Great Project Management tool for Software Development
Very positive on Assembla. We have used Assembla for 5+ years. The new enhancements are great. Really appreciate how Assembla listens to their clients feedback and takes action(s) on their recommendations.
PROSWe like Assembla for it's collaboration amongst our team members spread all over the world. It provides real time metrics for our developers. We have had several other firms attempt to lure us away from Assembla.
CONSThe development team likes the ability to set up quick Sprints, allocate team members to specific tasks, and have all documents contained in one centralized system.

When GitHub issues just don't work
Overall our experience with Assembla has been positive and it is indispensable to our workflow. While it would be possible to replace it with another product, it would not be without the pain of changing how we work to accommodate the tool.
PROSTicketing is critical to our process for managing software project. Assembla has a great list view that allow us to have custom fields for each project. This allows us to create views into projects that sort and filter tickets by criteria meaningful to our stakeholders. Additionally tickets have good support for relationships and some hierarchy. This is in contrast to GitHub or GitLab issues, which offer limited support for sorting and filtering and require a tedious management of tags for everything not provided by default (which isn't much) A project with any serious complexity should consider using Assembla for ticket management.
CONSThe wiki syntax for tickets is non-standard and clunky. Developers use Markdown for every other tool that requires them to write prose. The lack of support for Markdown seems like a fairly large oversight. This becomes especially egregious when developers refuse to learn yet another syntax and just paste markdown into tickets despite the lack of support. Who can blame them. A more minor point is that the various features lack a coherent design language and level of quality. The UI/UX can be fairly different between modules, almost like they were written by different teams or at different eras of web development history. Also the level of quality varies wildly. You will find that some modules are rife with bugs and interface quirks while others operate bug free using modern interface idioms. Overall this makes the product seem lower quality than something more polished like GitHub, despite having a solid core of features needed for real project management.
Reason for choosing Assembla
The realtime list. Other products just don't have this same amount of flexibility. This becomes especially obvious when you have accumulated hundreds of tickets over a decade of use.

HORRIBLE user experience!
HORRIBLE CANNOT RECOMMEND I did not even get AN EMAIL just to ACKNOWLEDGE I had reached out to them for help (and presumably someone will eventually get around to responding in this "chat")
PROSI... suppose I could paste a public ssh key (and it seems to work)
CONSCANNOT EVEN CHECKOUT ANY REPOSITORIES - not with ssh and NOT with username and password! apparently User Management is a complete PAIN to use with these guys oh and the "chat" says someone will response WITHIN A FEW HOURS
Reasons for switching to Assembla
company policy - for some reason using them is non-negotiable
Vendor Response
We are very sorry to hear about the challenges you have faced while using Assembla. We would like to clarify that checking out repositories is a core component of our platform and can be done without any issues. Our support team has found that, in most cases, this problem occurs due to incorrect username and password combinations. Please make sure to type up your password and avoid copy/pasting, as this sometimes can introduce other characters inadvertently. Additionally, if you log in with SSO or MFA, normal passwords won't work and you'll need to create an SSH key and add t o your Assembla profile. But we'll be happy to look into this issue more closely. We're actively searching for your support ticket, and to help us locate it more efficiently, please send us an email at support@assembla.com. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to resolving any issues.

Kanban driven but needs improvements
Kanban board is one of the most advanced features from the market, it's quite clear and nicely designed. Sometimes drag n drop were rigged but lately i think it got fixed. Github integration should be in price not in higher tier as it's quite used. Wiki pages could be extendend.
CONSI don't like that there is no emergency line as it should be in Kanban theory. I can't customise priorities Whole board view is horizontal driven i can't do a tree structure and see it from top down. Which is difficult if we need to monitor and organize more then 1 milestone or topics on one board. I can't have a view with 3-4 boards on its , we have 3 or 4 boards per project in a team, and as a team we should have a view which merges all 3-4 boards and allows to plan and organize tasks with the 4 different projects. Excel / google sheets export could be nice - sometimes for overall planning the cards are too heavy and there is too much colors, excel is quite tabular, and with my client we are often using excel beacuse its better for fast and simple view - this could be major enhancemnt to prepare simple view, which would give overall ticket status in form of table with columns

Managing & Controlling the Code is So Easy with Assembla
It's one of the application which we use for our work has no downtime. Any query raised, is answered in kind of no time.
PROSEasy to use. Application has very intuitive interface. Fast Speed Reasonable Price Awesome Support
CONS1. Though, the User Interface is interactive, but, if some change reports are introduced, should be helpful.
Reason for choosing Assembla
Cost Effectiveness and Earlier Trust
