Recensioni su Assembla

Great Project Management Tool Unfortunately Super-Seeded

Commenti: Tracked and version controlled website releases. Easy oversight of website epics, stories and tasks.

Aspetti positivi:

Reliability, I've used Assembla for more than 10 years and I do not recall any significant downtime, sure there were some issues but they were typically resolved within an hour. It does work as a method by which to manage your software development, a repository (SVN or GIT) is built into the solution.

Aspetti negativi:

It's expensive for what it is, it isn't that versatile (for example, you can't modify the status's to customise your status or workflow) and the pricing recently once the ownership changed hands. Depending on your user count, Bitbucket and JIRA may compare more favourably. The application really hasn't continued to evolve that much since I first signed up 10 years ago.

The Best SVN Repo Out There

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

Aspetti positivi:

SVN is arguably the most popular Version Control system out there; and, with tools like VisualSVN and Tortoise (all integrate into Windows and Visual Studio perfectly), it makes perfect sense to use this tool. Highly recommended.

Aspetti negativi:

There was one or two features that were not well-documented and easy to use; but, with the great support Online, they were easily mastered.

Can not try

Aspetti positivi:

- can not try product emial "Unfortunately we not longer offer a free trial of Assembla Enterprise Self-Hosted."

honest opinion

Commenti: Even with its flaws it's a good option over git and svn, it has a nice webapp to help you keep track of the project and source files.

Aspetti positivi:

It seems very secure, and I love the fact that you can see which files others have checked out, that's huge thing when working with a big team.

Aspetti negativi:

It's super slow when you need to revert files or when you added 2k files to a submit queue and you decide not to move forward with the submit. That will take a lot of time and it's really annoying. One last thing is that is a pain in the ass for new users especially for artists to setup perforce, perforce should have automated tools to setup your workspace, like a wizard to ask you about the basics. Having to open the command to type manual commands is not intuitive.

Assembla Review

Aspetti positivi:

It has deep integration of source control system with their project management tool so you can track commits using the same view/page that you use for tracking ticket comments.

Aspetti negativi:

Assembla was acquired by some other company and the first thing they did is to raise the price. In short time, from one of the cheapest products, they become one of the most expensive products. And that change was very fast and ugly; I remember that we needed to add just one additional member to the team and they said to us that we are on legacy plan, and that we need to move to their standard plan, and pay something like 5-10X more for the same service. Instead of paying more, we moved to Jira :-)

I started using Assembla two years ago for 18 months daily

Commenti: I can get information about my task, my priority, sprint, estimated, change, acceptance criteria

Aspetti positivi:

It provides what needed functionalities for collaboration. Like mentioning, notification, workflow, repositories, recent activities. Especially the recent activities, that was the first to go when I opened Assembla. I could find who mentioned me, what card I was following, etc.

Aspetti negativi:

This tool is great for a big team that needs everything in one package. Although it comes with reasonable price, it is still expensive, not my choice for small / starter team.

Fantastic.

Aspetti positivi:

This product helped me and my teammates get projects done fast and easily. I loved the ticket system and the cardwall.

Aspetti negativi:

The UX needed a little bit of revamping. I prefer my apps to be stupid simple. I felt this app was a little more smarter than I wanted.

Asseembla

Commenti: One of the best tool in industry to managing, distribution, launching and sharing agile projects, websites and apps. It has a great reporting tool.

Aspetti positivi:

Very good software to task management and cloud based SVN control which you can manage any corner of world. You can easily create and manage tickets and keep time track. Software or code management is easy and really benefits among the developers and teams.

Aspetti negativi:

Bit expensive for small teams. Some times while opening ticket the page went blank before showing anything.

A good software for planning projects

Commenti: It has Sleek design and easy to understand. Assignments and priority are easy to adjust too.

Aspetti positivi:

This software offer a good UI and powerful usability, and have a comprehensive bouquet of all the necessary features.

Aspetti negativi:

The search function did not make sense. Data is not aligned properly and doesn't look pretty good, I think those could be improve.

Software administration that is straightforward and focused

Aspetti positivi:

Assembla enables our team to coordinate and execute while maintaining complete visibility of what everyone is doing. Collaboration is undoubtedly a key component. The interface is simple to use and useful for project management. What I appreciate best about it is how simple it is to use, allowing anyone to import or export projects to the repositories. I truly like having a ticket area where I can submit issues to my coworkers. SecureGit, which offers strict security criteria, is included in Assembla.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish organisations were more strong, and search in particular is underwhelming. At times, user registration has proved problematic. Sometimes the invitations are not received, and it is difficult to resend them. Except for the most astute user, planning releases, running reports on estimates vs. actual time spent, and comparing that across several projects is nearly impossible.

new user

Commenti: Later

Aspetti positivi:

I'm just using this software recently presented by my customer.

Aspetti negativi:

it's like a good software. It's usefull to communicate

Great collaboration tool

Commenti: Good.

Aspetti positivi:

It's very easy to create repositories and start to work with your colleagues.

Aspetti negativi:

I had no difficulties. I met assembla in 2012 and have recommended it to others. Collaborative work has made it much easier for me. I only have one problem but it isn't specifically related to Assembla, but with Tortoise Subversion. On files that weight around or more than 25 mb or for a large set of assets, it's very common to fail (more than 90% of times). I have to upload separetely all the files and directories. I know it isn't assembla issue, but maybe you can tweek something or have a conversation with Tortoise SVN support to find the reason. This always happens, since I started to use the tool. Related to this issue, is that if you fail with tortoise, they dont have an automatic try upload or to save the assets it could done from all the bunch, because you have to try again and again and again, unselecting some of them until you have a success upload. This take time and its frustrating. Maybe you can recommend to fix this or to let us know about how to solve or how to use another tool whitout having inconveniences when exporting or migrating. Thanks.

Assembla

Commenti: As an engineer I am satisfied with Assembla reporting capabilities and task tracing. It is helpful to revert/find certain activities for reference.

Aspetti positivi:

For people who work with computer on a daily basis (not programmers) it is good tool to report work and tasks progress. It has nice integration with Slack communicator. There are also other tricks and integrations that IT people can benefit from.

Aspetti negativi:

People who work less on a office-based routine it is harder to report and follow tasks in Assembla (non programmers). While exporting pdfs and attached images are too big files, output file is not clear. It is tricky or impossible to create subspace/subtickets for part-time subcontractors without giving them access to all other tickets in the space/company. You need to spend some time on reporting directly in Assembla (15min minimum) - cos of having things properly reported.

Assembla

Aspetti positivi:

Task management is our favorite feature. Some users utilize Cardwall and other project tracking tools. But primarily task assignment and tracking.

Aspetti negativi:

We always need better ways to document processes. The Wiki provided does not sufficiently serve that purpose. Perhaps it is the limited formatting for complex heirarchical work. Not sure. Other team members use Confluence and claim it to work better for documentation.

Simple, Intuitive, and Collaborative

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

Aspetti positivi:

Simple to use and a great collaborative tool for our global employees.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing

assembla review

Aspetti positivi:

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

Aspetti negativi:

You cannot edit a time enter (the time tab in a ticket page)

Good service deteriorated into cash grab

Commenti: It was good while it lasted. Gone and not coming back.

Aspetti positivi:

Solid fundamentals, easy to onboard new users, it has all necessary features.

Aspetti negativi:

"All coupons have been discontinued" as an excuse for cancelling a 5 years old agreement and hiking price by 300%.

Worst Customer Service

Aspetti positivi:

The softwar has been good for years . Though no major updates :)

Aspetti negativi:

Your customer service is really really pathetic. I understand you guys are trying to put in some system in place. But people just keep "circling back" with more like automated messages. They literally use that phraseand just keep circling back. They dont really give proper solutions. We have paid and still we get emails asking if it is paid . Seriously pathetic

Overall Awesome Product

Commenti: We use Assembla for all our source control needs for multiple projects
The markdown syntax for the WIKI is super useful
Love the File storage interface
Overall this its a well thought of product with good support and really good up time.

Aspetti positivi:

Good SVN Support for Source Code Clean Interface WIKI File Storage Up Time

Aspetti negativi:

Not faced any recently, so NONE!

Feels Kind of Old

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

Aspetti positivi:

Task management in the application is simple and effective.

Aspetti negativi:

The UI is bizarre and very old-fashioned. The software feels like it was designed in 2011. There is no tight integration with Github, which is a clear deficiency of Assembla. It is also VERY chatty and seems to send email about everything.

Easy to use

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

Organization of ticket view, ability to share information with colleagues, and ease of use.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish it had a multiple image upload rather than having to drag the image into the comment box.

Critical part of our business, highly valued

Commenti: Very good - would highly recommend

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use, great visibility into where everything is at.

Aspetti negativi:

It can be a bit glitchy at times, but issues are resolved quickly.

Assembla for ticket management

Aspetti positivi:

allowed good information exchange between Marvell and Nokia. It has helped us to raise tickets and get solutions.

Aspetti negativi:

poor workflow functionalities. Maybe a configuration issue (meaning the person who set it up for our needs did not implement a solid workflow - so not a problem of the tool but more of using the tool)

A great online source control for projects

Commenti: A great software to use for source control on your projects.

Aspetti positivi:

Assembla is great at managing large digital projects, not only within an office, but also when working with people remotely. Assembla's source control functionality is what you expect, but I also really like their ticket system when projects can be defined in a very goal oriented way and then tracked through their life.

Aspetti negativi:

The price is good for small teams, but once the team starts to get bigger, or you add people who won't be permanent, but you need them added for a short time, it can start to get pricey.
