YouTrack

Vorteile

This bug tracking software is remarkably easy to use, with a simple setup process and an intuitive interface that helps keep sprints clean, organized, and productive.

Nachteile

A significant con of YouTrack is the absence of adequate learning tools. This made it difficult for me to quickly get up to speed and tap into the platform's vast potential.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu YouTrack

YouTrack is known for its simplicity and ease to use. It is less expensive.

Vorteile

I really like the ability to freely adapt the layout of the agile boards

Nachteile

Unfortunately, most of the features I used to use are being withdrawn, forcing me to return to Notion.

I wanted to find something different. Notion had a lot of unnecessary options.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu YouTrack

It was much cheaper and had everything I needed

Vorteile

Onboarding was seamless from Jira / Confluence into YouTrack. It was able to ingest all our existing tickets, comments, attachments, custom fields, etc. without almost any manual configuration.

Nachteile

The UI is quite confusing and feels clunky. For example when you have multiple projects and looking for the "assigned to me" on individual projects, you have to navigate around before being able to then search. In our opinion.

Warum YouTrack gewählt wurde

Initially we were looking for a tool that would be faster and more responsive as we had issues with Jira / Confluence loading tickets very slowly which wasted precious seconds / minutes. Additionally, we didn't want to have to pay for Confluence separately, we wanted an all inclusive tool. YouTrack was an inexpensive alternative that seemed good at the onset.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu YouTrack

Inexpensive in comparison and the team liked YouTrack

Vorteile

It's super lightweight compared to Jira. The customizability is nearly infinite but easy to manage and understand. The import tool is very handy to retain historic information from other systems like Jira. They include a Confluence competitor without additional charges. Youtrack doesn't nickel and dime their customers like other solutions. It's truly a great value if you're willing to switch.

Nachteile

The permission structure of Youtrack is really hard to get right. Trying to assign the right permission to various teams and projects involves a lot of trial and error.

Vorteile

YouTrack has the feature of customizable workflows and automation. You can customize workflow according to your team's requirement. Jira also has customizable workflows, but with YouTrack, you can customize the workflow using JavaScript. You can write JavaScript code in the built-in JavaScript editor and customize the workflow.

Nachteile

YouTrack's mobile support is not that great. It doesn't provide all features same as that of desktop version. Jira provides almost every feature seamlessly in mobile version also.

Vorteile

The platform is very easy to use
It is picket friendly
Its ability to freely adapt the layout f the agile boards
It is highly customizable
It helps us track our clients work
It is very straightforward

Nachteile

Theres nothing wrong really with Youtrack it is genuinely the best

Vorteile

YouTrack offers a wide range of features, including issue tracking, agile boards, time tracking, and reporting.

Nachteile

YouTrack is packed with features, which can be overwhelming for individuals or small teams with basic needs. It might feel like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Vorteile

We can easily create tickets for reporting new bugs in any in-house software's, such as Content Management System, and since we can integrate YouTrack with Slack, these reports get auto-updated there as well.

Nachteile

Finding the tickets related to me takes a little time due to 'Assigned to me' feature being moved from direct access.

Vorteile

Available free version for small projects with unlimited reporters.

Nachteile

Works well as expected, plus there is option to switch to more advance version for a bigger project.

Vorteile

I adore how user-friendly and adaptable YouTrack is. It offers smooth connection with development tools and is both lightweight and powerful. It streamlines tracking and improves the effectiveness of project management!

Nachteile

Setting up the permission hierarchy can be challenging and involve some trial and error. Furthermore, the PC version has more extensive support than the mobile version.

Vorteile

The customizable nature of the software makes it a very interesting choice.

Nachteile

Some of the plugin functionality can be a little difficult to set up.

Vorteile

YouTrack offers the complete flexibility to do things that are out of the box like adding custom scripts to apply conditions to move a task or to integrate the whole software to a local attendance system using the APIs. If a user is highly enabled and equipped with customizing the features of YouTrack, almost anything can be done in aspects of project management. We have been using YouTrack for over 6 months and everybody has become used to it and happy with it because it has solved a big bunch of problems including the communication constraint.

Nachteile

YouTrack should be more user-friendly. In order to become a happy user, one needs to use it for at least a month to understand the environment and do basic stuff like creating projects, boards, or reports. It would not be wrong if I call it intimidating but believe me, it's worth it. The complexity of usage pays off once YouTrack is practiced enough with consistency.

Vorteile

- have a great and smart search tool , you can search by more than one criteria in the same time and in one input by separate it by specials characters
- have dynamic/ customize ticket workflow
- have smart reporting tool and you can pin it dashboard
- have cloud version and standalone

Nachteile

- we did not find any direct integration with visual studio

Vorteile

Ease of deployment comes first, the integration with TeamCity (CI) and the IDEA IDE itself is another thing worth mentioning, I also like the Android app. But the greatest thing is that you can freely use it with user limits on your own servers.

Nachteile

The upgrade process between different distributions like, war, jar, docker is not always the easiest.

Vorteile

Youtrack is a fantastic resource for keeping track of tasks and issues. The workflow is very team-oriented. I adore being able to assign tasks to particular team members and monitor their progress. This keeps projects well-organized and on schedule.

Nachteile

Sometimes the user interface (UI) is slow and clunky. Some of My team members have found dissatisfaction with the way YouTrack resolves bugs and issues.

Vorteile

Great super search feature and also good workflow customization

Nachteile

Take a lot of memory and the UI need more enhancements

Vorteile

*mostly intuitive
*multiple projects
*ticket linking

Nachteile

*user profile set up not intuitive
*Field set up not consistent

Vorteile

We use this for our daily tracking task. And i love the concept of this product.

Nachteile

I think the value of the price and lack of usabilities this web app can be improved more.

Vorteile

Predictive text. Can be better than a 1990's issue tracker.

Nachteile

"Youtrack issue" issues:

Sand Watch icon has to be the only thing highlighted in order to enter time. Why am I playing a small game of Myst with the new Youtrack Navigation Zone? Boards work funny. Attributes are a pain to update even more so.

From a user perspective it's annoying. From an API developer perspective, it's annoying.

Vorteile

1. The best thing i like the most is that you can set the priorities of your tickets like Critical, Major verify, Major, Normal so a developer can easily find out that on which tickets he/she have to work first.
2. If you are developing a project in a team then you can assign the tickets to the developers so that developer can easily work on those tickets which has been assigned to him/her.
3. After fixing the tickets you can also change the state of those ticket as Fixed and then after support team can easily test it and if it is fixed then tester can easily change the state to veified.

Nachteile

1. Still i did not find any cons in YouTrack.

Vorteile

It's very intuitive and makes keeping track of engineering tasks incredibly simple no. The search is fantastic also.

Nachteile

The search can be made very accurate when you understand some shortcuts to type into the search area. There was a learning curve with this.

Vorteile

YouTrack is very detailed to manage user stories/cards on boards and customizable for our business needs. There is also a free version to continue using YouTrack till our team grows. Before YouTrack, we were using project management solutions which did not fully meet our needs as we transitioned to lean and agile/scrum.

Nachteile

Our team uses Slack and integration with Slack would be great. Also, the learning curve for YouTrack is a bit high so we would have appreciated guide walkthroughs.

Vorteile

the filters that can be written to get the results and flexibly can filter the results to generate reports in various formats

Nachteile

the time report charts are not easy to build.

Vorteile

It's very customizable, basically you can do what you want

Nachteile

It's very powerful but... there is a lot of stuff to learn!

Vorteile

git integration, comments system, time tracking, easy re/assignment.

Nachteile

slightly dated site styling

Vorteile

It is the best app for managing projects and fixing bug or issues in the system of the workplace. It is also easy to use as it has a user-friendly or easy to use platform, whether what kind of level you do in being a tech-savvy.

Nachteile

There are times when the app can load slowly because of the many features it has.

Vorteile

The best thing about YouTrack is that it is affordable than those costly software's and is free for up to 10 users; and hence I use it to create, assign, and track tasks of my SEO Team.

Nachteile

Since it is not really for SEO, it lacks advanced SEO-specific features like keyword tracking, traffic analysis, etc.

Vorteile

Extremely easy to use and highly customisable for all our needs. It looks great and runs well. It makes it very use to use markdown. The search functionality is also very robust and works well

Nachteile

There are times where you have issues with it loading correctly and it takes a few refreshes to sort out.

Vorteile

Es un herramienta que ayudó mucho al equipo a gestionar las tareas de cada proyecto.

Nachteile

Hay demasiadas funcionalidades, y al inicio parece complicado de usar.

Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu YouTrack

Trello era demasiado sencillo para la gestión de tareas de un equipo grande.

Vorteile

I liked how easy it was to use, i’m rather fond of jet brains products so I really enjoyed how easy it was to integrate with clion as well.

Nachteile

As it is a jetbains product there maybe some platform related issues, I experienced these on my linux machine.

Vorteile

Molto ben realizzato e il fatto che per un'azienda delle nostre dimensione l'utilizzo sia gratuito lo rende molto interessante

Nachteile

Poche cose ma probabilmente migliorerano nel tempo

Vorteile

You are able to track time spent on issues using timers.

Nachteile

In order to assess the free plan , you need a team up to 10.

Vorteile

Creating and managing issues is simple. You can add details, attach files, and categorize tasks with tags. It’s easy to track what’s being worked on, who is working on it, and the task's status

Nachteile

While Youtrack works well with some popular tools, it doesn't have as many integrations as other tools like Jira. This can be a problem for teams using less common tools

Vorteile

It supports agile methodologies which makes the team work easier

Nachteile

It requires scripting knowledge for designing custom workflows which might be difficult for non technical people

Vorteile

YouTrack's configurable features are intriguing to me.

Nachteile

Some of its plugin features can be a little challenging to set up.

Vorteile

I would it is one of the most flexible tools in terms of project management. I liked the UI of the platform as it very is clean, fast and easy to understand.

Nachteile

While is it a great tool, it can get little difficult for someone new to understand the functions and the learning curve is bit steep.

Vorteile

Enables teamwork and allows us to record our conclusions directly in the ticket. It also serves as a source for tracking all of the work completed and the request's testing. A straightforward, adaptable interface that we can deploy for customers with less detail on the outside and within with greater detail. We are even able to incorporate Agile Project Management within it.

Nachteile

In Displaying Data sometimes it takes so long to get it out.

Vorteile

A facilidade de navegação, o modo como o aplicativo responde rapido

Nachteile

as vezes da alguns pequenos bugs e sai sozinho do aplicativo e as notificações da um pequeno problema.

Vorteile

I like it's free for small teams and that it's supported by JetBrains, my favourite company

Nachteile

The UI sometimes looks like a bit old in the days

Vorteile

Able to track projects and do reports with

Nachteile

Difficulty to set up with certain plugin and slow lading time.

Vorteile

Une bonne logiciels dans la gestion des tâches et très facile à utiliser

Nachteile

La planification des tâches est un peu moins grâce l'interface peu minimaliste

Vorteile

Ha mejorado enormemente la forma en que gestionamos proyectos y problemas en nuestro equipo

Nachteile

Para ejecutar YouTrack de manera eficiente, se requieren ciertos recursos técnicos, y esto puede ser un problema para equipos con recursos limitados.

Vorteile

I used YouTrack for managing my projects, and I was really impressed. It's super flexible, allowing me to change things like workflows and fields to fit exactly what my project needed. It was great because I could make it work just for us.

Nachteile

Integrating it with other software required understanding complex technical details, which was a bit challenging for me.

Vorteile

Abbiamo iniziato a usare Youtrack quando ci siamo trovati stretti con l'altro software che usavamo. La possibilità di creare action e workflow personalizzati è la cosa che ci ha cambiato il modo di lavorare. Ora abbiamo la possibilità di avere dei workflow, scritti in Javascript, direttamente su Youtrack per avere aggiornamenti istantanei sul nostro software di messaggistica

Nachteile

Richiede parecchio tempo per il setup, ma una volta effettuata la configurazione desiderata difficilmente si deve cambiare

Vorteile

Son workflow avec un avantage premier une interface multi-utilisateur qui permet une meilleure collaboration entre utilisateur du projet

Nachteile

La planification des projets et la gestion des tâches est moins efficiente à mon avis comme avec les autres logiciels de gestion des projets

Vorteile

excelente ferramenta para gestão de tarefas e projetos, possui recursos incríveis para planejamento e analises através de gráficos, para quem gosta.

Nachteile

Não é uma ferramenta tão simples de executar, requer um pouco de dedicação e estudo pra usufruir de todos os recursos disponíveis.

Vorteile

JIRA knockoff, simple copied all the good stuff…

Nachteile

Finding tickets is Close to imposibile sometimes.

Vorteile

It is so easy to use. I don't want to have to spend time setting up, fiddling with or figuring out software. This allows me to just glance at it, update it and move on. I rarely spend any time trying to figure out how to make it do what I need it to do.

Nachteile

There is a bit of setup for user permissions that needs to be managed. So you need someone assigned to manage the settings, and set up new projects. Once you have things set up there seems to be little time spent doing this.

Vorteile

It's easy to use not just for techies but end users. We use it as a customer support tool and with a simple cheat sheet, they are up and running very rapidly. The same is not true of JIRA which is a bit overwhelming for non-techies and is also way more expensive.

Nachteile

There's very little to find fault with. There are some minor gaps in functionality but nothing that's been a show stopper throughout the years of use.

Vorteile

YouTrack is in my opinion, THE best project management and tracking tool there is. While it doesn't have a bucketload of features, or does not come on the cheap side, it does what is does extremely well. I love its UI and UX, it really makes using YouTrack a pleasure. I love its take on making tasks and managing them via boards. It is so easy to create a task, assign it's priority and notify the people concerned. I also especially love its Git integration, which makes working it with a second nature when you are coding and you want to make a commit. If you are serious about getting a project management tool, please try this once. You will love it!

Nachteile

I really dislike that there is not an integrated communication platform like Basecamp in YouTrack. But it has a Slack integration, which is handy and useful. I also don't like that you don't have much theme choices, as for a tool that I will be using everyday, I would like a bit more of layouts, customizations and themes. And also, sometimes uploading files can be a buggy experience. Videos may take a long time to play, some files are indicated as uploaded but you can't view them immediately. These occur very rarely, but are a nuisance for sure.
