I find the easy setup and migration from different platforms a standout feature of Assembla. The support team is really helpful, especially when we have configuration problems or need something specialized. Without Assembla, we'd be spending a lot more time and resources on having an internal development operations team. I also value the painless support and how easy it was to set everything up. We discussed our needs with an Assembla account manager, and their enterprise team handled the entire migration, which was smooth, with only a very small switchover period.

Having tried multiple ticketing and source control systems over decades of work, I find that "Assembla" functionality just works, and integrates well. Not something you can say about Github. The integration between repo's, tickets, wiki and everything else is hard to find elsewhere.

Cheaper and faster than JIRA - what's not to like?!
