> **Mark** | *28 October 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Phabricator makes it really easy for you to move from setup to creating tasks and projects. It's secure, open source, multi-functional and honestly just amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: Not all the features are available right away, so it does require a little configuration to ensure it works the way you want it to.
> 
> Super useful software, that's really well built with the option to make it more serious or leave little developer quips in.

### "A powerful tool that needs fine tuning" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 August 2019* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Phabricator is an easy to implement and free tool, that can be used as a task/bug manager/tracker. It's pretty versatile and offers various pre-installed tools/plugins, with a lot of possible parameters to play with in order to create Projects, related tasks and link this to your repository solution (we are using Git).&#10;It offers the possibility to work with lists or board (kan-ban style), it has a free sprint plug-in that allows to Phabricator to be used as a scrum tool.&#10;Being free and stand-alone, it allows integrators/developers to come up with their own scripts and/or plugins.
> 
> **Cons**: It's a bit confusing at first, since the information can be presented in different style, at different places and, therefore, can be interpreted in different ways. The development is slow and a lot of features requested by paying customers as much as free users seem to take a long time before being addressed. It's understandable but could be a downer for potential users.&#10;The community behind it is not as active as other solutions, so finding a solution to your problem could take time and effort.
> 
> I'm happy with the solution, but I sometime feel frustrated not being able to address/find proper solutions to what seems to be simple/common situations for this kind of tool

With each application named individually but tightly integrated, Differential presents side-by-side code reviewing capabilities for monitoring changes, attaching inline anecdotes and comments, highlighting, plus the marking of resolutions as done.
