TaskBeat is often compared to tools like Jira or Mantis, which means that I am often asked about the differences between TaskBeat and these tools. It is very difficult to answer such questions unambiguously, because they are questions about comparing apples to pears. You can actually approach the matter in a factual manner and list all the differences between two completely different products that have in common the right qualification for the "fruit" section, or you can try to approach the topic from a completely different angle, perhaps risking the impression that you want to avoid the topic.
Let's try. Both Jira and Mantis are mainly bug trackers and certainly products intended for a specific niche: software development, which explains why questions about the comparison of both products are most often asked in the technical environment. Here, at the very beginning, you should remember where both products come from, because the ticket system itself is not yet a system dedicated to project management, and considering that companies most often use some kind of ticket management system and some kind of project management system, one could even say that this fact alone proves that ticket management systems and project management systems are completely different.
The situation can be graphically illustrated as follows: TaskBeat is perfect for that part of the company that thinks this way: we have three computer games to develop, three games to implement on the market and three games for after-sales support. Mantis, Trac or another system, on the other hand, is perfect for situations in which a specific game should be written down in user stories, and during its creation specific errors arise that need to be corrected. Just as not every employee in the company will be interested in the intricacies of planning the distribution of a game, not every employee will be interested in the intricacies of corrections in the system of connecting the video engine and the game controller.
It is worth noting, however, that some systems try to go beyond their comfort territory, and TaskBeat is perfect for managing bugs thanks to the ability to delegate an area where such bugs can be recorded, away from the strategic views of the management. TaskBeat can certainly be used where the management of programming tasks is based on the agile methodology, in which there is a certain product backlog, which in turn is organized by the programming team as part of specific sprint backlogs. In this application, the issue of direct integration with the version control system remains open today, but the issues of managing the software development process itself work perfectly.
To illustrate, TaskBeat by default offers each user to start by selecting an activity template, which we call project templates. If you choose a software activity template, users receive a system of views and sample tasks at the start, which are predefined when you first start the application and can be used as a starting point to define specific roadmaps and sprints corresponding to the specificity of a given software project on which the team is working. The template is optimized in such a way as to provide views useful both to the department management and to the employees responsible for the software development process itself.
