Pros I really like to have a quick answer from the support team of Hygger, they are always ready to help, they are very supportive. Cons It has some visualisation issues and repport download, mostly with the gantt. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Not to much options for project managment. Review Source Response from Hygger December 10, 2020 Thank you for the review! Feel free to contact us if you would like to share your ideas about the report and visualization issues. We will be glad to know how we can implement the platform for you. Thank you for being our customer and for your help in developing Hygger. BF Benjamin F. Programmer Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A better than expected tool" November 25, 2019 5.0 I wanted to try Hygger to share the priorities of a new project with customer only, but when the priority was made we discover this tool has also a time tracking, a gantt chart, and a lot of priority tools and different boards, more than expected. It supposed to be a temporary tool for my client only, and now it is also a tool for the developers team and managers. Pros It is easy to work with and share with others, it helps on every develop part, since the design with clients until report for bosses. Cons I don't know yet, maybe the lack for deleting entities, many things can not be deleted but archived. Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reason for choosing Hygger We are currently working with JIRA, it is currently our main development tool, we continue using it because it is hard to move because it is linked to many different tools (the most of them from Atlassian). The main problem with Jira is the speed, it is a full of features tool, but it is too slow. Review Source Response from Hygger November 4, 2020 Thank you for taking the time to share how our app helps you! We highly appreciate it! Our team hasn't added the delete option for a board or project to prevent its accidental removal. Your data is safe in Hygger :) Peter G. Head of Product and Technology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Potential is there for as a Jira and Trello replacement" November 28, 2017 3.0 Product insight and forecasting for CRO. Pros We are using Atlaz for our product roadmap and CRO prioritizing. The task scoring helps me understand where our effort is best spent for maximum ROI . It is very easy to setup and customise boards and build team workflows to support the steps creating greater accountability in our team. Cons It is frustrating that you cant link a task from backlog into a roadmap for forecast planning. At present, you have to move or push it which creates a new task. This may be because of how I am using it for CRO, but this feature would be beneficial in a lot of cases. It might also be good to allow more customisation in a task by adding custom text areas, currently there is only description and comments. I would love one for hypothesis, acceptance criteria, solution, considerations etc. This would change in different use cases, so similar to checklist, have an option for text area. Review Source Response from Hygger November 5, 2020 Thank you for the review! It helped us to see what to build next. After some consideration, we added the Link option to Roadmap. It links your tasks, and the made changes will be updated on both boards. It's time to log into the company account and try it:) GM Gabriel M. Student Physician Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Perfect for my Medical School Class Officers" July 2, 2020 5.0 We are now able to collaborate even without meeting in person or over zoom. This is an amazing platform 😎 Pros I love that even though we rarely see each other in person, we can all collaborate and work on projects jointly with this platform. It makes assigning tasks, keeping track of what’s been done, and future planning much easier for us. Cons I had to make sure to tell my coworkers to use the email I added to make an account before clicking my link but that’s just to say that there will be problems if they sign into a different account. Just have them sign out and sign in with the email you invited them on. Easy fix :) Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[nTask](https://www.capterra.com/p/172292/nTask/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Hygger It has all that we needed for and a trial version that allows us to actually see if it worked before thinking about buying. Review Source Response from Hygger December 10, 2020 Thank you so much for your warm words about the software. We are glad that Hygger helps you to collaborate with your remote team. We will try to make it clear about the emails. However, even if they use the wrong one, there is an option to change the email in My Profile Settings. Also, please do not use the invitation link if you have already sent them the invitation to email to prevent duplicating the accounts. Artiom B. CTO and Co-Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trello is too simple. Jira is too difficult. Hygger - that's what you need." June 11, 2018 5.0 Pros I've been using Hygger since 2015, I've always used Trello before. Cool that there is a migration from Trello to Hygger, two clicks and everything instantly and painlessly moved. We also looked at Jira, but for us it's too huge, there's no time to set up, we wanted to register and use it right away. I manage the development team, Trello always lacked small features, and I really didn't want to use the add-ons for Trello. For example, I always wanted to know how much time was the task in "In Progres", in Trello there is no such information, in Hygger - there is! I also like the limits for the columns on the board, you can see immediately when the mess enterso the project. In addition, Hygger has many cool features for small teams (backlog, roadmap, etc.). We slowly introduce everything, and, most importantly, for small teams like us, Hygger is also free! )) Cons Of the minuses so far, only one, dragging cards on the board with the mouse, is still working with a delay, but I think that the guys will cope with this soon. Review Source Response from Hygger October 30, 2020 Thank you for the review from Hygger team :) Sven B. CTO Internet Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great for remote SCRUM teams" August 8, 2019 4.0 We've tried out quite a few productivity tools for our small 100% app development remote team. Hygger came out on top! Even compared to some of the bigger names in the industry (like Jira or Trello) as well as newcomers (like ClickUp) Hygger provides a seamless and snappy planning and in-sprint experience. Stuff simply works as you would expect - no fuss - which isn't always the case with competitors. It could use a bit more bling bling (dark mode anyone?) and a native Mac app, but apart from that it is a project managers dream. I especially love the swimlanes on the sprint board and the burndown chart. Pros \- implements many productivity best-practises and SCRUM features - snappy - swimlanes!!! Cons \- no dark mode - no native Mac client - design could be a bit more modern Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Review Source Response from Hygger October 29, 2020 Thank you for sharing with us! We are glad that you have chosen Hygger among such giants as Jira :) We work hard to make Hygger a #1 tool. Your ideas about the dark mode and native Mac app are saved on Hygger Backlog.

Project Manager Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great app, it is a good alternative to Jira and Asana. " April 12, 2018 5.0 Pros I must note that we are using Kanban workflow. I like it very much. I am the first PM who joined our company, so it was on my shoulders to decide which tool. I search a good alternative to Atlassian Jira. Here are brief why I like the Hygger: 1. Good UX. 2. All necessary things to start to manage your product. 3. Fast. Cons I must note that we are using Kanban workflow. Here are things I wish to have in Hygger: 1. I have all data - estimations, work log, etc, but I don't have the reporting, which is a vital part of my job. 2. As a continuation of the previous point, I would like to have both the reporting views/screens and the ability to export as a pdf/excel. 3. At least an integration with a Wiki-like tool. I use Documize, which is definitely a better alternative a Jira's Confluence. I would like to see the integration with it. 4. Exporting the tasks in excel also will be a Review Source Response from Hygger November 4, 2020 Thank you for the review! Hygger is ready to amaze you with its new features - Reporting and the ability to export the tasks in CSV. It's time to explore Hygger once again :) Artem L. DevOps Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Evolving task manager" February 16, 2019 4.0 Support is very reactive, but not always helpful. The same can be said about the product itself: it is just about cards with additional information. You can't setup rigid workflow, because Hygger is about freedom of task management. It is cool for small teams, but when you turn bigger, you need more enterprise solutions. Pros It's like Trello, but with task-related things: that's what we were missing. Our leadership love roadmaps and prioritization matrixes, and others love Inbox which accumulates all notifications waiting for "Read" mark so you can't miss anything. Cons Some things are not customizable enough: for example, you can't use part of axis for prioritization, because matrix will not scale. Support says that this may be fixed in the future. Mobile apps are a lie: sprint boards (which we use a lot) are unavailable for now, and there is no date when they will return to mobile. I don't understand why they don't work like usual boards, without sprint-specific information, it would be better than nothing. Review Source Response from Hygger February 26, 2019 Hi Artem! Thank you for your honest review. Your opinion really matters to us! Carlos M. Director de Gestión de la Plataforma de Información Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use and a great alternative for agile development" May 18, 2018 5.0 Pros I like Hygger because is really easy to use. Any kind of user can start using it immediately with a very short learning curve. You can find in Hygger the main characteristics for agile methodologies like kanban and scrum. You don't have a limit to create projects or dashboards so it fits perfect for small companies to the big ones. Cons A feature that Hygger doesn't have is some kind of reporter. As a project manager I required to extract some statistics about the total number of tasks asigned in a project, by status, how many tasks are asigned for team member, etc. Also, I would like to have some kind of color theme customization. In addition to the options to configure each dashboard (swimlane, add columns, task label) and think that it would be great to have different color in each block of columns or by category (swimlane) for easy reading and team organization.

Student Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience for both company and personal task management" August 8, 2019 5.0 Great, and I always feel that they are looking forward to get my feedback and improve the product, and the product is great and friendly. Pros The ease to get started with it and the interface and tools which make this product very suitable for both personal tasks management and professional task management. Besides that, their mobile app facilitates access to the tasks and notes taking. Cons I am very happy with the experience, but I think it would be valuable for the product to have more task grouping features (e.g. Epics).

We care about our customers, and your feedback means a lot to us. We would be happy to hear about any pros and cons you would like to share :) DB Debjit B. Freelancer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best Kanban Board available to use." May 20, 2019 4.0 To be honest, it is not a perfect solution for me, it may be for you. But I like a lot of things such as timeline and task lists. The timeline shows an overview of tasks and time spent on the projects, which is great. But the limitation is very confusing. It just says that 50 tasks, I have already completed 10. If it is per account then I think it is too low to do any kind of testing work. Pros I like things done timely and kanban board helps me a lot. I signup to only use kanban table for my project management. I am really impressed with the table template it just instantly solves all my problems. In kanban table "do it later" table saved me a lot of unnecessary time which is effectively spent. Time management and per task time is to consider work well. Hygger does allow unlimited user which is really nice for a freelancer for me. 100mb storage is also really not that bad for images only. Cons I really don't like how the top menu is taking so much of screen and forced me to go fullscreen. They must eliminate this menu bar and give some more area to work with. I found I can also use just 50 tasks. But I am not sure it is 50tasks/month or per account. There is some upcoming Review Source Response from Hygger May 23, 2019 Hi Debjit! Thank you so much for your honest opinion. Our free plan is limited up to 50 tasks for a company account. It is enough to make a decision in most of the cases. But you need more time and tasks, just drop us a message at support@hygger.io, and we will find a solution. JB Jeremy B. Product Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product for entry-level product management" October 20, 2020 4.0 Overall, I'm pleased and will continue to use it in the near term. Pros What I like most is the timeline view, as it's predominantly what we use. It's Kanban board seems sufficient, though not nearly as feature-reach as Trello. Cons We had an issue with exporting some of the data that was not fixed for two months. That export was very important and we had to instead perform an incredibly tedious manual data pull for those two months. Alternatives considered [ProductPlan](https://www.capterra.com/p/145894/ProductPlan/) Reason for choosing Hygger Price and ease of use Review Source Response from Hygger October 21, 2020 Thank you for the review! We are sorry to make you wait so long before the export has been fixed. We'll keep improving our technical support so you won't wait that long anymore. TE Troy E. Manufacturing Engineer Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Kanban and Project Management Tool" August 19, 2019 5.0 Great tool for anyone looking at project management solutions. Pros I like that the software is easy to use, but has many powerful tools and features. If you just want to create a simple kanban, it is very easy to set up. I use the Swimlanes frequently to organize tasks to my liking. The timeline view is excellent for planning and tracking projects with multiple phases. Lastly the prioritization methods are a great tool for identifying where your efforts need to be placed. Cons Nothing critical; a 'dark mode' theme would be nice. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Review Source Response from Hygger October 28, 2020 Thank you so much for sharing what features make Hygger a helpful tool for your team. We work hard to make it easy in use and add powerful functions at the same time! By reading your feedback, we believe that we have succeeded :) MS Michał S. Web Developer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool between Trello and Jira" July 19, 2019 5.0 Pros Easy to learn, hard to master. A lot of tools that make task management easier embedding images from clipboard ability to run sprints for my team Cons Poor sub-tasks management. In my opinion sub-task should be just a part of main task and should exist only inside. with ability to set status on it (checkbox for done at least). Now managing sub tasks is not really useful. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) No ability to run sprints Review Source Response from Hygger July 23, 2019 Thank you for the review! VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineering Manager Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "full featured project management suite" November 28, 2017 5.0 Pros I love that the UI is very intuitive and that it's really easy to setup and use. Additionally because it is entirely cloud based means I can access it easily both on a mobile device and on any computer. Cons We don't use it much for marketing but we have one team member who said the marketing project tracking features are not as feature rich as he would like. Review Source Response from Hygger December 8, 2020 Thanks for the awesome review! Don't forget to share with us about the marketing project tracking features. We will be glad to hear more! VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director & Co-Founder Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Hygger is built on experience and knowledge" April 12, 2019 4.0 This is good software if you just pay attention to managing your project and ignore tiny bugs in the user interface. Pros It seems that a knowledgable team has built this application. it supports a variety of Project Management concepts. The signup process is really easy and very fast. The signup email also has been sent very fast. There are plenty of board templates which user can use them for a very fast start. It helps users to have the most suitable board based on their business and use of the software. Using Some useful and well-known approaches for prioritizing tasks in projects is really nice. For example, the ICE method which is calculated by Impact \* Confidence \* Ease Cons They should pay more attention to the user interface. it could be more professional than the current one. they have not considered some tiny issues in UI., for example, I watched The Youtube video on their site and I decided to sign up. The sign-up dialog box was under Youtube video. Review Source Response from Hygger April 15, 2019 Thanks for the review! BH Brian H. President Management Consulting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Hygger for SAFe" October 29, 2020 4.0 Trying to support an integrated multi-team management activity using the SAFe methodology. Pros The product worked great for setting up team backlogs and managing through the processes. Kanban views were easily configured for effective use. Cons I was unable to set up a PI planning board from a backlog of EPICS and then flow features easily to team backlogs for further breakdown, stories, etc. Could be doable it was unclear on how to do so. Reason for choosing Hygger Ease of use, balance of simplicity with features. Review Source Response from Hygger November 4, 2020 Thank you for the review! Feel free to contact Hygger Support Team so they can assist you with the Backlog management and PI Planning. They will be happy to help you. VR Verified Reviewer Teknikchef Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The only product on the market i could find that handles roadmap, backlog and sprints seamless." May 11, 2018 4.0 Pros The simple GUI and a lot of drag 'n' drop features, that makes the software easy to use. I also like that the software always develops and nice features are released. Cons The lac of documentation possibility for example when we release a sprint. The IOS apps is not great. You cannot handle sprints and roadmap. Review Source Response from Hygger November 3, 2020 Thank you for the review! We hope you are still using our software :) If not, it's a great chance to try it again as we have updated the mobile app on iOS. Now you can work with Sprint and Timeline boards on it. HD Heather D. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is the collaboration platform we've been looking for." May 11, 2018 5.0 Our entire team is actually happy with this software. We've tried Asana, Slack, Trello, Excel spreadsheets and nothing is better than this program. Pros The way you can manage organize and prioritize cards. And we love having different boards that allow you to customize who can participate Cons We would like to see apps for at least the iPhone and iPad. Many of us are on the go and would love to be able to monitor and update wherever we are. Review Source Response from Hygger November 3, 2020 Thank you for the review! Hygger team has excellent news for you - we have updated the mobile apps. Please install the app to try it ;-) YT Yicen T. Business Analyst Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hygger is a practical project management tool" August 17, 2021 5.0 Pros I have been using Hygger for almost 2 years. Hygger's interface is particularly friendly to new users and is easy to use. Basic functions are all included and PM related activities can all be done on this platform. Hygger provide continuous support when you encounter any problem, I had once told support stuff an issue and she responded to me very positively and solved my problem quickly. Cons So far I didn't found any Cons for this software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Web Developer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Really good" November 28, 2017 5.0 organization Pros Its a little more feature rich than Trello. I like the different board styles (kanban, sprint, etc) Cons Cards that have been pushed to another board are copies rather than references. Requires 2x as many updates Review Source Response from Hygger December 4, 2020 Hygger is Trello on steroids :) We have updated the Push option - once you complete a dependant task, it will be completed on the parent board automatically. We haven't ever stopped to improve our platform. VR Verified Reviewer CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Best Tool for real scrum" August 1, 2019 5.0 Pros I looked for customizable tools that have good prior's features and are easy to use in scrum environments. Hyyger is perfect for that. Cons A bit hard to get started. Import features are missing. Review Source Response from Hygger October 29, 2020 Thank you for the review from the Hygger team! At the moment Hygger has the import from Jira and Trello. Please contact us to share the missed import features. We will be happy to know more. VR Verified Reviewer Developer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not very unique, similar to other project management platforms out there" November 28, 2017 5.0 Pros Has a feel similar to Trello for managing tasks. The priority chart is nice, and also the view kind of like gantt charts Cons Not an easy way to schedule your day. Does not intergrate with Freshbooks how I would like it to. Ideally I would like to be able to assign estimates ($) to tasks, assign them to clients, and when they are done sync with my accounting software (Freshbooks). Right now I have to go back and forth between my calendar, atlaz and then freshbooks. Review Source Response from Hygger December 4, 2020 Thank you for sharing with us! Your idea about the integration with Freshbooks is saved on Hygger Backlog. Feel free to share more options you would like to see on the platform:) WK Wynand K. Lead UX Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally an easy project planning tool with the basic features you need in a scrum team" November 28, 2017 5.0 Pros Its one of the most intuitive and easy to use tools that I have seen until now. It's exactly where you wish for in an small scrum team. Cons That you're not offered full control over the updates / messages you get, their is an option for email but would like a daily or weekly digest if you work with bigger or more teams. Review Source Response from Hygger November 6, 2020 Thank you for sharing, Wynand :) Hygger team will keep implementing the tool to improve your experience in it. AW Alexander W. CEO Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple and effective" November 9, 2020 5.0 Super easy to get acquainted with. Pros Super simple. Very structured. Hope they will be in the market for a whil. Cons A little bit more customization would be great. Review Source Response from Hygger November 13, 2020 Thank you so much for the review, Alexander!
