Aha! RoadmapsRoadmunk
Considered Both Products
Aha! Roadmaps
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
ProductBoard was used in the organization when I arrived, but after assessing ProductBoard, I felt it was too lightweight for our ambitious product goals. It's also critical, especially in a startup, that we focus our limited capacity on the work that matters most. Aha! far and …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Compared to some other types of software we've tested or use in other areas of the company Aha! has a better user interface, has more customization ability and grows with the company and the work we're doing.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
I initially tried to do this using Notion but without an API to integrate it is all very manually driven when any updates are made in ADO, I would have to hunt it out.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
I've worked with other homemade tools and Jira, Confluence as well. They are more tailored for the developers' community than Product and Program managers.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
In terms of outright features, a lot of roadmapping tools have the same feature set. We chose Aha! based on look-and-feel, the easy learning curve, and the reviews it has. Between collaboration, milestone tracking, comment threads, and content importing and exporting, we had …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Jira is centered around product development, whereas Aha! is centered around product management and road-mapping. Both allow for planning and tracking, but Aha! is more user-friendly.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha has more features continually being released as a Product Management tool. In comparison to ProductPlan, Aha has more complex features and increased support for getting organizations up and running on the platform. They also provide migration tools to determine what data …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Jira has a lot more bells and whistles. It was easier to see how different teams across the (larger) company were prioritizing their own work against all of the incoming requests, and to see how those ideas mapped across the current and next springs. However, it was necessary …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
In terms of product road-mapping, Aha! beats its competitors upfront. Aha! is one of the best tool to visualize your product strategy. However, JIRA in terms of PRDs, gives a complete environment in its own. Aha! is for product managers only. If Tech needs to be involved, JIRA …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! definitely does more than either Pivotal Tracker or JIRA. We still use JIRA to track tasks by department, but for strategy everything is in Aha! and aligns all of our other project/task trackers including integrating with Salesforce so we're able to work within every …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
We selected Aha over the other options as our specific goal and need was to align as a Product Management team across all our lines of business. While other products did well, the customized abilities of Aha, price points, and Atlassian integration tools made it a clear choice.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! is a better fit for the specific type of strategic planning that I do. The other tools are more intended for other grains of planning and/or execution.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Best, power-user tool for product management
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Google Drive is much easier to learn and use but Aha! is much better at keeping important information relevant.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! is completely different compared to the other products I've evaluated. I would compare Aha! to Atlassian/Jira. It's great for agile teams to do weekly sprints and breakdown large features/product upgrades into individual tasks.
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Aha! is slightly more complex and nuanced than Trello, which is nice. Trello feels like a digital sticky note system sometimes.
It's more straightforward in UI and collaboration than Workfront or Workamajig without all the extra (seemingly unnecessary) features, like scoping …
Chose Aha! Roadmaps
Wizeline is an up-and-comer in this space. At the time we considered them, the solution was not robust enough to manage a large backlog or multiple products with a Jira integration. They are adding features rapidly, though, and every release is very robust.
Roadmunk
Chose Roadmunk
Roadmunk beats Aha! through visualization and Gantt connections between work items. We originally turned to Lucid (Spark and Chart) and Miro to get away from Aha's difficulties, but those platforms presented significant challenges in terms of relationships and dependencies.
Chose Roadmunk
We've used Google Calendar, Microsoft Office products, Trello, and others. Roadmunk seems to combine the best of all of those, and then offers a little more.
Chose Roadmunk
I was not involved in product selection for Roadmunk, but for our business need, it is much lighter weight and easier to onboard and use than Aha!
Chose Roadmunk
Roadmunk has an actual product management workflow design built into it vs trying to use eg generic e-post-it software like Trello. Trello is better at free-forming prioritization, which is actually much better than (again) the awkward item navigation in Roadmunk, but the …
Chose Roadmunk
Much easier to use Roadmunk than PowerPoint. The template is already set and the box heights are fixed. Having less flexibility is actually useful here, since you don’t have to build everything from scratch, you can just focus on the insights. The Gantt chart functionality in …
Chose Roadmunk
We moved from Roadmunk to Jira to consolidate platforms.
Chose Roadmunk
To be quite transparent, Roadmunk was the cheaper option. However, it also provided a ready-to-use solution for the team that required little to no training to get up and running. It provided the needed results almost from Day 1. Aha! had the more robust feature set and the …
Chose Roadmunk
In my opinon Roadmunk has the best UX and very friendly interface. The decision to purchase Roadmunk was based also on the great customer service and help provided by the team. Roadmunk team is open to suggestions and is constantly working on their product. It's great to see …

Aha! RoadmapsRoadmunk
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Aha! is the all around product management tool. You need something once you build out a product management role and grow beyond a small scrum team with one or two products. JIRA, Pivotal, and project management tools don't cut it for aligning [engineering] with product initiatives once the backlog starts to scale.
  • On the other hand, there are several unfinished features that my peers all admit to having to work around: Capacity Planning, Salesforce Integration, Roadmap Display Flexibility, User Feedback, etc. This year has been all about reporting in terms of feature releases. As Aha! grows, they will fill in these other areas, so stay tuned.

Roadmunk allows us to configure and share customized views of our roadmaps. As a platform, it has demonstrated progress in its scalability and performance, which has accommodated the growth our team has seen over the last two-plus years. Particular strengths include configurability and customization, along with options for views, exports, and sharing with internal and external audiences.

Pros
  • Work breakdown - it allows teams to do initiatives, capabilities features and stories all in the same product release.
  • Roadmapping - allows for simple combined visual plan of work breakdown across multiple initiatives.
  • Customization - allows different levels of work breakdowns to be available on different projects.
  • Integration with Rally and other tools.

  • Collaboration – Roadmunk makes it very easy to work and edit within a team structure.
  • User Experience – The usability of the product made it quite easy for the entirety of the team to hit the ground running (i.e. very little training was required).
  • Rollups – Each product line and therefore each product owner could easily focus on their particular roadmap without having to sort through the master roadmap making it highly efficient, while at the same time making it quite easy to pull all updates into one high-level document.

Cons
  • Notes - There's not a great place to leave lots of notes or instructions, almost like a Confluence page. Although not required, it would be nice to have this built in.
  • Learning curve - As with most new tools, there's a bit of a learning curve to become proficient.
Read full review
  • The fact that you have to add a date to everything; dates stick to people’s minds.
  • Connecting bars to milestones; unclear which to use when.
  • Collaboration isn’t great; can’t track changes, add comments, etc.

Usability
If you have the time and resources there really isn't anything you can't get Aha! to do for you in regards to managing workflow and releases. The Prioritization features are top of its class, the dashboards are getting better and better every day and the team all seem to really enjoy using it to manage their workloads.

Performance has improved meaningfully over the last 12 months or so, especially in our views that contain many roadmap items. Some challenges remain, however, particularly when changing the timeline and in scenarios of multiple users interacting with the roadmap simultaneously.

Support Rating
When we signed up for Aha!, we were assigned an Aha! team members to help us with training/questions. The meeting was set weekly, and it exponentially helped with our familiarity with Aha! Support is beneficial and has a lot of experience working with product teams.

The Roadmunk team has been great to work with...whether proactive communications about new features or the occasional outage, or when we reach out to them with feature requests, assistance/support, or even license management and renewals - they are top notch.

Alternatives Considered
productboard was used in the organization when I arrived, but after assessing productboard, I felt it was too lightweight for our ambitious product goals. It's also critical, especially in a startup, that we focus our limited capacity on the work that matters most. Aha! far and away had superior capabilities in defining strategy directly in the product and associating all of our work to the strategy. Aha! is a serious product management tool and I found productboard to be more of a simple backlog management tool.

Roadmunk has an actual product management workflow design built into it vs trying to use eg generic e-post-it software like Trello. Trello is better at free-forming prioritization, which is actually much better than (again) the awkward item navigation in Roadmunk, but the other Roadmunk advantages post-prioritization win out in the end.

Return on Investment
  • It has been able to deliver a good overall view of all the items we have going on in ADO.
  • We are in the process of transforming from waterfall to agile development and to be able to see an overall picture of the work items is invaluable.
Read full review
  • Roadmunk has reduced the number of meetings that product needs to attend with customers by 20-25%
  • Roadmunk has eliminated a whole set of churn in our workstream management tool (JIRA) by abstracting the planning step away from the steps where we monitor work progress
