Cons
Con No free plan
There is no free plan like for personal use and the minimal cost of $19/month might be prohibitive.
Con Slack integration is really basic
There is no way to interact with tasks in any way - new tasks can't be added, completed tasks can't be removed, tasks can't be assigned, etc. The integration only sends updates to the Slack channel. There is also no way to fine-tune what updates get posted to Slack.
Con No Kanban metrics
Taiga is said to support Kanban but it does not generate any of the usual Kanban metrics (cycle time, lead time) or graph (Cumulated Flow Diagram).
Con Can be overwhelming at first
Taiga presents users with a lot of information and functionality right from the beginning with little guidance. Figuring how stuff works might take a bit.
Con Too much functionality for small projects
While it's possible to disable any unwanted features (modules), the amount of functionality that's present might be more than a small, short-term project needs.
