Remember to limit your response to tools you have a real working knowledge of. Some companies search for candidates who can assist their team in adopting or improving their implementation of a specific tool. Follow-up questions may expose your lack of knowledge or dishonesty if you list tools you have not actually used.

I have used Jira and Wrike in the past. I like them both, and the setup varied from team to team. I like Excel for backlog management when I am working on small teams or teams with limited budgets.
I also like to use sticky notes and note cards when it makes sense. They provide me with the ability to quickly and visually organize large data sets. Virtual whiteboards or sticky note apps can also work for online teams.
