We track not only reported issues/incidents, but also the planned project tasks to have overview who is working on and what is the backlog of all unassigned tasks.
Pros
In addition, GantChart is really usable with several options for grouping, automatic issue creation from email is also useful to support our clients and track how our internal specialists perform.
Cons
It is not possible to create links/relations in GantChart helping to display dependencies and reschedule the project tasks when something happen - now all issues have to be moved manually.

Its a good project management and bug tracking tool.
Pros
- Backlog is quite faster in terms of search - Dashboard and other projects related stuffs are well organized - Rich functionalities for project management
Cons
One thing I noticed in Backlog is listing of parent issue and sub issue, its showing both of them when we assigned an issue to some parent issue, it should only show the parent one and when click on that parent issue it will open up the sub issues if it have any.

Pros
I especially love the Gantt Chart and how each it is to use.

I wish I could change when I create a task if it was already Closed, Resolves or In Progress instead of always clicking each task and changing it manually.

Various team planning projects organized with the developers, organizers of activities, the testing and support team.
We can track the issue's status but its does not have completion percentage of the issue. Improve UI
It has an intuitive design and is quite easy to use.
Pros
Feature rich project management tool that does more than just manage stories and tasks at a project level.
Cons
As with any tool that has increased features and capabilities, there is a bit of a learning curve when compared to other products.

Backlog has helped us better track software bugs and issues reported by our clients.
Pros
I like the way Backlog helps us keep track of bugs and issues and which member of our team is assigned to them.

I think the next iteration of the Backlog interface could go a long way to make the tool easier to use, smoother, and even more useful.

Overall excellent app for a great cost that your team has control over. You get to pay for the level your team will use without the burden of overwhelming excess features. Definitely recommend.
Pros
It's quick to learn and the UI is sleek and appealing.
Cons
There's room for more options and features (more specificity in the prioritization area, maybe) but it has all the essentials from what I can tell.
