Dragonboat vs Striven

Dragonboat is a web and API platform for running the product development lifecycle. It connects strategy, insights, product work, execution, and outcomes through a shared operating context. Five modular apps cover Strategy, Intake, Roadmap, Planner, and PDLC. Planner handles capacity management, resource allocation, and scenario planning. The platform includes multiple roadmap views, prioritization frameworks, release planning, requirements management, a feedback portal, and feedback imports. Dragonboat lists more than 200 integrations through native connections, APIs, and MCP, including Jira, Azure DevOps, Salesforce, Slack, and Power BI. Strategic context can sync to Jira, Azure DevOps, and Rally, while execution signals return in real time. REST APIs provide programmatic read and write access, and an MCP server supports AI clients and agents. Essential provides free read-only and requestor users up to 100. Enterprise adds complex organizational structures, custom configurations, advanced integrations, portfolio trend and risk analysis, and a dedicated Customer Success Manager. Two-factor authentication and Google SSO are supported; Microsoft Entra ID and Okta SSO are Enterprise-only.
