Backlog vs. YouTrack

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.

We use it for both support and project management alike. It's not as bloated or indeed as expensive as Jira, so unless you have particularly complex requirements, YouTrack fits the bill in pretty much the same use cases as Jira does.

The interface is also a good deal nicer on the eye and less clunky than a lot of the Open Source (eg. Redmine) and enterprise (eg. Remedy).

It does have a customisable workflow for things like ticket age alerts. We don't make a great deal of use of this and had found that it can take a little fiddling if you want something very bespoke but it is clearly quite powerful.

• 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.

• We're actually very happy YouTrack users and have yet to come across a scenario where any of the team felt the product was lacking.

I would give 9 but one less because of the high price.

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.

You Track holds it's own against Jira considering the price difference. Jira does allow for more customization and can do more ultimately but You Track is not to be trifled with. With a powerfully intuitive UI it can arguably be a better choice for certain companies and individuals alike. They really did a great job.

• 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

• YouTrack is inexpensive and isn't something we question the value of when it comes to renewal
• The team and our clients have positive things to say about the product. This is often not the case with JIRA in my experience. Some snobbier project managers from other companies will grumble about software like YouTrack because it isn't familiar to them, but this attitude is misleading and unfair as the product is every bit as capable.
