Pros
Very simple but powerful environment, with a pretty and linear user inteface. Perfect for our small groups.
It's impressive how it's incredibly easy and intuitive to use immediately.
Cons
If you are opening a task and shift your mouse, the task disappear and you have to open a new one.
A native mobile app would be a plus, since it could be very hard to move things around on a smartphone screen.

"Herogami: full featured project management application"
Overall: Herogami has the rare ability to make you feeling confortable after a brief session of work: no matter how complex the project to manage, its smart data-entry form, its many effective builtin' views puts YOU at the helm of the ship. Whether you are an old Agile Jedi or a young Padawan you will find the answer at any doubts within a mouse click moreover it's sumptuous design makes you eager to use it.
Pros: I love the many views built in Herogami, you can view your projects from many angles without losing any important information: the Kanban Task Planner, in particular, has the correct balance of information and data that satisfies my daily needs. In any view you have a vast list of options to filter your data and nobody in my team has never had a problem to retrieve any information. The sprints dashboard is so tidy and essential that you could share it to any external stakeholder without the fear to be incomprehensible. Data entry forms are very effective: you can easily manage the rapid flow of ideas tipical of a brainstorming without losing a bit.
Cons: After few months of use, I miss the possibility to create a new task directly from the kanban lane and save and share customized views. I'd like to have a Zapier integration also.
"I was tasked to find a good kanban tool, this one is the best"
Overall: We manage a portfolio of complex projects with sparse and remote teams. Herogami does an excellent job keeping everyone in the loop. A good balance in terms of features and ease of use, not too simple that it feels like a toy, not too complex to get in the way or require external consultants. It'a a 5 stars product for me and my team of approx 50 people.
Pros: Ease of use and very quick and intuitive setup. Once you get to know a couple menus everything falls into place naturally. Everyday use is just the way it should be, the tool never gets in the way. The kanban options are wide and well refined, from classic kanban to swimlanes and extensive filters, all areas are covered. Document sharing and integrated wiki a plus. Excellent calendar feature, well integrated with tasks due dates. Customer support is very responsive and webinars are well structured. A periodic setup review option is also comprised.
Cons: Very few. A native mobile app would be great, yet the web version works great on both iPad and iPhone with a little attention. Kanban is not a tool for small screens anyway. I contacted support and got told that a mobile app for iOS and Android is on its way.
"Quickly and fast"
Pros: easily accessible, very fast and secure platform
Cons: Nothing about this software. It’s all ok
"Excellent value for money, capable platform for Agile projects with remote/global teams"
Overall: Our team is sparse and remotely located, with developers living far away from each other. Running a software development consulting firm with a remote teams requires a project tracking tool that is available 24 by 7 and does not get in the way. We found that Herogami provides the right balance in terms of features completeness, ergonomics and cost. The platform is available in the cloud at a very convenient rate and and team setup is a breeze. Projects can be created in a matter of seconds and staff allocated. Agile practices are fully supported (sprints, stories, issues, backlog) and the shared wiki plays a roles in tracking project specs as well as review meetings. Document management and the shared project calendars are also a plus. Overall the platform does a lot for what it costs. Interfacing customer support was a breeze and they responded in a matter of hours. Overall the product is solid and is considerable easier to use than other comparable platforms in the Agile market.
Pros: Quick setup, ease of use, features-rich. The UI scales from a tablet-size screen up to large 30-inch monitors. The software is very fast and data entry for stories and issues is very well designed: data entry in Herogami is effective and quick and this is especially true when entering issues, which is a pain in other competing products. The visual Kanban boards are very clear and cards are well organized, there's multiple views to choose from, including swimlanes based on a large number of attributes. Effort planning and tracking is available as well as "active notes" that send comments via emails. Herogami notifies relevant events via email: assign / reassign, closing, notes and comment being entered, etc. Every action is recorded and listed in the project / sprint timeline with links to the entities being modified, this is actually very impressive. The UI is very, very clean and elegant and this contributes to the overall ease of use: our development team was quick to get up to speed with the platform that, literally, felt into our process like none we tested before. This has happened most likely by virtue of its conceptual underlyling clarity and sharpness.
Cons: The product is very flexible. In order to fully leverage all the features you want to spend some time with it. Yet the admin / setup UI is very clear (it's not Jira!) and taking it for a spin is a breeze. Document upload features may benefit from some drag'n'drop hot spots.
Vendor Response
"A friendy, easy to use and complete Agile project management software at a fair price!"
Overall: Overall, the feeling of working with Herogami is very pleasant: it's not a boring, intricate and heavy software that you have to bear with, nor a toy that lacks a lot of features and flexibility. It's in the right spot: a tool that helps you with your work without being in the way. You can see that it's built by Agile people for Agile people :)
Pros: Herogami is how its logo represents it: light, flexible, quick and fun to use! The aspect that I liked the most is that you can start to use it right away, as its interface is intuitive and uncluttered and you can discover the functions as you use it, in a natural way. Nonetheless, it's possible to configure your views and many other options the way you want, and you can use it in a more advanced way if you need, taking advantage of its many features. I think that its easier to try it than to describe it ;) Right now it has a free-forever trial (up to 3 users and 5 projects)
Cons: I don't know, I think it's subjective based on one's preferences and needs... Personally I don't have something negative to say in particular. Maybe someone could find useful some sort of mobile app (though Herogami works well on tablets) or some integrations with other softwares...
"Good Kanban board"
Pros: The online kanban board of Herogami is very easy to use and is very helpful to organize my work
Cons: the mobile app could be very useful. Being able to check the status of the project from a smartphone would speed up the work even further
"The most flexible and customisable Aglie platform seen"
Overall: I use Herogami to manage all size projects and is very useful for manage daily internal activity. I have my personal kanban as well to keep track of my activity.
Pros: I really like the customisability off almost every object & page.
Cons: To be fair, until now I haven't hit any
"Very good"
Pros: Graghics, functionality and stability. This is a good software
Cons: The absence of a mobile application for iOS and Android
"Review from Argentieri"
Pros: - User experience - Design - very easy to use
Cons: - Calendar is bad - graphs too similar - little information on user performance
"A jump start to Agile and Team project management"
Pros: I found Herogami very easy to work with: clear UI, neat browsing experience. You can leverage just the features/modules you really need, making it simple to grow your project management environment as your project grows. Free plan is very comprehensive, since it gives you access to Kanban, Wiki, Workflows, covering a lot of basic needs you face in small and medium projects.
Cons: A native mobile app would be a plus, since it could be very hard to move things around on a smartphone screen. Also, it would be nice to have some sort of limited source code repository integration in the free plan too.
"Amazing Agile Platform!"
Overall: I worked with Herogami as an external resource on several agile projects. At any time I felt like I was part of the development team and I could know at every moment (even in real time) the progress of the project, of the bugs, of the customer requests, etc.
Pros: It's impressive how it's incredibly easy and intuitive to use immediately.
Cons: Maybe the red color?! I really don't know, it's really an amazing platform.
"Perfect kanban board "
Overall: I use herogami to manage issues and requests withmy small group of co-worker (3-4 people)
Pros: Very simple but powerful environment, with a pretty and linear user inteface. Perfect for our small groups.
Cons: Nothing to report here. I would like a native app to track and manage issues and tasks on mobile devices.
"kanban methodology"
Overall: In our organization we found it very useful for the final stages of projects, when complexity can make us lose control, we kept track of bugs or customer requirements
Pros: Herogami allows you to set the project milestones precisely. It also implements the kanban methodology in a simple way obtaining excellent results investing little time.
Cons: The software does not provide integration with source code control.
"Useful to track task to do in a project"
Overall: We are using herogami to track every microtask to do in the project or for solving problems during system tests. It is very useful for group work
Pros: It's easy to use: you can give priorities and describe the problems to solve. it is possible to assign tasks to your colleagues without using mail and you can see the advancement.
Cons: If you are opening a task and shift your mouse, the task disappear and you have to open a new one
"Herogami Review"
Pros: Easy to use, well organized and very intuitive.
Cons: Nothing to declare cons this system after this user experience.
