is always nice to hear too!

Thanks for the honest feedback on the mobile experience and reporting. We've made big strides recently: The iOS app was completely redesigned in late 2025 (version 3.0) with a cleaner interface, faster navigation, and quick-edit features. The Android app also received a major redesign (version 3.0.1).

We don't have full offline mode or deep custom reporting yet, but we do support CSV/Excel exports from the Issues page and have various built-in progress visuals (Gantt, burndown, etc.).

Your suggestions on feature parity, offline support, and enhanced reporting are very valuable though!

Thanks again for using Backlog and helping us improve!

"Efficient Task Management, Quick Setup"
4/5
What do you like best about Backlog?

I like that Backlog is safe for me to use and that it helps me manage tasks efficiently by setting the time for me, which reduces the time it would otherwise take to manage tasks. The initial setup was quite fast, taking under half an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

Actually, I don't think there's anything that doesn't work well, but for improvement, maybe the management, like how you organize the task on the Backlog, I think that's required improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Backlog is the best!"
5/5
What do you like best about Backlog?

Backlog is very user-friendly and simple to use. I really enjoy the organizational features for managing different tasks, and I like that I can filter them as needed by status—open, in progress, or closed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

Backlog is great. If possible, I’d love an option to add photos. Sometimes, when there are equipment issues, it would be helpful to see exactly what someone is referring to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruth Aparicio of Backlog

Thank you for the great review, we truly appreciate it!

We're glad Backlog's user-friendly design and simple organization (with easy filtering by status like open, in progress, or closed) are making task management straightforward for you.

It's awesome to hear it's keeping communication clear and organized across staff and management, that's exactly what we aim for!

On adding photos/attachments to issues (super helpful for equipment issues!): Backlog already supports this, you can attach files (including images) directly to issues or comments.

Thanks again for using Backlog and for the positive words!

"Organized Workflow with Some Clutter"
4/5
What do you like best about Backlog?

I like how Backlog keeps everything in one place. Tasks, deadlines, comments, and code stay organized so the team doesn't lose track of anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

A few things could be better with Backlog. Sometimes the interface feels a bit cluttered. And for very small projects, it can feel like overkill. Also, notifications can get overwhelming if there are a lot of tasks and comments at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruth Aparicio of Backlog

Dear Vân,

Thanks for your review! We’re glad to hear Backlog is helping you stay organized, track progress, and collaborate with your team effectively. That's exactly what we aim to support.

We hear you on the clutter. For smaller projects, you can simplify the sidebar by toggling off unused features like Wiki or Gantt charts in Project Settings. On the issues page, you can also select “view options” to hide unnecessary fields. Notifications can stack up fast, but you can adjust them in your Personal Settings to only get the alerts that matter most.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!

"Seamless Setup, Great for Ticket Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Backlog?

I like Backlog's easy-to-access UX and great features that streamline the issues and product line for ticketing management. Updating tickets or assigning them to users is very quick, which is a huge plus. The initial setup was seamless and didn't require much manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

I think the filters should be more optimized. I want a search mechanism that will search through all the issues, assignees, and any comments as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruth Aparicio of Backlog

Dear Ankit,

Thanks for your review!

We're glad Backlog's easy UX, quick ticket updates, and seamless setup are helping you streamline ticketing and product line management.

Thanks for the feedback on the search and filters. We understand how important a powerful search is for staying on top of issues. Backlog includes an Advanced Search feature that allows you to search across all issues, assignees, and even comments using keywords, filters, and conditions. This can help you find exactly what you need more efficiently. Please see the link below.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!

5/5
What do you like best about Backlog?

I appreciate Backlog for helping me understand how project tracking works during challenges or when launching new projects. I find it has a lot of features that other similar tools don't have, especially how easy it is to collaborate with other users. The dashboard is great for following up on how projects are going. Also, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Backlog?

It can be a bit of an expensive tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ruth Aparicio of Backlog

Dear Beatriz,

Thank you for the fantastic review, we truly appreciate it!

We're delighted that Backlog's rich features, easy collaboration, helpful dashboard for tracking progress, and straightforward initial setup are supporting you through project challenges and launches. Having everything in one place to understand tracking and stay aligned is exactly what we aim for, glad it's standing out compared to other tools!

Regarding pricing, Backlog uses flat-rate pricing (no per-user fees), starting with a Free plan (up to 10 users), Starter at $35/month (up to 30 users), and higher tiers for unlimited users and advanced features. This lets teams scale affordably without costs spiking as you grow.

Your feedback on value is super helpful, we're always looking at ways to make it even more accessible.

Thanks again for choosing Backlog and for the kind words, they mean a lot!
