Overall Satisfaction with Zenhub

We used Zenhub to fill the gaps in GitHub's sprint planning and backlog management tools. Zenhub allowed us to better organize our work by adding an extra level of categorization (Epics) with which we could group multiple user stories together. Zenhub allowed us to estimate the work prior to the sprints and better keep track of what was being done and what was left to do. Being able to track dependencies also made it easier for our development teams to stay on top of the work required.
  • Scrum boards
  • Allowing us to track more information in tickets
  • Sprint planning
  • Automations and workflows
  • At the time, the planning poker functionality lacked flexibility
  • Automation had some limitations that wouldn't accomodate our workflow
  • Boards
  • Sprints
  • Workflow automation
  • Allowed us to move from Azure Boards to Github
  • Reduced our costs
  • Allowed us to get closer to a new market (Github users) by allowing us to familiarize ourselves with their workflows and tools
Zenhub is purpose built for Github users and provides just the tools you need to run Agile sprints without any extra complexity or fluff. Azure is a much more "enterprise" solution in which you drown in all of the available options, very similar story with Jira (pricing is also a factor with the latter). Trello is great for keeping notes, but it is not an Agile software development tool, it is not purpose built for that unlike the other options. monday.com is great for project management, but it doesn't easily provide the granularity needed for Agile software development.

Yes

Did Zenhub live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Zenhub go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Zenhub again?

Yes

The standalone Github project/sprint management is complete garbage when compared to tools like Atlassian JIRA. We wanted a cost-effective way of tracking our backlog that was well-connected with our repo (Github). Zenhub seemed to contain all of the features we wanted, plus a few more, and none of the bloat that we didn't want or need. The pricing was very reasonable for our team size when compared to other solutions. Very easy to set up and use as well.
