Pro Easy To use
Pro Nice dark theme
Glo boards has a built-in dark theme.
Pro Automation Integration
Integrates with GitHub issues to automate your kanban boards. Excellent way to manage and track issues for large projects. The latest update provides supports for integration with Jira.
Pro Continuous Improvement
New updates are being released frequently adding new features to GitKraken Glo Boards
Cons
Con Limited
Can't handle complex tasks. The Help Manual advises to use command-line Git instead.
Con Does not support multiple Remotes for a repo
Only allowed to assign one URL as remote. To manage/sync/fetch other remotes, use command-line Git instead.
Con Overly Simplified UI
UI that is designed not to support the needs of power and enterprise users. Management of more than five repos is next to impossible.
Con Buggy
Poster child for authors' programming ideology (FRP), likely the cause for the odd quirks and bugs it has.
Con Not free/libre
This application is proprietary, and thus cannot be modified or freely distributed.
Con No Linux support
There's no Linux version of this client.
Con Non-GitHub repositories are not fully supported
Since this is mainly a GitHub client, other repositories are not fully supported and with as many features and setting up a repo hosted anywhere else but GitHub is troublesome.
