"A Perfect All Rounder Platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Launchpad?

What I liked the most about Launchpad is its user friendly design, functionality, effortless navigation, and most of all it's bug tracking feature. Some features of this platform like code reviews, code commits using git and bug tracking makes it a perfect all rounder for open source developement. Very simple to find your way around the platform, to make a search or a post, to record, everything you need is available right on the dashboard upon sign-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Launchpad?

Sometimes it's difficult to describe what you dislike or just like a little less. A similar case is with Launchpad; I'm not too fond of it as it doesn't allow any other account holders to sign in apart from Ubuntu one account. The UI is user-friendly; however, not very attractive. I am also sure there is a reason behind it, and Canonical is already working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Launchpad:

My recommendation to others considering using Launchpad, I would say a big thumbs up if you're working on opensource and looking for a perfect all-rounder software giving everything that's needed. Launchpad is all you need to start code, code commit, code review, bugs tracking & fix, and final opensource software is ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being an Analyst my role is to test and identify the issues with the open source software or project under development. We knew that opensource usually requires software for more accessible code hosting. Launchpad has helped us to test the codes, identify and clear all the bugs that persist in our project. We have been using Launchpad as it also made our work easier and to commit our project with git. Launchpad made it easier to convert ideas from scratch to final release project easier with help of team coordination mailing list and many different features. Bug Tracking feature of this platform is a life savior for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LaunchPad launch it!!!"

5/5

What do you like best about Launchpad?

The best thing about Launchpad has to be the design & functionality, it's really easy to navigate and find your way around the app, to make a search or a post, to record and not to mention how quick it is to find these icons to get the ball rolling, they all are on the dashboard upon signing in, which is straightforward too and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Launchpad?

Can't fault it had to launch it! or should I say Launchpad it! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Well, as many of us are currently working from home because of the pandemic, our organization is still growing 2 x our current scale and that means we are recruiting more and more people to keep up with our growth objectives and to meet stakeholders' needs. This means we have to use an app to demonstrate how our current systems & processes work to inform new employees on how to find their way around and make the best use of time to get things done. This is where launchpad comes in, we can record videos, collaborate with colleagues, measure user performance, welcome comments & improvements from the entire organization all within 1 app, Launchpad. This adds tremendous value to our company and more importantly to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you're into opensource - Go for launchpad"

4/5

What do you like best about Launchpad?

Since the time I have been into opensource, I had always been finding the best option for my projects for collaboration. There are certain things that you need to sort out if you are into open-source - code review, refactor, hosting is some of those, and these were the ones that used to take up a lot of time of mine.

Using Launchpad, all of these have become easier to use and are no more a task now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Launchpad?

For a first-time user, logging in becomes difficult since he can't use his Google account and only log in via Ubuntu one account. So I feel there must be options to log in via other sources, e.g., Facebook, Google, email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Launchpad:

Just make sure you have a Ubuntu One account, else it works like a charm! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

So every person who is into opensource usually requires software for more accessible code hosting. Launchpad has helped our organization to clear all the bugs that persist in our project. We have been pulling code and merging the branches into the main branch since Launchpad has made it easier to integrate our software with git.

There was a time when we couldn't manage all the requests and used to have another person for all the stuff, but now we don't require that anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mailing list is not so effective. Need improvements in many areas. Should bring more APIs and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bug Tracking made easy with Launchpad"

5/5

What do you like best about Launchpad?

Launchpad is one of all platform for daily software development tasks. From intuitive bug tracking to our code hosting, having everything under a single platform makes it super simple to navigate all jobs and codebases under one application.

Our company uses Launchpad to code commits using git, code reviews on the commits, and bug tracking for our product management and timelines.

Since we also follow an open-source culture having these tools at disposal is very important and very centric to the engineering practices we follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Launchpad?

I don't feel anything wrong with the platform. It is simple to use with an intuitive User Interface. With support for mailing list we can provide support to customers and open source developers directly through the mail threads, and code review / bug tracking process are super simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Launchpad:

if you have an open source project do use Launchpad! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Launchpad as a platform to enable standard software development practices of code -> commit -> review -> push -> bugs fix -> push. And the inclusion of all the tools under a single platform is probably the biggest plus about Launchpad. There is less reliance on other 3rd party services to carry out tasks like bug tracking.
