Managed Hosting

What do you like best about the product?

Excellent workflow for team collaborations and for controlling guest/contractor access to projects.

What do you dislike about the product?

A little daunting at first because it's got a lot of functionality (pretty much does everything from source code control to WIKI and tickets along with a Kanban board). Once you get to grips with it it's pretty awesome.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Private repo and ticket control with project management and collab functions.

What do you like best about the product?

We moved to Assembla primarily for managed Perforce hosting, and that alone was worth it. Zero downtime, rock-solid reliability, and none of the operational overhead we had before. No more internal DevOps time burned on keeping the infrastructure alive.

But the real surprise was discovering that Assembla also has a full project management platform built in. Tickets connect directly to commits, so the entire workflow lives in one place. When a developer closes a commit, the corresponding ticket moves. That kind of integrated workflow sounds simple, but it eliminates an enormous amount of manual status updates and cross-tool confusion.

We now run sprints, manage tickets, and host our Perforce repositories all inside Assembla. The context we used to lose jumping between tools stays intact.

What do you dislike about the product?

Onboarding materials inside the platform could be deeper. New team members need time to discover how everything connects. More guided setup flows would accelerate that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reliable managed Perforce hosting and the disconnect between source control and project management.

Before Assembla, we had internal DevOps effort going into maintaining our Perforce infrastructure. Moving to Assembla removed that overhead and gave us a much more reliable setup, with no downtime or infrastructure distractions.

The bigger benefit has been having Perforce, tickets, commits, and sprint management in one place.

What do you like best about the product?

Assembla provides a flexible and powerful project management experience without feeling overwhelming. The user interface is clean, modern and practical (including a popular dark theme option), making it easy to navigate repositories, tickets, milestones, and collaboration features without a steep learning curve.
The integrations are also a major strength. Assembla fits well into existing development workflows and helps teams keep project management, source code, and communication connected in one place.
Performance has been very reliable in day-to-day use, with tools that feel responsive and capable even when managing more complex projects.
For us, Assembla offers strong value because it combines version control, task tracking, collaboration, and project visibility in a single platform. This reduces tool sprawl and helps teams stay organized.

Support and onboarding are straightforward as well, making it easier for new users and teams to get up to speed quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?

Assembla is intuitive, especially for users who are already familiar with project management tools, but the initial setup process could feel a bit more guided. An interactive product tour or setup recommendations based on team size and use case would make it easier for new teams to get started quickly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assembla helps us manage work across both engineering and cross-functional teams in one organized place. We use it for sprint planning with engineering, but also for marketing projects, web team deliverables, release items, design-related tickets for product UI/UX and web development, and product management tracking for PRDs.

The biggest benefit is visibility and consistency. Instead of having different teams track work in separate systems or informal channels, Assembla gives us a shared place to define tasks, assign ownership, track progress, and connect related work. It helps keep engineering, product, marketing, design, and web teams aligned, especially when multiple deliverables are tied to the same release or project.

It also makes it easier to manage priorities and follow-through. Everyone on the team can easily see what is in progress, what is blocked, what needs review, and what is ready to move forward. That helps reduce missed handoffs, keeps projects moving, and gives everyone a clearer view of how work is progressing across teams.

What do you like best about the product?

What stands out is having everything in one place. Design assets, tickets, sprints, and repositories all live together. The cardwall view makes it easy to track progress without needing to understand the underlying code, which as a designer is exactly what I need.

What do you dislike about the product?

The onboarding experience could be stronger. New team members take a while to find their footing. More guided materials and in-platform tutorials would help teams get up to speed faster.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been using Assembla as a designer working alongside developers and IT, and it genuinely changed how our team collaborates. The sprint planning and ticketing system inside their Project Management tool, lets me organize design deliverables directly alongside the engineering effort. No more jumping between tools or chasing developers on Slack to understand where a ticket stands.

What do you like best about the product?

We are using it for Version Control Hosting.
Simply works wery well and have what we need. Completely satisfied.

What do you dislike about the product?

They have much more features we don't need. But this is more our problem.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Assembla for Version Control Hosting. Easy to use and reliable.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Assembla is that it keeps everything in one place. Our team can manage code, tickets, and overall project work without constantly jumping between different tools.

It’s also been very reliable. Most of the time we don’t even have to think about the platform, which is exactly what I want from a version control and collaboration tool. The security controls and user permissions feel flexible enough for larger teams, while still staying straightforward to manage day to day.

What do you dislike about the product?

The platform offers a lot of functionality, which can make certain parts feel less intuitive for new users during onboarding. There’s a bit of a learning curve the first time you set up projects and permissions, but once everything is configured properly, it runs smoothly and is easy to work with.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assembla helps us keep source code, project tracking, and team collaboration in one place. Before using it, our developers and project managers were working across multiple tools, which made it harder to stay aligned and track progress

What do you like best about the product?

Security and Compliance Without Sacrificing Developer Productivity

What do you dislike about the product?

The platform is feature-rich, which is a strength, but it can feel overwhelming for first-time users. Some administrative settings and configuration options take time to learn. However, the flexibility and control you gain are well worth the initial learning curve.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assembla helps us centralize source code management, project tracking, and team collaboration in a single platform. Before using it, our repositories, tickets, and project documentation were spread across multiple tools, making it harder to maintain visibility and keep everyone aligned.

By bringing these workflows together, we've reduced context switching, improved traceability between code changes and project tasks, and made onboarding new team members much easier. The platform has also helped us maintain better control over access permissions and development processes while providing a reliable environment for managing repositories and collaborating across teams.

Overall, Assembla has streamlined our development workflow, improved team productivity, and reduced the overhead of managing multiple disconnected tools.

What do you like best about the product?

Easy to import data from other source. Easy to get help.

What do you dislike about the product?

A bit too much hassle setting up user access on individual repos.

I love that it hosts Git, SVN, and Perforce all in one platform. It’s incredibly convenient for teams managing hybrid or legacy codebases.

What do you dislike about the product?

Setting up the project management tools and configuring permissions can be confusing for new users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the risk of code leaks and compliance gaps for sensitive projects.

What do you like best about the product?

It's a simple and well thought platform that integrate the main tools needed for collaborative and solo development.
It also is one of the few that offer a complete and robust SVN service.

What do you dislike about the product?

It could offer more pre made integrations with other standard tools, like Teams, ecc..
And it could use a smarter and clearer UX/UI, but the current one is perfectly usable.
