Agile Tools Comparison – Late 2012

Working at iCityConcierge, we began evaluating a good project management and agile tool. We narrowed to the list below and I did a detailed analysis on each one of them. Results below, for your perusal.

Tools Stories Bug Tracking Dependency Tracking Reports Integration with Sourcecode management tools Comments
ActiveCollab Yes Yes No Yes Yes Simplicity, not 100% agile.
GreenHopper Yes Yes with JIRA Yes Yes Separate plugin Oriented towards large enterprises.
Pivotaltracker Yes No No Yes Yes Single Workspace window, looks cluttered when the project size increases.
Yodiz Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Easier distinguishing between various aspects of Agile Process and project development.
Mingle Yes Yes No Yes Yes
Fulcrum Yes Clone of PivotTracker , but free. Still under development

Conclusion : Yodiz wins hands on, with its sleek interface, easier distinguishing between various aspects of agile development. I prefer to call it the foursquare of agile development tools.
