Axway AMPLIFY Platform vs. GitKraken

It's a great application to backup your data automatically to the cloud and then access later. The automatic restore of certain folders is handy and one less thing to worry about when you're setting up a new PC again. I haven't really encountered any issues with Syncplicity to have any thoughts where it could be improved or where it wouldn't work.

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

• By default, it is setup to backup my Desktop Shortcuts, My Documents, and my Internet Explorer Favorites folders. When I sign into a new PC, it automatically syncs these items, making it easy for my data to travel with me.
• I'm able to easily share my items/folders with coworkers, granting them read or read/write access as required.
• I like that items that are shared with me allow me to choose to sync them to my PC or not. This allows me to sync smaller items like documents and spreadsheets, but keep things like webex recordings stored in the cloud and not using up gigabtyes of space on my PC. :)
• I like that, during times when I want to free up resources, I can pause the syncing of files.

• Customizable workflow steps help organize projects
• Time tracking down to seconds helps to estimate sprints
• Burndown charts let you know when to plan your next release

• I would appreciate it if it backed up more than just Desktop, Favorites and Documents by default. I'm not sure if this was something chosen by my employer, but it would be nice if the whole profile folder was backed up by default, so my pictures, music, and videos folders were included.

• 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• User Interface isn't entirely user friendly and looks a bit outdated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

I use CrashPlan for my personal PC at home. I think both products have their pluses and minuses. Both products allow you to backup your selected data to the cloud. CrashPlan doesn't easily allow for file sharing (CrashPlan isn't really a collaboration tool as much as it is a backup tool). Both products have easy restore options. However Syncplicity automatically restoring certain data when syncing with a new PC is very handy and a feature that CrashPlan doesn't offer

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

• The ease of use saves me a lot of time.
• Being able to easily share files with my coworkers also saves me time.
• This allowed my company to reduce the size of our file server and in doing so, reduced our storage budget.

• 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
