Review Criterias

Pros	Customized user portal for each team member to access the required information. Available as SaaS. Bug tracking (JIRA) and version control (SVN, Git, GitHub) are available. CSV export is supported. Team management and collaboration features are also good. You can create stories with minimum data and the user interface is well organized. And all of this is available at a very low price.
Cons	Only the basic functionalities are present and have been implemented in a simple way (together with the traditional problems that a lot of agile tools carry e.g. story priortization). Graphical representations and advanced features are lacking. Also, changing the estimates for a story is not straightforward.
Conclusion	For the price at which you get it (and considering the fact that it is available as a SaaS solution), you would have to pat the back of the agilebuddy team. They have all the basic stuff for agile project…and all of it is done in a nice way (together with JIRA and SVN integrations). However, if you are looking for an advanced tool then this is not for you. In any case, agilebuddy is a good option for small to medium sized projects.
