Project Management and Task Management Software that is easy to manage at an affordable rate.

Pros

What I like about OrangeScrum is that it has a great user interface that allow you to easily manage projects, monitor tasks and that the open source/community edition has plenty of features. Another great pro is that it's self hosted and you're not storing your complete data set in the cloud.

Cons

So far I've not been really able to determine any noticeable cons on this software other than that the software was running unstable after installation. We had to apply some manual code fixes to fix this problem, but it was minor.

When we asked for customization, they were not transparent about what would or would not work on our self-hosted version vs. their cloud version.

They tried to be responsive at the beginning, but it is clear that they are a small company and do not have the resources or expertise to support this tool.

Support has been limited even with us buying customization of the tool. We are just now starting to use it after over 5months of having it installed because the company does not do proper QA testing.

Every time we have reported a defect or issue, they have broken other functionality while attempting the reported fix. They don't even do regression testing and put the ownership on the client to do that. To add insult to injury, also though their product has fallen very short of expectations and was not Production-ready for months, they refuse to begin the support period from that point in time.

Instead, they had started it from when it was purchased, irrespective of our requests.

At this point, we have already limited the usage of this tool internally and are working on a replacement

Pros

The interface during the demo period when we were using the hosted cloud solution.

Cons

There are features that have not worked as expected, like reporting, forecasting, reoccurring tasks, actuals calculated incorrectly, 404 messages. Especially the resource forecasting which does not work. The limitations that they did not mention when we asked early on, such as multiple holiday calendars, multiple working schedules.

great for managing simple project assignments and tasks

Pros

We used orangescrum to manage our project tasks and collaboration. It was fairly simple to install and use, once you understand the basics of project management

Cons

We found the email alerts to be too many and redundant. Customization was also not simple, which eventually led to the application being under utilized by the team, who preferred to use the help desk application

Reviewed on 10/10/2017

Pros

This is a simpler project management software that is easy to use with a great customer service team. The price is super low and the layout is very intuitive.

Cons

There is very little personalization and very few bells and whistles, which is something I actually like and look for in a software.

Reviewed on 12/11/2018

Pros

It is very useful for the students. As students who don't have keen knowledge in the field of project management can easily learn important skills. It is very beneficial. It has useful demo also for many options.

Cons

It just need to have some detailed description of options like one line definition for task group and task.

Excellent. I would recommend it to anyone anytime. It is the go to software for all project management, task management and resource tracking needs. It has very elegant interfaces and a modern look and feel. Technically it does the work it was intended to do really well and much better than many tools out their.

Pros

OrangeScrum is my favourite project management software. We have used it for 3 years now and it always performs better. What I like it best for is their Scrum module which has implemented the Agile Scrum methodology perfectly well.
The software is easy to use and self paced starters can get along quite easily. At the moment we use it for advanced functionalities including time tracking and resource management for our large multi-site environment.

Cons

Everything looks great and okay, the only area I would like to see improvements on is the reports. Probably a do it yourself report generation module would be ideal but that has been compensated by the fact that one can extract the data via API and use their statistical tools for advanced reporting. Otherwise the basic reports are sufficient for most of the use cases.

Response from Andolasoft

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to know that Orangescrum has been your go-to project management software for over three years. Hearing that you find the Scrum module and Agile methodology implementation so effective truly makes our day! It’s wonderful to know that even in a large, multi-site environment, features like time tracking and resource management are serving your needs well.

We appreciate your valuable feedback on the reports and the suggestion for a DIY report generation module. Your insight is spot-on, and we’re always looking for ways to improve and exceed expectations. It's great to hear that the API functionality helps fill this gap for advanced reporting needs.

Your recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for trusting Orangescrum with your team’s critical operations—it’s an honor to support your success. If there’s ever anything more we can do, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
