Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is fairly easy."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
"I like the Kanban board. It is very useful in terms of seeing who is working on what and what the current status of work is."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is simplicity."
"Team Foundation Server (TFS) is easy to use, and we have a complete trail and traceability. We also like the access control part."
