## Reviews

### "Not a fan, just too complicated" — 2.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *8 February 2018* | Insurance
> 
> **Pros**: Still better than ServiceCenter: more flexible, better customizable, and the UI is better. Also this is very stable and reliable.
> 
> **Cons**: Feels too complicated, can't truly customize down/remove some fields you don't want. It may be good now, but check if you are comfortable with the UX

-----

### "Nice to the manage tasks..." — 4.0/5

> 
> **Pros**: The tool is a good solution for managing tasks, very flexible infrastructure make it easy to fit the company needs.
>

### "Bugs fix management" — 4.0/5

> **Keren** | *23 November 2017* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I most like the tool's ability to review history and run detailed queries.
Another feature worth mentioning is it's API while integrating it in some other 3rd part tool.
> 
> **Cons**: Licensing method is annoying as it give only concurrent number of users to work on it in parallel.
I assume it is more related to budgeting but it was still slowing my work.
> 
> Helped generating statistics per division in the organization
