Assembla

Linux

Web-based

Windows

Replacement Incharge

All features like Task management, Integrated development environment, Task Schedule are the best in assemble and it makes daily work more comfortable doing.

Developer

The product is easy to use, the most important feature that I use everyday is the the Tickets and Wiki sections. The cardwall view is excellent.

President & CEO

Great service (backing up software on the Cloud is a must-have) for the money.

Team Leader / Software Engineer

I don't like that there is no emergency line as it should be in Kanban theory. I can't customise priorities.

Video production

Why are these different. I only use Assembla when I have to and it's always painful.

Principal Software Engineer

I loved the tool, and sort of accepted it's ways of doing things.

Web Developer

Right click and open in a new tab is awful because the tab takes over the window so to open multiple I need to right click, open in new tab, switch back to the previous tab, rinse and repeat.

Hwardare techinical leader

Can easy find desired features, and easy to install or use.

Tech Lead

Overall our experience with Assembla has been positive and it is indispensable to our workflow.

Director IT

Your customer service is really really pathetic. I understand you guys are trying to put in some system in place.

Principal Engineer

I can't tell how much of this is due to problems in Assembla, or due to our corporate security.

R&D engineer

There are also other tricks and integrations that IT people can benefit from.

Applied R&D engineer

Pretty ok interface for that purpose. Automatic notifications about ticket updated in browser tab's is pretty cool and handy feature.

(A)Manager Business Support and Development

Easy to track progress of assigned work, I was able to track work, provide comments in the tracking tool instead of using email.

Associate Dean

This elevated our customer service and allowed us to more swiftly tackle issues and to keep on track with our project development.

There is a cost for each user, which limited the number the roles that were provided access to this tool.

Systems Development Manager

Ease of creating tickets, by pasting in/ uploading documents quickly.

programmer

Is easy to use and really helpfull with the flow of work.

Airtable

Rally

Trello

Very positive on Assembla.  We have used Assembla for 5+ years.  The new enhancements are great.  Really appreciate how Assembla listens to their clients feedback and takes action(s) on their recommendations. 

Great Project Management tool for Software Development

It's one of the application which we use for our work has no downtime.

Any query raised, is answered in kind of no time. 

Managing & Controlling the Code is So Easy with Assembla 

Hasn't kept pace with competitors

Assembla is a great platform that helps me on software development. I reached Assembla when I was looking for a reliable SVN server. Besides that, Assembla provides lots of tools that turns easier manage our software projects. My team is very happy using Assembla

This is a good tool for smaller teams, but I would like if they didn't raise their prices so much.

Good tool for project management

Overall, we've been happy with Assembla, other than the pricing. It is easy to link from one area of a project to another and user management is a breeze.

Good product, but a little pricey

Good tool for very small teams

Assembla was a tool we used for a short amount of time while I joined my company, but I quickly dropped it and moved to Jira. (frankly after jira updates I wouldn't recommend either for small teams). Assrmbla was basic, offering no reporting as a project tool, and basic scrum options. I would not recommend this to manage your development work flows. 

Project tool review only: An outdated step-down from other project tools

Our company has a large number of ongoing projects with even more milestones in progress at the same time split by teams.  Assembla has been helping us have a smooth and uniform process.

Gets the job done

Good Look and Functionality 

Overall our experience with Assembla has been positive and it is indispensable to our workflow. While it would be possible to replace it with another product, it would not be without the pain of changing how we work to accommodate the tool.

When GitHub issues just don't work

Task management and scheduling is the best feature that helps in my work to grow daily. 

 Best Software in all terms. 

I used to be a passionate fan.  But they turned greedy and evil, so now I am left with nothing but bitterness.

Used to be great, then they got greedy

Overall, we like the service as the pros far outweigh the few cons.

Good value and reliable service

An incredible tool for our software development.  Simple to use and a great collaborative tool.  I highly recommend this as a great PM tool.

Simple, Intuitive, and Collaborative

It's a simple tool that is overly complex to use. 

Feels Kind of Old

In my experience, Assembla is a very easy application to use. I like how you can organize your ticket view to however you want to experience the app. I usually filter it so it only shows tickets assigned to myself so I don't get lost in other people's information. Overall, I would definitely recommend Assembla to someone looking for a productivity tool for the workplace.

Easy to use
