Review Criterias

Pros	- Freeware - Quick start - Good task management - Iterative planning based on Velocity - Collaboration in real-time
Cons	- SaaS model negatively affects performance and availability - From the perspective of a project manager, personnel utilization control is difficult - For exchanges among larger teams, important collaboration features are lacking, such as Wiki and document sharing
Conclusion	For Agile teams that want to get moving quickly, this tool is just right and hard to beat. For larger projects and teams, additional software would be needed to allow team collaboration and document sharing. Also notable is the usability, which, for a web-based client, is exceptionally high.
