What teams tell us about ProductBoard
From real conversations with teams evaluating or leaving ProductBoard.
“We used Productboard for years, but we want to move away from it. The more sophisticated AI analysis we'd like to do is exorbitantly expensive to do within Productboard — so if I really need it, I pull the data and do it myself on the side. That's not sustainable for everybody else.”
“Our repository in Productboard is like 100,000 notes, which is ridiculous. The data that comes out of it is almost like data translated by a really bad translator.”
