User Testimonials
	Backlog	Linear App
Likelihood to Recommend	Nulab, Inc. The user interface is very good. It is more intuitive in nature. It is easy to use and robust in operation. The dashboard is designed on modernized UI and the interface is also intuitive. I can easily navigate things on my own.

Pros	Nulab, Inc. Gantt chart Github support Incentivized Sanyam Jain RPA Consultant Read full review	Linear No answers on this topic
Cons	Nulab, Inc. The biggest drawback that I want Backlog to fix as soon as possible is that is does not provide any place to explain the problem or bug virtually. There is a need for a tab or space to attach screenshot or video to easily explain the bug or problem in the project.

Support Rating	Nulab, Inc. I would give 9 but one less because of the high price. Incentivized Sanyam Jain RPA Consultant Read full review	Linear No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Nulab, Inc. Backlog has all of the top-notch features to increase productivity, visibility, and project tracking. Backlog is easy to use. I first just logged in to the platform and it was [ready] to go. I easily started working on it and it started giving me the bugs’ details on our project. Always available for queries. Listen to the queries very attentively and try to give a solution on the go if applicable. Otherwise, take some time and respond with the advanced workable solution in the limited time frame.

Return on Investment	Nulab, Inc. Software interns get easily used to this tool. One who works in the SDLC gets recognized and it's easy to track rank board. Incentivized Sanyam Jain RPA Consultant Read full review	Linear No answers on this topic
