Dragonboat Reviews & Product Details

I found Dragongboat incredibly easy to learn and understand. After trialing it for a few weeks, I was able to learn all of the various parts and see how easy it was to use. Having used other products in the past that were too complex, I was never able to get the buy-in from my teams and get them actually using it. Dragonboat does'nt have this problem and takes a great approach to managing a product portfolio.

As a CPO, I was looking for a tool that can be used by my product managers while at the same time give me visibility into the progress and status of our roadmaps. Dragonboat definitely hits the mark. What I liked best during my trial are the many ways to "slice and dice" the data that is in there as well as the integration with JIRA which we are using heavily.

The implementation was very smooth and the the onboarding team there does a fabulous job. They seem very open to hearing feature requests and seem to be making pretty regular upates to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some features which are a bit hidden which can be frustrating and some of the pages have slightly different user interfaces to the do the same tasks. Their pricing model can be confusing with different components of the platform being split up and some features only covered under certain bundles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragonboat is quick and simple to use and provides great visibility of the product portfolio and the teams' progress. Getting started requires a bit of work, but the support of the onboarding consultants was absolutely priceless. We felt supported every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We decided to use the platform since it provided a holistic suite of tools to manage our roadmaps, customer specific workstreams, OKRs, and product/feature lifecycle. I am not aware of another tool on the market that has this level of breadth and still remains easy to use. We worked closely with our CSM and AM throughout our relationship and they were responsive, solutions-oriented, and professional. The highlight of this relationship was the co-designing and collaboration to build solutions that satisfied sometimes nuance requirements. We felt like partners and learned from one another on a daily basis as new situations arose and we formulated intelligent workflows and solutions that ultimately helped our business grow and scale. Working with Dragonboat is hands down the most collaborative, positive, responsive SaaS experience I have ever had. Investment in the tool is well worth it, but I also see it as low risk since everyone goes above and beyond to ensure implementation and steady state use are optimized for the customer.

Features sometimes hidden due to depth of features--lots of bells and whistles are sometimes undiscoverable without CS or "power user" skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragonboat is a very flexible tool that allows different product owners to manage their roadmaps how they prefer to, yet still make it possible to roll up what is essential at the enterprise level, such as resource needs. The tool is super flexible to organize the backlog of Epics by timeframe, initiatives, sub-roadmaps, OKR's, theme, or any number of other fields. Assigning T-shirt size effort is easy with inline editing, similar to excel. The Portfolio List, which allows quick changes to the view and further provides the capability to group and summarize effort, ended up being my easiest part of planning. The dashboard view makes it easy to visualize the roadmap without overwhelming the audience you are informing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is still evolving, I would have liked to have external customers vote on ideas. I also felt more was needed handling resources capacity for situations like maintenance hours or fluctuations to when resources started on the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While other solutions focus just on the idea intake side, Dragonboat provides outcome based, multifaceted organization combined with the most robust, 2 way Jira Integration I’ve ever seen providing us full autonomy without needing to ask our engineering partners to change a single thing about how they work. Our Product Team can not only plan, evaluate and sequence work, but they are able to tie all their ideas directly to the target Company and Product Objectives, connect them to Jira, and get seamless and dynamic health and predicted end dates, all in one place. They can also easily manage up using the dashboard and allocation reporting features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm greatly looking forwards to the ability to save & share dashboard reporting configurations. I would also like to see continued maturity in the resourcing capabilities that would make it more intuitive in understanding how the resource assignments impact predicted dates and such as well as eliminating some of the tediousness that comes with getting things setup in the system. Lastly, I can't wait to see how the "requests" feature & integrations come to life because if that solves the intake side of things this will be the closest thing to a 1 stop shop out there.

Dragonboat provides us a way for all of our product teams to come together and collaborate when needed while still allowing individual PM's to manage their own roadmaps the way they prefer.

We use dragonboat for quarterly planning and weekly roadmap check ins both within product and engineering, also across the company. The alignment with OKRs makes prioritization much easier. The portfolio allocation and dependency management help PMs to work across silos. And my favorite part is the reporting that rolls up in different perspectives for different stakeholders.

They don’t have an integration with Netsuite yet. I heard it’s on the roadmap. Today we’ll download the data in csv and upload to Netsuite for financials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have many customer projects in our agency and need to juggle people and timeline between projects. Before that we tried many tools and still went back to spreadsheets. After being referred by a friend, we decided to give Dragonboat a try. There are a couple things we really like in Dragonboat. One is that it’s very flexible. Our teams have different preferences on the format. Some like spreadsheets, some like Gantt charts or kanban boards. Dragonboat has all these formats so everyone is happy with what they want to use. I really like the resource planning and trade off features. We can plan our portfolio of projects in the most resource efficient way. It even has financials where most tools don’t have.

It took me sometime to get around the product. But their customer success was super helpful. Once I got the terminologies figured out it was really easy for our team to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dragonboat is the planning tool we, as a product organization, were lacking for product roadmapping and quarterly alignment. Long gone are the the days of out-of-date excel spreadsheets and roadmap screenshots. Product, Engineering and Design can all collaborate in one single location for product prioritization, planning and resourcing. In addition, Project/Program Management can easily track progress thanks to the JIRA integration and easily communicate update to all stakeholders via the Dragonboat dashboard.

Dragonboat is a powerful tool that may require a bit of a learning curve to get properly setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
