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.

Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'm working in the IT department, and the ticketing system is the most important service for us. We are also using some automation add-ons. It a very good product for handling tickets and tasks and managing processes. It is also very useful and easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its ability to connect everything together."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Being able to automatize the deployment of the solution has been great."
"Jira as a structure has Confluence for documentation, and for what it is offering it is a strong suit with Atlassian."
"All of the tracking features are the most valuable because it allows me to see where we stand today and every day."
"The most valuable features of Jira are all the integrations with other systems. It's not the best in any specific area but it has lots of plug-ins and integrations."
"The task management aspect of Jira is pretty pure. They have a lot of great plugins that really expand your options."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more robust release management within the tool."
"The biggest complaint industry-wide about JIRA is they need to purchase additional extensions, such as reporting automation. If they could provide some additional extensions from the initial purchase it would be a huge benefit."
"Once a story is closed, all the records, versions, and documentation associated with it are gone. We lose the traceability of what was done."
"The permissions can be challenging to get right."
"There needs to be more integration and connectivity."
"The solution's stability could be improved, and it could be made more robust."
"Stability is an area of concern and it needs improvement, otherwise, it's a good product."
"The dashboard reports can be improved. Its dashboard reports are good, but you cannot have complex reports. They are currently very basic. For instance, we can only choose two columns for a dashboard, so it is not friendly enough."
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Jira is typically around seven dollars per user, though it may vary depending on regional variations. This cost is for a subscription-based model rather than a one-time purchase. I rate its pricing a seven out of ten."
"To try this solution, use their cloud offering to get familiar. After that, it's in my view worth the money."
"The price seems reasonable to me. It's very similar to Splunk."
"The price of Jira could be lower."
"We have a corporate license, and it is probably based on the number of people."
"It's not very cheap. It's also not very costly. I'd rate it a five out of ten in terms of pricing."
"One of my customers told me that they were receiving better pricing for a similar tool from Microsoft."
"We have an enterprise license that includes cloud service and support."
