Curate your user feedback and manage your backlog

PROS

Productboard is an excellent tool to help you make sure your roadmap is driven by real user feedback and value to your customers.

CONS

Productboard is a fairly young company and is still building out some "no brainer" features, but they also release fantastic updates often!

Helps tell our product story

This is helping us prioritize our features. A little help on our bandwidth and if we have the pipeline full. This helps us have a clean deliverable to stake holders. Very easy portal feature to better engage company and clients. Helping us manage our large client feedback pool from multiple sources.

PROS

Very visual. It can handle the large influx of customer feedback and help funnel that to the right part of our product. Helps other departments feel involved in the product evolution and road map. Great way to keep people in the loop to what we have cookin. Love the portal aspect. Very powerful feature set there. Can't wait to engage our client based with a full portal of where we are going, where we are, and where we've been. Easy self on boarding. Great sales process. Great overall.

CONS

Not too many cons yet. I don't anticipate too many. Not sure how fast they crank out new features yet.

Reason for choosing Productboard

Newer, Fresher, Easier to digest, seems more like our company culture. Growing feature set.

Reasons for switching to Productboard

Needed more functionality, funnel customer feedback, and a better way to communicate the road map.

The billing mechanism of individual plan is awful experience

After spending some time on working with the tool and really enjoying its quality, I was sure that I would stay with it. But experiencing tricky non-transparent billing is just cold shower making the tool same as any other, just half way through to full value.

PROS

It is for sure well thought through tool.

CONS

It is not mandatory or sole source ... so charging individual for adding member without any alert or notice that just selecting someone as member from drop down menu automatically apply charging to your card is really awful experience ruining any value for the product

Great tool for centralising product information

PROS

A place to put all the feedback where it won't get lost and forgotten since it can be linked to specific features and used to inform planning.

CONS

Nothing major. There are features we'd appreciate in future like objectives on timelines, user story mapping, etc but they're not vital.

Reason for choosing Productboard

It scored highest on our criteria and was better looking than our 2nd highest (Aha!). We prioritised for multiple views for different teams/people, visual prioritisation matrix, having Objectives as a standalone thing, feedback library and various integration needs. AirFocus scored as well on roadmap aspects but had no feedback functionality, the cost of standalone feedback tools ruled this out.

Best software for Product Managers!

Problems business solved: -Backlog centralization -Prioritization decisions -Roadmap visibility

PROS

I receive a lot of different input across many channels. With Product Board, I can use my Chrome extension and send everything there. Once a week a specific time is designated to search across all input and find the most valuable insights. The flexibility is also a great benefit, I highly use custom tags and split different views based on our needs for prioritization decisions, market reach or competitors gap. All our product management is around this tool.

CONS

Nothing particular, the team keeps adding great features on new releases.

Reason for choosing Productboard

Product board is more specific to solve our needs.

Invaluable for those who really care about user input

PROS

Linking user insights to feature development; Making insights available to developers, designers and others that are working on a feature; Communicating the roadmap with users; Collecting insights from portal as well as other channels in one place."

CONS

It still lacks multi-language support (any other language than English) and the ability to directly interact with user insights.

Reasons for switching to Productboard

Because we needed to link insights to product development easily so that anyone working on a new feature could easily find and access user insights.

Productboard review

We'll be using productboard for as long as our company is in business

PROS

Ability to create a home for product feedback Ability to organise feedback against the product's hierarchy, which then completely objectifies what to build next -> productboard is the only product that can do this Creating a publicly available portal

CONS

You can't automatically link your userbase and their orgs, meaning that you have to manually create a new organisation each time you receive feedback from a new company The roadmapping section hasn't been great (no gantt view), however, it's about to be released

Reasons for switching to Productboard

Aha was crummy, it was complex and convoluted It did not help us make better decisions in any way

Best of breed Software

PROS

There is no better way to record your feedback and, more importantly, link your feedback to a feature that a user has asked for. Also: the ability to strategically view all features is amazing.

CONS

There is no way to record conversations (actual audio) and save it. Some of the filters are slightly confusing.

Reasons for switching to Productboard

ProductBoard is made specifically for my problem. No need to panel beat it into what we need.

Opinionated yet flexible

It's been great and has been helping my company stay aligned on product priorities.

PROS

Productboard has all the features you'd need for product management and those features can even act as a guide as to how you should be managing your product. It is also flexible enough to adjust to your workflow. I also like the ability to share features and get feedback internally and externally. The Gif feature is also really cool.

CONS

I wish there could be limited maker access since I have junior pms and product analyst that supports feature spec'ing but they don't own the process and it would not be a full-time job for them.

Reason for choosing Productboard

Ease of use, more supportive of agile, seemed to support my current process but had way more capabilities.

A great bridge for bright product idea and its launchpad

Productboard allowed me to easily organize, understand, bucket feature requests and feedback the items from customers. As a project lead, I have to understand where the customers are facing difficulties and what additional features they might require. This software is really helpful in gathering insights and trend analyzing.

PROS

Productboard has a lot of built-in features (Objectives & Drivers) and is super simple to customize. It helps one in planning and prioritizing effectively. UI is very intuitive and clean, l personally feel good that they are always updating to the latest features based on users requests.

CONS

They are constantly bringing new features to meet the requirements of the users. However, the integration with the Gitlab has been missing is a setback for my project. Also, the upvoting features are little cumbersome to use.

New on the market but still plenty of room to grow.

Overall the team at Productboard are amazing! They are a joy to work with and their product just looks so good. However, you can’t judge a book by its cover, their is still a lot of room for growth, and until then, there is a bit too much to be desired with Productboard

PROS

The staff at Productboard is incredible and their product is beautiful. One of the nicest roadmap views you will ever see!

CONS

Lacking some of the features we are looking for. The team said they would be able to build them out, but we are still waiting, specifically around customer feedback management. The insights are not the easiest way of tracking customer feedback.

Reason for choosing Productboard

Price and easier to work with their team. Also the athletics of the product.

Fantastic way to communicate and manage your roadmap

I have worked with productboard at multiple companies, and it's always been received well. People like the feel and organization of it and how much of the process it can help with; parts that just don't get enough attention with other products.

PROS

The best part about productboard is how teams can vet and plan improvements to their products based on how much those improvements support and achieve a company's objectives. It's so easy to get things in, annotated, and shaped that you actually do it; you don't just say you will eventually. To start, you can use just the parts that are the most important to get up and running, and then you can use more of it as your team begins to integrate productboard into their process. And it's not hard work to get your ideas and backlog in and move forward—it's cathartic.

CONS

The biggest thing for me is performance. Sometimes some parts of the UI feel a little sluggish when lots of items are displayed and clicks get delayed. It would also be a little nicer to have the Drivers feature available at the lowest level of pricing.

Reasons for switching to Productboard

Other products were either too light on ways to look at features or they were waaaaaaaaaaay too complex. This is the perfect balance of allowing me to look at things the way I want to, with a little direction, and enough support for me to expand my use as we go.

This is one of my favorite tool.

PROS

Productboard makes it simple for teams to review and plan improvements to their products in order to achieve the company's goals. It is simple to enter ideas, notes, and plans into the system, allowing teams to grow and move forward rather than simply thinking about what they should do. To begin, teams may just use the most important features of productboard, gradually incorporating more of it into their workflow. It's not difficult to get ideas and backlogs into productboard, and seeing the development may be gratifying.

CONS

At times, the quantity of customization choices offered might be daunting. It would be beneficial if there was a feature that allowed you to reuse specific processes and features across views. Because there are so many different ways to achieve everything, I frequently wonder if I'm doing it correctly.

Constant feedback and feature management

PROS

I'm amazed by productboard UX that is totally covering the needs of PMs. And, eventually, the needs of the users. We can easily track all the insights and convert them to features. Amazing customer service btw.

CONS

Hm..have nothing bad to say about it. I'm using it around a year now and have never experienced any issue.

Fantastic. Been using productboard for about 1 month and am loving it.

PROS

Beautifully designed. Easy to get started and learn, yet lot's of depth to the features. So hard to single out things I like the most because almost everything is top notch and a delight. One very useful thing is how it maintains a link between features and the customer input/feedback linked to those features so the team can look back at the genesis of an idea and understand the full context. A superb little touch is a one click export of email addresses for everyone whose input is linked to a feature so you can reach out to them quickly to ask for more input, or let them know that their requested feature is available.

CONS

There are a couple of tweaks I'd love to make to help with workflow: allow contributors to add/suggest tags and changes to fields like Effort, and allow them to adjust/customize their own views of the feature board. I don't want to make them full-fledged editors, because I don't want them to be able to edit other fields. An alternative would be to grant more granular access control to editors so that you can prevent them from making certain changes; or at least to require the product manager's approval after suggesting changes.

Our new product goldmine!

Better customer insights. Raw feedback that even developers can read about. Centralised team ideas.

PROS

We love using the feedback highlighter tool to link it to features and components, this is such a flawless function! The custom views you can get on the different sections of the product really make our jobs easier. You can really deep dive into your target groups preferences, understand the major needs and remove unnecessary noise. The progress of the features is easy to track and to share with stakeholders.

CONS

On Firefox, there is a very slow scrolling speed when all features are expanded, which can be frustrating. Also, the fact that there are only one-way integrations with Trello and Github makes us create many duplicate features.
