Overall Satisfaction with Pivotal Tracker

We have used Pivotal Tracker for user story documentation and tracking. It was a decent tool for documenting bugs, features, and chores, story points, priority as well as assigning them to developers, tracking comments and the story activity in general. It was used in my organization as a Product Management tool.

Pros

  • Story entry
  • Story Tracking
  • Segmenting stories

Cons

  • Lack of customization and configurability
  • Lack of UX/UI improvements over 3 years I used it
  • Outdated UI in general
  • Positive for ticket tracking for developers
  • Negative for project management
  • Negative for new features and capabilities
It was generally easy to use once you got the hang of it. The searching and tagging of tickets was fine, commenting worked well, and release planning was good. However, it wasn't the most intuitive tool in the beginning. The UI is pretty outdated and could have used upgrades over time.
For my organization's needs, other tools such as Airtable, JIRA, and Asana have definitely been better. These tools provide more project management capabilities and configurability, so we are able to customize them to meet the team's needs. However, that also comes with a steep learning curve. Pivotal Tracker was pretty simple so the learning curve was not as steep.

Do you think Pivotal Tracker delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Pivotal Tracker's feature set?

No

Did Pivotal Tracker live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Pivotal Tracker go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Pivotal Tracker again?

No

It worked for story documentation and tracking in general. Pivotal Tracker was more useful for developers in my organization for searching tickets. However, it was not as helpful for product and project management, specially due to lack of configurability. I wished there were better ways to sort and filter tickets and create different views.
