Roadmunk Reviews

The setup is fairly easy, but that also means there are not many features to explore atleast at a "starter" package

Their customer service is very upfront - starter package is of no use and there are no features in there - very hard upsell, and the number of features are not that great as compared to the competition.

I was also told that this is a one-off call and they wont be supporting any 1:1 demos/discussions unless I pay more. By the ways I was invited to the call.

It is customizable and easy to use. We enjoy very much the exports options, like the URL export.

The date range is always changing. It could be better if we could setup the beginning and end date of all roadmaps by default. For example, the template should be the FY (april to march) and we must show 2 FY in every roadmap. But if a project started in 2015, when we change colors or filters the range gets back to 2015.
Also, the reviewer plans should be more acessible.

Ease of Integration with existing JIRA boards
Organization Theme and Color Scheme on Different Views
VERY straightforward UI/UX for both users and admins

Need more features around customizing Gantt Charts for showing trend lines and swim-lanes.A
Need some additional icons for milestones and tasks.

The user experience and onboarding is absolutely brilliant. This is simply the best planning software for small-to-medium technology companies.

No initial cons to discuss about Roadmunk. They are very receptive to feedback and their customer support is excellent.

Roadmunk is a tool that allows me to track my roadmap, post the link, and make it available to everyone as needed. I can also update every sprint.what I like are the templates that are already provided and allow me to mount mine without worry.

The only difficulty I had was synchronizing with the TFS or the Internal AZure DevOps. Roadmunk should do something to facilitate this synchronization

Ease of use, deployment and low threshold to adoption (intuitive interface and features reduce need for training and reasonable user licensing fees)

Need support for additional formats to download and port the roadmaps.

- I really like the design and I think it is quite important that the exported roadmaps do look clean and pretty as they are shared with external stakeholders.
- Also like the approach to the work with data, where each item (feature) has many fields (attributes) and you can order/look at your data-set across different fields (per dev teams/software component/ month of realease...). You can also save these views so you can switch between them easily

There is only one single big issue with Roadmunk and thats performance. The JIRA synchronization work well, but if you have projects with lower hundreds of epics (and higher hundreds of stories), you will be forced to make sacrifice and to choose higher level look. They are on it supposedly, so hopefully this will improve

The ability to drag and drop and see a holistic view of the roadmap

There were very few features and functionalities, other companies like Atlassian has better integration and roadmap that integrates with tickets and progress

It is very easy to use, has the features and capabilities that is needed and that you can tailor roadmaps to fit your strategy.

That you have to pay $5 per month per reviewer.
I lack the option to "flag"/visualize features on the roadmap with a risk of delay

Intuitive
Visually pleasing
Easy to teach

Formatting - it is hard to see the label title on your timeline view. I wish there was a way to wrap text so you can see the entire label

It also is a little clunky how it lines up on the swimlane view and overlapping tasks are on different lines, but then later tasks can be on a previous line

In swimlane view, I wish a label could straddle over a couple of quarters or buckets vs having to select if you want it in the month it is ending or beginning

I love that I can share online versions of my roadmaps, and that they come out looking super organized and clean.

Not all roadmaps are linear. I'd love to see the ability to build cycles in different structures (maybe similar to smart art)

Display of timelines and milestones is easy to view and share

Sometimes takes long to load once you have made updates

The main use for Roadmunk in my organization is to provide visibility of Epic progress, conflicts and potential risks on the progress of our development intiatives.
Integration with Jira has been incredibly useful as we can provide exposure of progress to upper management on very comprehensive way and it provides tools for open discussions. These would have been very difficult using native Jira reporting tools.

My organization has a complex structure and providing reports or view access to different level of users has been a challenge, but I believe it's based on the nature of our own structure and not a flaw in the platform.

Love the jira integration, the flexibility to setup your own fields, views. Good pricing, value for money!

I'm missing the option to get user feedback on ideas generated by our customers.

the chance to get an kanban or timeline view about indexes I created

that I cant change the color manuel from an item

1. Easy to build roadmaps
2. Excellent support team, they get back with answers in almost real time
3. I like the different views

1. There are some big caching issues, especially while publishing as URL or when trying to create sub-projects
2. Certain things such as Activity feed should be added as standard

It's not easy to use, seems easy but isn't, a good part is that it looks nice to put it on a business plan or whatever

Well as said the software is not easy to use, and offer one feature, timeline, oh and also something similar to kanban view but not really kanban

Roadmunk has helped us by providing a broad landscape view of all of our products, with the ability to drill down and see the details of each project and its scope. We do not regret purchasing Roadmunk and would not have the concise view of our products needed without it!

No cons to report as far as this planning tool is concerned, we have been happy with the product.

Roadmunk is useful for visualizing timelines and milestones for just about any project you decide to use it for, though it's probably best-used for IT purposes.

There can be issues with timeline visualization when going between a spreadsheet with all of your projects, milestones, and dependencies, and translating that to timeline format.
