"ZenHub is an easy app to learn and use"

What do you like best about Zenhub?

I like that zenhub is easy to learn and use for Product Owners, Project Mangers, QA, and Dev. It also makes sprint planning easy with the poker add on and being able to get multiple sprints going.

What do you dislike about Zenhub?

That it doesn't do a good integration with jira or confluence. Its also hard to customize based on projects.

What problems is Zenhub solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zenhub helps us be able to sort out things that are wishlist items instead of true backlog issues. It also helps us to plan future sprints in advance.

Increases collaboration among team members

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

We love that it is possible to work on projects using ZenHub without having to leave GitHub. It is the only tool that we have seen that can do that. It is simple to set up and use in managing tasks which makes our team to have a smooth transition. It has become the cornerstone of our project management and development solutions as it offers more than what we were getting while using Trello. Although similar, ZenHub has proven to be reliable and seamless especially since it created in GitHub, an open source. The cost of the software is also friendly s it is free when you want to manage projects that area private and also on open source. The customer support at ZenHub is highly responsive to the queries we have and thus bliss.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

There is little to say negative about the product. It has managed to change how projects are managed and since you can work on the projects while you are still in GitHub, which adds to its effectiveness. However, there is still room for improvement considering that the tool is new in the market. In that case, they do not have many features as you would expect. Luckily, the developers are always adding new features and discussing ways to make the product reliable on their blog. For the case of customization, it does not offer much for users. It would be better if they made this feature vibrant for users who want more of customization that what they have on GitHub.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

The collaboration and communication among team members working on a single project is seamless. We are able to be more organized regardless of whether we are operating from the same office or working remotely. Since it is built in GitHub, I am able to access my work and check the progress of the project with ease by just pressing the ‘B’ button. This means that I do not have to leave GitHub or switch to a different tab to check my work as it works on GitHub. With such functionalities, I can check the progress and condition of different tasks within a project and know the level of completion and which tasks are due.

"Great organization and project management tool"

What do you like best about Zenhub?

My team and I use ZenHub to track and organize our work projects. We create various columns to prioritize projects and indicate their progress status. This transparency is very helpful, as any team can look at our board and see what we're working on and where various projects stand. I also love that I can tag various team members on each ticket, so they'll be notified with any changes and/or comments.

What do you dislike about Zenhub?

I don't have any real complaints, ZenHub has all of the functionality I've needed thus far.

What problems is Zenhub solving and how is that benefiting you?

ZenHub has been a great tool for organizing, prioritizing, and tracking projects. It's also a great centralized tool for us to communicate with other teams and provide transparency into our work.

"Issue management at its best"

What do you like best about Zenhub?

I have multiple repositories and many issues within each one. I love how Zenhub allows me to create Boards, this makes the organization of my issues simple. I can visually see what issues I need to work on, verify, what's in the Backlog and even see the total number of each issue in each category. Github alone is missing this and it made it difficult for me to track my issues, many would get lost because I would get overwhelmed in trying to scroll through the issues. I did filter by assignee but Zenhub allows me to see this in a board format. Which is great.

What do you dislike about Zenhub?

I haven't found anything I dislike about using ZenHub.

Recommendations to others considering Zenhub:

Be prepared to see productivity to go up.

What problems is Zenhub solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use scrum on my teams and Zenhub helps us go through scrum a lot faster because we can see clearly where we're at and where we need to focus our attention on. It's literally a portable white board.
