Production Director Computer Games ### "Fell asleep on its laurels" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 January 5, 2019 For 10 years Hansoft has been my invaluable companion for Agile and Kanban teams across several top-tier companies in games and VFX industry. Over the years the price of the licence soared while the old annoying bugs and interface issues persisted unadressed. The development team has been clearly working hard on cool new features tailored for a general audience (understandably) but this also caused the tool to lose its edge against other solutions for my line of work (Shotgun, FTrack and others). Pros \+ easy to get into for team members + friendlier interface compared to some mainstream solutions (Jira) + powerful workflow tool Cons \- lost its finger on the pulse of the games and VFX industries - poor, buggy and lacking file management - poor third-party software integration - expensive Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

AU Anonymous User Web Developer Computer Games ### "An okay task management software" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 April 26, 2018 Pros What I like the most about Hansoft is the Grant chart and the way you are able to see all your tasks in one place during a period of time. Cons The main downside of this Hansoft is that it's a bit sluggish and not very user friendly for the Linux install.

Project Manager Telecommunications ### "I think this software is a top of the line Project Management Software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 April 9, 2018 This software has many options and it is easy to get started. Pros I really like that this software has a desktop downloadable version. It was self contained and I did not need other software to make it work. It is very easy to set up and get started but there are many features to learn. Cons This software has many options and because of that I found there was a bit of a learning curve. It seems a little different setup but once I understood it I was able to really get moving.

" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 14, 2018 Pros Powerful software, the general approach is though out and the user interface is well designed. I like the capability to keep my backlog organised. Cons Very complex, steep learning curve and some quality issues. The documentation could be improved and the pricing is also quite steep!

AU Anonymous User Junior Web Developer ### "It's a complicated piece of software that gets in your way." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 17, 2018 Pros The best feature of this software is that you can see grant charts, and have everything in one play to see the sprint duration. Cons It's overly complex, getting in your way when all you want to do is track your tasks in order for your managers to have an overview of your work.

Production manager ### "Lots of good ideas but also quite a lot of UX issues" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 August 29, 2017 Lots of people who were complaining about Jira now wants it back! Pros 2 estimations for the taks, one in the backlog, the other in the sprints Tree organization for the tasks Cons I can't open 2 windows to look at 2 places of the backlog at the same time The sums are all wrong because they take into account the archived and the to be deleted tasks I don't have a proper scrum board (the one that exist is a joke) I don't have an easy to use priority list (I can't have a report on this view) And most of all I don't feel that the support is very reactive and that the software is really improving...

TF Tobias F. Quality Assurance Director Computer Games ### "Hansoft is a great tool for project management and quality assurance bug tracking." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 6, 2017 An alround tool for project and bug managment. Hansoft covers a wide range of possible applications for nearly every case. Pros Even if Hansoft has some "default" ideas of the usage of their functions, the customer still have a wide range to realize their own ideas with Hansoft. This variety of usage-cases makes Hansoft very usefull. List of Pro points: - The overall QA section is well developed. - Dashboards (statistics) catch all information in a clean way. - Reports and Presets create a good overview. - The option to plan in two different types (Schedule vs Sprint) gives enough variety for any kind of project. - Support: Always fast and friendly & also open minded & thankful for feedback! - Tutorials: Creates an easy startup with Hansoft. Cons You will need some time to get into the advanced knowledge. The basic knowledge is easy to pick up, but if your ideas become more and more complex, you will need some time to dig deeper into Hansoft.

Producer Broadcast Media ### "Great Project Management Software!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 27, 2017 Pros The ability to keep track of back log and current items in an easy to understand, intuitive interface is invaluable to a remote team. Cons I do wish it were a bit more affordable and it would be nice to have better help and FAQ documentation. I've had some users that weren't familiar with the software have a bit of a steep learning curve.

Lead Software Engineer E-Learning ### "The Hansoft team has been very helpful for me, and I love the interface!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 11, 2017 It provides a good way to combine all of our project management needs into one place. We have had problems in the past managing hours, because we are students are no one is really in at the same time, and Hansoft was able to make a very easy interface for logging hours on tasks! Pros I love how intuitive it is. I was able to launch the client and immediately understand what I was supposed to do. Cons I dislike the upgrade process, because it must be done through email, and because Hansoft is across the world from me, it takes >12 hours for them to get back to me. Other than that, they care always very consistent with feedback! I never go more than one night without feedback!
