Considered Both Products
Aha! Roadmaps
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
ProductBoard was used in the organization when I arrived, but after assessing ProductBoard, I felt it was too lightweight for our ambitious product goals. It's also critical, especially in a startup, that we focus our limited capacity on the work that matters most. Aha! far and …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Compared to some other types of software we've tested or use in other areas of the company Aha! has a better user interface, has more customization ability and grows with the company and the work we're doing.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
I initially tried to do this using Notion but without an API to integrate it is all very manually driven when any updates are made in ADO, I would have to hunt it out.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
I've worked with other homemade tools and Jira, Confluence as well. They are more tailored for the developers' community than Product and Program managers.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
In terms of outright features, a lot of roadmapping tools have the same feature set. We chose Aha! based on look-and-feel, the easy learning curve, and the reviews it has. Between collaboration, milestone tracking, comment threads, and content importing and exporting, we had …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Jira is centered around product development, whereas Aha! is centered around product management and road-mapping. Both allow for planning and tracking, but Aha! is more user-friendly.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha has more features continually being released as a Product Management tool. In comparison to ProductPlan, Aha has more complex features and increased support for getting organizations up and running on the platform. They also provide migration tools to determine what data …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Jira has a lot more bells and whistles. It was easier to see how different teams across the (larger) company were prioritizing their own work against all of the incoming requests, and to see how those ideas mapped across the current and next springs. However, it was necessary …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
In terms of product road-mapping, Aha! beats its competitors upfront. Aha! is one of the best tool to visualize your product strategy. However, JIRA in terms of PRDs, gives a complete environment in its own. Aha! is for product managers only. If Tech needs to be involved, JIRA …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! definitely does more than either Pivotal Tracker or JIRA. We still use JIRA to track tasks by department, but for strategy everything is in Aha! and aligns all of our other project/task trackers including integrating with Salesforce so we're able to work within every …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
We selected Aha over the other options as our specific goal and need was to align as a Product Management team across all our lines of business. While other products did well, the customized abilities of Aha, price points, and Atlassian integration tools made it a clear choice.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! is a better fit for the specific type of strategic planning that I do. The other tools are more intended for other grains of planning and/or execution.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Best, power-user tool for product management
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Google Drive is much easier to learn and use but Aha! is much better at keeping important information relevant.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! is completely different compared to the other products I've evaluated. I would compare Aha! to Atlassian/Jira. It's great for agile teams to do weekly sprints and breakdown large features/product upgrades into individual tasks.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! is slightly more complex and nuanced than Trello, which is nice. Trello feels like a digital sticky note system sometimes.
It's more straightforward in UI and collaboration than Workfront or Workamajig without all the extra (seemingly unnecessary) features, like scoping …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Wizeline is an up-and-comer in this space. At the time we considered them, the solution was not robust enough to manage a large backlog or multiple products with a Jira integration. They are adding features rapidly, though, and every release is very robust.
Kure
Chose Kure
Trello didn't allow us to assign as many tasks or upload images as easily as Kure. The cards in which you create are small so it's hard to put as much detail on those in order to completely communicate with the team. The organization of the cards got a little overwhelming and …
Chose Kure
I don't have anything that I'm willing to share.

User Testimonials
Aha! RoadmapsKure
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Aha! is the all around product management tool. You need something once you build out a product management role and grow beyond a small scrum team with one or two products. JIRA, Pivotal, and project management tools don't cut it for aligning [engineering] with product initiatives once the backlog starts to scale.
  • On the other hand, there are several unfinished features that my peers all admit to having to work around: Capacity Planning, Salesforce Integration, Roadmap Display Flexibility, User Feedback, etc. This year has been all about reporting in terms of feature releases. As Aha! grows, they will fill in these other areas, so stay tuned.

Cons
  • Notes - There's not a great place to leave lots of notes or instructions, almost like a Confluence page. Although not required, it would be nice to have this built in.
  • Learning curve - As with most new tools, there's a bit of a learning curve to become proficient.

Usability
I think Aha! works really in general, it offers a very comprehensive and well-structured platform that supports strategic product management at scale. Although there is a learning curve for new users and a few areas to be improved. Overall, it is highly usable for experienced product teams who need a robust roadmap tool.

Support Rating
We've always had excellent support whenever we need help from the company or need questions answered regarding the setup and installation of the product. Tickets are answered in a timely fashion and there's minimal back and forth to get issues resolved, which are rare.

Alternatives Considered
productboard was used in the organization when I arrived, but after assessing productboard, I felt it was too lightweight for our ambitious product goals. It's also critical, especially in a startup, that we focus our limited capacity on the work that matters most. Aha! far and away had superior capabilities in defining strategy directly in the product and associating all of our work to the strategy. Aha! is a serious product management tool and I found productboard to be more of a simple backlog management tool.
