Gidon Leizer Director of Product Management Chose Aha! Roadmaps I've worked with other homemade tools and Jira, Confluence as well.

Between collaboration, milestone tracking, comment threads, and content importing and exporting, we had … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aha! Roadmaps Jira is centered around product development, whereas Aha! is centered around product management and road-mapping. Both allow for planning and tracking, but Aha! is more user-friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aha! Roadmaps Aha has more features continually being released as a Product Management tool. In comparison to ProductPlan, Aha has more complex features and increased support for getting organizations up and running on the platform. They also provide migration tools to determine what data … Incentivized Helpful? Susmita Paul Analytics Associate Chose Aha! Roadmaps Jira has a lot more bells and whistles. It was easier to see how different teams across the (larger) company were prioritizing their own work against all of the incoming requests, and to see how those ideas mapped across the current and next springs. However, it was necessary … Incentivized Helpful? Himanshu Singh Product Manager Chose Aha! Roadmaps In terms of product road-mapping, Aha! beats its competitors upfront. Aha! is one of the best tool to visualize your product strategy. However, JIRA in terms of PRDs, gives a complete environment in its own. Aha! is for product managers only. If Tech needs to be involved, JIRA … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aha! Roadmaps Aha! definitely does more than either Pivotal Tracker or JIRA. We still use JIRA to track tasks by department, but for strategy everything is in Aha! and aligns all of our other project/task trackers including integrating with Salesforce so we're able to work within every … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aha! Roadmaps We selected Aha over the other options as our specific goal and need was to align as a Product Management team across all our lines of business. While other products did well, the customized abilities of Aha, price points, and Atlassian integration tools made it a clear choice. Incentivized Helpful? Jarod Bonino Senior Product Manager Chose Aha! Roadmaps Aha! is a better fit for the specific type of strategic planning that I do. The other tools are more intended for other grains of planning and/or execution. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Aha!

Roadmaps I was not a decisionmaker for this product. Incentivized Helpful? Leah Sevey Head of Customer Success Chose Aha! Roadmaps Aha! is completely different compared to the other products I've evaluated. I would compare Aha! to Atlassian/Jira. It's great for agile teams to do weekly sprints and breakdown large features/product upgrades into individual tasks. Incentivized Helpful? Jess Hutton UX Specialist Chose Aha! Roadmaps Aha! is slightly more complex and nuanced than Trello, which is nice. Trello feels like a digital sticky note system sometimes.

Ross Reynolds Senior Director of Product Chose Aha! Roadmaps Wizeline is an up-and-comer in this space. At the time we considered them, the solution was not robust enough to manage a large backlog or multiple products with a Jira integration.

Jason Ogden, President President / Partner Chose LivePlan I've tested Fathom.

User Testimonials
	Aha! Roadmaps	LivePlan
Likelihood to Recommend	Aha! is the all around product management tool. You need something once you build out a product management role and grow beyond a small scrum team with one or two products. JIRA, Pivotal, and project management tools don't cut it for aligning [engineering] with product initiatives once the backlog starts to scale. On the other hand, there are several unfinished features that my peers all admit to having to work around: Capacity Planning, Salesforce Integration, Roadmap Display Flexibility, User Feedback, etc. This year has been all about reporting in terms of feature releases. As Aha! grows, they will fill in these other areas, so stay tuned. Ross Reynolds Senior Director of Product Read full review	All businesses require solutions and tools for organization and control of expenses, spreadsheets were always the first option, but since the arrival of LivePlan, all work is easier and more automated. With LivePlan we have charts and graphs that are automatically created based on our data, this is a great time and money saver. LivePlan is a tool that has worked from day one and has met our expectations in creating the total budget. Incentivized Maggie Harder Lawrence Business Sales Manager Read full review
Pros	Work breakdown - it allows teams to do initiatives, capabilities features and stories all in the same product release. Roadmapping - allows for simple combined visual plan of work breakdown across multiple initiatives. Customization - allows different levels of work breakdowns to be available on different projects. Integration with Rally and other tools. Incentivized Benjamin M Berry Lead Advocate, Enterprise Data Management Read full review	Great for startups that are still working on their idea. Preparing for pitching and presenting. People don't need business knowledge in order to write a professional business plan, everything is explained in details. Simplicity. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Notes - There's not a great place to leave lots of notes or instructions, almost like a Confluence page. Although not required, it would be nice to have this built in. Learning curve - As with most new tools, there's a bit of a learning curve to become proficient. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	UX: It's beyond time for an overhaul, especially on mobile. It can make the app seem dated. The accounting software integration has been prone to break and need to be re-setup, though that seems to have improved. Incentivized Jason Ogden, President President / Partner Read full review
Usability	I think Aha! works really in general, it offers a very comprehensive and well-structured platform that supports strategic product management at scale. Although there is a learning curve for new users and a few areas to be improved. Overall, it is highly usable for experienced product teams who need a robust roadmap tool. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	We've always had excellent support whenever we need help from the company or need questions answered regarding the setup and installation of the product. Tickets are answered in a timely fashion and there's minimal back and forth to get issues resolved, which are rare. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	productboard was used in the organization when I arrived, but after assessing productboard, I felt it was too lightweight for our ambitious product goals. It's also critical, especially in a startup, that we focus our limited capacity on the work that matters most. Aha! far and away had superior capabilities in defining strategy directly in the product and associating all of our work to the strategy. Aha! is a serious product management tool and I found productboard to be more of a simple backlog management tool. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	When it comes to its overall functionality in terms of planning, budgeting and forecasting, there is no product that can beat LivePlan in that. The usability is also a differentiator of LivePlan from other products. Its User Interface is well organized, easy to learn and understand and more user-friendly making it easy to navigate through the entire system, access and use the various features it comes with.

Return on Investment	It has been able to deliver a good overall view of all the items we have going on in ADO. We are in the process of transforming from waterfall to agile development and to be able to see an overall picture of the work items is invaluable. Incentivized MJ Mike Jackson Product Manager Read full review	For the price, it's worth it for 2 main reasons. Knowing what's going on throughout the year (relative to goals/prior periods), and seeing precisely where financial issues are off track.
