Featured Reviews

Debbie Brey - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable, full-package solution with a tech support team that bends over backwards to help
There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it. The feature I would like to see is already in their newer licensing structure, and that's the live integration between Agility, Jira and Azure DevOps. That's the piece that I think is really valuable.
ShyiamaKishun - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a straightforward setup process and efficient project management features .
Jira Align supports program increment planning by facilitating the planning aspect, including team setup, dependency management, and defining the layout for each step or stage in a project. The platform aids in breaking down targets into parts, aligning with Agile principles, and ensuring a structured layout. The most impactful feature of Jira Align for project management lies in its capabilities related to planning and setting up projects. The platform visually understands targets, offering a clear and detailed layout. We can determine when to speed up the process or access the project. We can address the issues related to planning and development efficiently. It is a great product to use, aiding in project planning and alignment. I recommend it to others and rate it a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."
"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."
"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."
"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."
"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."
"I like the way the UI functions."
"Jira Align is an easy-to-use and user-friendly solution."
"Being able to do PI planning using the program levels is most valuable. I find that the program-level reporting is most useful."
"The tool enabled everyone to see the status of each environment."
"In my previous experience, the Portfolio and Structure feature in Jira is really valuable because it assists with forecasting for projects."
"The deployment phase of Jira Align wasn't difficult."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Jira Align is the overall team vision."
 

Cons

"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."
"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."
"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."
"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."
"One area where Jira Align could improve is in its licensing model. There was a significant change in the licensing module about six months ago, which resulted in increased costs for customers like us. This change wasn't communicated clearly, and it made it challenging for companies to adopt Jira Align without facing higher expenses. In terms of features, I would like to see improved workflows in the next release, as that would greatly benefit our organization."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
"Jira Align's user interface needs improvement because its user experience is really bad."
"AI is utilized worldwide; they could implement the functionality for notifications and other organizational operations in the product."
"Jira Align fails to provide its users with a complete package in terms of portfolio management."
"The framework could be better."
"Lacks sufficient reporting capabilities."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."
"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The price of the solution depends on the number of people using it and the projects you are working on."
"At our company, we were concerned about the cost of Jira Align, which is expensive"
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"Our customers buy licenses. We are not involved in its purchase."
"Jira Align is an expensive solution."
"My company pays approximately 399 USD per month for the solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Jira Align a seven out of ten."
"Jira Align was reasonably priced then, especially for a bundle license that accommodated around 50 monthly users."
