I am a big fan of Trello.com and Atlassian JIRA and imagine my excitement when I saw an Ad for a BETA product that said it was better than both.

I have blogged about Developing software and staying on track before and informed people of Trello and JIRA.

Trello is easy to use.

JIRA is easy to use too.

I decided to give Atlaz.io, a go.

Signing Up To Atlaz.io BETA Steps

Quickstart Guide (Video)

When you finish setting up Atlaz you have a project ready to go.

Importing Trello Items

Trello import was easy. You just need to log in and go to https://yoursite.atlaz.io/company-settings/import.

Trello items imported just fine (in about 1 minute). Because I was going to import JIRA items (with similar names) I decided to prefix every imported Trello item with “zz” to eliminate future clashes.

Importing Atlassian JIRA Items

Importing JIRA items was easy too. You just need to log in and go to https://yoursite.atlaz.io/company-settings/import.

JIRA Imports Happened OK.

fyi: Atlaz knowledge base.

Questions I Asked Atlaz.io

Pros

• Easy Trello Import.
• Easy JIRA Import.
• Price for solo people (Free)
• Simple to use.

Cons

• Mobile App Sync Option missing.
• No Avatar detection (Gravatar).
• No avatar detection.
• A number of potential security issues that I have notified Atlaz Twitter about (I will post these after they are resolved).

I may just ditch my paid Jira just yet.
