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

"The burndown chart is also helpful when it comes to reporting and allows us to know where we are going, especially during development."
"The scrum dashboard is the product's most important feature. It provides an overview of tasks, who is working on what, and the status of each task."
"The solution's most valuable features revolve around the dashboard view, which has a burndown chart indicating progress."
"Jira is user-friendly and offers many features."
"The UI is good. It's simple and not very complicated. It's very good for tracking."
"I think one of the most powerful features in Jira is the customization of fields and workflow."
"I feel the strongest feature of Jira is its workflow engine. It helps us automate our workflows within our organization. It's the one characteristic of Jira which I think can help any organization, be it in any domain."
"The most valuable feature is that it has different APIs available, with good services, and it is completely by the books."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
 

Cons

"The stability could be improved."
"The solution lacks integration with visualization tools like Power BI or Tableau, which would be beneficial for better insights."
"Sometimes it takes time to load the data."
"Could be more stable with more integrations."
"I'd like some more features around software testing. I'd like to see some more stuff done around data testing. That's what I'm most interested in."
"Jira's collaboration and integration with other apps and tools could be improved."
"The part when it comes to the testing area is a bit hard to handle. The screen is too small, you can't really read what you're typing in, and it's only for the testing area. It looks like they have pressed in more than the UI system could handle to display it properly."
"The automation feature needs to be more user-friendly."
"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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise license that includes cloud service and support."
"It is an affordable tool."
"There is a monthly license required for this solution and it is expensive."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The price seems reasonable to me. It's very similar to Splunk."
"One of my customers told me that they were receiving better pricing for a similar tool from Microsoft."
"We are on an annual license to use Jira."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. The product offers flexibility in pricing since it depends on the memory bits you have used."
