Unfuddle Review - Online PM Tool for Developers

Unfuddle has five different pricing structures. You can use the project management software privately for free. This allows you two users, only one active project, and three notebook pages. The private use is meant to be used more as a trial to see if you want to use it for your company.

The Micro plan costs $9/month. This plan allows users up to four active projects, four archived projects, and ten users. This pricing plan is best for small businesses. Like the private user plan, it does not feature time tracking or some of the other features. The compact plan, which features high security, the ability to store up to ten archived projects and work on ten current projects, and file attachments.

For larger project management teams, there's the corporate ($49/month) and enterprise ($99/month). Because it is a subscription service, Unfuddle can get expensive quickly - but it does offer a lot of features for its pricing, and it is still less expensive than some of the other programs out there, including custom project management software solutions.

• Projects - just like it sounds, this is where you can view each active project and, if available, your archived projects.
• Tickets - This is where your project's bugs, feature requests, and issues will be tracked.
• Repositories - This is where your team can browse code files.
• People - a list of those involved with all projects
• Settings - controls your personal information, account information, and subscription plan.

You may also see tabs for "Messages," "Milestones," "Notebooks," "Source," or "Time Tracking" depending on the version of software that you have subscribed to. The truly great thing about this software is that it tracks issues and bugs as well as day to day project activities.

Unfuddle is fairly intuitive and easy to learn. On the first several uses of the software, a help-bar appears explaining each of the sections in the program. Within ten minutes, I was navigating the program and adding to the project and milestones sections. If you are familiar with other online project management programs such as Central Desktop, the navigation is similar.

In addition to the help-bars throughout the program, Unfuddle has a blog that discusses updates and known issues with the software. It also features support such as FAQs, an official documentation, tools that will help you to integrate with other project management software programs, forums, and email. The makers of Unfuddle have truly tried to make it as easy as possible for you to use their software and to get the help you need should a problem arise.
