productboard vs. ProductPlan

The best feature of productboard is organized features, it has a very simple structure and can be read and understood by anyone. If your roadmap is very dynamic and the executive team needs to be on top of it, productboard is the best application out there. But if you have a small product and features do not change very often, then maybe you can look at other alternatives since productboard is expensive.

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

• Flexibility - organize your products and features in any way you like
• Input - give your teams a way to make suggestions and provide feedback
• Integrations

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

• The interface could be improved
• Input field options could be less restrictive to the capture of data
• Better notifications / updates on where insights have got to

Incentivized

• 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.

I have previously used Aha another product road mapping/ insights driven software. Aha had great features for the userbase of my previous products. They were allowed to create their own suggestions for the products and other users could then like or dislike the suggestion. This created a real reflection on need for product enhancements. productboard handles this slightly differently. Each user creates their own suggestions and doesn't necessarily have visibility on other users suggestions. The product/ R&D team can then tag suggestions together into the same overall suggestion. This requires more input from product/R&D with productboard. I would however, suggest that productboard is better than Aha. Aha is great for an external user point of view; however, there may be case for users to not have visibility on wider user requirements. productboard keeps more of this element hidden and would perhaps stir up less negative correlation to seeing a system requirement/suggest having had a lot of traffic and no action, compared to a more closed system that would individually update each user on the enhancement progress.

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.
