Net Promoter Score Definition
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is an attempt to distill into a single value, what users of a company’s products think of it. Users are asked a single question along the lines of “How likely are you to recommend this product to a friend or coworker?”, which is the question used by the UserStories.com website. A product’s NPS is determined by subtracting the percentage of people unlikely to recommend the product (0-6) from those likely to do so (9-10). A more detailed description including examples is also available.

Product Reviews
Fast, reliable, and powerful tool
George Mitchell rated it a 10 on (June 28, 2012)
This tool has been used by our organization for quite some time now. We started out with their installed Windows version, but have recently transitioned to their hosted environment and things have been great so far. The web app is extremely fast and it almost feels like the windows version. I really enjoy the keyboard shortcuts and the speed of viewing items. As a manager, the new visual dashboard that they added in this latest release is powerful enough for me to quickly see the health of a specific project. I would suggest checking these guys out. Their support team has been quite good as well.
Ontime struggles with volume and remote connections

We use OnTime at out company for almost a year now - it has a good workflow environment but be warned that it does not scale well at all. We currently have 35 licenses with only 10 to 15 users online at any one time and it struggles. Also be careful of the sales pitch for using the web or "remote" servers for distributed environments - it works fine with the demo/eval database but slows to a crawl once you start getting a decent amount of items in the database. All you have to do is look at a SQL profiler and you'll see the number of calls made to the DB. If you profile the web services you'll also see that the web and remote environments have not been optimized at all to batch calls, so as soon as you move to an environment where there is any kind of communication latency (we have users in Singapore and the US connecting to servers in London) it crawls. Axosoft's support has been less than helpful on this - they strangely do not view these as bugs and instead view this as something we should expect in these environments. We have contacted their support over a number of other things as well and it is surprising how poor it is. Axosoft's excuse is that we should have found these things out in the eval period, but I don't know how they expected us to scale the data to production environment levels within a 30 day eval period... We have been forced to revert to using the WinForm client over Citrix for our distributed teams. Overall - it is a nice application if you have a small team in a single location. But if you have larger teams or people spread out in multiple locations I would avoid it at all costs. After only a year in use here we are considering a move to Gemini or Jira which would mean a huge waste of $$ and time on our part, but I guess it is just a matter of "live and learn"!

Very user friendly and the pace at which you can develop products the agile way with a very very intutitive user interface is great. Impressed.
