Rally

Vorteile

Rally is the best tool I've used for agile development tracking. The UI is the clearest and the layout is the most intuitive I've seen on the market. It's so easy to display all defects or all stories, tasks, etc. I love the export functions and how simply one can customize own reports.

Nachteile

It is really expensive and hard to customize fields for sub-projects that are different than the parent projects.

Vorteile

- The most important feature that we use the on daily cadence is, managing projects, creating features, splitting up user stories for better management, time tracking, task managements for user stories to track the completion of the feature. We also create Dashboards for tracking and managing resources efficiently

Nachteile

- The support can be more effective for any queries or cases we create.
- There could be more UI features that the Rally product team can bring up for better user experience
- The pricing can be better when purchasing with bundles and packages with heavy user license

Vorteile

Rally GUI is so easy to use and seamless. It is the best software to track the user stories and update comments on it.

Nachteile

There is nothing to not like about this software. Everything about it is good.

Vorteile

I like the dragging option, the fact that it's not 100% customizable which makes it easy, one you learn it, to work with it. It makes tracking tasks and bugs quite easy and clear.

Nachteile

I'm missing better integration with other services, like GitHub. Also, I wish the UI would get a facelift so it would look better, cleaner and modern. Also, the way of adding user stories and defects takes a learning curve.

Vorteile

The project tracking with features, user stories and tasks are great.

You can get lost sometimes when you are navigating through things.

Vorteile

1. Easy to learn
2. Allows to keep track from Epic to task level efficiently
3. Helps in quick standup meeting updates
4. Good reports on project / sprint progress

Nachteile

There are too many options to achieve same result that often leads to confusion for new users

Vorteile

Tasks link to stories, stories link to features, ways to track everything. Allows you to provide a good amount of detail within the stories and acceptance criteria

Nachteile

too much effort to link stories to features, too hard to see the details on the features if they are similarly named. task creation and advancing is easy, but the page layout of stories is now convoluted and confusing

Vorteile

Really helps to manage user stories and planning for iterations. Managing back logs is this tool is helpful, so items are not missed or ignored.

Nachteile

Learning the tool took a while, training could be better.

Vorteile

Integration and customization support allow us to interface with our internal applications

Nachteile

Continue to expand the portfolio and program management roll up and reporting features

Vorteile

It's a great way to communicate company wide, easy to create user stories and breaking them down into tasks, the latest UI upgrade was a big improvment.

Nachteile

Gets laggy sometimes, can't see attached images properly once there is more than one image,
mostly small quirks, all in all it's a good product.

Vorteile

Allows customizable views, as in Kanban, for any needed software development methodology.

Nachteile

Very expensive software in which utilizing all of the features is definitely a challenge for management.

This tool is easy to access and faster in response. GUI is very simple and anyone can understand the functionalities easily

The application is often down and needs lot of maintenance window as it is down at least two weeks once

Vorteile

It is intuitive to create stories, break down to tasks and assign them to the team. The reporting features are very useful for executive summary in my monthly report. Easy to track the progress. It truly has the agile aspects build in for software development environment. The customizable dashboard allows you to track multiple projects and display the most important graphics on one screen.

Nachteile

The QA process is a little bit difficult to use. Since we are using a separate bug reporting system, it doesn't really integrate with it. The process of creating test cases and report defects are way too complicated for our environment. Overall, I don't have too much complaints against Rally.

Vorteile

IT is a ticket management software it does that well but thats about all it gets done well. It has many issuse.

Nachteile

My biggest complaint is that is is overly complicated and buggy. It constantly times you out and returns you to the home page rather than were you left off.

Vorteile

It is easy to use, easy to set up. Efficient to track user stories, defects. Easy to move items from one state to another.

Nachteile

Not so customizable as Jira. 1 defect can not be linked to 2 or more user stories.

Vorteile

Rally allows my team to create user stories, each with several tasks that can be tracked and updated. It helps to estimate timelines and offers a line of sight into each team member's progress.

Nachteile

The user interface can be confusing, especially when first getting acquainted with the software. I would appreciate a more stream-lined, intuitive interface.

Vorteile

Rally is critical software for Agile work environments. I just started using it, but it's fairly user friendly and has several features for the pro users out there.

Nachteile

As a new user, it is a tad difficult to get up and running. Wish it was a little more simple.

Vorteile

It can do nearly anything an agile team needs to manage process and organization of work

Nachteile

The UI is very bland and could really use some UX improvements

Vorteile

Easy to use, I got access and was able to use it without any training. It seems to be very intuitive when you have access set up correctly.

When projects/products/programs are created but not populated there is no information presented. Others have to authorize access as well.

Vorteile

Ease of use to manage Agile development process. Easily Manage User Stories, track task progress

Nachteile

Currently we manage bugs/issues in a separate software tool. We tried managing bugs through this software, din't like how bugs were converted to a User Story, rather than a task under a Story

Vorteile

Rally helped to plan work with sub tasks and it has some unique features. Test automation feature is very useful

Nachteile

required to be more user friendly and enable quick access. Dashboards like roadmap needs to be improved as well

Vorteile

We use rally to manage our agile projects. The options in the tool allow us to easily manage our user stories and track changes all the way up to production. We switched from another product, and found that rally had many more options and much more flexibility. The user interface is clean and intuitive, and flexible enough for our site to add our specific customizations

Nachteile

I have not found any cons yet, and am satisfied with the product.

Vorteile

easiness of update status, not update automatically to-do time,
