The tools I've seen that use GitHub for development also use its issue
tracker. I've seen very little in the way of complaints about it. For
larger feature development the team might prefer something like
Trello.com or Asana.com, but issues seem to be good for many things.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
