Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is for managing teams of 10 or more. It can track the program level and portfolio. There are plenty of beneficial features, such as the hierarchy-level view, customization, and structure plugin."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visualization and organizing of the tasks. We can have a pick, and then we can stick the multiple issues under that, and then we can again have a sort of hierarchical installation, and that's very useful."
"The solution is very stable."
"With JIRA, you can do amazing things by developing connectors, embedding features, and adding new fields to create new things."
"The documentation is very well done."
"The solution's tracking capabilities helped ensure we had full visibility into planned work and scheduled work."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"We have gotten rid of all our paper-based systems and our marketing work is now 100% visible to anyone in our planning organization providing ultimate accountability between teams."
"It has made the entire tracking process much easier."
"I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze."
"The most valuable tools are the search function, automated email reminders, and the ability to track changes through the activity log."
"It's really easy to use."
"I really really like the sort by name or dates functions as they toggle and make being able to offer super-quick organization a breeze, especially when client-facing."
"The automations absolutely were the most valuable because they helped us create a system within Monday.com for all of our data."
"The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails."
"Learning JIRA is not so easy. There is a learning curve."
"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"n the next version I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"If I get a feature but there is not a user story, and I want to know which epic it belongs to, it is really hard to figure out."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"The initial setup could use improvement."
"Monday.com has tons of features and capabilities. However, you’ll need to upgrade your plan to actually benefit the most from these tools."
"It would be nice to have more customization around the documents, such as different title headings, fonts, etc."
"It is difficult to create templates for repeat use cases."
"It would be helpful if there were a little more flexibility with user numbers and the ability to add guests for a period of time."
"The solution could improve messenger-based communication with clients in CRM."
"Expanding the analysis to contain all boards in a specific folder without having to add them manually would be ideal."
"Email notifications from Monday.com can sometimes not lead to the relevant update I am being notified about, which can be frustrating."
"The service could improve in its ability to automatically update."
