Orangescrum Reviews

“Finally a good task tracker

Pros

When I set out to find a task tracker, I found plenty of cloud-based services that seemed to do what I wanted, but I really needed to have more control. As a programmer and designer, I wanted something that not only worked but that I could also plug into my local systems. Orangescrum allows me to do that. The add-ons are a single cost, and the self-hosting option seems to be priced right.

Cons

Installing the community edition took longer than expected, especially on Slackware 15. The lack of clear instructions for unsupported systems made the process more challenging than necessary.

“LPM Academy Review

Pros

Their user interface clearly structured and self-explanatory for PM experts. Its not overloaded with functions and is therefore well applicable for SMEs.

Cons

Unfortunately, essential modules must be purchased separately to fully utilize the application.

“A good starting point

Pros

I found it easy to install and appreciated the good initial feature set.

Cons

Many core features require additional purchases or subscriptions, contrary to the impression given by the website.

“Riddled with bugs, poor UX, unresponsive/uninterested support

Pros

This is a very robust system when it works. It has tons of features and is very flexible. It is well designed visually and has good pricing.

Cons

There is a notable lack of commitment to addressing software issues, despite promises to do so. The user experience suffers from poor design choices, unresolved bugs, and a disregard for user feedback.

“Easy fand fast

Pros

I found the OnPremise installation easy and the user setting is very easy.

Cons

The UI could benefit from a more modern design, with certain features requiring increased configurability.

“Best tool i've found

Pros

I find it very simple and appreciate that it is open source. Being part of a small team, I searched for something easy to use, and this tool is perfect for us. The installation was straightforward and quick. It was crucial for us to find a tool not tied to a cloud system. Good job, OrangeScrum!

Cons

I have not found anything yet! The only thing I am still looking for is: "Where can I change the Exchange Server settings?" But that's not very important to me.

“Application features and cost

Pros

I create tasks and projects easily and efficiently assign them to team members.

Cons

The comment feature is fantastic, especially being able to select people in the comment section with their status.

“A MUST HAVE

Pros

This was exactly what I was looking for. It really fits my daily needs.

Cons

It could use more custom fields to be even better.

“Good project managment

Pros

It easy to use, organize, manage, and assign tasks to employees. It provides a quick overview of task status and hours spent on tasks.

Cons

Customizing the layout was not an easy task for me.

“Excellent Customer Support

Pros

I had trouble with the free Community Edition, and they did not hesitate to provide me with full support to resolve the issue.

Cons

The lack of subtasks in the Community Edition is a minor inconvenience, considering it's a free tier product.

“Great software

Pros

I find it easy to use, love the great interface, and appreciate the many functions it offers.

Cons

So far, I have not encountered any negative points.

“Good scrum management for self hosted companies

Pros

The installation is easy, and usage is also simple and straightforward.

Cons

CRON jobs could be improved, and it would be great to add external addons like boards and other items.

“Product does not match literature, screenshots, or functionality expected

Pros

I appreciated the interface during the demo period when I was using the hosted cloud solution.

Cons

Some features have not worked as expected, like reporting, forecasting, recurring tasks, and incorrect calculations for actuals. Also, experiencing 404 messages. Resource forecasting is especially problematic. They didn't mention certain limitations when we asked early on, such as multiple holiday calendars and working schedules.

“Good application

Pros

Tracking and assigning tasks are well organized, and delegation to the team is managed and tracked properly.

Cons

Sometimes things get complicated trying to make stuff work. It's difficult for normal users to troubleshoot the problem.

“Great Software

The software is great, very easy to use, and powerful with many functions.

Cons

NO CONS, It is user-friendly, and I appreciate the ability to create various types of tasks.

“Good tool for project maintenance

Pros

It is very easy for me to use and track product development progress.

Cons

There are not any major cons, but simplifying the UI would be beneficial.

“An easy way to manage projects

Pros

I find it very easy to use with an uncluttered interface.

Cons

I have not found any cons so far. It was simple to set up and easy to use.

“Orange Scrum

Pros

I do not find anything positive in this software as other software in the market provides a better feel.

Cons

Performance is very slow, and it struggles to handle the load. The UI is not user-friendly, especially when switching between tasks from different projects.

“opensource version test

Pros

I find the software easy to use, and its use case is very good.

Cons

The installation guide needs a lot of improvements.

“Makes agile teams more efficient

Pros

As an organization, we moved to Agile about a year ago and use OrangeScrum to track our sprints and iterations. It gives a very clear and visual progress of our sprint work. OrangeScrum provides different graphs to indicate the progress of product development and helps us create individual tasks to reach the goals set by the product team.

Cons

The tool is great, but more options and customizable configurations specific to our team would be appreciated.
