Assembla vs. GitKraken

Assembla works well when you are working with multiple groups or entities. We dealt with different time zones, different levels of involvement with the projects, etc so this allows for us to have responses back in a quicker fashion. It also helps us clue in the appropriate people and rely less on following multiple email chains

The software is easy to use and share within our team. Licensing and setup is straightforward. The product just works and we love it.

• Timing Out - when editing a story or bug, occasionally Axosoft will time out and all changes will be lost
• Viewing past sprints can be hard to locate
• Multiple users within a Story - Axosoft could do a better job managing multiple users on the same story
• User Interface isn't entirely user friendly and looks a bit outdated

Once you get the hang of Axosoft, I think it's easy to use however... getting the hang of it takes quite a bit of time. Additionally, once Axosoft makes an update, it can be difficult to find your bearings again. Like I said, once you know how to use the product, I think it's easy but it takes a bit to become comfortable and confident with Axosoft

We selected Assembla because the ticket functionality worked well with our agile planning format that we use company wide.

I actually like JIRA better, to me the UI is a lot cleaner. Easier to use, and search tickets.

• We were able to spend less time tracking down the status of projects.
• We could become more self-sufficient on reviewing prior resolutions to help with current problems.
• Tasks were responded to quickly because we did not have to email one person, wait for an out of office email and then try someone else. Our task got assigned to the next available person.

• Productivity bump for developers over previous software
• Code is never gone forever and can be found if needed
• Allows us to collaborate and finish projects faster
