Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ZenTao has created comfort in our work. With the assistance of it, we can simply add a task which we want our team to do and it has enabled us to display information related to the task. It is great for project management and has enabled us to deliver our projects on time.

Pros

  • It provides multiple views to track the progress of our projects.
  • It allows document and feedback management too.
  • it has wonderful collaboration tools.
  • It is a flexible project management tool that allows customizations.

Cons

  • [I feel] they should provide an update.
  • It is buggy [in my experience].
  • [I believe] its interface needs more improvement and should be less complicated for beginners especially.

Likelihood to Recommend

I am very glad about the working speed of this tool. The comfort and support it has provided us in project management are worth appreciating because Project management is a big deal and using ZenTao has made it easy and fun for us as we can as a team better collaborate. But some of its features need to be fixed.

Lightweight on premise solution for agile teams

  • Application management tool.
  • Email reminder and instant messenger integration.
  • Calendar.

Cons

  • Wiki.
  • Budget management.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a great fit for small and medium sized teams that practice Agile, Scrum to be specific. If your team is on a budget, ZenTao is affordable and with the best ROI.

Best Scrum tool ever for project management

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for a project management tool like two years ago, and [at] that time we searched on Google and approached ZenTao. The price was good, their service was good, and the most important [thing] was that we found it very practical for us to implement Scrum in it since we were using Scrum to manage our team.

My team is a dev team, and I am the tech lead of the team. ZenTao was first being implemented at first inside our team, and it was used across other departments like our HR, and Marketing. Not the whole organization, but almost 80% of our company.

We found it was pretty hard to track our tasks and bugs when collaborating on the same product. We wanted a tool to track sprint and issue. So that was how it came to ZenTao.

Pros

  • Story could be linked with product, sprint, test case, bug, which makes traceability so great.
  • Test module, with test case, case library, test request, test report, very detailed.
  • On-Premise available, the package is very small based on LAMPP
  • SaaS version even cheaper without your own IT maintenance support.
  • Price really affordable.
  • API call is easy, so that we could do customizations.

Cons

  • Mobile app, only a web based, not a real app.
  • The UI is a bit boring, for fresh user, the interactive guide is not so good as others.
  • There are not so many languages you could choose.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our own dev team has been using ZenTao to manage so many of the products we have been developed, we use it to manage product backlog, sprint, task, bug, and case. We have been using this tool so much and we don't think we will immigrate to any other software. Thanks ZenTao, you earn an 8 from us.

Effective agile management tools

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<p>Generally speaking, ZenTao is very convenient to use. Our company is using it together which makes our team more convenient in software development. Although it has some small shortcomings. But many teams we know are using it. It's a very popular product.

</p><p>ZenTao allows you to create products, projects, and tasks. Projects can be subdivided. Product management and project management can be separated. It has a remark function when creating products, projects, and tasks. When it needs to input, it can mark and assign in it. This is a collaborative solution. Each task can be added (such as documents, images, zip files, videos). ZenTao also has GitHub and SVN integration. Part of the source code is also open.

</p><p>We use ZenTao for agile development and test projects to track status. After being used by several project managers, the effect is quite remarkable. The tracking method is relatively simple and error-free.</p>

Pros

  • In ZenTao, there are three key roles, Product Owners, Development teams, and QA teams. The three roles cooperate with each other through stories, representing the Tripartite in project management. Product Owners gather stories; Development teams perform tasks, and QA teams guarantee qualities.
  • Agility is a better way to embrace change. It is very suitable for software R &D industry. Different development plans are adopted according to customers' needs and market changes.
  • ZenTao is a full life cycle management software. Including product management, project management, task management, bug management.

Cons

  • The function of ZenTao mobile version is a little weak.
  • ZenTao users need to receive training before they start using the software, because for testers, the first use of the software may be a little complicated, and they cannot execute the same test case multiple times in the same test execution process.
  • Although there are many reports built in. But if you want to get the data yourself，You have to know how to write SQL to customize your reports, which can a little bit challenging.
