Most importantly, the support is 10/10. Nothing to complain about. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] went above and beyond in supporting my role out. I purchased the self-hosted package and it just works. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] made it so easy for me. Seriously, I am impressed. Thank you so much guys! Pros Ease of use and well-built out scrum framework/process really won me over. Cons I am still in the early stages but so far so good, no complaint. It appears like they read my mind so no cons right now. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

English usage in software could use a review by a native speaker." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 15, 2018 Usefulness and features galore for a very nice price. I can use this in place of an expensive Jira license for work, family, church, and personal projects as I work towards my PMP. Pros Tons of features that are on par with expensive software like Jira. The upgrage to pro added all the extras over the open source version that I needed including MS Office integration and Gantt charts. Cons The use of English is not bag but could greatly benefit from a native speaker. For example, for items that are open and in progress they categorized as "undone". While it is the opposite of "done", which is used to categorize completed item, the use of undone does not fit as the connotation of the word in highly negative. For example, the police raided my office and seized my accounts. I am undone.

Highly recommend as a starter for new scrum team" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 September 28, 2017 Pros I really like that the software can be customized to our needs. The customer support is super responsive! We ran a test team for the last 3 months on Zentao and soon will be rolling out Zentao to other teams within the company. Cons Some of the minor features still have bugs. Nothing too concerning and the customer support is responsive in helping fix small issues that come up. We would love to see some stronger features within documentation, but overall nothing much on the cons column.
