"Pivotal Tracker"
5/5
What do you like best about VMware Tanzu Labs?

An easy to use management system that is a must have if you are working in a group environment. You can assign works to specific people and provide additional details so everyone would be on the same page. It's very easy to get started with as well, and they provide videos for anyone that might be confused with their user interface, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Tanzu Labs?

I think the system could use more of a click and drag interface like trello. Right now I use pivotal tracker because it looks a lot more professional and trello is more of a casual environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, opininated project management software"
5/5
What do you like best about VMware Tanzu Labs?

You can see everything that's going on in the same screen. Once you get used to working in a stacked ranked way and following the Pivotal process it can be extremely efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Tanzu Labs?

Ramping up to work in the Pivotal fashion takes some time and buy in from the team. If you have a very big project the amount of backlog can get quite intimidating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool, but too expensive"
2.5/5
What do you like best about VMware Tanzu Labs?

It's a great tool for fleshing out tickets and everything associated with them: screenshots, acceptance criteria, etc. I actually really enjoy using this tool because it makes productivity great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Tanzu Labs?

The cost is prohibitive. We only purchased a small amount of licenses at our company because it's so expensive which is leading us to look for alternative tools. Because not everyone in the company can use/access the tool, it weakens the level of transparency our company wants/lives by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommended if you are managing a software development project"
4.5/5
What do you like best about VMware Tanzu Labs?

I like the fact that I can glance at my project & tell which tasks are being worked upon, which ones are finished & by whom. I also like the ability to give points to the stories in order to determine the complexity, tag them & package the whole project into multiple EPICS(a business feature). That fact that I can mark a particular story as bug/chore/feature makes it highly optimized for Software Development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Tanzu Labs?

You need to understand few concepts such as stories/points/epics which are very specific to Pivotal Tracker which makes it little difficult for a new user. It also means that in order to use Pivotal Tracker effectively, you might need to have at least one team member who have had used this product beforehand or read pivotal help section comprehensively. But the thing is, it is these concepts that make Pivotal Tracker stand out from competitors & makes project management more efficient once you get a hang of it.

"Pretty usual and simple kanban board"
1.5/5
What do you like best about VMware Tanzu Labs?

- Markdown support.

- It is very simple.

- Integration with github (it shows commits affecting this task searching by #N in commit message) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Tanzu Labs?

- Default settings very questionable.

- Not possible to export tasks by filters

- inconvenient search (e.g. JIRA can suggest similar already create tickets, while creating new ticket)

- Need more linkable structure for tasks. E.g it is possible to create only subtasks of tasks, but sometimes need to organize tasks in dependencies, and all this need to do (sorting at least) manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
