What differentiates Backlog from other similar products?

As a project manager who has to manage multiple projects simultaneously, I appreciate Backlog's integrated dashboard to have a good glance of projects at a single stop. I love the centralized dashboard that I can switch from one project to another. Backlog also offers integration with Slack that I can track the latest updates without logging into the platform.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Implementation takes almost no effort as the product features are so intuitive to use. Most of the features provide clear instructions on what to do. My team could start using it from day 1.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It has a limited native connector to other cloud solutions. It would be great If I could have more selections in connectors.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are managing a project that requires basic management in tasks, issues, and timelines, this is a good candidate to consider. It provides essential features for you to manage projects while being easy enough for your team to onboard.
