ProductPlan vs. Roadmunk

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

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.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• 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.

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.

Incentivized

• 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.

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.

Great online support!

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.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

• It has helped us in making project routes easy and more clear.
• Helps us in letting our customers know about our progress in the projects or works given.
• Helped us in completing our projects earlier than the deadline.

Incentivized

• 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
