Pivotal Tracker Review
Overall this the best software for little teams and for startups to start flow from scratch.
PROSPivotal is one the simplest agile management tool I've used. The flow is simple there, Icebox , current iteration and done. and also states are simple started, finished, delivered and accepted. unlike Jira this more simple to use and has very humble UX for users. It has all major integration with github, slack so it's the best option for little projects and startups for managing software flow.
CONSUsing this already 4 years I could mention a little cons that I've remember. One of them that when you do update on story description it does not emit any notification, you should tag someone under comment section that description is updated please take a look ore something. Another thing the mobile app on old IOS version working very slow and sometimes crashes.

Nice-looking app to help keep agile teams organized
Our team is able to stay on track with work in a sprint and spend less time chatting on Slack about story progress, and do all the communication within PivotalTracker. Overall, this has kept our team organized and accountable.
PROSIt has a really easy-to-use, friendly design that makes it simple to track progress of stories, keep things organized in projects and move items around when priorities shift. Stories provide a level of detail that helps keep teams aware of progress. They recently introduced customizable story templates, which have been great for making sure our bug tickets have the level of detail we expect on our team. I would highly recommend Pivotal Tracker for agile teams looking to keep organized.
CONSI wish there was more customization in the app. Some of the stages of a story don't particularly fit within our team's workflow, and the agile approach of velocity and estimates don't currently apply to us, but seem to still determine where our stories fit in a sprint. It would also be nice if the app brought more of a product management approach into it's design - currently, our list just ends up looking like a large parking lot of features, and we end up doing a lot of dragging and dropping to put things in order. It would be great to show that these things are tied to particular product goals.

Agile - The Meh Parts
Save yourself the trouble and just use Trello. It's not worth it.
PROSUI is pretty snappy and is reasonably good at updating without reloading. Story templates are nice, and the new code/qa review options are a nice move.
CONSHow would you like a nice management friendly stick to beat your developers with? This software follows and encourages the worst parts of capital A Agile. While I do think it would be possible to use it "correctly" from a developer point of view, its definitely targeted at the managers and isn't really helpful in assessing actual work accomplished, or work that needs to be done. Backlog and icebox are confusing.
Reasons for switching to Pivotal Tracker
No choice.

A minimalistic yet powerful project management tools
I would totally recommend Pivotal Tracker for project and task management. It's an amazing value for its price and it can be as powerful as you want it to be.
PROSPivotal was a great tools for managing the teams tasks. It makes creating, prioritizing and keeping track of tasks really a breeze, all within a minimalist interface that's really easy to use. It's also worth mentioning its APIs allow for many types of really handy integrations.
CONSIn my opinion the only thing could make Pivotal even more appealing would be a more modern looking interface (while keeping its the great simplicity and ease of use). Currently it does look a bit outdated.

Simply the best project management tool
I have started to use pivotal tracker to manage the project I work on. It really help me to follow agile process and complete the project within the deadline. Easy to adopt and learn for beginners as well. Adding images to the task is really helpful. Strong integration to downstream apps.
CONSUX is sometimes bit difficult to use - Hope there is improvement going on in UX usability.
