Super useful software, that's really well built with the option to make it more serious or leave little developer quips in.
Pros
Phabricator makes it really easy for you to move from setup to creating tasks and projects. It's secure, open source, multi-functional and honestly just amazing.
Cons
Not all the features are available right away, so it does require a little configuration to ensure it works the way you want it to.

Overall, I have enjoyed phabricator more than any of the alternatives I have used — it makes code review feel intuitive and lightweight; and integrate it in my daily workflow.
Pros
The ability to view code side-by-side; intelligent diff calculation; macros make reviewing fun; simple, intuitive and easy to understand state machine for the commit
Cons
Features outside of code review and browsing code are quite rudimentary, and as a result I end up using other tools for task management, etc.

I'm happy with the solution, but I sometime feel frustrated not being able to address/find proper solutions to what seems to be simple/common situations for this kind of tool
Pros
Phabricator is an easy to implement and free tool, that can be used as a task/bug manager/tracker. It's pretty versatile and offers various pre-installed tools/plugins, with a lot of possible parameters to play with in order to create Projects, related tasks and link this to your repository solution (we are using Git).
It offers the possibility to work with lists or board (kan-ban style), it has a free sprint plug-in that allows to Phabricator to be used as a scrum tool.
Being free and stand-alone, it allows integrators/developers to come up with their own scripts and/or plugins.
Cons
It's a bit confusing at first, since the information can be presented in different style, at different places and, therefore, can be interpreted in different ways. The development is slow and a lot of features requested by paying customers as much as free users seem to take a long time before being addressed. It's understandable but could be a downer for potential users.
The community behind it is not as active as other solutions, so finding a solution to your problem could take time and effort.

It's been good. Has most things in one tool (tasks, project management, code review, code explorer, paste bin etc).
Pros
It's simple.
Things work well within the system. You can refer objects by just their ids.
Code review is easy.
Task and project management is simple
Very good command line support
Cons
I love it.
The only thing that others may not like is that it's not as full featured as JIRA. But that may be a feature

It's a good product to have all of the bug reports in one place.
Pros
Good tool for users to contact and work with Engineers. Since Engineers might be staring at lines of code for hours, they will be slow to respond to emails. This is a good tool to contact them.
Cons
It looks very dated. It can be very hard to maneuver around if you are not familiar with the interface.
