airfocus vs. ProductPlan

Airfocus is as well suited for large product teams that have several members working on the same product line as it is for a product team of one. For large teams, the collaboration tools that come in the out-of-the-box solution act as a huge timesaver. Frankly speaking, it will help eliminate a lot of resource-intensive face-to-face meetings. For individual managers, the visualization tools can really help organize disparate ideas into a cohesive product roadmap.

One flaw of airfocus is that it fails to live up to its ultimate utility because–like many SaaS products–it is dependent on the entire team, to include all stakeholders, to buy into the solution if it is to be a true one-stop solution for product roadmapping. However, there is no denying it greatly helps in getting teams a little bit closer to the goal of effective collaboration.

Product Plan is great if you need a simple tool to manage your product roadmap, and don’t want a complex enterprise application.

• Scalable.
• Multiple integrations, including Jira, Trello, Monday.com and more...
• Help run our sprints.

• Excellent road-mapping and visualization.
• Can directly sync to/from JIRA.
• Building a road map is very intuitive because of the in-app tutorial.

• Sharing of finished products (e.g., road maps) via downloading or PDF docs could be a bit less high touch than they currently are. The product works best when all stakeholders have a seat but not all stakeholders (i.e. non-product team members) like to work that way, exporting options for them could be better.
• Customization (look & feel) options are pretty limited.
• JIRA integration only works for JIRA in the cloud customers.

• It is a little short of tutorials, I know that the platform is very easy to use but sometimes there are little things that I had not understood.
• The output of the route sheets is very limited, I would prefer that this could be customized.
• There are times that there is a little space between the bars of the roadmap, I would like this to be automatically coupled and thus have no errors between dates or time when a task will be performed after completing another.

ProductPlan has given better results without much effort in learning to use the software itself since other platforms have been very complicated and the ROI was not very pleasant compared to this platform. With ProductPlan work efficiency has been increased since workflow management has been brought to a level that can be more organized without setbacks.
