Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Jira Align are its product roadmap and reporting."
"Jira is one of the most widely used tools in the market, and it has a vast amount of data already stored in it. Jira Align is crucial in orchestrating this data and providing valuable views and insights. However, it's essential for tools like Jira Align to offer configurable features. While complete customization might not always be feasible for enterprise-level tools, configurable features allow organizations to drive transformation accordingly."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The tool enabled everyone to see the status of each environment."
"The product's most valuable feature is CMDB for services desk management and backlog projects."
"Jira Align is an intuitive tool that features a roadmap view...The initial setup was straightforward...Jira Align is definitely worth the money."
"I like Jira's structured project plan, with tasks and subtasks. Jira can use various external plugins. Third-party providers can add new features to the solution. If I need some functionality, I can usually find an app for it. They have thousands."
"The most valuable feature is that engineers can access the Jira database and just search for the tasks that are assigned to them. They can then update the status on their own in those records that are assigned to them."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Has many functionalities including good supervision and workflows."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"The workflows are the most valuable feature of the solution, whether for tasks, bugs, or chain requests from the site. I also like the solution's GUI, which is easy to navigate for everyone."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
"In my company, we found the solution to have many issues regarding its ability to handle claims and other processes since the solution is not available on a single window."
"There is no linkage between the Jira records and the overarching schedule. We maintain the overarching schedule in Microsoft Project, and there is no linkage back and forth with the Jira tasks. They are independent of each other."
"One area for improvement is that Jira Align's double menu and multiple menus can be difficult for new users."
"Jira Align's user interface needs improvement because its user experience is really bad."
"The synchronization between Jira and Jira Align takes too long."
"I've encountered limitations in using Jira Align for certain aspects, particularly in implementing OKRs. Jira Align's highest hierarchy is Epic, which may not always align perfectly for specific initiatives. Additionally, while Jira Align offers functionality for tracking OKRs and generating dashboards, I've found that it lacks in some areas. As a result, we've explored alternative solutions that better meet our needs in these areas. Its Kanban feature is also limited."
"The initial setup was a little bit complex."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"The reporting and dashboard capabilities have room for improvement."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"We are based in India; I would like the product to integrate local pricing. We earn in rupees but spend in dollars. Its pricing could also be lowered."
"n the next version I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
