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

    Pigeon Messengr functions well as a general communication tool. In my experience, the only area it is not well suited for is transferring documents with specialized file formats. I also am not aware of what its auditability is like, but we are using it so it must be there.

    Pros
    GitKraken (formerly Axosoft)
    • Customizable workflow steps help organize projects

    • Notifications - I can minimize the window while I'm working and new messages will pop up on my screen so I don't have to remember to check the channel.
    • Statuses - we always put up a status of what we're working on, I like how you can hover over user names and it will show you their statuses.
    • Overall look - I don't know if my company chose the color scheme but it's really sharp. Also love that I can use Dark Mode, easier on my eyes for sure!

    Cons
    GitKraken (formerly Axosoft)
    • 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    • User Interface isn't entirely user friendly and looks a bit outdated

    • Sometimes a message will get broken up and I am unable to view it all at once.
    • It would be nice if it had a way to select a message as being unread. I like to leave messages unread as reminders but sometimes need to just read them first.
    • It won't allow me to upload a picture because it has to be of a very small size. Would be more personal if I could use a picture on my profile.

    Usability
    GitKraken (formerly Axosoft)
    Over the years, I have used many Git tools, but GitKraken stands out. It's now my favorite Git tool by far—excellent graphical overview of the branches, straightforward usage of all functionality, and lots of integration available. Currently, I am using GitKraken to connect to the ADO and quickly create PRs, using gitflow and tracking the work of my team mates.

    Occasionally, files can take forever to upload and download, and the calendar integrations also don't work sometimes.

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

    Pigeon Messengr has everything in one, although there are some things that could be improved, what product doesn't? I prefer it over some of the other platforms because it is more organized for our business needs and communications, and it has several updates a month to make sure everything is working properly.

    I have not noticed any issues for a company of about 400 employees. I imagine the channel functionality would enable fairly unlimited scaling.

    • Positive - less time wasted on emails
    • Positive - less expensive than having a chat tool and a video tool (and phones!)
    • Negative - sometimes tone is hard to convey in text, and this has led to a couple of misunderstandings
