Offers good repository integration, sprint board and easy to set up

Pros

"In Jira, the integrations I have used so far are the repository integration, like when it gets added, or the integration with Confluence, which is good. "

Cons

"There are some features and reports we need that are not there. For example, if I have to find out the capacity of the current sprint by user and compare it with the previous sprint, that visibility isn't there. "

A great centralized tool that has a good agile framework and is useful for day-to-day planning, task management, and work log efficacy

Pros

"The agile framework works well, and I pretty much live by that. Everything, such as sprint management, is laid out. "

Cons

"From a very software-centric or a lead developer standpoint, there should be the ability to work at multiple levels. You have epic stories and use cases or epic stories and tasks. It would be nice to be able to have multiple levels of stories and multiple levels of epics work with it. It's lacking a little bit there, and this is the big thing for me because it makes it difficult to do a real sprint when you're limited to one story per epic. It's really hard to isolate tasks at multiple levels to match the type of use cases you normally do. That's the biggest difficulty. Other than that, they've been improving year to year, and every version seems to have a level of improvement."

Useful for agile management and project tracking

Pros

"Jira is designed for issue tracking, making the process much easier than traditional methods like paper-based tracking. It is number one for agile management. "

Cons

"The tool should improve its pricing. "

Easy to get started with and run reports quite easily

Pros

"It is easy to integrate Jira within our current IT environment. Jira has connectors and supports various integration."

Cons

"Sometimes the screens can be a bit too busy. There's often a lot of information on the screen. I think paring things down and applying some UX improvements might enhance the look and feel of the interface. "

Secure software development with good integration but has high cost

Pros

"The integration is nice. We can integrate with TeamViewer and many more solutions. We need to go into Jira to complete the secure software delivery."

Offers ease of replication of tickets to users

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of replication of tickets."

Cons

"The documentation on how to create dashboards and take advantage of other features in the tool are areas where the tool has certain shortcomings."

Helps to schedule tasks, customize them, and track progress within sprints

Pros

"I have experience with Jira's bulk tracking and issue management. We use it to add new features to our product, fix bugs, and address customer feedback."

Cons

"Improvements in Jira for the next release could include adding AI tools for dashboarding, making it easier to report insights, and enhancing business intelligence capabilities. It should also improve on-prem support. As far as I know, Jira's on-premise support is being discontinued. From last year onward, they stopped providing on-premise licenses and now only offer cloud support. This shift happened gradually, and I believe they now only offer cloud licenses."
