    I am very glad about the working speed of this tool. The comfort and support it has provided us in project management are worth appreciating because Project management is a big deal and using ZenTao has made it easy and fun for us as we can as a team better collaborate. But some of its features need to be fixed.

    • Story could be linked with product, sprint, test case, bug, which makes traceability so great.
    • Test module, with test case, case library, test request, test report, very detailed.
    • On-Premise available, the package is very small based on LAMPP
    • SaaS version even cheaper without your own IT maintenance support.
    • Price really affordable.
    • API call is easy, so that we could do customizations.

    Cons
    Xmind
    • A few steps are needed to mark a label for each customized branch.
    • Branch customization, such as line width and style, could be improved.
    • Customization, such as a different shape of nodes, would be good.

    • The function of ZenTao mobile version is a little weak.
    • ZenTao users need to receive training before they start using the software, because for testers, the first use of the software may be a little complicated, and they cannot execute the same test case multiple times in the same test execution process.
    • Although there are many reports built in. But if you want to get the data yourself,You have to know how to write SQL to customize your reports, which can a little bit challenging.

    The support around a bug in the tool which prevented the correct printing of diagrams. Support came back after a few days, and there was no workaround. Eventually, the bug was fixed in a future release. The company does not pay much attention to user forums. With better support and plugin mechanism for user contributions, the product would be more convincing.

    ZenTao defines bugs, tasks, and stories separately, not just an ISSUE. I can oversee the development from creating a Product Backlog to releasing the increment. I can also collect and record product feedback from the client and share with my team.
