### "Excellent tool for Agile Management"

April 17, 2022

5.0

Taiga is an excellent tool for managing agile projects. It has everything you need to apply Scrum or Kamban to your project. The interface is simple and beautiful. The features work and help a lot in management.

Pros

Backlog management; Scrum management: sprints, sprint backlog, sprint task board, user stories estimation

Cons

The setup process after installation is a bit time consuming. Sometimes the performance is not good. It is not possible to change the story sprint directly in the story edit.

Many problems mainly in the features for agile management.

### "A very easy start"

September 10, 2020

4.0

Pros

Starting to work in a small team with Taiga is just easy. We haven't gone for the full integration of the development lifecycle and we are ok with that: we think that the cost involved is way too high for the value it brings, as ours is a composite architecture. It is friendly, clear and nice to use. Simple.

Cons

I miss the opportunity to see the history of a given item and its evolution.

Alternatives considered

[Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)

Reason for choosing Taiga

We are a small team and our issues are more about coordination than control. The big names are more on the control side, with lots of funcionalities around workflows and automation. We are not yet there.

Hi Sylvia, thanks for your review! Have you checked the comments and activity timeline for both user stories and subtask? This provides the history and allows to audit changes both on a project level in the project timeline as well as on user story/subtask level in their respective views

### "A good product for the price given. "

April 10, 2018

3.0

Finally a product with which the management was happy (attractive price). People (developers) finally started to use ONE product for keeping track of development of different products & projects and things are now handled in Taiga instead in txt files, SVN commit comments etc. Its easier to keep track of the development status of a product - but every member of team must use Taiga regularly - which was the hardest part to agree on.

Pros

We chose Taiga over other similar available products because of the price and its simplicity. Its good for tracking progress of development, issues and options for adding custom user inputs. Integrations with other platforms is a plus.

Cons

Easy (simple) reporting for management (weekly, monthly) would be a nice-to-have function. Sometimes the website works a bit slow. Wiki pages could work a bit better. Automatic reminder for issues that were not updated (touched by anyone) in some period would be good to have as well.

### "Student review of Taiga"

February 11, 2026

5.0

It was a great experience and I would definitely use it in the future. It helped a lot with keeping my team all on the same page and working all updated.

Pros

I liked that it helped with my team's project management and project team collaboration. It kept my team very organized and had a fast learning curve to learn how to use. Overall it helped a lot with the project collaboration throughout the project.

Cons

The value for money is higher than some other options on the market and I didn't try customer service.

### "Lightweight and easy to use project management tool"

April 5, 2022

5.0

We used Taiga to adopt an official kanban workflow for our team. It has allowed us to be very organized in terms of work intake and management.

Pros

Taiga is very easy to use. It has all the features we needed.

Cons

Google SSO is not natively supported. We used an external plugin but the user experience is not 100% polished and error-prone.

Reason for choosing Taiga

Taiga is a lot more cost-effective. It's also the most feature-rich among the open source alternatives out there.

We needed a tool which we can self-host so that we're not limited by the per-user licensing cost.

### "Easiest application with the right amount of features"

September 18, 2020

5.0

Taiga helped us a lot to organize our projects and keep track of tasks. I like that it'ss simple and not overloaded with functionalities. Configuration and customization of project can be done in minutes.

Pros

Taiga is not overloaded with features like other applications. The learning curve is very short because of that and the UX is very intuitive.

Cons

Kanban board is the best way to keep track of tasks but makes it easy to lose track of stories that don't have individual tasks created on them.

### "Overall a vey good product"

September 18, 2020

5.0

Pros

It's the ease if use, even for our clients. Mainly we use the ticket system which is outstanding. Also it runs very stable with almost no downtime.

Cons

I don't like the new pricing system where we have to pay a lot more due to calculation per member. We develop quite small software projects, but testing on client side often needs 6-8 people, which makes Taiga quite expensive. A feature based pricing would be much better.

Jira was way to complex for our clients. Trello was not structured enough and has no ticket system

### "Easy to use, 100% customizable and very high performance"

September 24, 2020

5.0

Pros

We have used it mainly as a kanban board and it fits perfectly to our needs. It allows us to easily replicate our workflow and has saved many hundreds of hours of management and communication both within the team and with the customer. It is fast and its usability is excellent, reducing to the maximum the number of clicks to perform actions. Highly recommended.

Cons

The SCRUM features were less suited to our needs, although we did not fully explore them.

### "I mostly like taiga at work. I manage ten projects and can easily share those."

April 10, 2018

4.0

\- Rapidity - Historization of tasks - Social around specifications - WorkFlow from ideation to deployment - Ease of communication with partners around multiple projects

Pros

\- Workflow configuration, many options around status - MD for the content of US & Tasks - Comments & actictivities for the US & Tasks - Vote & Tag management - Ease of search

Cons

\- Pay to get multiple project on the Mobile App - Some feature "hard to find" - Some important nice feature missing in my process (ex 1 when you promote an issue to a US, you need to keep attachment and such things) (ex 2 hard to use Kanban & Scrum for the same project) - lack of tutorials for new features (never manage to drag&drop multiple cards) - Need to improve backlog priorization - Link between projects, import, export need

February 11, 2023

4.0

Many successful projects have been executed with Taiga. It's very extensible.

Pros

Managing workflow, manages issues (bug tracking), manages software feature development, provides wiki support for project, used for configuration management.

Cons

Integration with git and gitlab was not great.

### "The best Kanban board we have found "

September 20, 2020

5.0

Love the tool, being in AUS the servers can run slow from time to time but most of the time it is responsive. There is no tool out there that is as intutive to use.

Pros

All Agile tools are limited but they are limited in different ways. Taiga is the only one I keep coming back to. It's Kanban board is the most intuitive we have found and it is simple yet feature complete as a 'product backlog'.

Cons

Like all agile tools, managing multiple teams with multiple products running multiple projects is difficult. As long as you pick one of the 3 dimensions to manage the tool works great. I would like to see a burndown feature where I can mix and match the 3 dimensions at will. I have yet to find a tool (besides a spreadsheet) that allows me to do that.

Reason for choosing Taiga

Other tools were not as flexible and intuitive.

### "Very Good Framework - What you get out of the software is exactly what you put into it."

September 22, 2020

5.0

Pros

\- Easy to switch between projects - Ease of assigning story points - Dashboard

Cons

\- You have to manually indicate an epic has stated (this should be automatic once a task has been marked in progress or complete) - More guidance/Best Practices would be helpful. A challenge because of wide-variety of use, but it would helpful to get folks started - It takes effort to figure out what works/doesn't work

Review Source

Response from KALEIDOS

September 23, 2020

Hi Jim, thanks for you review! I agree that it would be more logical that an Epic moves to started after any of the user stories have started. However we want users to have the possibility to customize stages for Epics. That makes it hard to automatically change the status

### "Taiga is the tool to organize the tasks of all my projects"

August 8, 2017

5.0

This tool has allowed me to organize, control and follow each of the assigned tasks for the execution of all my projects.

Pros

What I like most about software taiga is that it allows me to organize the tasks of my projects well and have control of them, since the programmer must indicate when a task is in progress or when the task is finished, besides allowing us to know the Development time of each one. It is also super useful because you can add the client and the same can see how the development of your project is and follow up.

Cons

Although I really like Taiga and I use it in all my projects, it would be interesting to have a mobile application, in which to have a summary of each project and be able to have the status without a computer necessarily.

### "Manage the projects without the headaches"

July 24, 2018

4.0

We are able to manage both project management & issue tracking using this application. So we no needed to have multiple applications.

Pros

\-- KANBAN board helps to manage & measure the project status. -- Can add the issues for the ongoing project. -- Team board will provide the details about team spirit. -- Timeline display the notifications of all the changes done by users & clicking on the users' name can extract the history of the respective users' works. -- Backlog display the overall summary of the projects & display all tasks.

Cons

\-- Its little bit confusing working with different kinds of screens. -- There have some terms that users cannot understand them easily until they figure it out.

### "A good IT project management software"

March 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

Open source and works nicely! Perfect for personal or small projects, if you don't have a very big budget. Includes all of the expected features like team management, support for EPIC, issues, sprints and backlog (just one AFAIK). You can defined custom ticket/issue statuses. Also includes built in kaban board.

Cons

Cloud version is sometimes slow after latest update .

### "Simple tool with cool features for managing products"

December 9, 2019

4.0

Because of its simplicity, its a really easy tool to use.

Pros

Taiga is not as feature rich has other tools in the market but it's really easy to setup and use. It's a great tool for running a self hosted instance.

Cons

When you start to get a lot of stuff inside of Taiga, it starts to be a little short on some features. It's hard to get metrics and search engine could be better.

### "We needed a system for tracking issues/user stories as our project grew, Taiga seemed best"

April 10, 2018

4.0

Taiga made managing multiple projects with dozens of users easily. But the pricing change makes it too expensive for a small company (< 10 internal users)

Pros

Taiga is simple to use, and easy for nearly anyone, even non-technical helpdesk and clients can use it and understand what they are doing.

Cons

A big reason we chose Taiga was their pricing model, a flat rate for 25 users. That model changed recently to a per-user per month basis. We need multiple accounts for external clients as well as internal users and this pricing model makes it too expensive for a small company. We are/were grandfathered in for the duration of our contract, which when it expires, we will move away from Taiga.

September 18, 2020

Very good

Pros

Focuses on productivity and simplicity on its core features, scrum & kanban. Not only simple too use but simple to deploy. Just what I need. Now I can spend time producing.

Cons

Probably little lack in nice and graphical reporting I still haven't found how to easily do multi-selection.

Pros

April 10, 2018

5.0

All the benefits of Visio and Omnigraffle, but in a better, easier to use, platform independent software.

Pros

Not platform specific. Will work with Mac, Linux, or Windows. Can import Visio and Omnigraffle documents and icon/shape sets. The ability to generate SQL from an ERD! It's BADASS!

Cons

This is not really a dislike, but an idea.... It would be great if there was a place that had user created shape sets that we could explore and download.

### "Tool allowing to jump into agile development with my team."

April 16, 2018

4.0

Simple and affordable issue and task tracking across team.

Pros

Simplicity. Issue tracker, backlog, planning sprints with burnout chart. Team members are easy to manage. Tasks in backlog are easy to rearrange.

Cons

The biggest problem lies on user's side: to use it in full power, one has to keep using it for longer term and it may be demanding (but it brings progress into the project). A bit strange colour scheme, a bit lost in editing issue texts. Personally I feel more in control when I edit issues in GitHub. Integration to Bitbucket repositories, commits and issues (did not dare to try if it is present at all).
