Rally is a reliable tool for project management
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Rally Software from other similar products?
Rally offers a powerful set of services that we can use to manage the development of our IT systems, including those of our travel and rewards programs. It has all the components necessary to manage technology teams using the Agile methodology, which combines elements of Scrum with more conventional waterfall approaches.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
This tool is great for controlling all the agile processes I use in my software development. It is useful for monitoring current work hours and pending work as a whole. It shows a vivid picture of the team, the owners and the users. Aligning work with company deadlines is a big help.
What do you dislike most about this product?
New users unfamiliar with agile methodology and terminology may initially find Rally's user interface less intuitive. A technically competent crew is also necessary to carry out the integration.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I like that this software helps determine individual and team ability. As soon as our IT administrator provided their accounts, new users were able to start using it because of how intuitive it is.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Enables Productivity
- Efficient Service
- Transparent

Strong Agile focused ALM tool.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Rally Software from other similar products?
It feel less like a ticket system and more like a planning and execution hub for agile teams. Most ALM tools focus heavily on tracking like requirement, defects, report but Rally focuses on how work actually flows from idea to delivery.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I appreciate is the predictability and planning view. The iteration and release tracking along with clear capacity planning helps team commit realistically rather than over promising. It reduces last minute pressure and make sprint planning feel more grounded.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The UI isn't very intuitive and common actions like updating stories, navigating between views or configuring filters can take more clicks than expected.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you need structures agile planning at scale and clear visibility across teams. Invest time in proper setup and training and be ready to follow its framework. It pays off in predictability but it's overkill for small or simple teams.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
- Inspires Innovation
- Caring
Cons
- Less Reliable

Best for scaling agile teams.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Rally Software from other similar products?
Rally isn't just a team level task tracker it is designed to scale across entire organizations. I can align work form individual engineers up through programs, portfolios and strategic OKRs without needing a bunch of plugins pr custom add-ons.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really appreciate the built in angle metrics and dashboards. Things like velocity, burndown and dependency tracking are already there without needing a bunch of extra plugins.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It can feel a bit heavy and overwhelming especially for engineers who just want a simple, fast tool to manage their sprint work. The interface isn't always the most intuitive and some common actions take more clicks than usual expect.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is a good choice if you manage work across multiple teams and need strong agile planning and reporting.
Pros
- Reliable
- Unique Features
- Effective Service
- Respectful
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
