The software's versatility is evident through its adoption by multiple departments, including HR and Marketing, making it a convenient solution for software development projects across the organization.

One key problem that Zentao effectively addresses is the efficient tracking of tasks and bugs when collaborating on the same product.

ZenTao has created comfort in our work. With the assistance of it, we can simply add a task which we want our team to do and it has enabled us to display information related to the task. It is great for project management and has enabled us to deliver our projects on time.
  • It provides multiple views to track the progress of our projects.
  • It allows document and feedback management too.
  • it has wonderful collaboration tools.
  • It is a flexible project management tool that allows customizations.
  • [I feel] they should provide an update.
  • It is buggy [in my experience].
  • [I believe] its interface needs more improvement and should be less complicated for beginners especially.
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.
  • We can generate more revenue.
  • We can deliver projects before the deadline.
  • Its most wonderful feature is that it aided us in focusing on the progress of our project.
  • We can better coordinate with one another.

  • We are delivering projects on time and can keep an eye on the progress of our projects.
  • My team and I can better communicate on a project.
  • As it is [in my experience], buggy it sometimes results in disturbing the whole working of our company.
The features and the flexibility in Workfront were less and were not so sufficient for us as we needed something more. We were paying a high rate for almost nothing in the case of Workfront. So ZenTao is a perfect option when it comes to project management and we have witnessed an uplift in our business after ZenTao.

My employer asks teams to be agile and ZenTao is [good] for agility, so the whole company implemented it including the non-dev department. It helps tracking the issues; either a bug or a task. It is good fit for team collaboration.
  • Test management tool.
  • Application management tool.
  • Email reminder and instant messenger integration.
  • Calendar.
  • Wiki.
  • Budget management.
It is a great fit for small and medium sized teams that practice Agile, Scrum to be specific. If your team is on a budget, ZenTao is affordable and with the best ROI.

  • Help Agile transition.
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.

We were looking for a project management tool like two years ago, and [at] that time we searched on Google and approached ZenTao. The price was good, their service was good, and the most important [thing] was that we found it very practical for us to implement Scrum in it since we were using Scrum to manage our team.
My team is a dev team, and I am the tech lead of the team. ZenTao was first being implemented at first inside our team, and it was used across other departments like our HR, and Marketing. Not the whole organization, but almost 80% of our company.
We found it was pretty hard to track our tasks and bugs when collaborating on the same product. We wanted a tool to track sprint and issue. So that was how it came to ZenTao.
  • 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.
  • Mobile app, only a web based, not a real app.
  • The UI is a bit boring, for fresh user, the interactive guide is not so good as others.
  • There are not so many languages you could choose.
Our own dev team has been using ZenTao to manage so many of the products we have been developed, we use it to manage product backlog, sprint, task, bug, and case. We have been using this tool so much and we don't think we will immigrate to any other software. Thanks ZenTao, you earn an 8 from us.

  • Transparency to stakeholder.
  • Development process is faster (like 20% than before).
  • Everyone has gotten used to log effort in ZenTao, which makes leader, manager, and stakeholder so happy.
ZenTao is much cheaper than those, and for some functionalities, ZenTao has them that Jira and Asana don't.

Generally speaking, ZenTao is very convenient to use. Our company is using it together which makes our team more convenient in software development. Although it has some small shortcomings. But many teams we know are using it. It's a very popular product.

ZenTao allows you to create products, projects, and tasks. Projects can be subdivided. Product management and project management can be separated. It has a remark function when creating products, projects, and tasks. When it needs to input, it can mark and assign in it. This is a collaborative solution. Each task can be added (such as documents, images, zip files, videos). ZenTao also has GitHub and SVN integration. Part of the source code is also open.

We use ZenTao for agile development and test projects to track status. After being used by several project managers, the effect is quite remarkable. The tracking method is relatively simple and error-free.

  • In ZenTao, there are three key roles, Product Owners, Development teams, and QA teams. The three roles cooperate with each other through stories, representing the Tripartite in project management. Product Owners gather stories; Development teams perform tasks, and QA teams guarantee qualities.
  • Agility is a better way to embrace change. It is very suitable for software R &D industry. Different development plans are adopted according to customers' needs and market changes.
  • ZenTao is a full life cycle management software. Including product management, project management, task management, bug management.
  • 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.
ZenTao is very suitable for the software development industry.
It's not suitable for the traditional waterfall management industry.

  • It can improve the employee experience, and in turn engagement, by ensuring that staff members’ interaction with the ZenTao in their daily work is positive and productive.
  • Project management is smoother and improves your work efficiency.
  • Compared with other project management software on the market, ZenTao's price is very affordable.
Jira has powerful functions and integration, but its price is getting higher and higher. And now they have plans to cancel the self-hosted version. As small users, we want to use the software on our own servers. I don't like SaaS. But Jira no longer offers us this opportunity. ZenTao is not as good as Jira in terms of integration and UI beauty. But there are all the functions that should be available, and they will be iterated every month.
