Featured Reviews

Satya Raju - PeerSpot reviewer
A versatile and scalable data warehousing with SQL-like querying capabilities on large datasets stored in Hadoop, offering ease of use, flexibility and compatibility with various data formats
If the use case involves creating a data warehousing solution with complex functionality, data analytics, and extensive querying requirements, especially if there's a need for a data lake, then opting for Hadoop and Spark is advisable. In this scenario, Hadoop with technologies like Hive and Spark can provide the necessary capabilities. On the other hand, if the application's primary focus is on handling large volumes of data without the requirement for complex features, data warehousing, or advanced querying, and if dashboarding visibility is not a priority, then MongoDB could be a suitable choice. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.
Saroj Ekka - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good repository integration, sprint board and easy to set up
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. We can know the capacity and what happened with the whole sprint, but not for an individual person to see where it's falling and how it's tracking. Report and analytics capabilities are important for a product manager. That visibility is important, so we use Jira. Some of the features are there, and I use my own Excels or other data things to compensate for that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a good solution for us when it comes to metadata implementation. It's beneficial to have metadata stored in Hive."
"It excels in handling diverse data formats and is particularly beneficial for constructing a data lake for companies with mixed data types, such as videos and structured data."
"The scalability is good."
"The ordinary user has an interface that is very clear."
"The features that we find most valuable are the Workflow, Scrum workflow, and Dashboards."
"The flexibility to create different flows is most valuable."
"I've never had a bug or a bug message that I needed to open a ticket for."
"JQL, JIRA Query Language enables me to filter all the issues, display the items as I want."
"Jira has a useful user interface and overall is easy to understand and learn."
"It's flexible and it can provide a lot of different options, such as dashboards, that you can create and manage."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would also like to see AI implementation."
"For smaller datasets, it may not be as suitable, and its performance might not be optimal."
"Test case management could be more user-friendly. When we add or update test cases, there should be a better way to organize them within the dashboard."
"Could be more stable with more integrations."
"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."
"I'd like the solution to be more secure."
"The sprint-related graphics need to be improved."
"I'm really new to Jira and I haven't used all of the features. However, it is quite difficult to use and manipulate. It was a little complicated for me and I don't know if it's difficult globally for others, but I had a difficult time understanding it at first. I used it for issues, epics, stories, tasks, and sub-tasks. For first-time users, Jira could be made better to help them understand."
"The automation feature needs to be more user-friendly."
"Of course, the price could always be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"There is an annual subscription to use Jira."
"We are on an annual license to use Jira."
"The price of Jira is reasonable."
"Compared to the value Jira provides, it’s not that expensive. It has an yearly licensing cost."
"The cost is about $10 per user, per month."
"The price at the moment for Jira is okay. I'm absolutely not amused with the plans to try to drive us to the cloud or to other licensing models. For the very simple reason that we are a company in the defense sector where cloud is problematic in a number of the domains. We are now approximately 60 users and the new policy will actually confront us with an upscale to approximately 500 users. I find it unacceptable, and may potentially lead us to look for another solution."
"The price is quite competitive."
"The tool is expensive."
